That 600 mm a second test print came out so well because it has no sharp corners. It's very specifically designed to reduce acceleration as much as possible so there's no chance for artifacting or ringing. Anytime you introduce sharp corners anywhere it's going to create much more opportunity for these things to happen. The reality is though that pretty much any actual model is going to have sharp corners so whereas the built-in 600 mm per second print is fun to see it's not indicative of any sort of practically attainable results at those speeds.

JJ, great vid. Been very anxious to see this printer. Great overview and I can't wait to see how they tune it and make it better. Knowing Creality and the open source nature of the Ender series, I hope the community is given the opportunity and can mod the K1 similarly for sound, print settings, etc.

Nice review. This felt a lot more thorough than the other videos already availale about it. Interestingly that first layer was also an issue on the k1's other people got. So that might be an issue with all of them.

The speed test squiggle model has no corners, so keeping the speed and quality is easy. I'd like to see it printed at the limit of a V6 hot end on a Marlin based machine.

P1P has a LAN only mode these days so the uploading to the cloud is not necessary. You can also put it on an SD card just like you would for the k1 (except SD card instead of USB drive)

I am happy for you that your channel grew that good already. You derserve it.

Voron inspired Bambu Labs, Bambu Labs inspired Creality. I love it.

Awesome video! I have been so excited about this printer. Thank you for the video and review.

There are two different options for offline printing on the BL printers. You can choose lan only mode and then print from the slicer directly to the printer or you can just take the SD card out put the file on it stick it back in the printer and print it from there just like on any old printer. Your last file printed is the plate1.gcode file on the SD card so you can at least reprint the last one you sent to it through the cloud or local lan.

I'm waiting for fast prints.

Nice overview JJ. Looking forward to getting mine and comparing the prints directly with the P1P

What about linear advance and input shaping in the stock firmware? Is anything of this working inside K1? As I understand firmware in K1 is something more complex than marlin in Ender 3 printers?

You can reprint things you've printed before, but just the last file sent to the P1P. If you go to files in the SD card menu, you just select "bb1.3mf" and it will print the last file produced.

hi JJ, thanks for the nice video. does the K1 support M0 or M600 pause commands? relevant for the "Pause at Layer" or similar options in various slicers. also what nozzle type is used ?

I love this review format!

Great comparison 👌 But there is one thing: you can activate the local mode for the p1p. In this way you don’t need the cloud anymore.

The lightbar and the camera for the P1P is already included for the models they ship now. You can also order it for free if you bought one in the past.

For those that wonder, like me: The vase is Dodecananas vase on printables! ;-)

Any issues with it? Can you push it a little bit with longer prints from original usb?

The first decent review of this printer, thanks for your review do you have direct full access to klipper and can you change its config files? what is the size and threads of the nozzles? can you screw normal volcano nozzles? is the parts cooling fan sufficient for high speed printing? i mean 200 - 600 mm/sec what is the thickness of the printing bed and did you noticed any warping? are the x steel rods using bushings or bearings?

I'd really like to see some info about the P1P, X1C, Mk4, and K1 printing their 'best' at whatever speed that ends up being. Its all well and good to crush it for speed, but when I'm actually printing, I want a 100% success rate with a great quality print as fast as possible but no faster.. finding that happy medium with various filaments is obviously a bit of work, but pick a few 'normal' filaments and compare if you could!?!?

Why not print in K1 and P1P in same time?

the video is awesome, great reviews, definitely wanna get a creality K1 after watching this!

im curious what the web UI is like im currently using sonic pad is it simlar to klipper? also the creality site says it has ethernet were is that situated on the printer ?

It's kind of funny with the MK4 upgrade.. it's almost more wasteful than buying a new machine. You need to replace up to 90% of your MK3S parts. So up to 90% of a printer sits in pieces and might get thrown out, vs buying a whole MK4 and having a whole functional MK3S leftover for someone else to keep using.

Hello, would you also make a video with the exchange of the Hotend? I am interested in how it is structurally solved.

Great Video!!! I truly enjoyed this review.

Hi, JJ. May I ask how to use K1 to print a temperature tower. I tried to slice on cura for my Ender3 s1 pro, but I couldn't find parameters for K1..

I used it for a while, and it was a good experience. This printer is fantastic. It arrived well-packaged and was printing the demo files within minutes.

What filament and where did you get that vase stl?? That was beautiful!

Can you change the K1 firmware to klipper?

Can you get a plate to be able to print Carbon Fiber Nylon? What nozzle does it take?

