Creality K1 Max 3D Printer Official, 600mm/s Max High-Speed 3D Printers Large Printing Size 300x300x300mm with Auto Leveling, Dual Cooling, Smart AI Function, 32mm³/s Flow Hotend and Out-of-The-Box

Needed this printer as I need to print some fairly large parts for a project so wanted high speed and 300x300mm. Also it’s going to be in an unheated and often dusty garage so an enclosure was fairly essential. Also required was higher temperature printing as PLA might be pushing it a bit with regard to structural components on a hot day in summer. First off, packaging is excellent and printer arrived with zero damage. There’s a printed quick start brochure which is adequate but YouTube videos are better. Assembly is basically: unbox, remove protective films of glass panels, fix magnet handle onto door, remove three transit screws from the print bed (big yellow arrows point to these), plug in and mount the screen, mount the supplied reel of filament on the spindle and push through into the print head and switch on. It’s really that simple. Once powered up set up is as easy as it gets. It painlessly connected to wifi and updated the firmware. Levelling etc is fully automated- you do nothing👏👍. It takes about 15 minutes to calibrate itself and sort itself out before you can print your own jobs. I also installed Creality print (slicing software) on a pc and it connected straight away to the printer over wifi. All in, was ready for 1st print well within an hour of opening the box. My first print was a tooling jig I designed myself in CAD. I found the slicing software intuitive and the auto placement and auto supports was fine. I used the default settings for the filament (supplied Creality hyper PLA) and sent the file to the printer and started it going remotely from the pc. Built in webcam shows you the print in progress and status with regard temperatures, time gone and time remaining. Software estimated just over 1.5 hours to print this tooling jig and it was pretty accurate. Printing is fast, very fast and the printer shakes about like some demented lunatic. That said, the print quality was plenty good enough for me and removal of the supports was easy. Oh, did I say this was the 1st time in my life I’ve ever used a 3D printer? It’s quite noisy with the fans and print head traverse motors screaming. And that’s with the door shut and (removable) lid on. In no way is it ear defender territory but you wouldn’t want it in the living room when you’re watching tv. It saves a Timelapse video of the print - remember to turn the interior light on and remove the protective film off the camera lens (not in the instructions). Adhesion. What can I say. I did precisely nothing with regard to prepping the print bed and all 4 prints I’ve done have stuck just fine. They’re also easy to remove by taking off the magnetic metal print bed and flexing it. Size wise, it’s a bit of a beast, you need about 600mm height and depth and about 500mm width space for it. It’s just about small and light enough to wrap your arms around it and carry it if you need to move it. Too early to say about quality and longevity, only done four prints on it so far. I haven’t bothered setting up a Creality cloud account nor putting the app on my phone. Summary. It works, set up is a breeze and you get good quality prints from the get go on default settings. And this is coming from a complete noob. A bit noisy but haven’t tried dialling down the speed to see if that quietens it. Ps. Gave tech support 3 star as I have to put something down even though I haven’t needed to use tech support.

Rarely gets to it's full speed, few fast printers do. But it definitely races along at a fair whack and makes a bed slinging ender 3 look and feel ancient. 8 hair prints on an ender 3 are down to around an hour. Stuff I would never print on an ender 3 is within reach on the k1 max. Good print quality, built in bed levelling via a lidar, inbuilt camera is OK, not stellar but usable. Filament runout sensor built in. It does timelapse on every print, though I haven't worked out how to delete them. Prints over local WiFi, so a bit octoprint like as you can send your files over WiFi instead of using a USB stick, though that USB option is still there if required. Using a USB stick you can also pull timelapse videos direct to the USB stick. Biggest downsides of the k1? No cura profiles at the time of purchase so stuck with creality slicer. Creality slicer works fine but is limited with only 3 profiles, basically high quality slow, medium still slow, and average quality fast. Options are intuitive in creality slicer. Considering it is basically cura they make things difficult when they shouldn't be. You can monitor prints over WiFi, but for me it can't be done from the program itself on the pc, I have to copy the ip address (there is a copy ip option on the print screen so they obviously planned for this issue) to then paste in a browser window which then works fine. If you use a trackball or mouse without a scroll wheel you are in for a miserable time adding custom supports as I cannot find an option to zoom in on the model without that wheel. The only thing to truly HATE with this printer? The phone app. It is full of ads. Ads on ads, ads everywhere. The app is basically an ad app with the printer options you want to access hidden in amongst all the ad misery. Simply put, do not use the phone app if you value your sanity.

Absolute rubbish, this is the second one I have bought as the first went back as it was faulty from the get go. I've had this nearly a month, gave it a while before deciding to return it. First week or so was fine then everything started to go wrong. Kept getting clogged after every print. Changed the extruder and nozzle didn't make a difference. Every print I did more than a few hours long something would go wrong, filament run out and it carries on printing. Then won't load filament have to take everything soart to unblock it. Then the tube keeps popping out of the cfs. Bought a high speed nozzle straight from creality, they don't even have the settings to change to use their so called fast printer, I got faster prints snd better quality from a stock nozzle. It's a nightmare to unclog, you need to inscreww 5 or 7 screws depending on what your taking off. The nozzle hosing is plastic so if your not carefull when changing yhe nozzle you can easily break it. The lost goes on and on. Creality's customer service is the WORSTE I have ever come across in my 59 years on this planet, when they do eventually get back to you they don't know what they are doing and if you send 1 of their printers back it takes upto 2 weeks for a refund DISGUSTING. I am that annoyed with the quality and service im going to make a YouTube review so everybody can see

Started my printing many years ago on an old wooden framed Anet A8(taught me everything) then I discovered the Creality Ender series and they served me well for a long time and then to this K1 Max, wow what a machine. Simple to set up, then tap a button and it levels itself and checks everything is good and away you go. It's been printing away every day since I purchased it 3 1/2 months ago and I've had 1 failed print. The thing is brilliant.

