Creality K1C 3D Printer, 600mm/s High-Speed Auto Leveling Clog-Free Robust Direct Extruder K1 SE Upgraded 3D Printer with AI Camera 300°C Printing Silent Mode Support Carbon Fiber Filaments

Really nice printer... I've been using it for a couple weeks now and printed many things... The best thing to do is to get a dryer along with the 3d printer... It will improve your prints greatly. Also learning to fines the settings helped a lot. I saw a big difference in PETG print quality just changing the temp of the hot bed from 57C to 56C...I recommend downloading other peoples 3d modles from online sources like [Printable.com, makerworld.com or thangs.com] for the door hinges, front plate, exhaust fan upgrades and (riser plates (if you intend on using CF filaments)) to get started and learn about how the cad models work and need to be physically one piece for the Creality Print or Cura to work with them. Most software can only do so much to "repair" models someone might create in Blender... FreeCAD isn't that great but using TinkerCAD with Blender has shown me some decent results and is completely free. AutoDesks 360 fusion looks nice if you have some cash for softwawre they also have a free trial where you can make 9 editable files with there cloudbased software. I have enjoyed this new device since I'm always looking to fix or upgrade things and this allows for SOOOO much more inventive creativity.It has a setting called [ Silent ] too, which slows the printer down to silent volumes which is very awesome since I live next to persnickety people in apartments. It won't turn down the "travel" speed that much so the setting will need to be adjusted inside Creality print advanced settings if true silence is needed since it has insanely quick and efficient motors. It has auto leveling/calibrations, Lan and usb connectivity if you don't trust Wifi and I don't in apartments. It's easy enough to mess the prints up let alone having wifi hackers interrupting file transmissions..I've heard and seen lid risers are needed to print Carbon Fiber prints due to the angle of the Bowden stock tube... ASA makes a good filament for the risers since its high working temp, rigidness and resistance to chemicals like those emited during prints sometimes. Since starting I haven't had to do much of anything to make it work soundly (since I haven't used CF filaments yet) and that is awesome! Make sure to use glue stick. Customer support is responsive for any needs and many videos online to help replace, upgrade, install, and maintain the device.I used the original plastic off the sides of the machine to help create a better seal on the front door (looks ugly but it's free and came with the machine), this keeps everything nice inside when printing and lowers the dB volume outside. Make sure if you decide to upgrade the back fan that you use a DC24v fan. You can place a piece of active carbon filter where the original fan once was... I also put a 5lbs sand back on the edge of the top of the machine which reduces vibrations and movement of the machine when travel is going fast... Don't place it in the center or you will scratch the bottom of the plate like I accidentally did... Risers would have stopped that but I haven't finished them yet...an old tooth brush with either isopropyl alcohol or water works really well to clean the build plate rather than using rags and having to wash them... plus if you do it right you can use the old glue and just make a nice finish with just a little water and effort.

I am by no means an expert. I had a much less expensive 3D printer, and struggled with it. Assembly was tedious, calibration was difficult and questionable, and trying to print anything was a confusing throwback to feeling unprepared for the exam you forgot about. I never got a single successful print.My wife said "Screw this, we're spending a little extra, and getting you a nice one."OMG. The K1C. I LOVE IT.It's so easy. No assembly-- just take it out if the box, remove packing materials, take out 3 shipping screws, connect the screen, and boom. Done. The Creality app and online site make everything sooooo simple. Seriously. I do everything from my phone on the app. "Oooooo, that looks neat." Download, slice, print. Check on progress every now and then without getting off the couch-- and just hit the camera button to watch inside the printer. Looks good? Yup. Back to doing whatever.It's simple, it works, it's fast, it's easy.

Printer is ok. Had issues right out of box. Had to replace heat sink. After that maybe 5 min into first print, had to replace extruder. No help from Creality. Their after-sale support is almost none existent. I told them about the problem and having to replace 2 of the parts basically right out of the box, and nothing. No reimbursement for my expenses, not willing to send items I had to replace, nothing.But if your calling and need help making a purchase, they line up to help. But once you bought one, all that support is gone faster than ice cream at a #&| camp.

The media could not be loaded. Honestly amazing I was trying to learn on an old ender 3 pro and all the upgrades it has it still had so many problems I was spending more time trouble shooting the machine and not nearly enough doing literally anything else I wanted and not to mention wasted filament and frustration. I was able to set this printer up put my file into orca slicer add the printer change no settings other than support transfer to the included usb and print within an hour and it’s already passed the point where my old printer failed 100% of the time. Zero adhesion issues and this thing is fast combine that with the app to let you watch and control your prints without setting up another camera. This printer makes me very happy

I have been having a great time printing on this for the past six months. I am usually bad with electronic but this was super easy to set up. I have had no major issues with using the printer, other than a singke clog. It also very durable. The noise level is fairly quiet compared to other printers I've seen. I would say this is a great option for those who want to learn how to 3D print.The only negative is the smell. sometimes when printing you can smell the melted filamen, so I would suggest using it in a room with good ventilation.

This printer was a bit expensive for my tastes, but it works very well. My only complaint is that when the filament runs out, it's a pain to change it. It's a little loud, the nozzle seems annoying to change compared to my Ender 3 v2, but the bed leveling, automatic z-offset, and enclosure make up for that. Another complaint of mine is that the tools that come with it don't have a dedicated space, like on the Ender series of printers. I'm also not impressed with Creality Print, which is basically a modified version of Orca Slicer. Orca Slicer is a better option, but be careful where you download it from because there are a lot of fake websites serving malware. The official source for Orca Slicer is Github, just google SoftFever/Orca Slicer and you'll find it.
