One of the outstanding features of this review is her willingness to print some models over again with slight adjustments and most models printed with the same materials from different manufacturers. She also covered a wide spectrum of available filament compositions. 😊The total amount of time that was spent preparing this review was absolutely amazing. This produced a very unemotional and complete review.

I remember when her head was barely above her work bench table

There are tons of other 3d printing channels out there, but Aurora Tech is the best. Unbeatable!

Love the fact that you only gave facts and not feelings. So many people inject their feelings into their reviews making their results seem like they are the results of every machine with the same name when in reality they just either didn’t use the machine properly or got a machine with some issues. I feel like the view you represent is scientific and very, very useful. You neither wrote it off nor endorsed it, you just told it as it was. Thank you!

Nothing but the facts . Clear thinking analyses . Excellent print/printer comparisons . Vastly more informative than the majority of 3d printer channels. Professional. Subscribed

A head to head comparison between the K1 Max and the Qidi X-Max 3 would be nice, with the exact same filament and layer heights.

This is the kind of KZfaq video I remember from around 2010-2014 that I would put on and fall asleep to every night. I always learned something, and it was so peaceful. Thank you so god damn much for making this. I will be a subscriber and supporter of yours for a long, long time.

i love your reviews....straight to the point without any fluff that other reviewers have

That was a great and detailed printer review. Thank you. I am now subscribed.

Thank you. Your reviews are consistently the most thorough and informative. I appreciate the effort you put into testing all of the features and capabilities, including a variety of filaments.

Thank you for the review and detailed testing! Also i love your hair! Suits you well 😊

no one will mention it, but great looking hair. I've been waiting on this review! thank you!

So glad I found this channel. This was the clearest, most informative review I've come across. Thank you.

One of the best review videos I watched. Honest, straightforward, clean. Thanks!

Absolutely THE BEST review. Comprehensive. Subscribed.

Creality finally listened to you and included the high temp nozzle! We all thank you!

Definitely a very helpful review. I had thought when you reviewed the smaller model that it was an interesting options, but I wanted that bigger print volume. And while it very much seems that the hardware still has a way to go to truly fulfil it's potential, I'm still a couple months out from the cash I intended to use to pay for it anyway. So hopefully, in those extra weeks the firmware will come to match the potential. I'll still be giving all the options a good look closer to purchase time, but you've definitely helped me narrow and refine the options. Great work. Really glad I found your channel. Nice and informative with a good list of pros and cons while acknowledging the ever changing nature of the space. It still seems that the Bambuu has the premium feature set crown in this category. But as all I want to do is print my own collectibles, I don't need all the bells and whistles. A shame that it can be cheaper to buy these sorts of machines than to buy legit licensed collectibles from some of the fandoms I love. But what a world we live in where it's possible to make your own.

Great review, I always look forward to your analysis and comments.

You have the BEST reviews!!! Thank you and keep up the great job!!!

just found your channel, what a fantastic review, clear and very informative. Loved all the tests you did with different material. looking forward to watching more of your content.👍👍👍👍👍👍

I really think that this is one of the most best review video i have ever seen in my life. That's so cool

One of the best channels about 3D printing. I'm pleased with the frequency of new videos being released

another great video! really liked how you called out Creality to get things going :D

Finally! A detailed review. Thank you for putting out the quality videos with awesome information!

this is the perfect type of review, just facts, a lot of facts. clear statements, , no distracting side stories.

You have a pleasant voice and gave me a lot of great information, thank you. Especially for the 13:53 comparison shot. Really making me think about the bottom 2 as the machines I want to pursue.

Excellent review with all the info I needed.

A great review tinged with very controlled disdain. Thank you for standing straight up to the challenge.

Thx. I really appreciate that you used the Sunlu sponsored filament in comparison with other filaments. Great review as usual, especially as I am in the market for an enclosed “it just works” printer. I think I just settled on P1S with AMS thanks to your recent reviews!

Thanks for this review. You did high quality test and review. Thank you much for that.