Hey what about the nozzle diameter and can we change the nozzle? I've seen no one talk about it so far

The reason that the curvy wall printed well is that there is not a single corner! Make a similar print test with no curves and all corners, especially corners of less than 90 degrees and watch how you will get skipping and layer shifting!!! Fun, fun, fun

How does it handle CF filaments?

If the Bambu cloud service goes down you can print through the LAN option which is just as easy.

This is the best review so far for sure. Really shows what taking a little extra time can do. Not really trying to knock anyone else, but it seems like your opinion was pretty honest and you definitely showed some of the flaws or less than perfect aspects of the machine. Will be interesting to see if your nozzle has any issues like The Real Sam Prentice just had. I also think it's funny that K1 tests so far have really ended up being marketing for Creality Hyper PLA, hahaha. I think this shows you are getting a lot for your money, but you are also getting what you pay for of course, not that that's automatically a bad thing. Good stuff!

Is it worth waiting for the Max version?

help me pls.. why i print error model, bro teach me edit in normal 0.2mm (creality slice)

Thanks for a great review. Could you review the Proforge 4?

Could you explain why is DC heated bed safer than AC? Because 24V AC is completely safe to touch with bare hands.

I have had it for 3 days. 4 prints and nothing but clogging. I want to replace the whole hotend/carriage. Not sure if I'll need to replace the board, if so, screen as well I guess.

But what kind of firmware does it mount? Klipper? Also is it open source? Thank you

What is extruder max temperature? This printer looks really nice, but I would like to buy max version. It is quite cheap.

Can I put bambo ams to k1?

With the p1p you can use just Lan or eternet and bypass the cloud or just use the SD card

JJ, I can't speak directly to the P1P, but Bambu Slicer has had the ability to send sliced files to the printer for some time now. To do this on my X1C, the printer gets put in LAN only mode, and then so long as the printer and computer are on the same network, you can upload directly to the printer's SD card. Prints have to be manually started at the printer end, though, and the camera view is not available in LAN only mode, but it IS possible.

Can you transfer the file with Wi-Fi? Can you talk about the App on the phone please? One reviewer said you have to what loads of adds, and also bekomme a lot of notifications with adds.

Could you post a link to the vase you showed us?

I have the Sermoon D1, and the chrome steel rails it has have not even shown a scratch.

Might be a bit too early to ask this, but for monofilament printing quality of print wise, P1P or k1?

Thank you for the video. Do you know if it work with the creality sonic pad ??

Any plans reviewing the Kingroon KLP1? Looks like the race to the bottom has begun.

I preordered specifically for TPU prints 😩 would you be able to do a follow up??

They need to hire Chep to create them awesome profiles

finally a decent K1 review, the other youtubers have been releasing serious garbage

Given what I already own for printers... I will wait until this product is a bit more mature. It does seem like a good investment thought. Christmas deals should be worth the wait.

30 min for a benchy? what kind of a benchy you guys print?? I can do one with my i3 mega in 46 min so what goes?

I’m getting the max and plan to add a buildplate from cr10 pro v2, as its the best buildplate they have made imo.

So glad I watched this! I was super interested in this, but I have to keep it in the corner of a room so the volume would be too much for me

need video test comparaison Prusa XL VS Bamboo Carbon

Great review. The Design reminds me of Flashforge printers (and bambu of course but Flashforge has been around for long) Have you ever reviewed Elegoo machines? They are better known for resin but their FDM printers are very affordable and great quality

When you have shifting layers its because the belt isn't tight enough for how fast the stepper motor gears are moving their skipping teeth cuz of the acceleration is to high for the belt tension

Did you use any bed adhesives (glue,spray or anything)

So creality has input shaping before Prusa??? Huh

The door gap could an air inlet, otherwise the back fan would nothing to pump out

the only way i could get my p1p to print tpu is setting it to 245c and running at 50% speed

I want to see a multi-filament printer from Creality.

Awesome solid review !!!

My printer shipped!

😯 neat .well I would love it if you would review Voxelab Aquila X3 FDM 3D Printer.

Ein sehr interessantes Gerät, das ich gekauft habe und auf das ich noch warte.

⌐_⌐ So you can have AC to the power supply, into a bridge rectifier, buck regulator, and then powering the DC bed... but that identical AC voltage used in the bed is a bridge too far?

