Love seeing you give a shoutout to Aurora! She's forgotten more about printers than most of that have been using them for years. She's amazing at her age and love her thoughts during her reviews.
Agreed Love Aroura!
Quick note - that Redhood Helmet is by Yosh Studios - I had it tagged wrong in the video www.patreon.com/yoshstudios
Also, there were instructions in the bag the door handle came in my unit.
I picked my K1 up 2 weeks ago. It's been running every day since. I'm extremely happy with the prints I've gotten so far.
Although you have probably ran into this already before very careful of the extender’s durability it’s very important you do give some rest and try to keep it clean best of luck
Congrats for the video.
Finally someone is talking about the Aurora Tech channel, which I have been following for a few years and which I have always rated among the best when it comes to technical reviews.
If you need to buy a printer, this is an absolutely must-see channel.
Underrated channel that I hope to see grow soon
You can configure Orca slicer to show the K1 page on the devices tab, yes! Check the IP on the printer itself, and add that on the "connection" part in the slicer. (The wifi symbol next to the edit printer drop down menu). It should show the K1 webpage, where you can import and start prints.
I love this new generation of printers. Finally somebody like Bambu came along and changed the playing field. Now Prusa and all the others have to keep up and change their super dated i3 bed-slinger design, FINALLY. I have been sooo waiting for this. I personally got the Flashforge Adventurer 5M. This machine was by far the cheapest and in my opinion it does not get enough love. It´s a fantastic machine for the price.
I am ecstatic too. 3d printer companies were getting fat and lazy and just pumping out the same thing over and over again. Bambu shot so far ahead of everyone else that it's not even funny. If someone is asking about 3D printing I tell them to just buy a Bambu. Any other printer that has something going for it only has 1 or 2 things that it can compete with Bambu, but Bambu has so much I just can't recommend anything but Bambu. I'm sure some day other companies will catch up, but that's not right now.
What a PANE to have happened on the stream. You’ve shown great humility through all this. One might say TEMPERED.
Seriously though I’m considering the K1 Max when I upgrade from the Ender 3 Pro this spring. Thanks for featuring it and giving the honest review. Love your channel, man!
bruhhhhhhh nice joke lol
I picked up a k1 a few weeks ago and rooted mine the next day. As soon as Creality allowed us to root it, the printer became something I wanted. I am quite happy with it now. The fact I can send prints wirelessly from Orca to the k1 is great. And once you have stock klipper running the experience is very much improved. The fact you can also fix the imput shaper issue is also great. I really wanted the k1 max but it was out of my budget.
What input shaper issue?
@AlexanderSmith600 it is regarding the fact stock creality on used the x axis values twice. Instead of using x and y values. It's been a few weeks now so I can't remember all the details mind you. 3dprintsos did a video on it as well. I would suggest you take a look. Maybe on the latest update from gillouz k1 github and the script solved that. I remember having to change my imput shaper values manually on one of the cfg files.
@@Andre_M_3D I found a video on what macros to apply and it seems to work.
First upgrades I did with mine,, hinges, a riser for the top to give the bowden tube clearance. Love this machine. makes my 2 CR-6's dinosaurs . Thanks for the video.
You need to start using “strong” option for tree supports and up the SUPPORT brim width (in the support section not the regular brim!) to 10-15 so the base of the tree support isnt tiny. This makes the support much less likely to snap if they get hit or something. I feel like it’s a must for helmets or big prints. If you try it you will see what i mean
I suspect I have the same issue with my Bambu P1S. Often go out to spaghetti monsters after a tree support has disappeared… Will give it a go and see.
I've had my K1 Max for a few weeks and it's running well but it is a bit fiddly. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for a beginners first printer. Like a lot of Creality printers, if you're comfortable tinkering, modding, rooting and making new slicer profiles, it can be a good printer.
But which large bed enclosed printers is better and better for beginners? Every printer out there have people saying it is bad.
The bamboo labs printer is the best for beginners from what I have been reading. @@northernlight8857
I got mine on Black Friday for $535, and that came with four spools of filament. I installed the Micro Swiss Flow Max hot end on it before printing. I also rooted the printer using Willow's guide and am using Orca Slicer, sending my files over the network. It's been great so far.
