It looks and feels solid, I do have a creality Ender 3 pro and you can really see the difference in the printing speed (not saying much considering I had ender 3 pro almost 2 years) but it's amazing how fast the KC1 really is. I did have trouble with the AI camera portion of it. I did 9 prints and 4 came out ok the others not so much. One was at 80% complete when I checked it and there was spaghetti all over the place, no warning or message about it. Then the others I did get a message about the prints not completing correctly because of of misprint. The Webcam is a nice touch, most of the times I have to restart app to get it to work. It would
Be nice to be able to add a second camera.
A more reliable AI

Other than that it's a great machine.

Packaging was very well done. Everything arrived in great shape with no setup issues. Self tests all went perfectly. Ran the benchi file for kicks and giggles and looked great. That's as far as the goods go.
-Wastes an incredible amount of time before each print,
-Apparently the LIDAR and Spagehtti dectection arent a thing.
-For whatever reason Creality Print doesnt allow to spin the plate to view at different angles like Orca or Bambu Studios.
-Once you finally get an import on the plate and set then slice why do you have to export, then go to device to import then selct it to print. Why not just go straight from slice to print.
-Would have loved to send pictures of ALL the failed prints in the last 16 hours but the records doesn't do anything but keep track of the hours and 100s of filaments wasted. Last print failed at 4h43m in.
-The bed adhesive, that is a terrible formula. Go with Flash Forge adhesive, easier to apply , clear, and doesn't leave a huge mess on the plate.

I was really excited to see a xy 300 enclosed printer as my wife had a lot of prints she wanted to do that took a lot of room. Seeing the Max I thought it was a good option to get away from a bed slinger. Right before I ordered this I was holding over the PURCHASE NOW on a SV08. It would appear I made the wrong choice. Sadly a number of guys I work with were excited to hear how this weekend went and excited to hear how many of the wife's projects I got checked off the print list ( as they are planning on investing soon ) and all I have to tell them is at least Bambu Labs was here pickup the slack.
The Otter that I ordered to go with the K1 Max is still in the case sitting on the table, after today is likely never to be taken out of the case.
Was really excited and couldn't wait to give a great review back to you and the guys looking for printers, but its just not happening.

I bot this on the father day sale after I had problems with the first K1 Max o bot earlier this year that I can't get them to take back. Again after only have this for a few weeks I'm trying to get a replacement but they want to play games and dink around on a replacement so I'm about to take legal action.

A HUGE let down and dont waste your money.
Claims to print out of the box easy set up. THis is not true at all. After waiting for a long time to be able to order I received my K1Max with high hopes. Ive been 3D printing for nearly 25 years and was very excited at the advancments they claim to have.

What a let down it will not print digges its nozzle into the build bed on the first print. settings for z offset can not be changed as it is hard coded into the machine and not able to be set manuallly to avoid this error.
THE AUTO CALABRATE TAKES NEARLY 30 MIN TO COMPLETE.
THE AUTO CALABRATE TAKES NEARLY 30 MIN TO COMPLETE.
When a print starts its a complete failure some parts are dug into the bed others are printing in space. the bed mesh is clearly off but no way to see how since this is not any where to be seen.
Noisy is an understatment sounding like an old tractor. fans are so loud too,
So I have not been able to even get a single print to start and there slicer is a complete joke hard to use and not user friendly at all.
There profiles wont print and seem to have never been tested at all
My conclusion on this printer is DONT BUY IT! bosting about how great it works only to have it not. its a printer that was rushed to market not tested non working deceptive claimes and not user friendly printer. I would not waste your money on this printer it is a poorly designed clone.

Recieved defective. I think it's the motherboard. The startup calibration does not complete and issues multiple errors (see photos). I opened the bottom panel and saw the motherboard cooling fan is mounted very close to the MOBO and looks like they smashed together and both recieved some damage. Disappointed. Creality has not helped me yet after several days. Think twice before buying. I'll update my review if Creality resolves this and makes me whole.

I really wanted to like this printer. Bought it as soon as it launched earlier in the month. I got a few days of amazing prints out of it and was happy until one day it just decided to dig the nozzle into the print bed with no warning during its auto leveling process. Now there are multiple holes in the bed and the nozzle seems to be having issue (as seen in the picture with the benchy), I have contacted Creality but no response yet. Such a shame since this printer showed SO much promise in the first few days, now it's essentially unusable. Will update review if Creality finally reaches out to address these defects I've encountered. Until then, avoid K1 Max for the time being.

I was really excited to receive my k1 max today. Everything was packaged really well and I watched all the instructionally videos I could find so I could start printing as soon as possible. I would recommend attaching the rubber piece to the screw before trying to attach the door handle. Also note there is a piece of Styrofoam under the print bed. I did the whole setup process BUT when it got to the self test it gave me errors. When I went to report the error it said I had to bind my printer although I had already done that. I've tried this 3x now. I shut down and unplugged and tried and have gotten the same issue. The extruder seems to be making a jammed when it tries moving. I was really hoping I'd get a printer that worked right out of the box. I'm now getting 2 different error codes and it's stuck at input shaping(. I've spent 2 and a half hours messing with it trying to get it to do something... Anything...
The printer shows offline in the app. I scanned the QR code and selected it as a k1 max. Each time it starts it makes noise like the extruder should be traveling but quickly stops and sits in the input shaping stage. I even took the bottom off and made sure everything was secured correctly. I'm pretty bummed. Today was supposed to be the day I replaced my ender 3. If I get it working I'll write a different review on how it prints. As for now I guess I'll wait for support. Hopefully I don't have to wait again for replacement parts. I'm so tired of manual bed leveling!!!
