Creality User Satisfaction Survey – December 2025

For u/Creality_3D : Your link requires a WeChat login to use. In the US, very very few people have WeChat accounts. I know it's used for damn near everything in China, but it's quite rare in the US. Anyway here is my feedback: I'm a big fan of Creality. I love my K1 Max and I've got a K2 Plus that j

Just kinda over it.

Uneven squishing even after autocalibration, K1-SE

check the bed mesh, it’s probably not level and the probe can only compensate so much. you can print bed shims that will even it out to fix this, i did it on mine and the bed variance went from 1mm to .3mm with much cleaner first layers https://www.printables.com/model/681528-bed-shims-fits-creality

I'm done with the K2 Plus and Creality in general

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

Does building a Voron make sense in 2026

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.

I want to hear about your CFS upgrade

I got it about a month ago. I upgraded my K1 Max, upgrade went text book. Firmware upgraded correctly. I've re-installed the helper script (I'm a linux admin, so I could work around the issues it was having). I've got moonraker/mail sail installed but currently using creality print because it talks

Any advice before I give up and send it back?

No I'm pretty sure you can. You can definitely root it for klipper and use kamp and moonsail and fluidd and guppy. That's what I do for my k1max. I think you're mistaken. Or have very different understanding of what full klipper means. You may be right, but I've never run into anything limited by cr

Need recommendations for a printer for my wife

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
