Creality K1C 3D Printer (2024 New Version) - Fast 600mm/s Printing Speed, AI Camera,Direct Extruder, Tri-metal Nozzle, Carbon Fiber Filament Support, Auto Leveling - Prints at High 300°C Temperature

Really happy with my new K1C. It is super fast, 3 or 4 times faster than my Ender 5 was. Even though enclosed, the fans are a lot noisier than I had expected. I will have to experiment with fan speeds I think. Worked straight out of the box with minimal set up, but 3d printing is a fickle thing so a bit of tweaking and trial and error is always required to get best results from any printer.

If you are gifting this to your loved one, everything in your house will be made of 3d printed stuffs. Also, it is like tattoos, after the first one, they will start getting many more and won’t stop. He now has purchased a second printer, more materials, and accessories. This is a path of no return!Ps: jokes aside, very happy with purchase, my partner loved it and is always printing stuff for me. Due to receive a fluorescent Gengar this evening :)

Absolutely amazed at this product. So easy to put together and great quality prints as well as really fast for a 3d printer. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into 3d printing. The quality, performance and features are amazing its quiet and even has a self leveling feature which saves a lot of hassel for set up etc

Ender 3 V3 SEI had got this as a replacement for my Anycubic i3 mega that was now 5 years old and getting past its best.Initial thoughts are good. Small box easy to setup and get started. Is quite a slim but tall machine. Shame we still have v-rollers on X&Z axis in 2023.Auto setup. The auto leveling and z offset is good. I would say the z-offset is not perfect. I had to lower it by 0.1mm from what it thinks.Screen. Nice easy to use screen. Shame no touch screen but its a budget price point.Bed. The bed is great no level knobs and decent detachable spring steel/PC sheet.Parts can stick too well on this PC sheet. Being a 24v power supply the bed and nozzle seem to heat up in good time.QA. Creality need a little more attention on the QA side. I had a very grinding left linear bearing. Easily noticeable when manually moving or printing. Bed screws were not tightened well. Yes there is filament in the extruder but that only proves the extruder is tested.Extruder. The sprite extruder seems great so far. Although a bit noisy clicky when lots of retractions.Speed. Although this is supposed to do 250mm/s. Expected the quality to suffer a little. Have managed 200mm/s ok but top surface suffers a bit.I need to find a sweet spot for speed vs quality.Print quality. Quality seems same as most other bed slingers of this print point. So no complaints so far. External walls seem smooth. E-steps seem spot on out of the box. Did not need to calibrate this point.Noise. Print noise in general is ok. Just the noisy sprite extruder retraction. The fans can get a bit loud on long extrusions. The internal fans seems always on.Quirks. Not sure why it needs to home very low down to extrude or retract. This is little annoying as risking filament build up on the print head area. Although it does have a silicone sock.4/5. Just for the lack of decent QA from Creality.

Nothing but problems with this machine will be staying with bamboo from now on definitely recommend stay away from Creality there customer service is terrible

This is my 2nd Creality 3d printer and its absolutely amazing. Prints are fast and brilliant, I am yet to have a failed print. The enclosure is just the best and totally stops any draughts getting to the nozzle.The speed this printer goes at is just unbelievable compared to my first one. I wish I had got one of these ages ago.

What a great printer. Speed and quality of prints is great. What used to take hours to print on my cr10 pro now print in under an hour, sometimes less than half hour.

This is one of those devices that seems perfect. Works straight out of the box and just prints fantastically... until it doesn'tOnce it starts failing you get under extrusion, trapped filament in the extruder, blocked nozzles and if you're lucky you might get the odd small print done.What happens when you contact Creality? They send you some YouTube videos to follow. That's it. Pretty pathetic. Only when you come to follow them you find that half the tools you need didn't come with the printer. The allen key to under the screws only works on the short end which means each screw takes a few minutes to undo and you'll have cramp in your hand before you're done. The socket to replace the nozzle isn't there so you have to order one from Amazon, as well as a new nozzle.This could've been a great 3D printer but Creality and in particular their support let's it down. My advice? Do what I'm going to do after I've sent this back. Order a Bambu labs printer. I'm done with Creality.
