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

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

I have a Creality Hi and a K1 SE. The K1 is extremely fast! I just bought the upgrade kit to use the CFS with it. The Hi is great too, but because it’s so new, it’s hard to find replacement parts for some things. I love them both!

"só que vejo algumas pessoas tendo sérios defeitos com impressoras da creality" Entra em grupos de outras marcas também que vai ver a mesma coisa kkk Eu já tive uma K1 e ela é bem chatinha mesmo, principalmente com PLA se inventar de imprimir com a porta fechada quando claramente tem um adesivo que

Over time I have purchased a few printers from Creality Refurbished. The only one I had any issues with was a K1 SE that had at one point a blob of death. It still printed but the hotend had filament melted filament in it and smelled of burning plastic. I took pictures and they sent me a new hotend

This is my second creality printer. My first was an Ender 3 S1. I had 1 problem with that printer which was very common on that model. I emailed creality about it only asking to buy the replacement part. They instead sent me one for free. Ran that printer for 4-5 years. I just got the k1 SE about 4

K1 SE (open frame K1C) with CFS. Works perfectly. I primarily use the RFID Creality Hyper PLA with it though. But I have run generic PLA and PETG with it fine.

I've been trying a new process (for me), this is this is what I do now, and this is why. With a new clean textured plate everything would print fine for a while with PLA then I would print a different filament (PETG) and start having adhesion issues even after washing. Go back to PLA and now that wo
