Will this be a good printer?

I wish they would just fix all the current printers and stop with all these new releases. This ia just carbon copy of the A1 under as new creality name, and they use customers as beta testers. I have a K1 , K1 max that i have to tinker with to make work and a Ender 3 v3 Se that was my kids xmas gift

Call me a Bambu glazer but..

Coming out a a Creality k1 max I picked up an a1 mini from a friend as I wanted to see if it was as good as people make them out to be. Yep. I have a P2S and it’s a great machine. To be fair I also have a Core One which has been great as well. The amount of hours I wasted on troubleshooting that Cre

Idiot! I can't believe I wasted a year on this!!!

Welcome welcome! I, too, am an Ender 3 survivor. While the experience of building it and dealing with all the fiddley settings was valuable, I can say that I have had my Bambu X1C for a year now and only now is it politely asking me to perform maintenance on it. And it still works better than my Cre

Help me please

I'm printing in creality filament on my k2 vs the bambu On bambu. The quality is apparent with any embossed details or holes. They ghost less on the bambu out of the box. Otherwise they're both fully successful at printing as they should. The creality support never responded outside of ai faq prompt

K2 Pro issues and I really need help

Nozzles digging to bed and plates -> sensors not working? I've had this happen back in the day too, with my k1max, i had tinkered with the bed, trying to level it, and those "mods" and adjustments did something to those pressure sensors and those gave out false reading/no reading at all. Quick and d

I love my CC but...

Yeah giga is a bit too big for my needs. Also from what I've seen it's not a great machine overall. I've had some old creality machines in the past and just got a K1 max which has been giving non stop problems since buying it so I was looking into some other options. The CC has been very reliable so

Recs on buying 5-10 of the most "quiet", reliable, enclosed, beginner friendly 3-d printer above 280x280x280mm build volume. Please NO Bambu. $3000 budget total. Single color ok! PLA preferred. Not interested in printing other materials.

For less than $3,000 you can get an H2C and ams which is an awesome dual nozzle printer or an H2S for single color but hey you said no Bambu so just get yourself Qidi Q2. I don’t know what you have against Bambu but the H2S is your best choice for a large build volume that is quieter with the that s

Is it really that bad?

I have the k1max and it breaks constantly. I have an a1 and a p1s and they’ve only had AMS issues. You’re on a creality sub though so people might be biased. If I had the money id go bambu or prusa over creality every time

3D Printer Buyers Nightmare

Since he hasn't replied, allow me. I have a K1 max. It's a pile of junk. If you need convincing, google creality first layer problems. The stock bed is pretty much trash. My lead screws are already worn with less than 100 hours. Ringing. VFAs. The works. I spend more time fixing it than using it.

Thinking of P2S but scared of what I'm hearing

I got the P2S combo in addition to a K1 max from Creality. It’s a good printer if it’s run (the K1 max) but I needed so often to replace things or manually adjust because they are bad produced that I decided to get a P2S to get things running even when I maintain the K1 max. I got now 900hr since No
