#3dprinting #3dprinted #review - Zábava
My TechED teacher bought a original K1 and it worked fine for about a week. The amount of time I've been in that TechED room trying to figure out what was wrong with the printer is crazy.
Frank can i call you frank anyways i just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you I'm 14 and I'm struggling with a deep depression but your videos got me into 3d printing which was bean almost better then therapy for me so i just want to thank you even if you didn't know for saving me.
You’re awesome. I like you. Never stop, never stopping.
@@JonLaRue thanks
my printer has ben broken for almost a year tho
@@Willeumleeper no way dude, I'm 14 and just fixed my ender 3 that's crazy
i got my k1c about a month ago and been printing non stop, with PLA, Silk and CF. This is my very first 3d printer and as a complete noob to 3d printing the k1c hasn't failed me at all besides the usual user fault issues, Its been a very good experience coming into the 3d printing world because of the k1c. I definitely recommend to anyone new that wants to get into 3d printing.
Same experiance for me. Out of the box it works fine, Usually its just download the STL, set the right filament in Orca slicer or the new Creality Print 5 and print.
You helped me make my decision! I’ve been debating between the two of these for a while. Thank you!
Hey Frank, you’ve absolutely inspired me as someone about to start life in a new stage going on to University- watching your content gave me something to hang onto through some stressful experiences and gave me a new hobby which I’ve begun to love so much. Great stuff man, appreciate you so much
I love my k1 and have updated the extruder, hot end, added camera and did a few things like level bed and rooted it. It prints like a dream and paired with Orca it is a beast. I never really cared for creality before and have 3 other printers from other brands. But now my k1 is my go to printer. I have over 1000 hours on it and up to now its been great. We'll except for the exploding door. Lol. But creality was great and is sending me a replacement door and dealing with them was easy. I was surprised. Love these kinds of videos.
my k1 has ringing and vfc. I have replaced the hot end with the micro swiss.
And one thing that you did not mention is that the k1c has a different set of smaller pulleys and smaller motors. This was done to improve the VFA issue the k1 has. Cheers take care
I got the K1 as my very first 3D printer after they fixed the issues for $349 on Black Friday. I upgraded my hotend to a Micro Swiss FlowTech and added the AI camera. I’ve had issues with under extrusion at 1 corner, but I just lower retraction and increase the extra prime amount. I’ve also noticed that the print quality is affected by the stability of the surface it’s sitting on. I wasted time changing values and running calibration tests when all I had to do was sit it on something sturdy. I also reduced the travel and jerk speeds a bit since they seemed unnecessarily high.
I'm a newbie to world of 3D printing. I've been reading and watching as much CZcams videos to determine which printer I want to purchase. I'm leaning toward a enclose system to keep the smell down to a minimum and not to worry about temperature control for the open systems. My question is "Would you recommend replacing the nozzle on the Creality K1 or the Creality K1 Max by Microswiss FlowTech Hot end? " So not having to heat the nozzle up to remove it and then replace the nozzle, plus torque it in place so not to leak. That way you can change the nozzle when it is cold. Looks like Microswiss FlowTech Hot end makes it for other manufacturers also.
Another one to add to the collection.
Hey frank....very enlightening piece....should do one for the Bambu PS1/X1C (if you have those machines)....
I love your video!
Bro I wish I could meet the man, he is a legend in the 3d printing community
great video, would you ever consider doing a review on the new sv08 from sovol once they get shipped out? looks like a pretty cheap massive core xy printer
1:26 I understood that reference.
Uncle jesse is never going to live that down lol
Frank are you looking forward to the K2 Plus + CFS? Looks like XL format printer and mutlicolour might be getting a lot more afforable and coming before bambu release their large format printer. Hoping you do a video on those when they release!
I was looking at a K1Max as my next printer. But got wind of the K2 Plus coming. So I am waiting to see how that one performs.
Stay awesome Frank
Hello Frankly built. It’s a great video but I still have a question. Which iron man helmet file did you have in this video. The one from Akira yunning or are you using different files? The files I downloaded are never compatible with motorization wich is very frustrating. Anyways great video like always very informative and nice to watch
The Akira one
Hey Frank, i have printed an ironman helmet in 110% scale and was wondering if that meant that i should scale the motorization kit to 110%? Since the one part that holds the servo needs to be the right size and what about the holes?
Hey Frank I just got a k1 max yesterday I was wondering on what your thoughts on putting it on kilpper is if it’s really needed or not ? Awesome video as always 👍👍
you don't, it already runs on klipper from the factory. all you need to do is root it.
