K1C

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.

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

Hell yeah thank you, I'll see check if somebody already made a Baffle for this or a similar card and print it :3 I love my 3D printers but I'd be lying if I said they didnt hurt my feelings sometimes haha, I have nicer ones because I dont wanna mess with it too much but they can get real cheap. I ha

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

yeah. it sucks to say the truth, especially since not only was the Ender 3 revolutionary when it came out (arguably speaking the world’s first affordable and practical consumer 3D printer), but was probably the first printer of >90% of 3DP hobbyists. That truth is that, with 2026 being less than a m

I got the K1C 2025 on sale about a week ago, for $389 USD. Granted, you’re right the current price is about $500 USD, but the K1 “Speedy” is available rn on the Creality Website for $319 USD.. The price of an Ender 3 V3 SE is about $200 USD here at the moment, but sale prices hover around $180 USD.

That was true 20 or more years ago. You can get a really solid 3d printer like a creality k1c between 4 and 5 hundred dollars. A couple decades ago a printer even theoretically approaching what consumer grade machines like that can now do now would potentially cost in the tens of thousands of dollar

my K1C has 2000 hours and 0 issues. Every unit is different and every company has duds. Go over to the bamboo subreddit and you’ll see even they get duds😂 I will agree with you that creality lacks on customer support but virtually every single chinese 3d printer company sucks with support. I point a

I now have my 3rd creality printer. Started with the ender 3pro and learned a lot from it and got it to print very nice. But it was sllllooooowwww. So started upgrading with a better (read silent) mainboard. That mainboard gave the possibilty to do more like better screen, bedleveling with a bltouch
