I am surprised at how fast and easily I was able to start printing. I previously used an Ender 3 V2 and don't get me wrong I loved that machine, but this one is so much easier to just start printing. The differences are night and day and while I could eventually get the same result on my Ender 3, I would have spent a lot more time just configuring and prepping the print, let alone the print times. Being able to manage the prints from the Creality Print software is so much more straightforward and faster to set up than my previous setup with OctoPrint. The build volume looks perfect for printing helmets and bigger props. The software is going to take some getting used to but it looks very promising so far. Just needs a little bit of tweaking to get the settings just right but until then I am very satisfied with my prints.

So far the machine is doing well enough but I do own two other machines that do great, namely a Bambu Labs X1C and P1P and their first layers look perfect, having some sort of under extrusion and or bed height issue I haven't figured out quite yet but for only having it for less than a day and not delving into settings very far I will say it performs almost flawlessly as even with the Bambu Labs printers it has taken me awhile to get the prints to be flawless to the point I want them to be at so really if I had to compare I would say they are mostly even with a very slight edge given to Bambu Labs due to the first layers pretty much being perfect every time without need of intervention on my part though others have had issues with that so I can't say that works out for everyone. Would like to see this machine have the ability to use other slicers natively as I have become partial to using Orca Slicer, I mean I still can, but I am not quite sure exactly what I need to tweak to get the prints to where I want them to be yet and not a whole lot of people own this machine yet that can point in the proper direction just yet. All that said and done, the machine works, better than probably 98% of the machines that are plug and play, meaning they don't need to be built from scratch. The build volume is mainly why I picked up this machine and so far it has not disappointed, it can print the same things on 1 plate that it takes both my bambu machines to prints basically doubles my output which should help me in the long run at the moment, plus I can print larger things like helmets and the like that wouldn't fit properly on the Bambu Labs machines without cutting them.

I just received my K1 Max 2 days. It has already blown my mind with its performance. This is my 2nd 3D printer & has got me hooked. I was printing within 30 minutes of opening the box. It printed my first quality benchy in lightning fast speed compared to my old printer. The self leveling bed is a game changer, no more wasting hours trying to dial in my machine just to get failure after failure.
I actually have confidence to take on the large scale projects that I have been dreaming of doing.
The large print bed is amazing. I don't have to angle my prints in weird orientations and angles with massive supports. I can just lay them flat & go to town with it.
Creality Cloud is a game changer as well. I literally sat on the couch in the other room, downloaded an stl on my phone, uploaded it to the app to slice and started printing. I don't have to waste time slicing files on my computer then save them to a micro SD then transfer them hoping I'm printing the right file off the card. I can visually see my print on the screen of the printer, or on my phone. Also I was able to check on the progress with the built in camera, so I literally never had to get off the couch for the entire print

I keep finding more and more features that I wasn't expecting. I'm sure that I have many more great surprises over the next week to discover.
Oh did I mention how stupid simple it is to operate? My kindergarten aged children were learning how to operate it under my direction. It wont be long until I come home from work to see the little toys and nicknacks they printed while I was away.
So for our first big project, we will be printing full sets of Mandalorian armor to include the helmet, which will print as a single piece on this massive print bed. The goal is to have all four sets printed/painted/and mounted to our suits before Halloween.

I cannot recommend this printer enough. If you're looking for a major upgrade on your 3D printing, this is they way to go.

Let me start with AWESOME!!! Delivered quick. Great packaging. Very easy setup. It did its setup process and was ready. Printed a Benchy in 16mins. It's a beautiful peace of work! The software is simple but complete.

This was my first printer purchase. I wanted a printer that was simple to use without wasting too much time learning how to use it or having to make upgrades after purchase to make the printer do specifically what I wanted which was fast print speeds and solid quality prints.
The K1 Max setup was very simple and easy to follow. Without any print knowledge I was up and printing in about 30 minutes. I was amazed at how fast it was able to print. My first print took a total of 15 minutes which is one of the reasons I chose the K1 Max. I didn't want to wait hours for a single print.
The quality of printing was great with the setup straight out of the box. This printer is exactly what I wanted which is fast with great prints. The boat took 15 minutes and the cube sample took around 20 minutes. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for something easy, fast with quality right out of the box without any learning to do.

I love this printer, it was very easy set up compared to other printers. Comes with all the tools you need to set it up, instructions were very clear. I owned a Max, and Kobra Max and this K1 Max beats it out of the waters. The prints are very clean and not much to slice it. The program takes a little getting used to, compared to Cura. I do love the Wi-Fi printing, it makes life so much easier compared to inserting a SD card in every time. The only I don’t like about the about Creality is the Creality Cloud App, it’s to busy. Should make it more user friendly.

Impressive printer!!!!!
I have used a competitor brand since getting into 3d printing, but I have to admit, this K1 Max has blown me away.
Super easy to set up. From taking it out of the box to putting it together on my workbench and printing, took less than 30 minutes.
One click print. Had a little issue with feeding the filament the first time, but one I figured it out, it's been non stop printing this last week.
And it is huge. I wanted to take the leap to Creality so I can transition to the larger brother, but I am very happy with my purchase.
