I watched easily a dozen videos on the K1C, probably about half comparing to the K1. Yours was the only one that really nailed what counts, and that is the difference in print quality.
Replacement nozzles are not available in the creality store. I asked on the store chat and they have no idea when or if they will be available. Major problem and deal breaker.
If they can make a K1C Max I'd be interested. Been wanting a med-large enclosed printer for ABS and ASA parts. So far the Qidi max 3 is top of the list.
I print large ABS custom toolboxes on my K1Max just fine. The C releases seem to me to be a marketing update. Gotta stay current, gotta get a machine out the door. However, the modifications made to the gearing would be welcome.
@@mikestewart4752 yeah I just don't like the k1's door design and the qidi is cheaper with a heated chamber. Seriously the fact multiple people have had their k1/max doors shatter on them because they opened a little too far shows that thing is a massive design flaw.
You should do a teardown of your extruder. Many other reviewers are finding that it's not actually all metal and all the gears are plastic. So, either the review units were quickly thrown together or Creality is lying through their teeth.
They arent dumb enough to lie about a part that every user will quickly get eyes on. It was a marketing oversight. Right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.
My K1C arrived 2 days ago. I was super excited unboxing it and then I realised that there was no build plate. Now I have to wait for a build plate to arrive haha. Hopefully it'll get here on Friday so I can start using the printer this weekend. It's my first 3D printer so I have a bit of learning to do.
The VFAs went away for me on the latest 2 firmware running a k1, but i may have changed something else that helped 🤷 thats the trouble with always tinkering with your printer.
I have the K1 Max and I still have some VFA's, but it's so much more expensive that I hope they offer an upgrade kit for it. If I can have a "K1C Max" as something I can do myself, I absolutely will. I expected it to be a little better since it was $900...
The newer K1 did replace those large gears that cause the artifacting, the newer K1 also replaced the extruder gears with a better one (Shiny mirror finish extruder = old, less shiny = new design) (Still using the old hot end tho). The very few flaws remaining can actually be fixed by some basic 3d prints: Cable clips for the PTFE tube issue + risers for the top cover. So if anyone can get a better deal on the K1, I say just take it and make the fixes/upgrades yourself. This is my situation right now as the K1 is about $170 cheaper than the K1C, and the seller guaranteed me that the version of the K1 I'm getting is the most recent version.
I've been happy with the first prints from my k1c, but tonight I printed the side spool holder and discovered that my y appears to be wired up backwards. The part in the slicer has the text correctly, but the resulting part is mirrored over Y with the text and direction of the part backwards. Everything else I'd printed was symmetrical, so i hademt noticed it until now.
From watching other reviews & tear downs the hotend is pretty bad & not a great update. Its not even a full hardened nozzle. Its copper with an insert. Bowden tube fix isnt great either as it has a sharp curve and has broken CF in other reviewers. It seems to be a side grade than an upgrade.
Cooper nozzle with steel insert is the best of both worlds. It's only the tip with the nozzle hole that suffers significant wear, and having a full steel nozzle hurts thermal performance.
Does this printer actually have an all metal extruder? Did you verify this , as I have seen and read that the extruder still has plastic gears... can you verify?
Creality is continuing to just pump out partially finished printers and relying on consumer cash to test and revise their products. It doesn't seem like they could possibly have enough time to thoroughly vet and test the changes they make. Although its good they are making improvements, they are still just sniffing out what is the bare minimum set of improvements that will increase their long term sales. Fine, its a business. But they aren't innovating when they clearly could. Their incremental improvements that could have been determined in house are instead coming off the backs of folks who paid for gen 1.
@@ferrumignisexcept that they knew it had problems and wasn’t ready and sold it anyway. There should at least be a way to purchase the motors and pulleys. It’s only been a year, it’s not right but it is typical of creality.
Man, I ordered one of these. Off top, I loaded and built the profile for the CR-PLA and jammed my regular K1MAX the other night...then..saw an ad for THIS.
"the best slicer" I still can't stop laughing. It's such an instable program with soooo many issues, it's nearly unusable and the user interface is a very bad joke. I've tried to use it, but no 😂 even the newest version is as worse as the old one from about a half year ago
Mäh...The time of Creality is over. Low price and low quality is not what the market wants anymore. But this is the playground of Creality and so they won't make it into the future. No one wants to print hundrets of mods anymore to make the printer usable. They changed their company symbol to confuse the cusomers but that will not work as the quality is as bad as usual.
Your right the build quality is almost 3-5 years behind where it should be it’s years spent cutting corners on experimental designs and selling flagship models with too many quirks, issues,bugs and more to even call it their top model I’d say this is they’re best attempt at fully enclosed FDM printer and I still find myself printing mods for it im switching to Bambulab after I buy one or two more printers for my setup.