Holy smokes! Will be linking people to your amazing video when I post mine. So indepth!

Thank you! Like always awesome reviews , straight to the point!

Also, put the heat bed temperature to 60c. I was told this by a manager at Jaycar, they sell Creality printers. He is printing models in the shop that you wouldn’t believe unless you saw them. He bought 2 K1’s and a K1 Max for himself, they run 24/7. I live in Perth Western Australia. Cheers

Excellent review, to the point without fluff.

Always enjoy your very well put together reviews. Hopefully you get a chance to review the new kingroon KLP1 soon

Very comprehensive review well done

Great review as always :).

A very concise and helpful review.

I was initially very enthused about the K1 Max, although I suspected the lidar was added by the Creality marketing department rather than the engineering department, so it would compare favorably with the Bambu Lab X1C on a features comparison chart, and your review seems to confirm that. Hopefully, lidar will be fully enabled in a future firmware upgrade to become a useful feature. I'm convinced that I want to upgrade to a Klipper 3D printer but my only justification for the large build volume is to be able to print multiple copies per batch for a small print farm. I'd like to get back to printing ABS but at this point, I should probably convert my ABS parts to PETG and get a non-enclosed bed slinger for the lower cost, reliability and ease of maintenance. In practice, I mostly print TPU so I'm not going to benefit much from a high speed printer. I'd like Klipper for the input shaping that will hopefully allow TPU printing at the maximum material flow rate while improving print quality. I also want Klipper so I can print over WiFi rather than shuffling a micro SD card. I'm now looking to the newer Klipper bed slingers from Sovol and Elegoo.

Great review again. Thanks for the info.

You guys are the best ! Your perceptions and analyses really impress anyone ! You guys are the reference today for reviewing 3D printers!

Another great video. I like the channel more every video. Keep on trucking. I enjoyed your school speech. Can wait to see your high school grade speech.

Very good review, thank you.

The depth of this review just might point to Creality using you and your team to provide a 'sanity check' of what they have done to date. Most of the cons you present will likely be sorted in a release or two. I await your final judgement before buying this printer for my prototype parts for robotic projects.

I love this channel!

Excellent! Thank you Aurora tech.

Hi Aurora. Your hair is just lovely!!! Keep with de good work! From Brazil with love...

I am convinced I will get a Creality K1. Great tutorial!

I would love to see you adding a 0.1mm and 0.05mm benchy prints (slowing down the print speeds as needed of course) to see how the printers handle that resolution. Being able to print at 0.05mm would be a BIG advantage to a printer! My old FLSun Super Racer (after some light mods) was able to print at 0.05mm absolutely perfectly, and I was actually working on printing evn lower with a 0.25mm nozzle but I had to sell it sadly. Anyway good work as always!

a great, detailed video with lots of example prints! loved the video i would love to see a review on the neptune 4 pro/plus! i'm currently trying to decide between that or the k1 max

Sunlu PLA CF is not as stiff as Hatchbox PLA CF, but less than half the price when ordered in bulk. It works well for high heat print and produces very good quality surfaces. Very good for high temp prints that can vary from high to low speed.

Another great review! I like the AI LiDAR calibration system, I know it did not really work in your tests but I'm sure they'll fix that soon.

thats a lot of hard work and printing.

