ha, same, printed shims to level the bed and apart that have not done anything besides putting a CHT nozzle and it's been printing hundreds of prints with no failures at high speeds. Really hard to tell why some videos hate K1 or have troubles with it.

I got one less than 2 weeks ago. So worth it!

A1 is my 12th printer and it blows the K1 out the water, not always in speed, but in ease of use and reliability it's incredible. Especially on sale for £419 with AMS lite

I had an A1 with AMS lite prior to their recall, and it's pretty much perfect for PLA. Aside from it requiring quite a lot of desk space (without the top mount) the A1 is a pretty fantastic printer for those who care about "just printing". It's a bit slower than many of the core x-y printers, but not materially so. 10% to 20% extra print time is something you'll never worry about...and if you do you can often tweak the slicer configs to regain the time. Hopefully you're having fun with your new A1!

Were you one of the lucky 50% off guys? Lucky

Yep! I got it with 50% off on day one. It was actually hours after the sale started though. I was there from the start and saw it "sell out" instantly, but I kept refreshing and one came back in stock hours later and I grabbed that.

@@lornelorne5727 omg. I had it in my cart and never could get it to work :(

Same. I have an Ender 3 V3 SE, and I am thinking abt getting rid of it for this. I think I will just keep my SE tho… and buy the K1C…

Good luck to those that preordered the K2... I hope they don't need it thou.

@@ywsx6489 I can't believe people have preordered over 3 months ahead of time with zero reviews after what a mess the K1 was overall.

P1S.....or "P2S" if that will be their next release after their annual sale.

@@Denniss7420 I know the day after I buy one, they'll announce the next model. Might as well do it today :P

I’m in the same position.

Tbh the bed leveling issues on the k1c seem to be absolutely minimal in terms of the real world problems they cause, especially compared to the k1 max. But im with you in that if I get burned once buy a company, I'm not trusting them again, idgaf how much they've improved

No discussions as yet. I don't always get the new ones as I think some manufacturers may be wary of my complete honesty😬

@@RickyImpey yeah, some companies do want to get people that are more easily compelled to say nice things. I bought one at the 40% off. So will be getting to see how it is 1st hand.

They are both on sale right now. K1C for $415 USD on crealitys aliexpress store. P1S for $600 USD on bambus store. Not really but kinda in the same price tier. Here's a comparison: K1C advantages: - Open source firmware (some people couldn't care less, some people see it as absolutely essential) - Nice, large, easier to use touch interface - Camera is waaaaaay better - Comes with hardened nozzle (can buy hardened Nozzles for P1S, but it's an additional charge) - Replacement nozzles are way cheaper (since you don't have to buy the whole hotemd with it) - Bed temp gets hotter (both spec sheets say 100c, but K1C actually accepts gcode for 110-120c). This is a bigger deal than you may think, since some high temp materials do a little better with temps just over 100c P1S advantages: - Slightly better print quality (but i mean very slight, you probably wouldn't notice in practice) - Slightly better first layer (again, probably imperceptible in the real world) - Waaay better customer service - Supports bambu lab's excellent AMS multi material add on - Can actually get .2mm nozzles from OEM (with K1C you can get them if you upgrade to the microswiss hotend, but it's still annoying as hell that creality makes a proprietary nozzle then doesn't sell .2mm) - Quicker to change nozzles - Nozzle brush isn't attached to bed, so you can use double sided beds (K1C can fix this with easy mod) - Print volume is a little bigger (filament cutter cuts into print volume a little, but you can get around that when not using AMS, and anyways it's still a little bigger)

Oh just thought of one more advantage for the P1S. The Bambu smartphone app is better than the Creality one. Of course, you can just use a fluidd app for the K1C which would be way better, but theres one problem: you lose remote print monitoring. You can get around this by just using a vpn to tunnel to your home network, but beginners don't want to do that shit. Of course, that method would allow you to monitor prints remotely without your camera feed (which can potentially see inside of your house) going through some company's cloud, which some may see as a huge advantage. Also worth noting that the Bambu app has some other features you may or may not care about (and the Creality app does have most of those features tbf, but I just find that it's cluttered and unpleasant to use) I'm sorry that point was so intense lol, it's pretty nuanced but overall the smartphone companion app experience on the Bambu is a pro for the P1S. How big of a pro it is depends on your needs

It's on sale right now get the p1s ASAP don't even think about!!

@@alycapo3391 I'm going to buy p1s?

I recommend checking out Qidi. I would definitely pick the X-Plus 3 or Q1 Pro over the K1C.

also you can color print? SUBCRIBED