Just root it and do a proper inputshaper. Out of the box it does inputshaper in the x axis and uses that value for the y axis also. I have a k1 since december and i already had the newer extruder in it. Only added the webcam and rooted. After rooting i run the guilloz script to get the input shaper good. The printer is great. Only thinking of changing the pulleys for smaller ones to get rid of the vfa. Already have them just need to put them in the printer 😁
any chance you can discuss different media for printing? I've been having significant issues with the Sunlu PLA+ White. Even after performing tests to determine temperature and speed.
Frank, question specific to these faster FDM printers. I saw that Creality came out with their new hyper PLA. Do you actually need a different kind of PLA for the faster printing printers?
You should 3D print Firestorm. It’s a shardblade from The Stormlight Archives
Thank you I was regretting buying the K1 the very next week the K1C came out. I've already bought the camera, replaced the extruder and installed a harden nozzel. SO beside the unicorn nozzel I guess I have a K1C
My K1C is my dragon printer. I mostly print silk dragons on it.
Hi frank, i am looking to get into 3d printing and i am not sure what types of filaments i will print for the most part but i wanted to get a machine that can print many types so i wont have to upgrade in the future. I have seen the creality k1, k1c and k1 max as being good options however people also say that bamboo lab printers like the p1p, p1s and x1 carbon are better and more intuitive for beginners. I was wondering if you could recommend a printer for someone looking to get into 3d printing that is versatile enough to print tough filaments, comes enclosed or has an option to be enclosed such as the upgrade kit for the p1p, and is easy enough for a beginner to use. Also a plus if the machine has a print bed that is standard and or can be upgraded to use multiple filaments. Thanks!
Hey Frank! Tell me please how you care about the safety of your garage? Is there any fire system there or something like that? What is the chance of printer ignition? Have you come across this?
K1 Carbon, do you say this off the cuff or write it down, either way that joke got a solid chuckle outta me. Thanks for the info and breakdowns per usual Frank, always look forward to these videos
Hey frank, can you make a katana for inosuke ccddi know you havent made a sword in quiet a while for youtube but i really liked those videos.
Actually im trying to make my first prop but i have isues to find the right files to print the katana of inosuke and idkhow to make a sheat so im figuring that out rn so im trying to find some tutorials on youtube so i just wanted to ask you if you can make one bc you make one of the best tutorials on youtube keep up the good work :)
Only grip i have with the k1 is the hot end aready have had to replace it twice in 6 months and the same this for the ender 3ve ke
I got two K1 used from a Facebook marketplace seller and one has been great and the other a mess. The seller hadnt tested that one for months and left ABS in the nozzle for all that time. Now its causing issues with the prints because something is happening with the new nozzle and hot end after i had to replace the nozzle and small tube because of the clog.
The problem with the K1 or K1 C is the Creality idea that you must only buy their own K1 type Nozzles and that are pricey! You can't buy any nozzle of that type for them only theirs.
I stick to my Qidi X-Plus-3 thanks, it has a bigger build size and a better system than the K1 or K1 C. And the newer Q1 Pro by Qidi blows any other Core XY out of the water.
Even better than my Qidi X-Plus-3. any company who makes 3D printers should not only open source the Klipper system their use ( Which Creality did not do on the K1 series )
until the users moaned at them for not doing it per the Klipper terms and conditions said,
But any company doing the printers should also make the volcano type nozzles used be ones we all can buy from anyone not just them?
And I agree that Elegoo's mega sized Orange Storm Giga needs a smaller version around say a 300 square one & 500 square print area core xy as we can't all get the giga one due to the cost?
My k1 is okay, I bought in dec and got the original extruder and hot end. I put a 3rd gen extruder and micro swiss hot end. I still get ringing and vfa. So if the k1c has fix that its worth the extra money. Remember the k1c has replaced the pullies
It feels like he’s channeling Emily 😂
Great Video! I am planning to buy a Creality K1 MAX as my first printer, but I have read that it has a lot of complaints. Do you think it is a good 3D printer?
I love it
is the elegoo nepune 3 pro good
can i ask sir frank where did you get your file in devil fruit gomu-gomu?
and what is the filamen did u use thank u in advanced
How do these compare to say a Bambu P1S for overall use and quality?
I think the main complaint was vfa on the K1...can you print out a test on both to prove what came out?
Love u Frank
What printer is good for printing lego?
Are you still happy with how the Neptune 3 Max is working for you?
Unfortunately, I have been really disappointed with my K1 Max. Mine gave up on me after about a month of printing pretty simple things. Still haven’t been able to get it fixed and Creality hasn’t responded to anything I’ve sent. On the other hand, my Bambu Lab P1S I got to replace it has been phenomenal and it has handled much more complicated prints with ease.
Great video, miss the outro... but CZcams knows best. (sigh)
So is this gonna be the new ender 3 where creality just keeps releasing new versions with slight changes?
So there's the K1, K1C, and K1 Max? I didn't realize there were three. I thought it was just the K1 & K1 Max.