I had a feeling when the K1 and K1 Max were announced that the K1 Max would ultimately be a better printer. At that time, it was because it offered a key advantage Bambu Lab has so far been unwilling to pursue and that Prusa has only done with the XL: a build volume large enough for 90% of users to print anything they want. Now? The AC-powered bed alone is reason enough to consider the K1 Max over the K1, but the other features (assuming Creality releases better firmware to actually take advantage of the LIDAR) are pretty nice as well. Are these things an extra $300 nice? Maybe. It seems to me that while the K1 is to the X1 Carbon what the Ender 3 was to the Prusa Mk3 (a mostly-capable and dramatically cheaper copy), the K1 Max is more of a proper standalone entry into the high-end hobbyist printing market. Which is a bit of a departure for Creality, if you don't count their previous (and awful) attempts at getting fancy like the Ender 7 and Sermoon D1. Is this a revolutionary machine? No, but it combines enough good features from other printers that it reasonably stands on its own against competition from Bambu Lab, Qidi, and others. I'll be a little suspicious of Creality as long as they continue to be non-compliant with Klipper licensing rules and as long as Creality Cloud exists in its current form, but on its own merits the K1 Max looks pretty impressive. The ultimate questions I still have about the K1 and K1 Max are with regards to user serviceability, availability of 3rd party parts, and ease of modding/upgrading. While the Ender 3 and Ender 5, for example, practically ship with a sign saying "bolt a bunch of new parts on me," the more refined design of the K1/K1 Max frame leave behind an impression of being less friendly to tinkering.

AMAZING REVIEW.

Great video! Thankyou!

Great in-depth review as always guys this printer should be really ready in about 3 months so they can work out any kinks. XD

I've recently purchased one of these and be aware they have excessive VFA's. I am debating returning it because this quality defect is just not acceptable to me. This appears to be inherent to the design of the printer (and most other corexy printers) however, it seems Creality did nothing to mitigate it. As the stock input shaping out of the box has problems. First,it only runs input shaping on one axis and copies it to the other. You can root and create a Klipper macro that enables both but it did not help me much. In addition there appears to be something wrong with the X axis and damping springs they used on the gantry. People smarter than me have tried replacing the springs with stiffer springs but im not sure how much it helps. The K1 community just tells you to print faster. It all comes down to what you print, if you print highly ornate, large objects, at a fast speed, you will not notice these VFA's. If you try to print functional parts with large flat sides and it has to slow down below 300mms you will see the belts toothed pattern imprinted on the side of your print.

Bought my own K1`Max yesterday, cant wait for it to arrive, no more cutting op pieces that are to big for my Ender 3

great review!! it will better if u include like a tweak version of your own setting as most prints from these are only at default, thus it will be a great comparison from default to test quality and speed.

I’m sure you’ve already got this in the works, but I would love to see a review of the Elegoo Neptune 4 or 4 Pro. Your reviews are so detailed!

❤ such a cute hairstyle 😊

Woot, new sponsor! ❤

好喜歡這位小姐姐的娓娓道來，不偏不倚 詳實且充滿了經驗。我喜歡……❤❤❤ 謝謝小姐姐的節目！

17:04 Amazing it never failed with that make printed on it :)

Another great review. Thanks. I'm not sure why the filament would load from the back. That's a really bad idea.

Good detailed review with valid criticism!!! 🖒@Aurora

Can you make a video on the P1S? Heard that the K1 has had a few problems so would like to hear your opinion on The Best Value fully-enclosed High-Speed ​​3D Printer (Regular Size). If you change your mind. Now that P1S is here. Super videos😊

Greaty video, very complete about K1s, i have one K1 Max, and in this moment we have less information about it and your problems and solutions, maybe you will have a new videos about this, but your video is very good, greaty information , thanks for share

what I'd really like to see reviewed is the blackbox 3d printer as it seems like a competitor for the Prusa XL multi-head printer. Maybe you could get somebody to loan you theirs for the purpose. Side note: on your printer review page, it would be nice if you included a list of the names of the other printers you have evaluated, the ones that didn't make the grade into your top printer in category list.

Thank you for this video! A question:: Could it be that the printhead's guide chain is slipping on its guide rods, or does it only look that way?

Great review as always!!! I have a question. In the video around 8:52 you are printing at the full speed with regular pla instead of hyper pla. Do you use some special profile to do it and if so can you use any regular pla to achieve that? Thank you in advance and as always keep up to good work!!!

Well excellent review. I think I will stick with my X1 carbon. However the added volume is great. Thank you again. 💪😎

Good review, thank you! Was wondering about the internal memory of these devices because you brought up the limitations on Qidi X-Max. Is it possible to upgrade these machines by yourself, swapping in a bigger module?