There was a brief sale on Amazon at that price, bundled with four spools of PLA.
i am debating on getting the micro swiss hotend but apparently there's different revisions of the K1 Max as Micro Swiss offers 2 versions of the hotend.
you can still upload files wirelessly and control some things of the printer wirelessly by writing the printer IP (found in the wifi settings tab on the printer) in your browser, without additional software.
This IP can also be used to connect it inside orcaslicer itself, but it does not allow you to directly transfer gcode. You have to export it from orcaslicer first, then hit the import button on your printer interface
Thank you for telling it like it is and not only sharing your successes but your fails as well, I really enjoy watching your channel! I've had my K1 Max for about a week now and can honestly say when it works, it works great. The auto leveling is huge coming from an Ender 3 Pro Plus, but one of the issues I keep coming across is the extruder filament retainer latch will randomly disengage leaving the printer running without actually extruding filament. I'ts pretty frustrating as you won't get a failed print notice. I really hope Creality creates a fix for this as it leaves you unshure of having success with this pretty expensive printer. All and all it's an amazing printer and I hope Crealiy continues to build on the reliability aspect!
Breaking the glass door and getting a replacement door + another K1 Max.... privileges are nice if you have them :D
Fantastic machine? It seems like half your large prints failed..?
Sponsored moment
@@tadhgd350You know sponsorships have to be disclossed, right? He can like the machine overall after having issues due to tuning or pre-updates.
He's all over the place with settings and stuff ...
I'm starting to think uncle Jessie is just for sale.
@@redkingrauri3769 you’re supposed to disclose but so many RUclipsrs don’t mention being sponsored
I've got the regular K1, I couldn't afford the Max. I've got a Neptune 4 Max for big stuff anyway. I wanted this for FAST stuff. Rooting the K1's is the secret (its easy!), setup KAMP, Octoeverywhere for your failure detection and remote access, then use Fluidd to upload files, etc. Orcaslicers default K1 profiles are bad, but I found a good one that brings the printer up to speed properly. It's a fantastic printer. Wish I could have got the Max though, but even on the big sales lately, it just wasn't in the budget. I'd take a K1 with root over a P1P unless you need colour. At least its a good printer if you got the Post-Beta models lol. First thing I did was print a side-mounted spool option. You are bang-on, mounting the spool at the rear was PURELY done for aesthetics because it looks tidy, but it's obnoxious to use that way. Mounted on the side it's totally fine.
Oh yeah, definitely get rid of that stock plate. Gotta have a classic gold texture PEI plate. Cheap and easy for the regular K1 at least, not sure about the Max though. Gotta be one somewhere in that size.
You are the only other person I have ever seen that has Vitiligo in their eyelashes like me! Thanks for the video, I ordered the K1 Max for my first printer. Have lots to learn.
Its a great machine. What I did is use Bambu Studio also for the K1 Max. I created a copy of the Bambu P1 profile, Bambu PLA Filament profile and Print profiles for 0.4mm 0.08 to 0.2 layer height. Exact copies and the prints come out amazing.
Have had a K1max from the initial launch. First print was a full-size Mando helmet and the finish was awesome. I personally have had no issues with the Creality software but I can see why others may have. The only issues I've had are filament related.
I will say though since printing some TPU spacers and manually adjusting the bed to within 0.15mm of level it's much better in adhesion for the first layer.
Got mine on sale with coupon code for just under $700. Clearing out space to set it up today.
Great job actually showing up how long these models take to print, it's always something I want to know on these kinds of videos
I use the creality slicer, haven’t had any problems so far.
I bought k1c and I’m looking at the max. What I found is buying the Creality dryer space pi and dryer box 2.0 made all my print issues go away. What was crazy I had brand new filament with 57% humidity. Got it down to 30 and it worked perfectly from there
I have had great luck with creality print! (Creality slicer is not for this printer). At one point I had issues when the printer rebooted and changed its IP address. I had to delete the printer and reboot it to clean something up (I don't know what) and I was able to re-add the printer. I got smart and gave it a static IP on my network and no troubles since!
