    I wish manufacturer's assembly and repair videos were this clear and informative. Great step-by-step instructions and clear well focused video with the best camera angles to convey the information. The Micro-Swiss hotend would be a great update for the crazy low Black Friday pricing that Creality is currently running on the K1 Max.

    Your tutorial sections are really great! The attention to detail you put into each step (what size screws, how to remove a connector or how to remove the shroud, etc...) is really great. It's nice when people don't just assume "oh that's obvious I don't need to mention it".

      He forgot to mention 1 crucial detail.
      Before removing the connector of the heater and thermistor from the backside, it is a GREAT idea to pry off the glue securing the connectors.
      As the connectors are less securely attached to the metal spikes soldered to the board, than how strong the glue can hold.em togehter, so you can yank the plastic socket clean off the board if you are not careful.
      P.s.: On the upside the metal spikes ofc. still remain solderex to the board, so you can replug the socket, it will just look damn ugly, and be damn scary.

      I dont know that this glue can be removed. When hot glue is used some IPA will cause it to come right off but the glue use in this case is not that.
      Doing the back and fourth wiggle with the connector was not too difficult to get it to break the seal in the glue. With how small the connectors are I almost feel it could be as easy to damage trying to remove the glue with something sharp.

      I appreciate it. I really try to cover as much as I can to prevent accidents from happening. Of course some will think it is too much and there will be some items I maybe miss but I definitely consider as many aspects as possible when putting something like this together.

    Nice content as always. A good tool to have for any 3d printer electronics disassembly is a pair of tweezers called dressing or thumb forceps. I've also seen them listed as rat tooth tweezers. They look like a regular pair of tweezers except they have hooked teeth on the tips, one tooth on one side and two teeth on the other. They make grabbing and pulling on those small JST connectors a lot easier and safer. They're less than $7 on AMZ.

  • @rawdog7220
    @rawdog7220 8 месяцев назад +2

    Great guide, but you need to put some thermal paste on that copper insert before installing it into the heatsink. Without thermal paste there will be a huge loss of efficiency in the heat transfer between fhe hot end and the heatsink. This will lead to poor cooling control, and the risk of melting fillament before it enters the heating zone of the hot end. This can cause retraction issues, especially in softer fillaments.

    I Purchased via Amazon a new K1 Max on 22nd July 2024 several prints later (today Aug 1st) it leaked and backed up actually breaking wires and sending a fault. Called Creality service and Amazon received kindly (Run-Around) I Saw your video re Micro Swiss and have used them to replace my old CR6-SE hot-end. So I order one after watching your video this evening. "HOWEVER" I've noticed that the back of the heat sink on my K1 Max, does-not have an Allen screw anywhere. Also, the two vertical screws that hold the heater core in place will not budge. Do you know if Creality Changed the hot end assembly from your unit or is mine an old stock K1 Max via Amazon? If I could send you photos of the rear of the heatsink I would. Thanks, Bob Griffith Winter Haven, FL

    I planned on upgrading at the start, so I have the hotend and an extra 0.6 nozzle. I did ask microswiss if they would have hardened steel nozzles and was told eventually they would have other materials. Right now it is a moot point for me as I await some response from Creality support for a mostly dead K1 Max after it updated itself. Turns on, and that is all. I hope they can provide me with a replacement before the short return window closes. Looks like part of the mainboard died as it will not flash anything and the Ngenix Creality firmware recovery does not do anything.

    • @IanTheWoodchuck
      @IanTheWoodchuck Месяц назад

      I tried running with the stock hotend for a while. The clogging and leaking I had made a huge mess. Because the nozzle and heatbreak are machined as a single piece, meaning you don't need to worry about heat expansion because there's no gap for filament to leak out of. That's what they mean by "cold nozzle swaps." When you pull the nozzle, the ENTIRE nozzle/heatbreak comes out at once. The input opening goes all the way up and butts up against the output of the extrusion gears, so it's a single channel all the way down to the nozzle aperture.

