- čas přidán 1. 03. 2024
- So 6 months later... I've be using the K1 Max NON-stop! Not only that, but I've purchased 3 more to add to my print farm!
So after that amount of time and usage, has anything changed from my initial review?

#3dprinting #Creality #review - Zábava
Uncle Jessy is never going to live down shattering that door.
My kids kids will still tell the tale lol
For those like me who have zero experience with this printer, may I ask what happened that caused the glass door to break?
Perhaps knowing that can assist those of us considering buying this printer so we know what to watch out for and avoid disaster.
So please, if you don't mind, what happened or was done that caused the door to shatter?
Thanks in advance.
@@BlondieSLIt's tempered glass, the edges of the glass are the weakest point of the glass. If something with a high enough hardness hits the edge it will break and "shatter" into tiny pieces.
For example a piece of metal hitting the glass on the edge can break it without a ton of force. Just be careful not to hit the edge of the glass.
If one day K1 Max run multi filaments than will be my dream printer.
I think the Phrozen Arco is trying to get that title
Think Creality due to bring out a K2 in July with multi-filament system .... also talk of it being compatible with K1 eventually.
the leaks show you will be able to get the k1 max a kit for multi
The K2 plus does.
@@LAYATORSI’m looking at the K1 max as my first printer would you recommend waiting a month or so until they announce the k2 or is it a rumour?
Great vid! I currently have a P1s but have been eye balling the K1. I appreciate your time!
Great video!! Informative, just long enough to cover the details as well the important things covered with great detail. I been looking at upgrading to one of the K1 max. I believe now that is an easy purchase so thank you!
Mine hasn't stopped since I started it up. Thx for keeping it real!
That's actually a really helpful video for me right now as I have a K1 Max in my amazon cart as we speak... Thanks, bro! 🍻
Did you buy it and is it as good as he says?
This was the review I have been looking for; I have watched countless k1 max reviews from 4-5 months ago recently but none were up to date long term reviews of the printer. Definitely solidified my decision on purchasing this printer.
I’ve got one with with currently 20day 20hrs printing time and honestly I agree with what he said, although do bare in mind I had endless problems with the machine when I first had it due to me being new to the hobby but to be honest 95% of issues I’ve encountered has been user error
This is a great video to do because it is important to see how they actually work when getting properly used. Great video 👍
I’ve been thinking about getting this printer for a long time. This is the video I just needed. Thanks.
Don't. Mine was junk out of the box. All error codes. Zero print time.
I've bought all my Creality printers because of your reviews and comparison videos! Amazing work! They should really sponsor you and you could give us all discounts 🎉
Thanks for the update!
Always making such great high quality videos. Love it.
Great review. I am now up to two K1 Max printers myself. I have had no issues with mine as well. I have run PETG thru mine with no issues and the quality is great. Can't wait for the K1C review.
I had done issues with mine for the first days. I really like it, I just don’t know if I’d invest in a bunch of them rather than p1s
Some issues for the first 2 days
How is it for TPU? Especially the softer of the TPUs, like below 85 or so.
I use a very soft TPU that it literally like wet spaghetti.
The junk printer that I have, at first, handled it very well. Partly because I have the filament mounted on the top rail, so there's some gravity feed helping it get to the direct drive extruder.
I realize that most printers can handle TPU that is stiffer, like about 85 or 90 even.
But many cannot handle the software stuff.
Are you able to let me know how well it handles that?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry didn't see this earlier. I have not tried TPU through it. Sorry no help.@@BlondieSL
@@jedispidey Perhaps, if/when I'm ready to buy a K1 Max, I could bring some of my soft TPU to the store, with some object .stl and have the guys slice and print it to prove that this soft stuff will work.
I'm more concerned about such a long travel though the PTFE tube. Almost like a bowden tube (kinda is, I guess).
At least with my current printer, the spool sits on the top rail and the filament just "falls" down, directly into the direct drive spooler. Other than a 4" PTFE guide, there's no other resistance introduced.
With the K1, if it happens to suck with softer TPU filaments, then that's a definite deal breaker.
Thanks for the info, Jedi.
I appreciate it.