Hello. Up your bed temperature to 60c and clean any glue stick on your heat bed, running warm water, I use washing detergent for dishes, and a sponge, then dry it using a fibre cloth . I clean the heat bed after every print and apply fresh glue stick. Cheers
We have several in our shop and we LOVE the K1 Max up to this point, not withstanding, one of the printers mother boards went out but Creality is working to resolve the issue. Still love the speed and quality overall though.
Sides are acrylic not glass just to clear things up for some people
Just unpacked it today. We also own two CR6SE's with extruder upgrade, and the speed of this thing is very impressive. CR6SE is so slow once you see the K1 MAX in action. On the "Normal" setting in Creality print, with gold silk PLA which I just took from a CR6SE, it prints something which would take 6 to 7 hours on the CR6SE in less then 1h30 on the K1 MAX. Just flabbergasted when we saw it move, and with the hyper PLA it's even faster.
So far no misses with the prints from the K1 MAX and tinmorry silk PLA. Als bought some official creality gold silk pla which is less saturated and more orange, but really curious.
Your Orca profile is the problem!
I printed the Dril Sword with CrealitySlicer stock settings, speed at 100mm/s to print 8 hours overnight and it looks and works perfect. Very very happy with my K1.
Nice! Will give that a go!
Your video really helped in deciding on what to purchase. Thanks!
Hey, try a power failure print. That doesn't work either. It causes a layer shift everytime. The head is just moving to fast and is so far out of whack when the printer comes back on. It doesn't do anything to re-home itself before resuming. On a core xy it would be pretty easy for them to drop the z by 20mm and then rehome the head then put everything back where it was.
Ouch yeah that definitely sucks. I was happy to see my filament runout/swap didn’t cause any significant issues
Just got mine a few days ago and its been great. Just as fast as my P1S and print quality has been great. Mine has all the first issues fix even has the fixed extruder and fixed hotend. Micro Swiss is sending me their upgrade hotend for a review and install video. Great vid as always sir! The Slicer has always worked for me all my prints have been sent this way. I printed a riser and if you could shared the top mount spool holder id like to feed direct and just bypass the sensor and ptfe tube.
I just got a K1 Max about a week ago and it's been printing great. Ran a bunch of Warhammer 40k Boltgun parts on it pretty flawlessly, but I'm running around 250-300mm/s using their hyper filament. I'll have to look into that top mod. It's indeed annoying having the spool in the back. The angle of the tube is also awkward and needs a bit better routing. Otherwise it was super easy to set up and I've been having minimal issues with Creality Slicer. It's nice being able to push files directly to the printer. I'm using the pad on my old upgraded Ender 5 Plus and others.
So far I've loved mine. I did have some bed adhesion issues, but once I set a z-offset on my printer profile in Creality Slicer, the adhesion has been fantastic and prints have been working really well. I think the inability to adjust the Z mid print when you can see your squish is too light is a missing option. However setting the offset in the gcode is an easy work around to dial it in.
If you continue to use the side mounted spool holder you may want to add some padding on the back. The vibrations of it hitting the side have a super small chance of breaking the glass as well.
It’s gorgeous!
Thanks homie
I have a K1 (not the MAX), and have had no issues using Creality Print. Coming from Cura it took a bit to figure out how to use Creality Print, but once I did all the prints have been great, considerably better than my Ender 3 series print. One thing I have found is that using a glue stick as Creality instructs is a good idea. One reason to use Creality Print is for the side fan control. I imagine that other slicers will eventually support the K1 series, but for now Creality Print works well. I added the optional AI camera, and it works well.
I agree the mobile app is full of stuff one doesn't need or want, but it is convenient to monitor a long print when I'm away from home. One feature missing it the LiDAR that's on the K1 MAX. Creality told me (via e-mail) that it's coming an to keep checking their store.
I had mine printing in 15 mins It's my first 3D printer so easy to use
That shocked face is hilarious
K1 max vs qidi x max 3?