true. best one yet. others are absolute shit
The K1C really does seem like what the original should have been the first time around. That said, at least they're improving...
Replacement nozzles are not available in the creality store. I asked on the store chat and they have no idea when or if they will be available. Major problem and deal breaker.
I asked their customer about the nozzle and got replied the unicore nozzle will be available in the store at the end of next month.
The unicorn nozzles are available in the store

I totally agree. Whenever they make a K1C Max, that will be a great printer
They already said they are not.
@@TheDeeStain qidi it is then

That is a great deal, and if it does have the larger gears then it would be totally worth it
what brand carbon fiber pla did you use for the parts shown in the video?
I've been happy with the first prints from my k1c, but tonight I printed the side spool holder and discovered that my y appears to be wired up backwards. The part in the slicer has the text correctly, but the resulting part is mirrored over Y with the text and direction of the part backwards.

Enjoyed the video. Have you done any prinintg with silk pla, and if so what setting work best? thanks
You should paint it to look like Glados from portal and maybe install an orange LED strip
what PLA should i use that is cheap and that is low cost
My cheap go to brand is Overture, but filament in general has all been getting good recnetly
Thank you
If you want to use the full speed capabilities you'll need a high speed PLA (e.g. Creality Hyper PLA, eSun ePLA-HS or equivalent)
It was super good and clean. Thank you.

I have a K1 base model since September, and I have even printed with carbon fiber before. It works fine.
@@roberttsukerman8689 yeah PLA CF isnt CF lol
Boils down to Creality continuing to use consumers cash to do field testing for an unfinished product
@@dmax9324 yup
Cooper nozzle with steel insert is the best of both worlds. It's only the tip with the nozzle hole that suffers significant wear, and having a full steel nozzle hurts thermal performance.
a question, the new extruder can be installed in the K1?
K1C sounds familliar
Hey can I ask you...if I'm a noob and want to start 3D printing..what printer should I buy with a $1000 budget?
Either something from Bambu or Creality would be my recommendation, a lot of great printers in that price range
Bambu x1c
Does this printer actually have an all metal extruder? Did you verify this , as I have seen and read that the extruder still has plastic gears... can you verify?

Do you think they would ever come out with a upgrade stepper kit for the k1?
is it true that the k1c is not really full metal?
The proprietary nozzle is a deal breaker, what if they stop selling it in like 5 years o0
Why is no one talking about the bed? Even if it’s just a cover on the front I want to see what the heck it looks like.
Same as K1 just added front label plate. It's not a die cast plate for sure.
It is identical from the bottom, just a small metal front plate
Hi,
Are you using Orcaslicer with your Creality K1C?
No, I'm using the Creality Slicer. I personally like it more than Orca
Hi, can K1C print PC, ASA, ABS, CF on plate A with 100C bed without glue stick?
Where I found the model of that side spool holder?????
how does it compare to Flashforge Adventurer 5M PRO ?
I'd be livid if I bought the K1 and there's no upgrade path. Especially if you can still buy the K1 currently.
This is simply a fact of life when buying technology. Do you get mad if you buy a phone and the manufacturer starts selling an improved model?
@@ferrumignisexcept that they knew it had problems and wasn’t ready and sold it anyway. There should at least be a way to purchase the motors and pulleys. It’s only been a year, it’s not right but it is typical of creality.
Hi, will the K1C be a good upgrade from the ender 3 S1 pro thanks
Not based on what I’ve seen. I’ve got an s1 pro and it’s one of the best printers I’ve ever used.
Will they release a k1c max with 300x300x300 print size?
Check k2 plus printer coming later this year
Hey can it use Orca Slicer network print feature?
Yes I have one it works
I just bought a K1 last week... I like it a lot. Concidering to sell and and buy a K1C later on. Great video.
Can anyone share the carbon filter adapter file from the k1c ?
Shame on them for not fixing the original k1 or at least making an upgrade path. They knew the k1 wasn’t ready.
Man, I ordered one of these. Off top, I loaded and built the profile for the CR-PLA and jammed my regular K1MAX the other night...then..saw an ad for THIS.
disappointed, alredy bought traditional k1😥
Lil, I'm glad creality is learning!
I want this
Looks like from other reviews Creality has lied. Not all metal gears as stated but plastic. So what other lies has Creality told.
"the best slicer" I still can't stop laughing. It's such an instable program with soooo many issues, it's nearly unusable and the user interface is a very bad joke. I've tried to use it, but no 😂 even the newest version is as worse as the old one from about a half year ago
first 3 to commment pls reply i love ur videosi watched all
Thanks! So glad you like them!
Paid video😂 really Your favourite printer of 2023? Dude wake up you put people to buy trash..