Love your content. Watched this video while printing on my K1 max. Love mine as well. Agreed its a true workhorse. I switched fully to the PEI plate but went third party to save a few bucks. I print mostly PETG followed by PLA, followed by PLA Silk. PETG sticks to the PEI plate amazing well. PLA and silk do too but you have to rub the PEI plate after each use with alcohol and a 0000 Steel Wool pad. Then I get zero issues between prints.
I have a K Max and I just love it. Will be buying more later in the year.
Nice. Happy you like them. I have a k1 and it's quite modified. It prints like a dream. I will get a k1 max at one point.
I just love how much of an army frank has made for his etsy
I got into 3D printing about 5 months ago and the first printer I bought with K1 Max and have had no trouble with it at all it is a great machine
You are so lucky! I wish that I could say that.
My 1st and only printer, I got a few years ago. It's a stupid Wanhao Duplicator 9, MK2 400.
For the first 1.5 years, it was pretty much useless. Constant failed prints and I really knew nothing about 3D printers or even what to look for.
Once I finally found my confidence, I resolved all the problems these things have.
At least now, I get good prints and consistently.
But this K1 MAX is really catching my eye!
I think, at some point, I'm just going to get one.
Love your content as always!!!! I am in love with my K1Max! However for Orcaslicer I have issues with the perfect settings or near it! I'd love to see a helmet or mask slice up using Orca and Max in a future video.... that would be a game changer for me! 👍
Keep doing what you do forever Frank! You ROCK!!!!!
I love my K1 Max and was able to get one during a Black Friday sale
Hey Frank! Thanks for your tutorials and awesome videos! You inspired me to make a Mandalorian helmet! I'm halfway through the process and it's coming great!
Bought a K1 Max , it just works. No fuss, easy to replace/refill fillament mid print. Worth the money.
You just sealed the deal with this review, I'm going to buy the K1 Max. 🙂
glad you made an update. Looking to get one of these for my birthday in two months. Looks good still. I would go neptune 3/4 plus but the speed of the 3 isnt great, and i heard the 4s are struggling.
I do love my k1 max. I upgraded to the high flow hot end from microswiss and it’s a beast now! Prints ABS beautifully now
How easy/difficult was it to upgrade to that hotend?
When you upgraded, did you have to tweak anything in firmware to make it work right?
Or, is it literally plug-and-play?
Also, if it's easy, is there any reason to switch back and forth to the orig. hotend to print PLA PETG and soft TPU?
@@BlondieSL was very easy to swap. Took maybe 10 minutes was all. No firmware issues. Just recalibrated the printer and let it do its thing.
@@priority3d Sounds good.
As I do not know this printer, what is the recalibration procedure?
Is it a laborious process or just a menu option and let it go?
Also, I should ask, would upgrading to
Micro Swiss FlowTech™ Hotend
solve this problem?
Also, in using the FlowTech, is it also ok for PLA, PETG and soft TPU?
Or would one have to swap out original with the Swiss?
@@BlondieSL the stock hot end works perfectly fine. It will print all of those materials just fine. The only thing I think needs to happen with TPU is printed straight into the end and not through the bowden tube. if you swap in one of these hot ends, you don’t need to flip-flop back-and-forth. The calibration is just a couple of push buttons on the screen and it does the rest.
@@priority3d Thank you. Good tip about the soft TPU bypassing the bowden tube.
For clarity, the "bowden" tube is just the PTFE tube but the extruder is direct drive, right?
Also, just for curiosity, when you talk about the stock hot end, are you specifically referring to the "newer, updated' version?
The guy at the store told me that many months ago, with the original hotend, there were problems. But that the new machines all have a new design of the hotend that doesn't have the issues that the old one had.
Is that what you mean?
I just got off the phone with the store and I'm like 85% leaning to go buy this thing today.
In our talks, I asked about using Cura instead of Creality Print. The woman I walked to instantly suggested to NOT use Cura as many have problems with it and this printer. Mostly due to the differences between Marlin (like my printer has) and Klipper. I can understand that.
She suggested stick with Creality Print for now and if I really want more control, perhaps try Ocra.
