After digging a bit, i gotta be honest - I'm not super hopeful. The fact they put "K1 series 2025 models (such as: K1 C 2025 & K1 Max 2025) do not support Root access" Specifically on their website pretty heavily implies that root access isn't coming. And you're right - the comparatively open softwa

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

Found this thread via google I know it’s a bit older. I got a K1 max end of last year in October 25 used for 450€ included the sunlu S4 dryer. I got a lot of hussle with it especially with the X axis vibrations. At the moment it runs I changed belts, extruder and nozzle. The counter said 330hr but I

Hope that's pesos, but even then you getting robbed. A broken k1 max is worth about 0. But if you want to be nice offer 1000 whatever money your using. U can buy a new one for under 400 usd. Tomorrow creality is having a live stream and will be giving some discounts. Tell the other guy to take a hik

qidi is the best choice tbh, i really wish i knew about them before i purchased my creality k1 max, i really want to go to 350c but even with all the mods the max it’s rated for is 300c, now im thinking about selling it and getting a qidi or i may just get the cheaper qidi and keep my k1 max for lar

It's fine if you're good with tinkering a lot with it. Every dime you save will cost you in time messing with the machine. If you want to learn about the machine itself or don't care to tinker, it's worth the price. I didn't and I can match any creality technician at this point, but my life with a K

La verità si questa stampante è che il gruppo estrusore fa schifo di suo, con l'upgrade CFS l'estensore diventa proprio un escremento, e non può funzionare bene. Infatti ora è uscito il CFS-C che utilizza l'estensore originale più un motore posteriore che gestisce il CFS, un altra cagata fotonica. C

Im with the previous owner. I used to love all my creality CR10S printers and thought this would be a great purchase. But I just bought two k1 max printers this past November and I’ve regretted the purchase since the day i unboxed them. Ive owned a lot of printers and these printers have been the mo
