can we cut carbon fibre with it?

Update It now prints from Orcaslicer 2.0 over Wifi

Hey everyone, How do I get the Display in the Video on Ender 5 Pro? Please help

I mean I fixed the clog but now I can’t put the extruder cover, the fan duct now touches the heatblock

Wow this printer totally looks like something 3D printees have never seen before

TempFanTower is no longer on there... dont know what to do then

Yep they're right its gonna be that hard this is if ya have a simple clog

Very informative👏

Love the homemade dry box it's a great idea and will try it too

I downloaded the file but can't upload to cura its says cannot open files of the type not sure what I'm doing wrong

love your video,s, great source of info I have an ender3 v2 ,sprite pro extruder, a sonic pad which is going great! one thing that is puzzling me is when it doe,s the bed levelling it does it three times before the print starts. Is there a reason for this or can i make it only do one somehow?

@ricky, I am using orca slicer. Main question is about "enable acceleration control". Is there a similar setting on orcaslicer? What else would it be called. Any other tips on settings to use for this test in orcaslicer?

My Ender3 bed is not flat.. its lower in the middle. I used alu tape and stuck a piece or 3 on the magnetic surface to shim it.

ENDER 3 V3 SE, i am lost at what start / end code i should be using when creating a new fff printer does anyone know what to use ?

this helps so much :D thanks 🎉

To make any future cleanups significantly easier, wrap the heater block in a layer of kapton tape.

Marvelous🎉🎉🎉 The ending comment was what I was missing and my print turned out flawless.

All Prusa printers have a necessary measure that prevents fires: turn off the bed automatically if the printer is idle.

I made a filament dryer using a heated bed that was left over after upgrading to a larger size bed.. Yes it works but a cardbox box on top of a heated bed it's very energy inefficient.

Do we know why it automatically resumes a few seconds after pausing now? or is this just a me problem?

Good review and presentation. Subbed

Great topic, thanks 👍

This is still the best video series explanation after almost a year with my pad haha

How dose the Q1 pro compare to the k1c? They about the same price for me?

Discount Code doesnt work

I just grabbed a K1 Max. Love it! I had an s1 Pro and bought a Sonic Pad. But I had so so many problems. Rather than throw money at them, I decided to just grab the max. I dropped my nebula camera and sonic pad off at UPS to go back to Amazon today!

The QIDI Q1 PRO has chamber heating

Great Vid! I have a bambu sp1. How do you suggest i feed the filament into it?

Hi Ricky, I didn't wait for your review on the Creality K1C, I did get one! And like you I am really found of this machine, just missing the heated chamber, but for the rest it's a wonderful printer! 😎 Great review!!!

Excellent review on the K1 C! I noticed that you keep bringing up the flashforge adventure 5M Pro. I happen to have purchased the adventurer 5M. I mostly bought it because I wanted to get into a really good core xy printer. Ideally, I would’ve liked to purchased the bamboo labs P1S, however, for the price of $599 versus the price of $299 that I paid for the adventure 5M. I feel like I got a much better deal. Also, I have the quick change hot end which is fantastic and the touch screen, which is very good compared to the worst screen in the industry on the P1S. I was able to add a camera for $29 which was really fair. Also, flash for to come out with an updated slicer called orca flash Forge this one allows you to print wirelessly to the printer. Which is great. There are also a couple of users that have installed clipper directly onto the printer. I am getting ready to start a print form and I am very heavily considering adding more of the adventurer 5m’s to my fleet because of the price and the excellent print quality that I’ve been able to achieve with this printer. I am just wondering why you have not looked at the base model like I have. Also, I think a lot of your complaints that you had with the adventurer 5M pro have been taken care of with software updates for rooting the machine to klipper. Would you be able to give an updated review of these machines, knowing this new information?

The V400 got a direct drive, so super good for flexible materials and a magnetic build plate for easy removal! Also the hot end got no problems with 250 C

I have a K2 Plus pre-ordered. It's going to be my first 3D printer. I'm excited.

I found the Q1 Pro a much better compromise since it's similarly sized but it has a heated chamber which does wonders, and at a very competitive price. Support is also much more reactive than Creality. Qidi nozzles are also very reasonably priced.