I do understand that to use Ocra, there's some hoops to jump through to get it to work with this printer.
I'll have to research this.
So if you're saying that the stock hotend is just fine, then perhaps I'll not buy the Swiss FlowTech one today. I can save a few bucks. LOL
I LOVE my K1 Max. I have had a few issues with print quality and some other minor annoyances, but that was because I was using Creailty Print at the time. All of my issues vanished when I swapped to Orca Slicer.
Cosplay Armor Tekkaman Blade... ✌️Very informative, as always, keeping me updated on what it's needed to create the perfect costume 😎 cool B. helmet, btw, amazing really, can't wait to see it finished!
Love my creality K1 Max.... actually won it contest over Christmas.... getting another...saving money it....Frank , downloaded Orca ...and yes thank you. The only thing I have done to the machine is the texture build plate and added Swiss FlowTech hot end. Keep up the work Frank😅😅
I’m really in need of retiring my Ender 3 Max, it’s been amazing for the last 3 years but seeing what these newer printers can do is giving me serious FOMO. I wasn’t fully decided on the k1 max, but now I am. Cheers Frank.
It’s not FOMO if you’re actually missing out, which you are.
Love the video. I would appreciate it if you could please show us your print settings for the k1MAX. Including the support settings.
Bought one based off your review , while I am waiting on my A1 heat bed replacement. it was great for about 20hrs and then constant issues kept popping up. Motherboard shutting down ,clicking noises from belts, heat bed level was super warped even after heat soaking. Going to return. Hoping they get it right with the next gen of the Max. For almost 1k there should be no excuse for bad QC. Maybe you should do one of those anonymous purchase videos like LTT or Gamer Nexus does with PC's to see if they are hand picking the models they send reviewers.
I was concerned about buying this printer after fighting with my Ender 3 Pro and Cr10S4 and making countless mods to make them run more reliably. Creality had a bit of a tarnished reputation in my house, but i decided to risk it since it looked like everything I wanted. Runs great to the point I even threw in TPU I gave up on and it printed with no issues. I'm loving this thing and your initial review video is what convinced me to try it. Thanks Frank!
My ender 3 pro is a beast. Had no problems with it except for clogging cause of the ptfe tube. Upgraded to a micro Swiss hotend and runs like a dream. Did some other upgrades to run high temp filament.
hi Frank, I wanted to say thank you, thanks to you I decided to buy this monster, I am extremely pleased with the purchase
P/S I've been working on an Iron Man costume for six months now, and thanks to K1 max , everything has become much faster
The biggest issue I’ve heard is with having a level bed and having to adjust it. Not mine though, it’s work just fine no issues. But it’s good to know the rubber belts will last awhile!
I run 2 of these sidexside and a heavilly modified e3max - and they have not quit. i had the gen1's so i had to replace the extruders as they started to fail. but once i swapped them to the newer extruder they havent skipped a beat. much like you mine run 24x7 for sales as well, and i agree, this printer fills a specific space perfectly and i DO recommend it (if the price point is acceptable)
Great video as always! Any way you can do a K1 Max Tune up video? I'd like to make sure mine is properly maintained, but to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that. lol
PLA definitely works excellent out the box. The only issue i had with my K1 Max was heat creep and clogs in the hotend with ABS. After changing out the extruder and hotend to the upgraded ones, I've been printing with PolyLite ASA really well for months now.
Just for clarity, the extruder and hotend that gave you the problems, was that the older ones, before Creality did the upgrade that is now in all new K1 Max machines?
@@BlondieSL yes, the original extruder and hotend that came with the k1 max I ordered seemed to have issues. They sent the newer ones, covered by the warranty.
@@KishSan Thank you so much for confirming that.
This is consistent then, to what I've been told by the 3D printer store that I deal with.
Mine should be in next week. Can't wait to starting using it. It will be an amazing upgrade from my ender 3 max neo
Love the K1 Max and the Ender 3 V3 KE. Absolute work horses.
