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

I hate to say "lemon" because there are so many things that can go wrong with a printer and you just have to "fix it". I feel for Creality as 3d printing is still somewhat of an art. Temperatures, flow rates, speed. If I had not had a K1C for over a year and learned quite a bit about 3d printing alr

Der Plan ist, dass das Filament vom CFS-C eingeschoben wird und der Extruder es mit den Zahnrädern einzieht. Bei mir (am K1-max) klappt das auch noch nicht ganz zuverlässig. Vermutlich ist die Montage des Runout-Sensors mit einer Schraube nicht exakt genug. Ich bin da mit Creality noch in Kontakt un

no, at least not for most people. the issue is a combination of uneven thermal expansion because the middle of the bed is hotter, and internal strain in the rolled aluminum bed. Actually good beds are made of 8mm thick cast aluminum that expands uniformly. This bed is made of rolled 3mm aluminum and

I've had a lot of Creality machines. The K1C, K1Max, and the basic K1 are decent machines that provide good printing. The quality control has improved a lot since their early days. Like all products, there are some units that may suffer issues out of the box or soon after. YMMV. Having a multi-color

That's a bit of a stretch of the reality, and the Ender3 is an absolutely terrible comparison to make - it stil lives on today in active 3rd party after market development hardware wise. It made Creality what it is today, unfortunately that wasn't due to their excellent service or workmanship but th

I've had nothing but success with my Creality printers, not one mechanical issue that I didn't create. Thought that Sunlu only sold that "Kidoodle MiniBox A1" thing and that's for kids, is that what you're talking about? Creality sells more printers than anyone else in the 3D hobby printer market. I

The original K1 max would not work. I upgraded to the 2025 versions on the PCB board and hot end. Works great now. I think there's something different about the pcb board other than the connectors for the hot end. Creality 2025 K1 Max/K1/K1 SE/K1C Hotend Upgrade Ceramic Heating Block, Official New V

Yes you have a point, and i agree with you too. I'm just simply enjoying how simple these printers are, especially since my experiences have not been that great overall. The K1C was doing well for the first 2 days, then it got homing and Z motor issues so that was real unfortunate.. like i said i ha
