Creality K1 SE 3D Printer, 2024 New Version 600mm/s High-Speed Hands-Free Auto Leveling Flagship-Level Direct Extruder Quick-swap Tri-Metal Nozzle K1 Upgrade 3D Printer

Fantastic printer. right out of the box it worked flawlessly and has continued to do so on every print thus far. It has 90 hours of print time on it so far and i have not had a single failed print. the automatic bed leveling appears to work exactly as intended and i have not had any issues with bed adhesion. This is the fastest printer i have owned so far and the ease of use with creality cloud is phenomenal. i have noticed some slight inconsistencies on vertical flat walls where the layers dont always line up perfectly but i imagine this would be corrected by slowing print speed down slightly if you needed a part to be more precise. So far i have only printed with PLA so I cant say how it will do with other filaments but given how well it has performed so far i think it will be just fine. TLDR this printer just works and for the price i dont think you will find a better value. Whether you are printing toys or functional parts you really cant go wrong with this one.

So understand from the beginning what you are buying and you'll be good to go. This is a zero frills workhorse printer. Large capacity for bigger prints. Handles multiple different materials. High quality prints with minimal setup.Understand this is a smooth glass build surface. Prints will NOT stick to this without some type of assistance (I suggest glue stick) it does come with some textured masking tape which works very well. If you're going to keep going with masking tape be sure to buy the good stuff with rough texture. The smoother it is the worse it will adhere.Aside from that this thing gets the job done. Very fast setup, good build quality, sturdy materials. While not recommended for a person who has never printed before it is a great midlevel printer.Commit to the learning curve and it won't let you down.

No matter how many adjustments I make to the bed, it won't stay level. The paper trick doesn't work. There are stl files designed to make bed leveling easy, which I use on my ender 3. On this piece of trash they are useless. Immediately after leveling the bed and rehoming the extruder and starting a new print, the bed is unlevel again. The layers don't stick to each other no matter which filament I use. Either the plate itself is bent and it went right on through creality's garbage quality inspection, or they've just made a poorly designed machine so you have to buy their upgrades to make it function correctly. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my printers to work correctly after the first setup process. I should NOT have to level the bed every time it moves. Garbage product. Save your money and buy from a different manufacturer, because you won't get help from their customer support or the printing community.

this is my first 3d printer and I am extremely pleased with it, i model on Fusion 360 and slice with Cura and all of my models come out with fantastic detail. the build area is massive compared to a lot of printers in this price rangePros: cheap for the build area, good print quality, easy to set up had it running 30 minutes after i got it. easy to use.cons: the freestanding gantry will oscillate on fast small movements like text and faint ghosting occurs, no auto level bedrecommendations if you buy this: get magigoo for the bed the tape likes to rip off with prints, go on thingiverse and print a better filament cooling duct it helps tones when bridgingother notes: its not loud, its not quiet but you can easily sleep in a room with it running also helps if you put foam on the feet.

The media could not be loaded. To start of a little costly but let’s get Into itPros1. Basically in my opinion it’s 50% built you basically just screw part frame A to part frame B lol and plug in wires really simple2. Everything is included to print right out of the box no extras needed I mean unless you want other colors lol3. Program and guide included on a cute tinny USB4. Came with a glass bed5. Really easy to use and print6. You can leave it unattended I have for hrs and it works fine turns off after finishing the print I mean it turns the extruder and bed heat off but stays on the lcd screen7. Print quality is depending on how fast and I guess how leveled the bed is I had a crappy test dog and then moved the print to the right sided adjusted a few things and the dog was fabulous8. Free pla and heated tape in the box I’ll post pictures of where I found my tape and what my prints look like as well as a videoAt the moment I’m using Hatchbox play and I have the temp of nozzle at 198c and bed at 65-70c depending on size and what speed is changed on what I’m doing with the dogs I did 100 and with my headphone holder same speed 100Now the ConsCons1. The glass bed is really hard to use or even level the bed with even after that it’s hard to get anything to stick on it might be a little to thick in my opinion because tape glue and hair spray was a no go on the glass bed it would shift or move bend or ball up on the nozzle tape and the plan metal bed works fabulous lol2. HOLY SKETCHY USB STICK LOL like seriously a plan usb with a gray pickle with foreign language on it and at that the usb stick reads a micro SD card so okay 👌🏻 😂 I got ride of it and used a 16gig works just make sure to get the files first the usb is safe it’s just so small I got a larger one hahahaha nothing bad happened I just personally would lose such a small usb stick hahaha3. The book guides are brain aneurism seriously 😂 just go to the usb stick guide 😂4. The leveling is really hard not for beginners they should add something to help with that honestly lol because I have a sheet of glass on my table now5. The white free pla that’s in the box tangled up and almost burned out my extruder lol so look closely at it when using it