Hey Ricky (sounds like there’s a song there somewhere😂) the U.K. link hasn’t taken properly. It means I’ve got to do more work 🙄😉

Unfortunately, the savvy consumer will always look to a companies track record. At least they are making an effort to move the chains. The number one reason for not purchasing this printer... It's not a Bambu.

Well dang, now I'm conflicted between a K1 Max and a P1S for my next one.

The best creality printer probably still ranks like 10th

Not sure how this got 14 thumbs down.

I'm glad it's an improvement over the K1, but I have seen others still have VFA issues. I don't think Creality has a great extruder design. For my money, I'd definitely go with a Q1 Pro. The Qidi X-Plus 3 has a heated chamber and much larger build area for the same price as the K1C not on sale. The Q1 Pro has a heated chamber and slightly larger build area for slightly less money with a coupon, even when the K1C is on a deep sale like now. I do think this is the best machine Creality has to offer, but I hope the K2 is an improvement still.

I sacked Creality after spending a small fortune with them on various printers through the years, all them had issues and Creality only ever tried to fix one of them, The Ender 5 Plus, and their FW fix made it worse. I didn't even consider buying a K1 as I knew it would be a disaster, I got an X1 Carbon Combo. I wonder if Creality will make future FW updates for the K1? now that they have the K1C out and the K2 just about ready for their customers to beta test it. LOL

excellent review! thank you

Can you just not pre-heat the bed and then get it to do its mesh to get around the warping issue? Tempting to get rid of my pair of Ender3Pro's for one of these..

Had the K1 for a while. Now getting key111 error. Changed the nozzle board and mother board and still the same issue. Creality are not helpful as the machine was preowned. I bought it just outside the warranty. Disappointed as it was actually a good machine when it worked.

Great review. As a K1 owner I have not encountered most of the issues you mentioned. The bed mesh was one I struggled with, but after re-setting the belt and printing some spacer to put under the mounting points the mesh was within acceptable tolerances. That being said, there is one issue that you haven't mentioned nor tested with your K1C (at least you didn't mention it). TPU filament through the sensor and PTFE tubing causes all types of issues. They all come down to the extruder gear having too much resistance to feed the filament without jamming. The solution is a "tower" with a bearing spool holder that sits on top. You have to remove the lid to get it installed and working. Once installed it does print TPU well, even NinjaFlex. Of course you have to trick the filament sensor by putting a piece of filament inside. I know the K1 had it's share of bad reviews, but I've been happy with mine. I've printed PC, PA, ASA and ABS without issue. I did replace the OEM build plate with a standard (bumpy) PEI plate. I haven't had to use any adhesive for any of these and have not seen any adhesion issues. Last, you mentioned opening up the firmware. I've done so with success. It does indeed offer more features. Some are very much needed. However, the down side is when the Creality updates get posted the printer wants to replace your hard work with the newer OEM version. I made the mistake of installing an update and just haven't taken the time to put the unrestricted version back on my system. It seems to work okay with the OEM firmware.

"Nothing else at this price range that does have (chamber heating)"? Are we ignoring the Qidi Q1 Pro ($439) in that statement?

Waiting for K2 delivery :D

Hi Ricky great rewiew I have a K1max and only issues i have had are bed level issues was great for 1st six months then went out dished in middle section, solved issue with rubber springs installed in place of solid spacers, also increased flow rate this seemed to lay down a better first layer(increaded to 110%)would love you to make a tutorial on klipper and mainsail on a K series machine to teach us why we should root our machines Mike

looking forward to seeing your review on A1 as i have just bought one👍👍

For me, nothing matters as much as a solid heatbed. But seeing that they are still unable manufacturing flat and perfect heatbeds, I always feel satisfied when I think about my X1C and how low the maintenance is with bambu printer. I really tried hard liking my ender 3 s1 pro, building an enclosure and upgrading it with stuff, but the heatbed was always a bottleneck in terms of quality. I hope I will never again have to level each and every stupid corner of this hardcore uneven bed... so ridiculous that I have to use tinfoil to make it somehow work... never again creality.

Hey Ricky, great review Creality has also taken the K1C chages and have added the to the K1MAX. the first K1 max I had was a dog. It was replace with an upgraded version and I have had no problems. It just prints! knock on wood
