So 6 months later... I've be using the K1 Max NON-stop! Not only that, but I've purchased 3 more to add to my print farm!
So after that amount of time and usage, has anything changed from my initial review?

For those like me who have zero experience with this printer, may I ask what happened that caused the glass door to break? Perhaps knowing that can assist those of us considering buying this printer so we know what to watch out for and avoid disaster. So please, if you don't mind, what happened or was done that caused the door to shatter? Thanks in advance.

@Sytron- 3 ай бұрын

@@BlondieSLIt's tempered glass, the edges of the glass are the weakest point of the glass. If something with a high enough hardness hits the edge it will break and "shatter" into tiny pieces. For example a piece of metal hitting the glass on the edge can break it without a ton of force. Just be careful not to hit the edge of the glass.

How is it for TPU? Especially the softer of the TPUs, like below 85 or so. I use a very soft TPU that it literally like wet spaghetti. The junk printer that I have, at first, handled it very well. Partly because I have the filament mounted on the top rail, so there's some gravity feed helping it get to the direct drive extruder. I realize that most printers can handle TPU that is stiffer, like about 85 or 90 even. But many cannot handle the software stuff. Are you able to let me know how well it handles that? Thanks in advance.

@jedispidey 3 ай бұрын

Sorry didn't see this earlier. I have not tried TPU through it. Sorry no help.@@BlondieSL

@BlondieSL 3 ай бұрын

@@jedispidey Perhaps, if/when I'm ready to buy a K1 Max, I could bring some of my soft TPU to the store, with some object .stl and have the guys slice and print it to prove that this soft stuff will work. I'm more concerned about such a long travel though the PTFE tube. Almost like a bowden tube (kinda is, I guess). At least with my current printer, the spool sits on the top rail and the filament just "falls" down, directly into the direct drive spooler. Other than a 4" PTFE guide, there's no other resistance introduced. With the K1, if it happens to suck with softer TPU filaments, then that's a definite deal breaker. Thanks for the info, Jedi. I appreciate it.

Love your content. Watched this video while printing on my K1 max. Love mine as well. Agreed its a true workhorse. I switched fully to the PEI plate but went third party to save a few bucks. I print mostly PETG followed by PLA, followed by PLA Silk. PETG sticks to the PEI plate amazing well. PLA and silk do too but you have to rub the PEI plate after each use with alcohol and a 0000 Steel Wool pad. Then I get zero issues between prints.

You are so lucky! I wish that I could say that. My 1st and only printer, I got a few years ago. It's a stupid Wanhao Duplicator 9, MK2 400. For the first 1.5 years, it was pretty much useless. Constant failed prints and I really knew nothing about 3D printers or even what to look for. Once I finally found my confidence, I resolved all the problems these things have. At least now, I get good prints and consistently. But this K1 MAX is really catching my eye! I think, at some point, I'm just going to get one.

Motherboard shutting down ,clicking noises from belts, heat bed level was super warped even after heat soaking. Going to return. Hoping they get it right with the next gen of the Max. For almost 1k there should be no excuse for bad QC. Maybe you should do one of those anonymous purchase videos like LTT or Gamer Nexus does with PC's to see if they are hand picking the models they send reviewers.

I do love my k1 max. I upgraded to the high flow hot end from microswiss and it’s a beast now! Prints ABS beautifully now

@BlondieSL 4 ай бұрын

How easy/difficult was it to upgrade to that hotend? When you upgraded, did you have to tweak anything in firmware to make it work right? Or, is it literally plug-and-play? Also, if it's easy, is there any reason to switch back and forth to the orig. hotend to print PLA PETG and soft TPU?

@priority3d 4 ай бұрын

@@BlondieSL was very easy to swap. Took maybe 10 minutes was all. No firmware issues. Just recalibrated the printer and let it do its thing.

@BlondieSL 4 ай бұрын

@@priority3d Sounds good. As I do not know this printer, what is the recalibration procedure? Is it a laborious process or just a menu option and let it go? Also, I should ask, would upgrading to Micro Swiss FlowTech™ Hotend solve this problem? Also, in using the FlowTech, is it also ok for PLA, PETG and soft TPU? Or would one have to swap out original with the Swiss?

