The media could not be loaded. Our Journey with the High-Speed Marvel - A Family Adventure When we set out to find a 3D printer that our family could enjoy, the K1 immediately caught our attention. We were on the hunt for a machine that could not only meet our needs but also keep up with our enthusiasm for faster prints. Unboxing and Setup: One of the most exciting moments was unboxing the K1. Our 11-year-old son took the lead, and we were delighted to find everything neatly packed. No loose parts and the inclusion of handy tools and a thumb drive made the experience even better. Setup was a breeze, involving just the removal of three screws and the installation of the touch panel. The printer's build quality was immediately evident, giving us confidence in its durability. The enclosed design stood out, promising better temperature control during prints. With a combination of ball screws in the Z-axis and belt drive for other movements, the printer felt rock-solid. Power-Up and Initial Prints: As soon as we powered up the K1 and connected it to the network, we were greeted by a reassuring self-check feature. We were eager to explore the printer's high-speed capabilities, and so, we dove right into it. No more waiting around; we wanted to see how quickly our creations could come to life. Gradually increasing the printing speeds, we were astonished by the results. The K1 easily doubled our previous printing speed while maintaining or even improving print quality. This was a game-changer for our son, who had grown impatient with the time his previous printer took. Great Customer Service: We must give credit to the fantastic customer service from Creality. When we had a few questions about setting up the software, they responded promptly, and their assistance made our journey all the more enjoyable. The Joy of Speed and Family Bonding: One unexpected delight of the K1 is how our kids love watching it in action. They're fascinated by how fast it prints, and it's become a family pastime to gather around and marvel at the intricate creations taking shape before our eyes. Our 11-year-old son, in particular, couldn't be happier with how quickly his projects come to life. Whether it's crafting a custom rubber band car or printing a dice tower for his board games, he's now able to see the results almost in real-time. In conclusion, the K1 has transformed our 3D printing experience into a family adventure. It's not just a printer; it's a source of creativity and a catalyst for quality time spent together. While we anticipated a learning curve, the K1's outstanding performance and the excellent customer support from Creality have made this journey even more enjoyable. Our kids are thrilled with the speed at which their ideas materialize, and as parents, we couldn't be happier with the bonding opportunities it provides.

Out of the box impression. Nice build quality. This printer looks and feels premium. I was able to successfully print good looking models after the initial setup. Very little assembly is required to get the printer ready to print. Make sure you update the firmware before your first print. My printer’s firmware was multiple versions behind. Not sure if I was sent old stock but the latest firmware fixes bugs and printing issues. At first the printer was acting weird such as the led light was flashing on and off while printing but I realized that I forgot to change the power supply of the printer from 220V to 110V. After making the change the printer behaved as expected. My issue with this printer is the amount of time it takes to start a print. The printer does bed leveling and some calibration every time I start a print. Unchecking the calibration option in the menu does shorten the time a bit but not a lot. I haven’t timed this whole process but it does add a few minutes to printing process. Another thing I’m not fond of is the cheap spool holder that is included. It sits in the back of the printer which makes it hard to access depending on your setup. The spool holder also adds friction to the Bowden setup because the filament spool does not spin freely (no bearings) as it should. Might cause under extrusion. Otherwise, it is a sweet printer. It does what it is advertised to do. I'm happy with it.

First impressions: The printer came well packed and there was nothing loose. The printer came with a good assortment of tools and a thumb drive. There is some setup, but it is minimal. Three screws have to be removed and the touch panel installed. Basically it is almost ready to go out of the box. The fit and finish looks real good and it is solid. The enclosure is a nice feature and should be able to control enclosure temperature better than my old open air printer. The z axis is three ball screws and the rest is belt drive. Everything seemed to be solid. Power up: Everything powered up well and once connected to the network the self check feature gave me confidence everything was good to go. I skipped the creality cloud setup, but may revisit it later to see some of the features. There was a lot of features with the cloud, but I stuck with Cura because that is what I normally use. So far I have been working up speeds from what I used on my old printer. I did not feel comfortable just flooring it out of the box. So far I am dialing in the PLA setup and the results have been very good. I am at twice the speed I use to print at with better quality. I am looking forward to pushing it a little more and reducing my typical print times. In all I am really impressed with the machine and look forward to the using it. Being a new machine there will probable be some growing pains and I have not looked at firmware releases or upgraded yet. I am also confident in Sainsmart supporting the product just like so many things I have purchased through them in the past.

After three months of light use, the printer started reporting various faults, particularly regarding the z-axis sensor (errors 2526, 2529, 2587). There is no official product documentation for these errors that would allow the problem to be resolved, and it seems that new parts need to be purchased to get the printer working again. The nozzle that comes by default is junk, and it was destroyed after a month of use, so a replacement was necessary very quickly.

It’s very particular about its files. Doesn’t like other software besides creality brands. Still working out the bugs. Great learning experience

It's a great printer out of the box, I'm sure if I play with the features more it could be even better. But as is, great printer.
