This is my 2nd Creality K-1. It’s working Fantastically! I’m using the Creality Print interface, and even that’s working Great!
This 100 pound stone is absorbing all of the vibrations the K-1 generates quite well also. At this point I feel like this is a far better printer than the first one I received, almost as good as my X-1 Carbon!

I just got mine and it was having issues with extruding and I went to take off the extruder and I turned it back on. POOF a big flame and the machine died. I am getting my money back or a new unit. Glad to see yours is still working.

You took apart the extruder and then turned it back on and it started a fire? How did you see the flame btw, the psu and board is under the machine, where did the flame come out? Usually a flame on the board or psu is like 2 inches tall max

The speed of the K1 comes at a cost. I have one of these printers on a sturdy oak shelf to minimize the momentum.

@kyleblair5004 6 ай бұрын

Hard to say for sure from the video but I think it may be prudent to check a few things. I have a K1 max that made some really gnarly noises when I got it and there were a couple mechanical issues that needed to be addressed. 1. the lube that Creality uses is absolute garbage. I switched to a CV axle lube with moly and it made an enormous difference. I have heard lithium works well, too but I haven't tried it yet. 2. the XY guide rails may be out of alignment. You can loosen them off from the chassis with minimal disassembly and then move the print head across the X and Y axis a few times by hand and tighten them back up. 3. Check belt tension. Creality basically ruined the adjusters on mine during assembly so I had to make some modifications but that helped as well. My printer is VERY quiet now.

Basically, I've done everything you mentioned, more than once. The K1 is still a noisy monster. I also have a K Max, and it's loud too, but not as much. I've got both machines rooted not, but I'm thinking of going back to "Creality" firmware.

I'm just wondering... I saw the same solution from an audiophile friend to limit the vibration of the loudspeakers to the floor. He also (apart from using floor spikes under the loudspeakers) puts a heavy plate under the loudspeakers, but made of granite instead of concrete. Moreover, he also places an additional granite slab on the loudspeakers to reduce vibrations. I think this might make sense 🤔

@corlissmedia2.0 7 ай бұрын

The vibrations coming from the speaker are the sound you want to hear. Putting weight on the box would dampen them. The concrete paving tile under all three of my printers absorbs the motion of the machine.

@Kali_Kali 7 ай бұрын

@@corlissmedia2.0 I mean the idea. As I see, the higher the table is (i.e. the center of gravity as well), the more the entire K1 structure wobbles and plays. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that a heavy slab, e.g. of concrete or granite on top, could stiffen the K1 and reduce these vibrations. When I buy the Creality K1, I will check it out. Of course, with 3D prints and filament, where the manufacturer recommends placing the cover on top 🙂 The inertia of the entire K1 structure should also increase.

Buy the P1P, it's priced equal to the Max right now. Bambu Labs has their act together. Creality steals everyone else's ideas and does support them when they throw up on your work. Plus, the Bambu gear is far quieter. Your wife will love that. And Bambu Labs is releasing great updates that actually work versus crashing your Creality Gear. With the P1P you can print your own exterior panels to make it quieter. @@Kali_Kali

@slicedpage 6 ай бұрын

I am so glad I did not buy the K1 even with a concrete slab it is still too noisy for me. I think that you have to encase the whole machine in concrete and drop it in a pond to reduce that level of noise. LOL

@corlissmedia2.0 6 ай бұрын

Actually, you have to remove the left side panel, loosen the screws that hold the frame square, then move the print head back and forth and side to side a couple of times. Then you have to tighten the screw again, replace the panel, and all should be improved. Replacing the print head with MicroSwiss's improved print head is also a good idea.

You might try having it on the floor. It's hard for a printer to rock an entire floor. If you live in an apartment, and it's of newer construction, under the flooring is shotcrete / concrete underlayment. That's like a stone times 10!