Great printer. Massive step up from something like an Ender 3, so much faster. It is quite loud though, you'd struggle to sleep near it. Loses a star only for the fan noise.

Ho acquistato il filamento PLA da 1,75 mm per la mia stampante 3D e sono estremamente soddisfatto del prodotto. Ecco perché merita una valutazione a 5 stelle: **Qualità del materiale:** Il filamento è di altissima qualità, con una consistenza uniforme che garantisce stampe precise e dettagliate. Non ho riscontrato problemi di intasamento o rottura, il che dimostra la sua eccellente fattura. **Facilità d'uso:** Il filamento si carica facilmente nella stampante e si adatta perfettamente alle impostazioni standard di stampa. È adatto sia per principianti che per esperti, rendendo il processo di stampa semplice e senza intoppi. **Affidabilità:** Ho utilizzato questo filamento per diverse stampe, e ogni volta il risultato è stato impeccabile. Le stampe sono lisce, prive di bolle e con un'ottima adesione tra i layer. **Colori vivaci:** Il filamento è disponibile in una vasta gamma di colori vivaci e brillanti, che mantengono la loro intensità anche dopo la stampa. Questo aggiunge un tocco di professionalità ai miei progetti. **Rapporto qualità-prezzo:** Considerando la qualità del prodotto, il prezzo è estremamente competitivo. Il filamento PLA offre un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, rendendolo una scelta ideale per chiunque cerchi risultati di alta qualità senza spendere una fortuna. **Eco-friendly:** Essendo PLA, è un materiale biodegradabile e più ecologico rispetto ad altri filamenti. Questo è un grande vantaggio per chi desidera ridurre l'impatto ambientale delle proprie stampe 3D. In sintesi, il filamento PLA da 1,75 mm è un prodotto eccellente che offre prestazioni di stampa di alta qualità, facilità d'uso e colori vibranti. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque utilizzi una stampante 3D.

La k1 max è una stampante 3d coreXY, raggiunge velocità impressionanti con un ottima qualità, ho realizzato circa cento stampe prima di scrivere la recensione, cosa mi piace del prodotto: -Velocità 300 mm/s -volume di stampa 300*300*300 mm -adesione del primo strato sempre perfetta -controllo in remoto di più stampanti da pc con visualizzazione di cosa si stampa tramite telecamera. Cosa non mi è piaciuto: -Sostituzione del filamento macchinosa. -il tubo in PTFE che porta il filamento é posto troppo vicino al pannello superiore, questo potrebbe portare a inceppare la stampa, ho risolto questo problema con questo progetto su thingverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6157655 Ricordatevi di impostare correttamente la temperatura di estrusione del filamento, di default é di 240 gradi per il PLA e mi ha fatto sciogliere il filamento dentro l’estrusore danneggiando gli ingranaggi del motore, l’assistenza mi ha immediatamente riparato il danno da me causato. Si deve usare per forza lo slicer della Creality Print, che oltre a fare da slicer gestisce in remoto anche le stampanti (ne ho due) sono soddisfatto di questo software che è molto simile al Cura, ma il mio preferito rimane il Prusa slicer. Per chi cerca un volume di stampa più grande della norma questa è la scelta giusta.

clearity K1で使っていますが 印刷速度と良い品質と良い欠点らしい欠点が全くありません。 特に糸引きなどは皆無で大変気に入りました。 このプリンターとは最強のコンビだと思います。

Zur Lieferung kam pünktlich und unbeschädigt an. Der Drucker ist jetzt mein 3ter FDM Drucker (CR-10 5S (2017) und Dremel 3D40 mein erster (2016)) und ich bin von der geschwindigkeit in kombination mit der Druckqualität begeistert und werde wenn er wieder im Angebot ist einen 2 ten holen, habe mir noch 2x die B Druckplatte geholt und da ich schon lange denn 3D lack verwende ist die haftung nun damit Mega die Standard Platte ist in Ordnung aber für ABS ist die B Platte mit Struktur zu empfehlen, was ich nicht gut finde war der Abstand zwischen dem Druckkopf mit Anbauten zur oberen Glasplatte da hat er hin und wieder gestreift aber das lässt sich mit einer erhöhung die man natürlich auch drucken kann wie ich es gemacht habe lösen. zweiter punkt schmieren ein 0815 Fett wird mitgeliefert aber obwohl ich es genutzt hatte hat er nach einer weile (1-2 Wochen) angefangen komische geräusche zu machen was aber mit ein paar tropfen öl an denn richtigen stellen wieder weg war. Der Drucker sollte eine W-LAN oder LAN Verbindung bekommen zumindest so lange das man ihn software technisch auf dem aktuellen stand hat, ich habe ihn sofort nach dem Aufbau upgedatet was er auch gleich mit der einrichtung fragt, mit der installierten sofware ohne update kann ich kein fazit geben. Trotz allem bin ich nur begeistert von dem Drucker.
