K1 3D Printer 4.3 Color LCD Screen; Automatic Leveling; Flexible Build Bed; 220 x 220 x 250mm Print Size
4.3 Color LCD Screen
Automatic Leveling
Flexible Build Bed
220 x 220 x 250mm Print Size
Crazy 600mm/s. K1 is 12 times faster than a regular FDM 3D printer. Now, sit tight for the thrill of breathtaking speed. K1, with its stunning speed, will kindle people's zeal for 3D printing. A fast speed cuts printing time and raises efficiency.It uses less energy for the same output, thus more eco-friendly. Most importantly, it focuses on the pure joy of creation. With 20000mm/s² acceleration, K1 ramps up to 600mm/s in only 0.03s, delivering full speed in 90% of the printing time. K1 combines the nimble Core XY with a 190g lightweight printhead for less motion inertia. Agile and swift. New ceramic heater, encircling the entire hotend. It heats to 200? in 40s and melts the filament instantly. Dual-gear direct extruder, delivering 50N strong extrusion force. Hotend with a titanium alloy heatbreak and a copper alloy nozzle, working with flying colors in up to 300?. A large fan on the printhead with air ducts cools the model directly. An 18W auxiliary fan in the build chamber enhances the cooling effect, too. The model hardens before any stringing and warping could happen. It allows support-free bridges and overhangs. The latest self-developed slicer Creality Print 4.3 includes rich presets, and streamlines the slicing process into 3 simple stages. Even better, it bolsters high-speed printing with variable line width, arc path, and so on. K1 adopts the smart Creality OS. It features a straightforward UI, and syncs data and commands with PC, phone, Cloud, and add-on modules. The snappy dual-core 1.2GHz CPU powers high-speed printing with ease. The 8G ROM stores up to 400 model files and enables quick writing and reading.

I ended up with a P1S this week as an upgrade from my ender 3 S1 (highly recommend the upgrade), but unless these YouTube videos are recent, creality has addressed a majority of the issues the K1 series had at launch.

If someone can't afford to get into the bambu line, or enjoys the process of fine tuning a pinter, these don't seem like the worst investment anymore.

I just grabbed a Pi 3b+ and added Kilpper to my Anycubic Vyper V2. About to also add it to my heavily modded Sovol 01. Also moved those into the same room with my four resin printers and now I have a proper print farm. Smilie .................................to calibrate Frown

I have a K1 and it also "just works". I have no doubt that the Bambu Labs are better based on what I have read and seen, but the K1 is definitely a good printer and the price is right.

I picked up mine for $350 after price matching at Best Buy to the last Microcenter sale. For $350 (or even $400), the K1 is a good machine.

If you are interested in the AMS system for multi-color printing or just automatic filament changes then the Bambu is the only choice.

So tempting to grab this one. Was deciding between Ender 3 V3 KE and CR-10 SE.

I did like you, and I'm considering buying another one, even at $400. I never printed anything before, and k1 works great out of the box. haven't used p1s, but why? when I can have two k1's for the price.

I think the current microcenter SD is the anycubic kobra 2 max for $399. Best in class large format. Fwiw microcenter had the k1 for $350 a couple months ago.

Most of those YouTube videos are old. Creality has fixed the issues outlined in the videos. I recently purchased a K1 to pair with my P1P and besides the slightly larger print bed there isn't a difference in adhesion, extruder elements or print quality. Save money and get the K1.
