Im not saying Creality is perfect, they are not. I have 6 Creality 3d Printers, the oldest is my K1 Max, just about 2 years old, nothing major has broken, original unicorn hotend, original extruder etc. nothing major. Had to replace the Hotend PCB , because i fucked up, broke the lidar connector. I

I have collectively 3000 hours on my 3 K2 Plus printers. I print everything from PLA to Nylon. The bed is the Achilles’ heel on these printers. I have one that has a 0.25 variance from the factory, the other 2 were bad, one was 1.2 and the other was I’ve 0.9. I tried a lot of things but finally I us

Vorons are fantastic printers. I built a v2 LDO kit and loved it so much that I got a v0 ldo kit as well for rapid prototyping, and I'm in the process of rebuilding my v2 to be a stealthchanger with 6 toolheads. you can tinker and mod and do whatever you want with them and stock they are fantastic.

Bambu has put a lot of work into their product, but they really want to lock you into their ecosystem. If that doesn't bother you then it might be a good choice. Personally I like Creality and have two K1MAX printers that I run the living daylights out of on a regular basis. If someone is just start

Currently, I've been running a massive project: I've been printing The Castle of the Vampire Lord: a 7ft tall miniature playable reproduction of Castle Ravenloft in D&D. The thing is massive, so much so that I've been running 2 K1maxs around the clock for the past few months. The only thing I'm real

That’s a wild take. I own 27 printers split between Creality K1/K2+/sarmoons & K1max, Bambu H2Cs + one snapmaker U1. My oldest printers from Creality have over 12k hrs. Average for my K series is about 5000hrs, Bambu has the same hrs as the K series & the snapmaker has less than 100hrs since we just

I have 2 vorons (a v2 350 and a v0) and also a bambu p1s+ams and a creality k1 max (300). I like both of the non-vorons well enough, but I tend toward the k1 max most of the time (it's a bit faster because of higher flow, it's got the larger bed for larger projects), and it's quite reliable. the p1s
