🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The reviews for the K1 Max 3D printer present a mixed perspective but lean towards a generally positive reception. Users praise its out-of-the-box functionality, decent print quality, and plug-and-play nature, emphasizing its value for the price. However, some noted durability concerns with parts like the door hinges, and one user experienced a significant decline in print quality over time. The printer's ease of use, including setup and software functionality, is highlighted as a major advantage, though limited core configuration access for precision work is mentioned as a drawback.

  • 🚀 Fast printing compared to similar models
  • 🔓 Root access available for enabling additional firmware features
  • 🌐 Fully usable offline with multiple input options for G-code files
  • 😃 Great for both novices and experienced users due to ease of use and advanced feature access
  • 👥 Strong community support
  • 🔊 Quieter operation than other models

Cons

  • ❗Fragile door hinges which could lead to breakage
  • 📜 Quick start instructions do not cover all setup needs, like installing the door handle
  • 🔒 Stock firmware feels limited without enabling root access
  • ⚙ Some users reported a decline in print quality over time

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a 3D printer that is relatively easy to set up and produces good-quality prints right out of the box, the K1 Max appears to be a worthy option. It's particularly appealing for those who value plug-and-play simplicity alongside the potential for tweaking and tuning. However, if you prioritize long-term reliability over initial convenience, or need precise control over every aspect of your 3D printing without additional effort, you might want to consider other options or be prepared to deal with some of its cons. Overall, for its price point and the features it offers, it seems to be a solid investment for both beginners and seasoned 3D printing enthusiasts.


  • Works well out of the box
Model: K1 Max
After unpacking the printer and setting it up, I was pleased to see that it produces decent quality results straight out of the box and produces them much faster than my other 3D printer. It isn't perfect, but in my opinion it does justify the price. The door hinges aren't great, and it feels like the door could break easily if it is opened too far, and the quick start instructions don't mention the need to install the door handle, that is only stated on a little slip of paper in the bag with the hardware. The stock firmware is a little locked down, but there is an option in the menu to enable root access, which makes it easy to enable all of the extra features of the Klipper firmware. It is good out of the box though, and with a small amount of tuning it is even better. ... show more

  • It just works!
Model: K1 Max
I own many Prusa printers, but I couldn't resist trying the K1Max when the price was right for me and I am so happy I did. I've printed PLA and PETG, my most common on this machine, and I am very impressed. I was afraid of "Creality Quality" having owned their previous printers which was very tinker-needed - this was very plug and play. The hardest thing I had to learn was how to load and unload filament, and do a color change for the first time (none was hard). This is a great product and I am very happy to have an open sourced 3d printer that matches the speed and quality and price of another closed sourced company rival. I am able to root the unit and install whichever Klipper software I'd like on it. The machine is also fully usable offline, without the need to connect to the internet, with multiple ways to input G-code files like USB drive if you don't want to use the cloud options. It's got something for everyone - and best of all - did I mention it prints well? I love my Prusa's, but I am not looking forward to seeing what Creality comes with next now that they are stepping up to the competition. ... show more

  • Save your money and stay away
Model: K1 Max
This machine, along with the smaller version, is a horrible machine. It is not anything I would expect from something that is supposed to be a "flagship" product, and especially one that costs so much. I got carried up in the hype for this machine, and I regret this purchase a lot. The machine seems to be mostly made of good materials for the frame and enclosure. The touch screen is great, and works wonderfully. A lot of the marketing showed that these were shipped in wooden crates. This was only when they were shipped to streamers. It was shipped in an ordinary cardboard box. But it was packed well, as Creality does this part very good. It is good that they did, because when Amazon delivered it, they left it on the porch upside down...even with clearly marked designations for the package orientation. The machine printed great for the the first week, but since then it just prints horrible quality prints. I have tried changing settings that could be changed, but with no luck. The Slicer software is terrible. I have tried changing the nozzle, still no good. Trying to contact any semblance of tech support is an extremely frustrating experience, as it is handled through email, and with demands of videos of various things. There is no actual information or instructions on how to fix most things with this printer. It is now obvious to me that this product was rushed to market, in order to compete with better quality machines that have recently become available. I have had several Creality 3D printers in the last few years, but I can say at this time this is my last one . ... show more

  • K1 Max Works Good out of Box
Model: K1 Max
I have deducted 1 star because Creality has limited access to the core configuration of the printer, to be able to easily dial in the dimensional accuracy. That said, this printer is great. Especially for a sub $1K 300mm volume core X/Y machine. You have to remove 3 shipping screws on the Z axis, peel some tape and attache the front door handle and it is assembled. Load filament in and follow the step by step instructions on the screen and in about 20-30 minutes you are ready to print. I connected to our office wifi and opened the Creality Cloud print software. I sliced a Benchy (did not use their file) and sent it to the printer in "normal" mode. 20-25 minutes later I had an excellent benchy, with only 1 very light string in the cabin, otherwise a great print. For someone who knows very little about 3D printing and the "dialing" in usually required, you could not ask for an easier solution. I do have experience in 3D printing and I need dimensional accuracy in the prints we do for our business, so I need access to the configuration files. It can be done, several videos on youtube on how to accomplish this access. Creality should have provided this access from the factory so I have deducted 1 star. I have literally only had this printer for a few hours but have already ran 4 differnt prints, all in PLA. Also FWIW, it is a good looking printer, with the tinted glass on the front, sides and top. Top is easily removable for maintenance or temperature management and door opens/closes smoothly. I will obviously continue working with the machine and will update my review if anything major develops. IMHO it is worth the money, especially compared with others out there with similiar capabilites. Also there is a HUGE base of Creality users to lean on for assistance. The K1 Max is still fairly new so not the same amount of information available yet as compared to say an Ender, but it will get there soon enough. One last comment, I think this printer is very quiet, some YouTube reviews stated it was loud, compared to other printers I have been around and worked with this thing is silent. Hope this helps :) Edit Review: I changed from 4 to 5 stars. We have been running the machine for several weeks now. Once I figured out how to adjust the print parameters so that it was printing dimensionally accurate by adjusting the "Horizontal Scaling factor for both X & Y [Z was good] (as good as can be expected from extruded plastic) this machine is awesome. Very fast, great finishes, the stock software is more than adequate. I did not want to root the machine since multiple people in the office use it for various projects. So far we have printed PLA, PETG, TPE and TPU. All filaments worked with the default settings in the software. Yes we did tweak a few settings to improve the overall quality, but none of the prints were failures. I do not understand the negative reviews on YouTube, this is an excellent machine for it's capabilities versus it's price point. I wish this machine existed several years ago when I got into 3D printing, it is as close to a professional printer as one can get in this price range. ... show more
