My whole temp tower looks bad everywhere
I got my K1 2 weeks ago. It's my 2nd printer - my first was a gift 6 months ago. This video is exactly what I need right now. Very helpful. Thank you.
Absolutely loved it! Creality’s directions are written in the worst chi-english I ever tried to interpret. I’m no longer pulling my hair out while bouncing my head off the desk thanks to you!!! Thanks!
I believe I can read chines english better because my english isn't very good. Thank you for following me. I'm working on new videos focused on Creality Print 5, it's coming soon.
I’ve learned more from this video than anything else I’ve found on RUclips. Thank you
ME TOO! SO GOOD!!
Moi également
I'm blown away at how well the AI translation did. I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell by the audio.
Also, very helpful video. My K1 Max has been printing pretty good for a couple months now but I need to go in and fine tune it.
The fact this is ai translated is pretty awesome, I couldn't really tell unless you held an object close to your face! Incredible.
As a 3D modeller and sculptor, I'm really looking forward for my k1 max to arrive. Just scrubbing up on my knowledge so that I can get straight to it as soon as it arrives!
Thanks for the effort and thought you put in to producing your content. Definitely earned a new subscriber.
I want to say thank you to you digital inventor because you're clear and concise explanations and resolutions are exactly where I have been stuck. Can't wait to get into the office tomorrow and do everything I learned.
Mr. Inventor I would like to thank you for your video, which has been the most informative. I am new to 3D printing, It is hard to find information on the calibration without having the feel am being sold something. It is knowledge imparted here not propaganda. I wish there were more content creators like you. Happy Holidays.
I am happy to say you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much Rebecca! I'll keep trying to produce valuable and impartial content while maintaining channel independence
Excellent video, I have never seen a calibration video on RUclips so comprehensive on any 3D printing machines. It restores my confidence about the K1 Max machine I intended to purchase but everyone in the markets tend to rank the Bambu Lab over the Creality machines.
Yeah, that's the million question. It depends on your country and the kind of job you want to do with your printer. Bambu is more like a plug'n play'n done. Creality K1/K1 Max offers more possibilities for customizations, not exactly like an Ender, but it is still more than a Bambu Printer. The cost of a printer and replacement parts depends on your country, while in the USA, you pay $1.5k for an X1; in Brazil, it has been sold for $3.5k because of taxes, which is also the reality in other countries.
This was absolutely amazing and very helpful. Your knowledge was very helpful for me to really dial in my settings as they needed to be. Thank you sir!
Thankyou Sir! One of my K1Cs has been giving me a ton of trouble. I've had both of them for a while now and I didn't know I could even do this.
Tuned mine recently. I was impressed initially, then I tuned it. Got the thing crushing 24/7
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I have been searching on how to do this, please keep making videos, you are an amazing teacher!
I use K1 MAX from more than a month, and the machine is very impressive. In the beginning it wasn't, but after some tweaking I was very happy. You really need to put it on a stable surface, and set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz. The unique of this printer is that from the start is OK, but there is a plenty to upgrade and make it great.
set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz
how?
@@antisocial77
use the "Creality belt tension meter" found in "Printables" You tube is deleting my comments when i post the link, and this is very annoying.
@@antisocial77 get an Oscilloscope to measure it. You don't need the actual equipment, there's phone apps for it to use with your microphone. You put it up near the belt and you do a bit of a pull flick of tension on the belt to see what frequency you get. Then you tighten or loosen it at the gear corners until the tension frequency matches the range.
Just to be clear, I didn't test it, just sharing the link www.printables.com/model/523382-creality-k1-belt-tension-meter
He appears as an asparagus. He is a cooked asparagus. Hahaha.
Awesome video. The translation tech is awesome. Hilarious how it anthropomorphizes the filament and prints though.
Thank you for this video. As a beginner it has helped me greatly in the setup of different materials to get quality prints.
One of the most informatives instructional video i've seen in a while. Thank you for your effort.
Some valuable advice in this video.
Interested to hear more.

Thank you so much!
Just bought the K1 in addition to my SLA Printer.
Now i know what to calibrate and what the values mean!
Keep on with the good Quality work.🍪
Thank you for this video, and for having it done in English! I am so new to 3D Printing that I am still doing research on which printer to purchase for my first one. I've pretty much settled on the K1 Max, and this video really gives me some good information on how to tune it in after I get it. Again, thank you!
