K1 SE

Qidi Q2 has been amazing for me. Only other experience is with a Creality k1 SE and it’s a headache. The Qidi has been flawless out of the box.

I have a 2024 model k1-se, I have done and would recommend the following depending on your wanted outcome. General printing: Official Creality enclosure - will allow for printing high temp filaments and minimize warping Side mount spool holder (printable) - rear mount spool is frustrating depending

I'll counter this with: My K1 SE has been fantastic out of the box. After over 200 print hours, it has only gotten better with fine-tuning calibration for models and filaments. Bad shit happens sometimes, and these machines are very easily serviceable and parts are generally pretty cheap ... whether

Just got one for Christmas so here is my insight: Third party extruders like DXC aren't natively supported. There are different upgrade kits for different models, I have a K1 SE modded as a K1C and not sure what upgrade kit I got, but it required some minor modifications to the cable chain mount to

You are not looking at the floor of 3D printing, which is just sticking to Bambu printers, their PLA filaments, sticking to the default Bambu Studio settings and having your filament enclosed.

There are options like the creality helper script that can install extra features and uninstall creality software. But you do not need to do that.

yea but they’re still totally different price points, you’re comparing a bed slinger vs corexy, of course the corexy will beat it. i got a creality k1 se (corexy) and, while i haven’t used a bambu printer to compare against, it’s been quite literally plug and play with no issues so far

While I think the P1S is a pretty damn good printer, I will offer a lower priced alternative with the Creality K1 family. This includes the K1SE, K2SE, K1, K1C and K1 Max. Both of the SEs can be enclosed. Difference is one seems to come with parts from the CFS combo and a chute outside. K1C comes wi