I myself have had a K1-Max for about 6 months and for what he was unable to speak about at the end for different materials I can add. I have done Nylon-CF prints at 300mm/s and had great results. this printer while not listed as one for said materials is yet to show any struggle towards different materials from PLA. That being said it has struggled with different PLA brands. My recomendation is don't cheap out on the filament type you use. somewhere around $25 a kilo has done wonders for me.
I’m loving my Elegoo Neptune 3 Max
Loving my k1max so far, bought it because of your recommendation. I feel most of my headache is from filaments now…
Hey man. Question: do you know how to get the preview image on the K1's screen using Orca Slicer?
Best regards from Chile. Love your channel (and I love my K1 Max too)
I love the video!! Can you please do a predator theme video (wrist blades, mask and more)? I would really appreciate it.
Love my K1 Max, it just works! I upgraded to textured PEI sheet from aliexpress because my B plate had adhesion issues too. The aliexpress one has zero issues. Only complaint I have is the VFA lines on the prints. For cosplay who cares, you're sanding and filling anyway, but for others I do hate the VFA lines. Hoping fixes are on the way.
Hey Frank, love your channel!! Just picked up a K1Max. Did you see anything weird with the bed level? Mine is out 1.42 overall. I've run the self check about 5 times now with no real luck.
How do you feel about them switching the k1 max to the new unicorn hot end ?
Also how long until the k1c max hits do you think
I’m looking to get a k1c and can’t wait for a review
i have been using the k1c and its been absolutely great, no issues at all, and the orca slicer profiles for the k1 printers are like he said in the video, they are also great.
Thanks for the review. This affirms that being open source, and not sending your private info like bambu does it is better. The only thing this machine needs is an AMS-like device to throw bambu ver the ridge. I reall😢hope they come with some multi filament solution soon
And yes… glue NEVER fails, period.
@@jjptechOn my printer (not a K1 Max, sadly) I do not use the textured plate.
Rather, I had a glean, thick glass plate made and I use MagiGoo ALWAYS.
It's been flawless. I had tried the glue sticks, but I found that it gummed things up.
Have you (or anyone) used MagiGoo on the K1 Max?
If I get a K1 Max, I'll want to continue using MagiGoo, for sure.
????
I love mine. I got it Black Friday from Amazon with 5 rolls of filament for about $550.
you got a K1, not a K1 Max.
@@briant5039 nope K1 Max my friend. I believe the K1 was $300 on Black Friday.
@@briant5039 nope. I have the K1 max
Can you elaborate on how you got Orca Slicer to play conveniently with the K1 Max?
Thanks
Great video! What brand pla do you get the best results with, and are you running the stock hotend or have you tried any other?
Stock
Hi Frank! On any of your K1 max printers. Does the cable chain grind or sag onto the linear rail? 😅
Yea I love the k1max, been stuck using the creality print just because it’s extremely simple software but have found it struggles to do curves smoothly like a sphere for example but then complex high detail things it prints near perfect.
So, I bought the K1 Max during the holidays when it was on sale at Amazon for $553.85 (including 4 filament spools). Absolutely insane deal... And I returned it lol. I just read one too many bad reviews about it and decided to go for a Bambu, since I don't want to have to tinker with it
I agree, I have 3 and love them. Wish I could afford x1c ams..
Which one is better bambulab x1c or k1 max
I have VFA and ringing since the beggining. Rooted, input shaper calibrated correctly, still got some ringing on the X Axis. I think is because of the rear bottom bushing.
I got a K1 the other day and I love it
you should really do a review about the qidi x max 3. i got mine and its working nonstop like a beast. used to have a k1 max but things didnt go so well
Getting back into 3D printing after a couple of years away from it and wow things have changed! I'm tossing up between a P1S or a K1 Max, ideally I want a printer that will just come out of the box and print with little to no fiddling but it seems they are both just as good as each other! Greetings from the UK, hopefully see you in London in May 😎
I've been pondering the same thing between the two. I can't get an answer from anyone really. One youtuber did say the Bambu Lab was more reliable and more of an out of the box printer.