@priority3d 4 ай бұрын

@@BlondieSL the stock hot end works perfectly fine. It will print all of those materials just fine. The only thing I think needs to happen with TPU is printed straight into the end and not through the bowden tube. if you swap in one of these hot ends, you don’t need to flip-flop back-and-forth. The calibration is just a couple of push buttons on the screen and it does the rest.

@BlondieSL 4 ай бұрын

@@priority3d Thank you. Good tip about the soft TPU bypassing the bowden tube. For clarity, the "bowden" tube is just the PTFE tube but the extruder is direct drive, right? Also, just for curiosity, when you talk about the stock hot end, are you specifically referring to the "newer, updated' version? The guy at the store told me that many months ago, with the original hotend, there were problems. But that the new machines all have a new design of the hotend that doesn't have the issues that the old one had. Is that what you mean? I just got off the phone with the store and I'm like 85% leaning to go buy this thing today. In our talks, I asked about using Cura instead of Creality Print. The woman I walked to instantly suggested to NOT use Cura as many have problems with it and this printer. Mostly due to the differences between Marlin (like my printer has) and Klipper. I can understand that. She suggested stick with Creality Print for now and if I really want more control, perhaps try Ocra. I do understand that to use Ocra, there's some hoops to jump through to get it to work with this printer. I'll have to research this. So if you're saying that the stock hotend is just fine, then perhaps I'll not buy the Swiss FlowTech one today. I can save a few bucks. LOL

I got super lucky with mine, it was 732 Euros after a 50 Euro coupon on eBay - printed a mandalorian helmet and a republic commando helmet.

It's really the only option if you want a new-generation fast printer, with the build volume that the max has. There's just nothing in its class.

Been considering this printer for 6 months and planning to buy it in a few months Hey frank are you still going to mcm Comic-Con this year in London?

How does this compare to a Kobra Max 2? I know the Kobra 2 has a 400x400x500 volume... so it might be more useful? I am in between these two, I know the K1 has better quality but I really want that extra volume!

Hey Frank. I've been working on my own MK85 Iron Man Helmet, and I'm on the electronics stage. I've been watching some of your old tutorials on the motorization of the MK85, and I noticed on Part 3, you mentioned that the chunky cords and battery back have to hang in your shirt using elastics. Is this necessary for the helmet to open itself? I want to be able to wear the helmet and make it open without anything hanging. Is this possible? Please let me know. Thank you!

Getting back into 3D printing after a couple of years away from it and wow things have changed! I'm tossing up between a P1S or a K1 Max, ideally I want a printer that will just come out of the box and print with little to no fiddling but it seems they are both just as good as each other! Greetings from the UK, hopefully see you in London in May 😎

I've been pondering the same thing between the two. I can't get an answer from anyone really. One youtuber did say the Bambu Lab was more reliable and more of an out of the box printer.

@@guitarflyer172 that's basically the same information as I have been getting. I had CR-10S's and I spent the majority of the time tinkering and fixing rather than printing which is what I don't want. I these 2 printers are much of a muchness in that they do pretty much the same thing, but maybe the Bambu with it's proprietary hardware and software are a little bit ahead of Creality? I think I'm ultimately going to go with a P1S to get back to printing as I've missed it dearly, with then a view to getting a K1 Max or similar later on in the year. I say similar because I'm sure we're going to see a fair few more printers coming out over the next 12 months

Love my K1-Max's. I originally purchased a Bambo X1 Carbon, however the day Creality introduced the K1 Max I quickly sold the X1 Carbon and purchased 2 x K1 Max's, and I couldn't be any happier with the choice I made. Compared to the X1 Carbon when I had it, I've not yet had a single problem with my K1's.

@@808GTPlease explain why you say that. There are those of us out here who are considering buying the K1 Max and would want to know both the pros and the cons. For me, ESPECIALLY the cons so I would know, in advance, what to look for, avoid and expect. I'd appreciate your opinion as it seems, just by 1 word, you may not think that this printer is problem-free. Thanks in advance.

Dude awesome. So k1max is awesome and orca slicer is the best. I shall begin orca tutorials immediately. Still keen on multicolour printing though so P1S is top of my list. Review on P1P/S vs K1max coming?

@FranklyBuilt 4 ай бұрын

P1P vs k1 max will never happen. 2 very different sizes and purposes