MY IDOL UPLOADED!!
Your table is wobbly ;-)
What you should do to see if it is the same printer is to make the gcode for the k1 and put it into the k1c.
I did. It works fine
I just bought a k1 😅
1:28 I just broke the door glass,so you gays need to be careful when the door are open 😢
For the small difference in price I'll just get a K1C.
Can you share with us your slicer
Can you make the symbiot spider man helmet from do3d please
hey dude, thanks for the review! the real question is though, k1 or k1 max? haha!
K2 Plus.
Hey Frank I would love it if you would mabey do some (Lord Of The Rings) prints. All I'm asking is that you think about it. Thank you for your time. And God bless you and your family.
... or get a Qidi printer, if exterior design isnt a major factor
for a £1000 budget, would you reccomend the creality k1c, max or just go all out for the bambu lab?
Bambu p1s
@@FranklyBuilt thank you!
@@FranklyBuilt I'm REALLY struggling with the same question. Could you please elaborate a little on why?
Now Creality needs to make this printer with a 325mm x 325mm x 350mm build.
K2 Plus coming soon, 350x350x350 with multicolor system
@@leeball4 Oh! Sweet!
@@leeball4 Thanks I have never seen a mention of the size. Custom dictates that a Max model is bigger than a Plus model. I feel that Creality is just messing with us now.
Thats pretty much the same as X1C and P1S (yes, i do know about the better screen and the lidar but stay with me): you wanna print carbon fiber? Get the p1s and spend an extra 40 bucks for the all hardened steel extruder
Agreed
Glad to hear 🦾
I have the K1C in Shopping cart lol
What did you model in at 7:36
TinkerCAD
You should do a video on the basics on 3d modeling
the bed are updated on the k1c..should be better?
Same bed
@@FranklyBuilt but the whole design is diffrent..why is that? looks more like the bambu lab..just looks?
Wait, on the music or the content?
Is the k1 max better than the k1C
It’s the same but bigger
nice
Next try. Pleaassseeee we need a ironman Video 😢
K2c?
K1 max or elegoo max 3
They are very different machines, but if you go with Elegoo then get the Neptune 4 Max.
Have you had any issues with ghosting on any of the K1 series printers? My K1 Max has crazy ghosting problems and Creality customer service has been as useful as a poo flavored lollypop...
I've adjusted belt tension, cleaned the gantries, and rooted the printer and still get bad ghosting...
Root klipper and you will get better input shaping.
@@petercallison5765 I did that and still get really bad ghosting... it's like my input shaper just doesn't work in one axis
its got different sized motor pulleys
I just bought a k1 max from amazon last week and I got a v1 extruder..... Just found out that is bad
Contact Creality and they may send a new, particularly if you say it isn't printing properly.
Neither, wait until the K1 Neo Plus Pro is released. Creality's standard operating system is to release junk for 3 to 5 iterations of the product line.
You’re not wrong lol
In my experience they just release junk for all iterations making small changes but never fixing the printer completely. Then a year later the new iterations start coming out.
@@FranklyBuilt It creates plenty of work for reviewers.
Can’t you just put a better nozzle on the K1 max and get all the benefits of the K1c?
Yep
Get the max, next question.
Not really? Lol it’s almost triple the price at times lol
@@FranklyBuilt Wow really for me there's only a few hundred difference, which is alot of money to be sure but alot more build volume.
I'm biased ofc cause I want either the bigger volume, or the AMS from the P1.
@@FranklyBuilt Unlike Bambu you can get very big discounts on Creality printers.
every like is one simpsons episode i watch
noice
Second
Neither. They are made by Creality and therefore are the lowest quality one can possibly buy.
Yeah, probably should just buy a PRUSA ... lol
Yeah that’s not true anymore. At all lol
I mean yeah if you want to waste money
@@FranklyBuilt do your have one? i do and it blows the socks off anything my maker friends have. While they are tinkering to no end doing upgrades and constantly tweaking I just send prints to teh machine & it cranks them out. And the 5 head machine is miles above other versions of 'multi filament' machines. Filament changes take less than 3 secs with no waste filament. And the 360 x 360 x 360 print volume is a cosplayer's dream. I get that most can't afford this machine but they really a cut above the rest. It's l;Ike saying a Honda and a BMW are both cars so it doesn't matter which one you get but if you've ever driven or owned a BMW you understand there is a difference. Ever notice how many YTers who have print frames are running PRUSAs. Even Adam Savage is running PRUSAs -- there's a hint in there somewhere ... lol
@@astrophysicistguy you clearly don't understand the target audience of this channel or the purpose of Frank's videos. He knows PRUSA's are great, they are just overkill or way too expensive for the size and things people who watch his videos want to print