I have had only problems with my K1 Max. It has become a worthless anchor in my shop. I have had many contacts with Creality and they are unable to make this printer work as advertised. I have over 24 printers and all of them work as advertised. This one has never worked as advertised. The Bambu Lab PS1 makes this printer seem really bad. I have never had a problem with the Bambu Lab, and I love my Creality printers so far. This K1 is not fully engineering "baked". The prints from the Bambu Lab are some of the best I have seen. Clean all the lines 'line up" and the print times are amazing. I have asked Creality for a refund or send it back for one that works.

Hi there! It would be great to get your feedback on the K1 Max after the firmware update that was released a week ago. Have that fixed the issues you adressed in this video? And propelled the K1 Max ahead of the X1 on your recommended list?

😊 Hey lil 1 which 1 is better the bamboo or this one of the K1 I'm not too familiar with it I am still looking to try to find a decent printer but there's so many out on the market and all of my knockouts or

How easy is it to swap the nozzles?

thanks for great review, do u still recommended this

Pros and cons of this printer versus the Qidi Max you recently reviewed? Which has better print quality? Which would you prefer?

I was wondering if the lidar feature was just advertizing. I would also be curious to know how well it will wear, thinking of those plastic extruder gears.

Is there a gen 2 version of this printer that comes with a textured PEI build plate?

I'm totally agree with all what she teling us, except extruder! Extruded needs to be upgraded, should be fixed for holding and pushing filament properly to the nuzzle!

Would be a good test to compare it to the X1C by running both at 500mm/s (X1C's max speed) to see if the 600mm/s is just too much or if it's firmware or tension tolerances

Great review but sadly my unit was defective. I think the bed was so warped that it could never complete the leveling process. It tried for over 10 hours! I decided that Creality still does not have adequate quality control. I got an RMA after a week of fighting with them. No refund has happened yet. More fun for next week. I have 3 Prusa mk3+ machines that just keep cranking out parts. I wanted the K1 Max to do the same. Didn't happen. Other KZfaq videos show the same problem that I had.

Auto bed levelling, wish I knew about this printer before I bought the S1 Plus about 2 months ago.

Спасибо за обзор. Я очень люблю твой канал. Очень правильно и по делу. Вы большие молодцы 👏👏👏 спасибо

Do you find a diminish in print quality having your printers in your garage? I've seen my garage temps up too 98 degrees F at some times.

Good hair day!

@1:10 Really strange that creality does fully automatic nozzle probing and qidi's latest machines still uses outdated manual offset with paper method.

I wish you would mention/show the print speed. especially when comparing the print time vs regular printers. I assumed you were printing at 600m/s but the creatity slicer speed bar did not looked maxed out so now im left with unknown variables.

For me the qidi is the Winner between k1max and xmax3. I dont know why there is not a comparsion with the qidi Lama. But Lidar and other stuff is nice that is build in but it doesnt Work from the Beginning. Its a beta tester printer for me. I will go with the qidi. Thank you for testing the Printers.

I’m thinking about getting this printer or the Bambu lab X1C.. the K1 is quite a bit cheaper but I want the best printer And I like printing tpu so which is the best

Hi , if you would like some warm air, we have been about 108-116 recently !!! (42 - 47) Thanks for the Great work and efforts.

Thank you for your review. On the Creality site, it states that the AI lidar measures the first layer and whether there is a problem with the first layer. They didn't mention anything about the print coming out well.

would you do a video about using the K1 Max with Orca Slicer ?

The best!!!!❤

great video. its on sale at microcenter for 200 bucks off! going to gets one.

If you turn the speed down to the same as the Prusa, would there be a quality difference for the output?

Hi! for someone thats only prints in PLA and PETG do you think the Ender 5 S1 is a good alternative to the K1 max? the ender 5 S1 is now at 372 euros in Europe! with a print height very similar to the k1 max (280mm). also, I can always get the sonic pad later on.
