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

Ive had many, many, many printers. I even have a YT dedicated to 3d printing. Wont plug it to avoid a ban. From Creality I owned the E3Pro, K1, K1C, K1Max From Bambu I own the A1, P1S, H2D.

Well, I bought my K1C as my first 3d-printer. I needed to print some functonally brackets. And the price was OK, but the root access was what tipped me over.
