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

I was in the same boat as you. Almost got the Elegoo CC, then they went back on all their promises. Then I found the Creality K1 SE. It was $100 cheaper also. It's basically an updated version of the K1 and k1C, but it doesn't have an enclosure, side cooling fan, exhaust fan, and camera. Currently I

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

I bought the K2 SE after Christmas on sale when it was less than $270. Obviously I did not get the CFS with it for that price. After a few successful attempts at printing and then switching filament from PLA to PETG Creality Print 7 would only slice in PETG and there was absolutely no way to print w

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

Got a K1 SE for ~$150 from Creality’s refurbished eBay page a few months ago. It’s not perfect but I’m blown away for the price
