Love my K1's and Bambu's but this really captured my attention. It makes it much faster to print large projects. I'll be getting a couple more of these.

After building my first Anet A8 years ago I upgraded to a couple of Enders and was pretty happy with the printing results. I recently retired and decided waiting for prints complete was not a good use of my time so I wanted an upgrade. I wanted to go to the next size up which for me was the K1 Max as my mods to my Ender 3 V2 to get 230x230mm was not large enough anymore. Since receiving the K1 Max I've run it pretty constant for several weeks and the only issue I had was a user error of a tangled spool causing the nozzle to clog. Definitely has been a big step up and has exceeded my expectations. Originally I didn't think I cared about multi color printing but since using the K1 Max I can't wait for Creality to offer CFS compatibility for the K1 series.

I don't normally write reviews but the K1C has been an absolute beast of a machine. I have about 650 print hours on my K1C and every print has come out as expected. The only real issues I had were self inflicted, with the exception of the linear rails. About 500 hours in, I started hearing a grinding sound, but it turned out that all I needed to do wipe down the linear rail and it was good to go. The unit isnt loud but coming from an upgraded Ender 3 v1 with upgraded Bigtreetech 2209 steppers, it is a little louder. Overall, I am planning on buying a few more.
Suggested improvements:
- Quieter steppers
- Noctua fans
- Multifilament support unit (maybe on top, or under the unit)

What a workhorse this printer has been!!!! I am totally impressed. I have owned, just about every printer, from the original ender, then the CRs, then on to the Ender 5 plus, and the Halot resin, and now on to the K series. out of all of the creality printers I have owned, I can honestly say this is the only printer I have been ecstatic about. From day one pulling it out of the box and printing within an hour, till now I have many many hours on this thing. The prints just come out perfectly every time. The speed is absolutely amazing. I love the XY platform, and the K series has made me a believer. I can see me adding more and more of these printers. First layers are buttery smooth and every layer after that just follows suit. It's awesome, not having to tinker with everything in between prints. Everything I throw at it, just prints. Even full plates with multiple items, goes without any issues. Creality got it right this time.

Absolutely terrible product! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Came broken with No bed adhesion. Prints fall off the bed, even with PLA. Creality support took about a month to resolve it, and emails made little sense. I wanted this to be my first good printer coming from the ender 3, but no. . . Somebody needs to get this fixed.

Junk.
Every time it goes through its self check it gets part way through and it crashes, powers off and starts again.
Should have bought a Prusa like all the websites recommend.

BUYER BEWARE OF WARRANTY AND DESIGN FLAW. The mounting bolts for the ceramic heating block will back themselves out over time due to vibrations and cause the machine to fail. The engineers should have thought of way for these 2 bolts to be mounts from overhead instead of underneath. Overall, this is an amazing 3D printer. It's fast, has plenty of options for your prints, and is relatively easy to work on. My advice would be to use high-heat thread-locker on the 2 bolts as soon as you receive your machine to you don't suffer the same fate as I did. My build plate is ruined and I have plenty of cosmetic damage to the machine. My complaint is that certain items only have a 3 month warranty so now I'm out-of-pocket for replacement parts.

The printer worked perfectly for half a week out of the box. For the first 10 or so prints, everything was coming out perfectly, but after about half a week, the printer began failing the first layers at about a 50/50 success rate. then after about week 2, due to firmware and software issues with the Lan wi-fi access terminal for the printer, my k1 max crashed the bed into the printhead causing damage to it and the bed. Part way into week 3, I tried fixing this z-axis crashing issue with a firmware update from the official creality page which worked for about 2 days before my printer tried to kill itself after I attempted homing the z axis, crashing the bed one again into the print head. I tried fixing this by cleaning the lidar scanner with a microfiber cloth and some compressed air and doing a bed leveling self-test only for the bed to literally kill itself in the process, scrapping into the print head and causing irreparable damage to the print head, bed, heat bed, x and y axis gurney, and most significantly the z-axis motors which are now screeching like a dying puppy and grinding like a dodge ram 1500 transmission that just blew after its first 20k miles.
The prints are high quality and the printer is absolutely and impressively accurate and fast WHEN IT WORKS. Also the slicer software, which creality kind of soft locks you into using in order to use input shaping and other important features on the printer which you paid for, SUCKS. Almost none of the other main slicer programs properly support the k1 max with the important features it comes with.
If you want to get The k1 max consider just spending the extra 1k and getting the Prusa XL, at least their support team responds to you when you try to contact them and they have a WORKING PHONE NUMBER.