Spend the extra $200 and get a bambu x1c.
@@MrPanaramuh Can it print so fast as K1 Max?
@@jakdrosa Faster. Has carbon rods. so gantry weight is limited. We've printed up to 600mm/s outer walls with no detriment to quality, granted it was simple walls, but still. K1 max says 600mm/s as well but...we all know how printer companies glorify their machines.
Very helpful. This is the best information that I've seen for calibration. You explained everything very well.
Thank you 🤗
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I have been looking for something specific to these printers for over a month now. Can't wait to put this to use when my replacement parts for my broken Max come in. I would expect that the new extruder should resolve a lot of the issues. Jams like that are not supposed to happen on printers like these. These are not meant to be like Ender 3's, they are far too expensive for that. I get my own parts tomorrow and I hope its resolved for me as well.
Thank you for your time in making these videos and tutorials for everyone. The way you are explaining everyone is great, especially for those of us who are new to 3D Printing.👍👍
I must say thank you very much, I am a newbie to 3d printing world and had so many issues with my ender 3 ve 3 ke that I wanted to give up but got a Creality K1 Max and after watching this video and setting up our filaments it has changed my mind thank you 🎉
I just got my K1 yesturday. My first core xy and im astonashed by the 16 min benchy it comes with on the Usb. On my bedslingers I'm used to a 45+ min benchy on a fast profile and 60min + on my slower more quailty centerd profiles....and the K1 spits out a Perfect benchy in 16m:37s. So I got it rooted and installed Klipper, KAMP turned the Input sharpes and PA and am ready to squeeze the best I can outta this beast. So thanks for this video. Just what I needed
Amazing information! I am mind blown by how much I learned from a Brazilian spoken video! You did a great job!
Earned a sub for sure! :D It will help me very much, I am about to start a fine tuning series with the k1c and v3!
WOW! THat's awesome! I'm from Brazil and watch you in portuguese. Congratulations for sharing your knowledge in english also.
Excellent way to create a baseline standard for each user case. Very informative. I’m just a beginner and I’ve learned a lot . Thank you.
After the new orca slicer update, I ditched all my tuning settings and went to the standard presets. They're working flawlessly for me.
Dear Digital Inventor, you are a professional! Sharing your experience, and ability to to share long videos and keep the concentration of your audience is a trait to be utelised more by you - remarkable.
Please be so kind as to advise on reasons for PETG to just break while just sitting in the printer, not busy printing! This happened a few times with the same reel of filament! This PETG filament also broke off while printing, well some time within a print job. It was a newly purchased reel of 1Kg PETG grey coloured filament, that we opened just three days ago. The reel of PETG was supplied in a sealed plastic bag, complete with diseccant in the bag. We also experienced a lot of stringing with this PETG filament. Regards
Hi Lada, thank you for your kind words. Every filament brand has a different chemical composition and demands calibration. PETG is a very flexible material, and breaking so easily is weird; it could be a low-quality product or a bad batch. Some PLA brands become frágil when absorbing humidity, but I never saw it happening with PETG.
The brittleness generally happens when your filament absorbs too much moisture. This is very common when you open a filament but don't use it for a few weeks or months. There are filament dryers that can help. Some people recommend putting their filament in the oven for a few hours but I would not recommend putting potentially toxic chemicals in the same oven that is used for food.
Useful video! Thank you! I'll be tuning my K1 for the first time today to work out some ringing and nit issues I'm having printing PETG. Also, no problems with the AI translation. Very impressed at the quality, and will definitely be considering it to help expand the global audience of my upcoming videos. Much appreciated! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Doyle. Yes PETG use to have some waves on printing, I believe it is related to the material characteristics, it is harder to get on good appearance, but is very good on resistance.
Another thank you again you are now compiling my go to 3d printing video bible for me ... !
Ive been waiting for someone to post something like this for the creality print slicer.. Thanks for this
Hi Digital Inventor. I bought the Creality K1 about 3 weeks ago. Thank you for this detailed Video, I didn’t know you could calibrate the different filaments, creating a profile.
I did notice the silk gold PLA has notchers from the gears that feed it into the extruder, it’s only slight, but doesn’t seem to be a problem.