@@guitarflyer172 that's basically the same information as I have been getting. I had CR-10S's and I spent the majority of the time tinkering and fixing rather than printing which is what I don't want. I these 2 printers are much of a muchness in that they do pretty much the same thing, but maybe the Bambu with it's proprietary hardware and software are a little bit ahead of Creality? I think I'm ultimately going to go with a P1S to get back to printing as I've missed it dearly, with then a view to getting a K1 Max or similar later on in the year. I say similar because I'm sure we're going to see a fair few more printers coming out over the next 12 months
@@guitarflyer172I’m having nothing but problems with my k1 Max. It’s about to be packed up and shipped out for a replacement p1p. It just gives me error codes.
Frank, what is the big draw to a K1 Max over the QiDi X Max 3? Larger with a heated chamber etc.. still fast… orca slicer etc.. slightly cheaper. I realize you primarily print in PLA so things like a heated chamber don’t matter but otherwise it seems very similar but larger and cheaper. I also have heard numerous times that qidi has great support. Thoughts?
Great long time review.
Any idea if Creality will bring a multi-material add on?
It's been rumored over and over again. Who knows if it'll come soon or not.
Dude awesome. So k1max is awesome and orca slicer is the best. I shall begin orca tutorials immediately. Still keen on multicolour printing though so P1S is top of my list. Review on P1P/S vs K1max coming?
P1P vs k1 max will never happen. 2 very different sizes and purposes
Hey Frank, Thanks for the video. Can you add a link to the plate you got for the K1 in the video description?
Thanks!
I second that!
Got my K1Max for Black Friday and it's been printing my Mk39 armor basically non stop since then. Had some bed adhesion issues at the beginning but the glue cured that. Lately I've been running into clogged nozzles, or some kind of issue where the filament gets stuck between the feeder and the nozzle. Doesn't take too long to clear, but it's really annoying when it happens during a print. The last pieces of the right thigh took an entire spool because of failed prints halfway through 3 times in a row.
I got a p1p about 3 months ago and it’s been running nearly every day. I’ve been needing the glue stick bc to me it wasn’t worth cleaning the plate every few prints but I’ve noticed the silks have had a bit more trouble sticking to the texture plate than regular pla as well
Not sure if anyone gotten one of these lately. But i just picked one up at my local Micro Center for $699. I can tell they updated a few things from the first release models since i purchased one from 7 months ago.
It's really the only option if you want a new-generation fast printer, with the build volume that the max has. There's just nothing in its class.
I got super lucky with mine, it was 732 Euros after a 50 Euro coupon on eBay - printed a mandalorian helmet and a republic commando helmet.
Could you make a video or short about what settings you use for the flexi-Rexs
Man is just casually holding a dussack as he enters in. My kind of video 😂
Seriously considering this printer... but I have a specific spot I'd need to fit it in, do you know if the 17.2in depth of the machine includes the screen and door handle or would those add to the depth? I'm playing with 17.5in, but hoping it will fit :D
Love my K1-Max's. I originally purchased a Bambo X1 Carbon, however the day Creality introduced the K1 Max I quickly sold the X1 Carbon and purchased 2 x K1 Max's, and I couldn't be any happier with the choice I made. Compared to the X1 Carbon when I had it, I've not yet had a single problem with my K1's.
*bullsh*t*
@@808GTPlease explain why you say that. There are those of us out here who are considering buying the K1 Max and would want to know both the pros and the cons.
For me, ESPECIALLY the cons so I would know, in advance, what to look for, avoid and expect.
I'd appreciate your opinion as it seems, just by 1 word, you may not think that this printer is problem-free.
Thanks in advance.
Got this printer for the size and enclosure until I can save up for the XL. Not disappointed at all, this things a beast.
I would have waited a little longer and just got the PRUSA XL ... know you've dropped another $800 you could have spent on the XL - that's 40% of the cost ...
@astrophysicistguy yeah I probably should have, just wanted something large until then. I probably should have got a Neptune.
@@krollmond7544 the only printer I've ever owned is a Prusa i3 mark 3S (3800 print hrs) so now that I need a large volume printer I'm getting the XL because I just don't see the others having the same reliability. I need my printer to just work, no tinkering, no upgrades, no fiddling to make it work " like a Prusa" ...
