Creality K1 Max from Unbox, to Printing...
Hello, These are just my opinions and thoughts...on the Creality K1 Max.
I am not paid by anyone, I have Purchased each device, RC car, Quad, Plane ,Mod, Tank, 3D-printer, filament, PC part - ETC...Period.
Remember, These are just MY opinions, yours may be different. :)
Yes...I Purchased one : )
I am fairly certain I do have the Version "3", With Updated extruder gears (steel and magnetic), Red extruder sock, Ceramic heater thermister is the separate wrapped and different shape outer.
I printed the Benchy 1st off, and came out 98% good and VERY fast.
I had an issue right above the openings - Like it under extruded 1 or 2 layers - ? IDK.
Might have been the filament I was using, honestly.
I have sliced in Creality print, and Cloud and printed a XYZ calibration Cube (will be in next video).
And although the 1st layer is the best I have ever printed, the print itself was not.
A little ringing, and the top layer has a hole in it - ?
Now this all with all stock, all default settings - EXCEPT, I turned off the Brim in Creality print.
Obviously, It needs some "tweaking" : )
Did that, same issues. Filiment, Slicer? IDK?
On Creality Print Slicer...Looks very familiar...
I only used, as - at this time, its the only one that will run all the fans, settings, and camera for the K1 Max - Without rooting OR Orca, that I just learned about recently.
I have downloaded Orca, not used as yet (its been a day!, LOL)
On Creality Cloud...Why?
It is very slow, the camera doesnt load, and the few times it does, its slow and acting like I am on a dial up connection!
^ On my PC
On my cell - The camera worked 95% of the time, but had a lot of lag issues.
The ONLY reason I would have used Creality Cloud was for the camera.
Now Orca slicer..Well 1st test cube....and the camera feed, the time lapse - that I could NOT get from the Creality versions...Without it erroring, saying it failed.
It did not...I found out later.
Is so far AMAZING!
Check the next video - there are some time lapses in that one : )
So, at this point, if asked if I would buy another K1 max...YES!
If it will print as fast as it does, as good as my Creality CR6-SE's?
I have a few more prints to complete to really decide, but...I have already seen that the K1 Max can print very good, and very fast - with the right settings.
I wonder what Creality uses, when they slice prints that they include???
Nothing shows in the G-code files to say, but, Im not so sure they are using Creality print themselves.
???
AFTER - I went through and used Orca slicer....
YES! BUY it (be sure you get a updated version).
In my next video, you'll see why I say this. : )