Kind regards, Gary
I just got my K1, loving it so far, thanks so much for making this vid
Thanks for sharing! I just bought a K1 for my first 3D printer and am always looking for useful information on how to use it better.
Very good video. I feel that the calibration process should be a part of the introduction to 3D printers that was missed in the unboxing of this product. Thank you for this detail
Your explanation on tuning the Creality K1 for different filaments is well received, thank you. I have been 3D printing for close on 12 years now, owned a couple of Creality Ender 3 printers and purchased a Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon and the Creality K1 Max when they first came out. However, I've since sold the Bamboo because I personally find the Creality K1 Max to be a better printer. My only hope is that one day Creality will design a multi-material attachment similar to the X1 Carbon. Regarding your AI translation, well done and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
James, stay tuned on the channel by January 8th. I think you'll like what I'm bringing here ;)
Well done, concise without wayward speculation. Thanks
Sensacional!! Mal posso esperar para calibrar a minha max... Muito obrigada por dividir todo esse conhecimento em detalhe
Very informative and helpful to those of us that are new to 3d printing. Thank you
Thank You! This video sold me on the Creality K1/K1 Max!
Thank you for an awesome and informative video, especially about changing the type of filament.
Awesome video with great info. Gonna take a shot at calibrating my printer following your instructions. Also the “AI” translation is quite good for what it is.
Damn this was a good video! HOly Fudge. Finally some in depth explanations.
The funniest thing is that I'm a Brazilian watching this video in english
hahahah, WWHHHYYYY???
Hilarious
Ironically for some reason i'm doing exactly that also. and the translation is good
I am Russian and watching this in English too)
Loco
Very well put together informative video. Thank you my friend
thanks for the information it explained a lot and made it easy
Thank you for the all the detail. It was very informative.
Great video, thankyou for sharing. The link for calibration tutorial in your description no longer works. Can I find this information on a blog so I can do it slowly step by step ? Thankyou
Liked. Subscribed. I like the quality of your content. The AI translation? A bit creepy but I’ll play along. It will be everywhere very very soon… Just bought the K1SE and I’m blown away.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
Great guide on calibration! Thanks a lot for this.
Your voice is pleasing and the AI translation is impressive. I shared your video.
Thanks Wesley, while I could afford the K1 Max I would not be able to keep running their Hyper PLA so this is great
Another big thank you for more great content !
The AI translation on this video is fantastic! And great information, thanks!
Thank you 🤗
Thanks for amazing video. Very useful
Great video, thanks for your time.
Thanks really helped with my K1 MAX I just got
Awesome video!
This video was SUPER helpful. I feel real stupid for not even noticing the calibration tab in the slicer software. Bought my K1 6ish months ago and there felt like very little info or videos out there that really helped with the K1 specifically. Definitely nothing like this that shows how to take advantage of the printer and the accompanying slicer software. Bit annoying that a lot if not most videos say use Orca or use Prusa and root your machine and do this or that when Im just a beginner and Im like "I just need to learn wtf Im doing first." Great video, very helpful and informative.
Nice translation (some glitchs doesn't matter), good and useful video. Thanks for this guide.
thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the K1c and have been struggling with this. the Creality wiki is a bit confusing when it says to Choose parameter settings, what should the best testing parameters for a certain material be?
thanks for the video, I also own this printer and I'm looking for improvements
Thank you for this english material. It was very helpful.
This is more helpful then the Creality Wiki write ups on calibrating. I went through the temp, flow rate, pressure advance and max flow rate. The pressure advance and flow rate was hard to read as most looked good but had some layer separation while using ABS. Any thoughts on how to get ABS calibrated correctly?
Could you please post a link to the calibration cube you showed? I cant find it anywhere
www.thingiverse.com/thing:6308243
When doing the Flow Rate test, is it ok if the number box above has some light leakage but the actual box has no light leakage when looking through?
That translation was very good !
So great full for finding this video had issues with prints and never new why and turns out I’ve never set the printer up properly
Hello, thanks for all your experiences, I apreciate. I'd like to ask you about to print in K1Max with PP, can you try to do that?. Thanks
I'm preparing new videos with different material, and PP is one of them for sure. Thanks for following us
I haven't taken my K1 Max out of its box yet, hopefully tomorrow is the day.. I have a automotive software app from Brazil, the app interface is in English but any support videos are in Portuguese. If you want a laugh watch a Portuguese video using the google translate function in the youtube video captions. They are useless at translating between the two.