Would the Neptune 3 plus be good to make helmets on? My printer broke recently and I’m looking into getting a new one I’m just not sure where to go I have a range of 300-400 dollars
Can you please list where I can find your K1 max settings in Orca or do a video on your specifics please.
Hi Frank, what’s your thoughts about the Phrozen Arco and did you go for the kickstarter or are you waiting to see if they send you one to review
They asked me to review one but never answered back
Been considering this printer for 6 months and planning to buy it in a few months
Hey frank are you still going to mcm Comic-Con this year in London?
Do you use the standard Orca profiles or have you tweaked them?
I’m looking to get my next printer I’m looking at the ender 3 max neo is there a similar printer in the same price range that I could also consider
My older FlashForge Creator Pro has that whizzing robot noise 🤖 Can't seem to let it go though.. it works SO good 😎
As a noob, its been amazing. I made shims for the bed level. Upgraded nozzle to diamond. I never did any of the calibration, bc im a noob and its been amazing.
I love my K1 Max. PLA Plus and PETG just work. I have also printed Carbon Fiber PLA, wood PLA and glow-in the dark. I do think upgrading to a 0.6 nozzle improves with those types of filaments. Finally TPU works too. I have retired my other two printers and now just use this one.
hey frank what is your personnel opinion on the ender 3 v3 ke
Oh, and one other thing. I managed to get a lightly used K1 Max that came from the printer farm of a company that went out of business. For whatever reason, all of the K1 Max printers were lacking the camera and the lidar unit. Replacing the camera was simple. However, Creality refuses to sell me the lidar unit. Any idea how or where I can obtain one. Thanks Again.
How does this compare to a Kobra Max 2? I know the Kobra 2 has a 400x400x500 volume... so it might be more useful? I am in between these two, I know the K1 has better quality but I really want that extra volume!
Hey Frank. I've been working on my own MK85 Iron Man Helmet, and I'm on the electronics stage. I've been watching some of your old tutorials on the motorization of the MK85, and I noticed on Part 3, you mentioned that the chunky cords and battery back have to hang in your shirt using elastics. Is this necessary for the helmet to open itself? I want to be able to wear the helmet and make it open without anything hanging. Is this possible? Please let me know. Thank you!
How do you get your helmet tops so smooth out of the printer? My layer lines are bad!!
I asked about this printer in the big 3D Server lots of people said the Qidi Tech X-Max 3 is similar and maybe a little better, have you used one what are your thoughts I’m trying to get into 3D printing in the summer and make stuff like helmets and cosplay stuff
What is your deciding factor for your support styles? I noticed you used normal supports for the Spider-Man 2099 and trees for the other.
Time and material
Dude I’m having nothing but problems with my K1 max. I bought it hoping to improve my print business but am really dissatisfied with how it’ll get 80% of the way through a print, terminate itself due to error code 2001 and then just fail to restart itself. I’ve had pieces of the actual printer come flying off the back of it and it’s less than a week old and flat ass can’t get in contact with creality. Anyone looking to get this printer beware. It’s not as easy as all these people make it sound it’s still creality at the end of the day.
I print in my garage where it gets pretty cold in the winter, I plan to mainly print in abs, will this print that ok or do I need to look at a separate heater to heat the area. Already I would print up a filter for it since it's lacking one.
Any thoughts in the Qidi tech XMax 3?
I got the textured PEI bed but i have gone between switching between the smooth bed and the textured one.
The Max can be got for 700 shipped easy. I picked mine up for that recently. Keep a look out. It’s definitely not 900 anymore.
Do you think creality will put out a bigger build plate on the next one
not a k1 max but i have over 1100 hours on my K1 and havent even changed a nozzle yet. *fingers crossed*
What Slicer do you use? and perchance do you have a link to your k1 max config?
Is there a separate machine or something we can add to it to do multiple colors?
@frankly built
Got a ? for whomever may have best knowledge, I am repainting a warmachine helmet I painted over a year ago, I sanded it down quite a bit, 90% is sanded back down to the pla, some of the primer is still there, planning on trying to get the rest off, it's mostly the crevices like the chin and eye spots, would I be safe to try to prime and paint over those spots, planning g on also getting some good files from like harbor freight to try getting those crevices.