      I thought I had stripped screws when I replaced my original hot end due to breaking the wires trying to remove a filament blob that coated the outside of the hot end. It turns out that some of the material had coated the screws above the hot end and was locking the screws from turning.
      I saw a suggestion to try holding the tip of a soldering iron to the head of the allen screw for 2.5 minutes then quickly remove the screw with your allen wrench before it has a chance to cool down. That worked easily for me.

    • @GregOseid

      Another suggestion is using a 1/16" ball end wrench or hex key in the stripped out hole. It is slightly larger than the 1.5mm hex key. The ball end works a little better since it is oversized the taper helps it fit if the 1/16 hex key wont quite fit.

    I hate to see every 3D printer manufacturer making their own high flow nozzles for the new faster Klipper printers. Proprietary nozzle designs are not in the customer's best interest. Even worse, many companies offer only a brass 0.4 mm nozzle, even on their larger Max machines where a 0.6 mm would be better for most applications. If the Micro-Swiss hotend allows use of a standard set of quality Micro-Swiss nozzles, that would be worth the upgrade.

      The standard nozzle with the kit is plated brass. There are more exotic nozzles like the CM2 (Nickel-plated Copper Chromium Zirconium with M2 hardened tool steel tip) and the Diamondback (Polycrystalline Diamond Tip). The CM2's cost is pretty reasonable at about $24/each and CAN do carbon but will wear much faster than the Diamondback ($125/each). I'd stick with the CM2 if I only tinkered with carbon, but if you do any kind of consistent carbon printing, you'll need to pop for a PCD-tipped nozzle, no matter what printer you have.

      Micro Swiss has been making quality upgrades for printers for many many years. Creality launched this printer and already had 2-3 extruder revisions and a hotend revision due to issues.
      If you want to chance it with the stock hardware thats fine. You may have no issues. Some have experienced leaks and clogs already. $65 for a hotend is mid ranged price wise and less than most others.
      If you are happy with the stock hotend thats great, but many would rather not chance it. The design on this setup removes the possibility of a heatbreak leak.

From our point of view, it’s just a part, that replaces another working part for no tangible reason. I‘m not mad at you for making a profit (in fact I support that!), I just feel like most 3d printing related channels are evolving into shills, because it pays best.

In some cases I look hard to find things to nitpick at because perfect does exist. This is not a review, it is an install video intended to help someone who purchases this hotend. Because of all this shill calling I am seeing more and more creators lean into it. In a sense I can understand it. If you are going to do your best to be fair and cover both sides but still be called a shill there is no winning. I have gotten this far by doing what I feel is right and trying to be as transparent as possible. The goal has always been to help others be it a tutorial or just sharing my experience.

      Cold nozzle swap. Worth it for that alone.

      ​@@ModBotArmy Some people just don't understand the mod life! I guess he also hasn't had nightmares occur with hot swapping 😅 I personally thank you for this video, sponsored or not they trusted you with their product, you need to make money and we need good Intel from a reliable source. I don't get why everyone thinks everyone should just do these things for free but here we are! Thank you, and please any mods you test out that make the k1/k1 max let us know!

      The flow is just a bonus. The removal of leaks and ease of changing is what you are paying for. It’s a higher quality hotend.

    Creality printers are disappointing, they just need lots of tweaks and upgrades, and this really sucks! I own Prusa MK3 and Bambu Lab A10 and the K1 Max is the one that asks constantly for my attention. This is just disappointing! Not to mention the money you constantly spend to upgrade

    Copper(!) thermal adaptor combined with aluminium (!) heatsink makes the worst possible galvanic pair which leads to further corrosion and decrease of effectiveness of heat transferring. Nice design choice, dumnuts.

      My understanding would be that this only applies when current is present and would be accelerated in the presence of moisture. There would be no need for a zinc separation barrier between the dissimilar metals under normal heat cycling, as this application does not have any voltage passing through it. The only issues that might arise would be from the difference in expansion rates, but that seems unlikely with the miniscule rates of size/temp/cooling for this application.