Thanks for the video
Great content and impressive AI. Can I ask what service you are using for the Language dubbing?
Podia ter feito um vídeo em português, ou ao menos liberado a tradução, acho que já existe essa alternativa no RUclips, várias opções de idiomas.
Nem sei o que dizer.... o Wesley tem 3 canais parceiro....
É que aqui o YT não deixa postar link....mas acho que um inventor qualquer ele me deixa escrever... rsrs 😉
do you have to change the max flow rate if you go to a bigger nozzle?
Yes, every nozzle size has a different flow rate and need a new calibration
This is exactly what I needed thank you!
Great info, but LW-PLA seems the hardest to set up...any tips?
I realized the "AI Translated" just now. That's amazing.
how do i reset creality print settings?? i am having trouble calibrating flow rate after some software updates and firmware updates on k1 max
My K1 Max is being shipped at the moment, but I stumbled on your video, so thanks for the information. I'm actually amazed at the AI translation more than the printer, thats the first video, at least that I know of, where AI has been used to translate AND make it look like you are speaking english. Sure it's sort of noticeable with your beard, but wow, cant wait to see the future in this field.
Great video! On the 2nd step of flow calibration, are you sure you are correct about the results being added or subtracted from your initial best setting? It looks like when you gave a "-5" result from step one that it then bracketed that value by +/- 5. So, if you got a result of "-3" for step 2 that would be the value you use, not "-8". If it were relative to the "-5", it would have given you an available range of "+5" to "-5", centered on "0".
Yes . i thing like you. and i dont understand
Vielen Dank für das Video! Ich habe eine menge gelernt!
What are you using to fine tune. Are you running kipper or is this a slicer?
Sorry I see creality print in the left top corner. Thanks
Thanks very useful video
Qual app usou para trocar o rosto e traduzir?
where would I find a test cube similar to the one you showed?
Wesley, I have spent almost two weeks calibrating an ASA+ filament and doing precisely the procedure you outline in your video. Thank you for filling in some blanks that Creality's Calibration Wiki doesn't mention. I really appreciate your advice on how to interpret the printed results. One of the things that messed up my Flow Rate tests was the AI flow correction that can be a part of the "Print calibration" function you can enable when sending the print to the printer. It can do more than just bed levelling... Can you please post a link to the same video in Portuguese?
Hi @omahena, I use to disable the function "pressure advance" at the filament profile, this function use to cause oscillation on the hotend pressure during the printing. But regarding the AI flow correction I've never had an issue with that, but I must to say that I also notice no changes when using it LOL, besides the fact that that thing spends more filament. I believe Creality is still collection data to improve this functionality, since it was added on K1 Max.
Vídeo maravilhoso! Obrigada! Só não entendi a parte do 25:42. Imprimo no padrão primeiro, 20, coloco o 30 que mostra no vídeo ou o 60 que você colocou, pf? Minha K1 Max está imprimindo as bases que precisam de suporte errado. Fica cheio de camadas não lisas. Sabe o que pode estar acontecendo? Já tentei de tudo :( Muito obrigada e sucesso!
Great tutorial, thanks a ton man!
Can you share the ideal print settings for Creality K1 printer and profile settings for petg abs and pla?
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
thank you so much for this it is the most indepth and honest tuning set up Iwant to use LW PLA have you tried this and do you have any sugestions for me my main hobby is building RC Planes agian thanks mate
Hi, Buying one tomorrow.. K1 Max that is.
I love videos like this. Thanks
Qual ferramenta você utilizou pra fazer a dublagem? Não sei se o original é em inglês, mas está muito bom mesmo.
I have a couple running questions. So if I want to move up from a .4 to a .6 nozzle should I redo the calibration over with the larger nozzle? Second question. Would going to a larger nozzle maybe .8 help with printing tpu or the softer filaments?
Im interested
Can you pse explain the following. You said, in the first case let us assume you got 5 and in the second case you got -2. So the final number is 3 right? But you are adding only +2 to the percentage and not +3. Is it that we have to substract this +3 from the remaining percentage which 5%?. Thank you so much for all your efforts
Kinda cool how this is ai translated. Thanks!