Nice camera, the video is crisp and clear.
I joined the Patreons still can't find the K1 (max) profiles mentioned in the video and in the description?🤔
i need that juggernaut!
Just remove the ptfe from the filament sensor to the extruder and you will have n cloggs. You will just need to add a small part of ptfe at the entrance of the extruder and at the output of the filament sensor.
You can replace the door hinges with "270deg" 3D printed ones, so that the door can open fully along the left hand side - IF you want to, or somehow you lose control of it and it swings aside. And you can put some foam padding on the side so it can't hit the side hard. Thus you are not likely to able to do anything to break it, LOL.
The hinges are on Printables - BUT, they did not fit mine perfectly, plus they were a bit 'lousy' 3D Models, so I rebuilt the totally to fit and be "clean" prints.
Will you be sharing your improved files? I was just looking at the hinges on printables today and I agree that they didn't look great.
maybe make some side panels like you did with the kickstarter encloure?? Take the Glass off and place the plastic panels
I don't think I have seen any of your comment or review about the lidar sensor built into this machine. You probably own so many other machine that perhaps you can speak if the lidar sensor is useful in terms of printing qualtity.
You don't have to root to send files wirelessly via orca anymore. Creality issued a new fw update.
PressReset is why I bought my CR-10 as well.
I see on that Santa Skull you're using grid infill with silks. I've had problems with that combination several times on multiple printers, and have pretty much switched to gyroid infill for EVERYTHING now. Silks seem like they swell just a tiny bit, and can cause collisions with the nozzle where they criss-cross (it's a fairly well known problem on Bambu printers, and causes bent nozzles on those, or knocked over prints). That could very easily be the issue you've had with the strange failures you're getting with the K1 Max as well... With Gyroid, it doesn't ever criss-cross and you get the benefit of stronger infill with less percentages as well.
Seems like a ton of failures. I recently got the elegoo 4 Max and after some tinkering I’m glad I went with that machine over the K1 after seeing all the failures
Looks like extrusion issues I’ve read about. Re-routing the tube fixes that
I had the same problem with collapsing swords until I changed the minimum travel after retraction to 0 for them
Spool on the back is an instant no go imho. If i'm going to have go print parts for my brand new printer i might as well print a new printer. Especially at this price point.
Uncle Jessy, I'm SUUPER new to 3d printing, is there a place you suggest starting to learn how to make, create, or scan your own specific prints?
Thank you, love your channel
Way to start the video. When I tell you, my jaw dropped so fast lol.
Sometimes I have the feeling, 3D Printers are handled like Bethesda Games. The Community will and must have to correct and optimize the Printer by modding.
Does the LiDAR work like the Bambu Lab Micro LiDAR on the X1 carbon?
Good ScareCrow print! 3dCraftsman is awesome!
I want a k1, either a normal one or the max, I want to let the Ender 3 rest.
Don't retire but don't work 24/7
Hey at least the spool holder isn't on the bottom of the machine. 🤣🤣🤣
Why such a huge disparity between your experience and Joel's from 3dprintingnerd?
Great shout out to Aurora Tech they do a great job 👍
I have the normal K1, kinda wishin I sprung for the Max now 😔
I am a bit tired of my anycubic vyper and the cartesian style of 3d printers and I am interested in an enclosed core xy printer.
update: I picked one up last weekend as it was on sale and I am excited to be able to print larger models and masks.
curious what the best large volume printer is in terms of minimal clean up and reliability in prints?
I think you need a new bed plate brother
can the k1 max utilize a glass build bed?
Honestly think you should rethink recommending this printer. Most people won’t have your expertise with Orca slicer or saved tunings that make this printer actually work for you. Really believe that’s a huge problem.
Didn't the original K1 MAX have a hotend problem that they then fixed? Maybe that is the reason for the 2 separate printers...??
That was issue with the regular K1 that’s been fixed with new models. K1 max didn’t have a hot end problem
Funny my redhood helm failed also on my first print
I cant seem to find you settings for this printer on your Patreon.
