Does anyone know how much the new features diverge from OrcaSlicer? u/Creality_3D don't lock your printers, give us true open source! That's the only reason i'm not going to Bambu. I was about to buy ANOTHER K1C (2025 Edition this time) just to find out you locked the printer hand you have binary bl

Download and install Creality Print. It's the software you use to prepare ("slice") and upload a file to your printer for printing. Assuming that you did the setup for your printer correctly, it should now be on your wifi network. You should then be able to find it from the Creality Print software a

I just went through all these same issues with my k1 max upgrade. So many small changes needed from ptfe tube, orca slicer printer codes, new cfs extruder and cut module, and cfs feeder/splicer jamming and feeding wrong. Finally still working 80% of the time with Minor ghost feeding and retracting w

I can't confirm whether or not this is the cause of the problem as I am not about to disassemble my K1C. From a printer-mechanic point of view, this does not make a whole lot of sense. A wobbly bushing on the second gantry rod should not cause dimensional inaccuracies. If it were a fault (and not de

The k2 was designed with multimaterial in mind, it functions far better as a whole than either of crealitys attempts at cfs and cfs-c The K1 makes a larger purge tower with the cfs-c to compensate for the lack of a poop chute

My experience is the opposite, between a Creality K1, H2D, and Prusa XL, the Prusa is slow and still prints like dogshit next to the H2D and K1. The Prusa was also the most expensive and isnt even enclosed.

Creality appears to be trying to move towards a subscription model. What are your sources for this statement? i'd love to hear from you again, this is FUD. Edit: this dumbass then referred "Creality Cloud" as if "Creality" and "Creality Cloud" are the same. Creality Cloud is completely free to use w

If you look at replacing the main board you will also have to replace the toolhead board as it won’t work with the new mainboard. Honestly if you thinking about doing this the best machine for these types of upgrades is a creality k1 series Edit to add https://github.com/FYSETC/Catalyst_Kit

Creality just need to give us root access because they don't what they are doing with the cfs-c and their customer service don't even know that the cfs-c is compatible with all k1 as long they have the the unicorn nozzle print head.

I have a lot of Creality K1 & K2s + Bambu’s. They’re all pretty much identical in terms of print quality and maintenance. Of course, YMMV. My experience with Creality has been pleasant.
