Great review, I am planning on purchasing another machine this year, I'm just waiting to see how all this shakes out. The K1 is on the list, as well as the X1Carbon but a huge difference in price there, but the multi color ability is very cool. So until the decision I'll continue to use my old ender3, which still works. Thanks so much for sharing with us!!

I have the K1 and so far love it. Everyone complains of the fan noise. If you have a fan you have noise.The more air you move the more noise you have. My printer is in a room cooler than usual and I print with the top on and the noise is quite a bit less. If you can keep the chamber temperature below 30 degrees you will have no problems with any of the PLA filaments. That is my experience but like always results vary from person to person. Good printing.

Awesome revirew Guy, thank you for the video. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any suggestions on reducing the k1's noise? I don't mind reducing the speed if I can reduce the noise enough to use on my home office while in a meeting, for example. I tried reducing both side fan and model fan to 50% but it still is pretty loud. I tried a 75% model fan and 0% side fan setting but now the machine movements are too loud lol, even though I reduced speeds and acceleration D: Anyways, sorry for the rambling, thank you again for the honest review and for the tip about using a cht nozzle, I'm definitely upgrading mine with one.

My issue and only gripe is with the right side lead screw. I have about 1.44-1.46mm of play. Other than that haven’t had any issues with extrusion. Because of the play I’m unable to print

Is there a recommended process for cleaning dust/bugs out that may accumulate in a shop environment? I noticed this isn't a perfectly sealed unit so it'd definitely going to get dusty in there.

The link to Bondtech CHT Volcano Nozzle . Do you need the 0.4mm for the K1? Thanks!

Thank you! Finally a unbiased review😅 Will you be reviewing the K1Max?

I love mine too . I don`t use mine flat out , I don`t see the need , if you use it at a sensible speed , the print quality is AMAZING !

I just purchased one of these. I am wondering why the R is so messed up on the front. Did it come that way?

Anyone see a value of the CREALITY Sonic pad with a K1/K1max?

Have you tried printing overture PETG with that printer?

Nice review, Guy! I own the Bambu X1 Carbon with AMS along with 11 Artillery SWX2's that are in my print farm. Unfortunately, the build volume on the K1 is a deal breaker for me as it's just too small for what I print. My Sidewinders run on average at 150mm/s all day every day, and I easily get 300mm/s out of the X1C. This new generation of printers is quite a leap in technology from my SWX2's, which really aren't that old. I truly am looking forward to seeing what 3D printing is bringing in the future. While I don't think the K1 is quite there yet, they did hit about 85% of what the Bambu Labs P1P is, and as a hobbyist machine, it is definitely head and shoulders above what other manufacturers have to offer in the industry. As always, I look forward to your next video, and I'll be checking out your podcast!

I can't seem to find your p1p review though..

Other reviewers blamed the extruder for the under extrusion. Did all your problems go away when you changed to volcano nozzle?

How could I not follow you as my name is Guy too.

Please print some cf

Definitely not the winner over the bambu, but certainly adequate.

It's good that that nozzle makes the machine work, but I shouldn't have to spend an extra cent on a $700 machine( for me) to make it work as advertised! The 3d community needs to stop taking crap from the manufacturers, sure you might have bought an ender 3 for $100, but now we're talking machines up to and over $1000.

Guy, are you not woodworking anymore?