I just picked one up, I got cyber Monday deal for 500 and couldn't pass it up. I really needed a new printer, now I have to figure out to use it, LOL... UJ do you have any tutorials on your patreon for using orca Slicer? Does orca work on Mac?
I haven’t had any bed adhesion issues, but no glue or foreign adhesive has been used on my bed. All I do is wipe it with isopropyl
im looking for my "ultimate printer". One that can do full helmets and preferably isnt a bed slinger. Also one of the fast printers. I have been eyeing this one alot recently and I might pull the trigger
I had issues with mine I had to return board went after a month
Im new and k1 max is my kinda first printer, i think its the extruder for some issues with filament being feed with certian spools of filament, idk. Im no engineer.
It's taken me about a month to get my K1 Max running consistently and with my own awesome settings in Cura. That would probably be the one down side. I would have rather seen Creality make great profiles for the current slicers instead of making Creatlity Print.
Had mine since October and has been printing very well but unfortunately it's now ruined due to a crazy big gloop of death covering almost the entire print head assembly after a bed adhesion failure and the nozzle continuing to extrude PLA everywhere. Creality has agreed to replace certain parts for free. Unfortunately there is no way to buy the printing head cover so I will have to print an "aftermarket" one as the original is ruined. Not having all the parts of a printer on sale is absolutely absurd. Also, there is very little info on how to change the entire print head assembly online, only how to swap out the extruder and hot end.
I almost wanted one, but I need something bigger, looks cool
Is the air filter you have in there stock or an addon you put in?
No hate, but you have to check your print settings :’D
Creality print gives me great prints but it likes to crash A LOT. I can make it crash reliably by duplicating 9 semi detailed models. The creality app is spammy AF. I don't think creality understand the American market. That crap might play well in Asian countries but Americans hate that shit. Creality, if you are reading this comment, seriously fix the apps. Listen to what Jessy is saying. Everything he says about this printer is my experience with my K1 Max except I haven't broken the door, yet.
I almost want to learn how to develop apps just so I can make a simpler one for it 🤣
Add printer, view printer, view print job, stop print job, pause, view camera feed. That’s all I need
There's a stl for replacing the hinges on the k1 max
wow, I just got the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max, it's my 1st 3D printer. I was super lucky in my choice compared to this hot mess. (thanks again for your reviews and files for the 4 Max!!!)
4 max got some issue at y axis, elegoo is working on linear rail y axis for next gen, be patient
If i was to play a drinking game everyone i heard the word "unfortunately" I would be rather messed up
🤣😂 “unfortunately” I don’t ever script my videos and it shows🙃🥃
I run a ender 3 max nei wifh s Direct drive snd a F e direct drive. Snd the f e gets 100mmto 120 a second tpu where the direct drive gets 100mm . Ive done software and i locked 200 mm printing with low accuracy
Guys, should i get the new Bambu Lab A1 (not the mini) or the Creality K1 (not the max)? They are the same price where I live. I just want the best value. I have an Ender 3 v2 right now, I like tinkering and upgrading but I do not like CONSTANTLY fixing it. What should I get? Thanks.
"Failed print, failed print, failed print... it's a great printer!!" - This guy
i bought one and the door was shattered and i been trying to get replacement for 2 weeks
honestly, my cardboard door worked pretty good for a while
put window tint on it and you will have more rigidity
Love your perspective and the props thrown out to Aurora Tech, they are crushing it!
They couldn't get me 1 that worked.. Finally gave up after 2 returns
I noticed there is a massive gap between the door and the frame on the left, unnecessary!, my X1C has a gap but knowhere near as large as the K1 Max
I bought one and STRONGLY advise against getting one: quality contron 8s non-existent, print quality is worse than my €250 printer, many failed prints, maintenace is a pain in the back and it's not noissy, the noise levels are infernal.
I am SOOOOOOOO behind Jesse when it came to the ad's and app issue. Creality - printers cost enough, do not monitize internet access to our printers!
how do you print multi color? on the reality k1 max?
Creality cloud looks alot like temu 😂😂😂
Sure seems like a lot of issues, especially for someone with as much experience as you.
