Help! I've been trying to use orca slicer just for someone else's presets creality preset profiles have been annoying other than pla of course even then it's kinda fast for my filament

@Trejojr88 Жыл бұрын

removing bowden tube from the drag chain helped me i was getting under extrusion and watched the print to see why and i seen it kept getting pinched on the side of the enclosure when i removed from the drag chain it started printing the same model flawless multiple times not sure if that will help others but it helped me

@Troublesomeadam Жыл бұрын

Another tip that I saw was to use a wire to secure the knob/switch on the extruder into the "Locked" position to help with under extruding. Apparently this knob can come a little bit loose and this weakens the grip on the filament as it is being extruded.

@Trejojr88 Жыл бұрын

@Troublesomeadam oh that's a good idea 💡 I'll do it as prevention since it's no longer under extruding better safe then sorry right

one thing that is extremly good with this printer, is no, not the slicer they give you, but OrcaSlicer. It is insane with the quality and amount of control that they give you, I highly suggest switching to it, as it has support for the K1 unlike cura, but gives you the same if not more control over every little detail.

You seem to be quite lucky with your printer. I removed drag chain and freed the PTFE tube, as it often crashed on the side and the filament path was way to restricted. If they open up firmware, I will keep it. Apart from drag chain and filament path, I really like the printer.

It’s best to clean the heat bed after each time you finish a print, the only time I don’t, is when the new print is not going to print across the surface where the print before was.

Yeah, the slicer software is no fun at all. I've noticed that some of the changes that you make to settings won't carry over into the gcode and the slicer will send over it's defaults.

Nothing I did in the settings would send over the gcode with the correct temperature. I had to edit the gcode manually in order for the printer to print at the temp that I wanted.

Yeah the gluestick is, the reason is the same for the bambu x1c. Because it's an enclosed machine the ambient temps have the potential to be too high due to the bed being at your normal pla or petg temps so they use a surface with a lot more adhesion so they can run the bed temp lower, the side effect is you need gluestick for a release film. It's the same bed size as the ender 3 though so any surface for that will work on this if you don't plan on printing a lot of PLA.

Give the K1 6 months like the x1 carbon has had. Everyone appears to have such short memories over the x1c and p1p teething issues. The k1 at half the price could end up being a better printer when the software is ironed out. There is also more potential of creality opening if the software on the k1.

I cancelled my K1 pre-order and bought the X1C + AMS, and the doubled price is worth every cent. I love my X1C. The K1 is just a fancy-looking copycat. Creality took nearly one year to reverse-engineer the X1 and couldn't even copy it 100%.

Yup, that is exactly what I am doing. Better have one working printer than two piles of trash.
