K1C

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

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.

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.

My first printer was a creality k1 that in the entire time i owned it I had two issues that needed fixing. It's kind of worrying that people just accept this level of failures as normal after paying several hundred dollars for these. That goes for any brand. I can't even get responses to open ticket

I'll get to uploading it in some time, I'm lazy a bit, was thinking thingverse, is it any good? My printer is creality k1c, plastic is creality brand PLA, they call it "hyper PLA". This printer has its own slicing software so I generally use their preset and just tweak minor things. For this one I l

Bambu - high quality, replaceable parts, good wiki, but they kind of decide what you can and can't do in some ways (like in terms of accessories, 3rd party software, not as in 3D files). They have made using non-Bambu slicer a bit more of a PiTA, so you'll likely use their slicer. Overall, not a bad

Additive manufacturing a.k.a 3D printing has expanded tremendously over the last decade and become much more commercially accessible. Just the categories of 3D printing (FDM, SLS, PBF, SLA, etc) can be overwhelming. It's your first I would stick to FDM. Since your use case is potentially replacing f

That's likely a slicer or file issue rather than the printer itself. The Creality K1 Max is usually very consistent with supports once everything lines up. I'd try re-slicing the model and checking support settings or switching slicers. Creality machines generally handle support structures really we

That looks like a small tuning issue rather than anything serious. The Creality K1 usually prints very clean even on stock profiles. I’d tweak temp and flow slightly and maybe slow outer walls a bit. Creality machines tend to dial in nicely with just minor adjustments.