This is a breakthrough for creality. I hope their products will do better and give me more choices😏

I'm leaning towards the p1p now

I never used cloud in p1p. Only lan mod. Uploaded very fast. Every day printing.... Never have a problem with the printer.

seeing the artifacts, it'd be nice if you could do some testing for VFA's

Carbon is very abrasive. I would suggesting getting a full rod and linear bearing set on hand to rebuild the Bambu when the time comes. Great printer, I purchased one but lets be realistic.

It might be disengenious to list the P1P price as $700 here considering that you frequently mention that the main thing it has over the K1 is the AMS (which I believe costs signifyingly more, right?)

I really missed a 1 to 1 comparison with the same speeds same filament and same model in 3 most popular filaments

I hear you on the Ender-5 S1. The test unit I received was definitely not ready for primetime. The acceleration was set way too high out of the box, the UI is incomplete and cluttered, and it didn't have a recent version of Marlin with Input Shaping or even S-Curve Acceleration to cut down on the vibrations. We have a PR on the Marlin project to get the machine supported, but there are a lot of customizations scattered around that we need to sort out, and we really need to fix up that UI, especially the ability to print files inside of subfolders. Hopefully we'll get that sorted out before 2.1.3 release or shortly thereafter. As for the K1 … of course it's not running Marlin so we won't be getting our own test unit anytime soon, but we are taking a lot of inspiration from this CoreXY with light printhead and high-flow hotend, and should be able to bring more budget machines up to par with some of its advanced features, especially with the addition of high-flow hotends and even more advanced Input Shaping on the horizon. Good review! and I look forward to your followup after more usage.

Would u recommend as a first printer?

Everyone loved the Ender 5S1, JJ didnt... I got the Ender 5S1 anyways had so many problems Creality ruled it defective and gave me my money back... Lots of lost sleep not needed had I just listened to JJ...

You fr=orgot about Qidi new printers? they are in same price range too, X-Plus 3 have some issues, but they will realease updated version next month.

there is a 600 euro diverens in printers if i want a p1p its wil cost me 1100 in the netherlands k1 is only 600

Thanks for the great review... P.S.: If you did some actual multicolor printing on the AMS, you wouldn't love it so much anymore! ;-) 2 minutes for a filament swap is simply ridiculous, and you need to do that up to THREE times on every single layer! So if you have a 10cm object in 0.2mm layers with 4 colors over the full height, it spends 2 days and 2 hours simply just swapping filament!

The awkward moment when the whole K1 is cheaper than the MK4 upgrade kit

Applause to you. The most satisfying, full of really helpful informations to choose what's your next printer going to be. I was going to change my mind about K1 and go for bambulab... After you showcase bambulab as well changed my mind back to k1... K1 max hopefully... Few upgrades and you have the perfect printer with the best price Really amazing review.

Yuo need to test the retraction limits of the extrusor , thats yuo limit in a complex print and the plastic yuo use , some plastics can be cooled making super speed a no go

TPU needs to be printed slowly, and the 🌡has to be finetuned within few C. Retraction has to be kept to a min. and dialed spot-on, could easily strip filament to lose grip. Apart from this, the filament path needs to be very tight, with right amount of force on extrusion. Have done that with the world's most flex. filament(AtomStack 60A TPR)successfuly on a lulzbot mini with flexstruder!❤👍

Software update removed the artifacts on my k1 by the way.

why is your mic audio panned all the way to the left! its very weird to listen to. I first thought my audio was broken, but its just this video

Bambulab now has "LAN only mode", so connection to internet requirement is no longer an issue.

A bit of clarification needed for Bambu, the machines have had local control for a few updates now, no internet required

You would take safety over a little bit FASTER time. (you said slower) lol sorry had to bud! You got a new sub by the way! Like you style of videos. Proud new owner of a S1 pro as of today! looking forward to learning!

When you say default printing profile for TPU, do you mean a default TPU profile, or did you try and use a PLA profile with TPU…

There isn’t a safety issue with a high voltage bed unless you are cutting the ground pin on your power cord. A fault will trip your breaker. This is no different than using a toaster or air fryer.

Why would 24v bed be safer? The printer are ac… 24v give higher loads on the psu meaning that if they cheap out on the psu (which we all know they do, since a really good psu are expensive) it is a higher risk of fire then running it of ac power. Way less amperage on a ac bed compared to a dc bed. I have run booth type of beds for years. Doing either of them right are just as safe.

Yuo need to dry first the tpu

Definitely more likable than half finished panelless p1p, Im getting k1 max sometime this year. Great work Creality, hope you give us way to flash stock klipper
