CrealityK1C 3D Printer, 2024 New Version 600mm/s High-Speed Auto Leveling Clog-Free Robust Direct Extruder K1 SE Upgraded 3D Printer with AI Camera 300°C Printing Support Carbon Fiber Filaments

I am by no means an expert. I had a much less expensive 3D printer, and struggled with it. Assembly was tedious, calibration was difficult and questionable, and trying to print anything was a confusing throwback to feeling unprepared for the exam you forgot about. I never got a single successful print.My wife said "Screw this, we're spending a little extra, and getting you a nice one."OMG. The K1C. I LOVE IT.It's so easy. No assembly-- just take it out if the box, remove packing materials, take out 3 shipping screws, connect the screen, and boom. Done. The Creality app and online site make everything sooooo simple. Seriously. I do everything from my phone on the app. "Oooooo, that looks neat." Download, slice, print. Check on progress every now and then without getting off the couch-- and just hit the camera button to watch inside the printer. Looks good? Yup. Back to doing whatever.It's simple, it works, it's fast, it's easy.

The media could not be loaded. Honestly amazing I was trying to learn on an old ender 3 pro and all the upgrades it has it still had so many problems I was spending more time trouble shooting the machine and not nearly enough doing literally anything else I wanted and not to mention wasted filament and frustration. I was able to set this printer up put my file into orca slicer add the printer change no settings other than support transfer to the included usb and print within an hour and it’s already passed the point where my old printer failed 100% of the time. Zero adhesion issues and this thing is fast combine that with the app to let you watch and control your prints without setting up another camera. This printer makes me very happy

I bought the Ender 3 V3 Plus because I was excited to see an ender V3 with a larger bed size. The print quality is pretty and the bed adhesion is better than I thought. Somewhat easy to use but they could have mounted the filament holder to reduce the size even more. Easy to clean.... BUT when ever the bed levels or the nozzle is homing, it either runs into the side pillars of the printer with the motor still running and/or the nozzle with continue to head down even though it couldn't go any further, gouging the bed plate a couple times. I've only used it twice and I have like 4 gouge marks in my bed. Great Concept, Terrible execution.

Excellent machine. Setup was easy and it has been cranking out stuff flawlessly. My grand kids have been delighted with the 3D dragons and Pokemon and I have used it with advance filaments like PETG-CF and Nylon and it works great.

Great for making quick prototype mock-ups. I thought it was rated at 2.5 times faster than my old printer, but it's actually 6 times faster. This speed is only good for more robust models though and the finer details can be a bit rough so if you want a clean, more precise print then you have to turn it down to 50% speed, which is around 3 times faster than my other printer. I'd also recommend getting a printer enclosure not only for dust, but because you don't want to be tempted to touch the model during printing. This thing would take a finger off and not even slow down. Anyway awesome printer, but not recommended for kids because of what I just mentioned.

If you have been using 3d printers this will essentially be a plug and play operation. I give it 4 stars because of the difficulty with clearing filament jams. The filament jam was my fault for being impatient when removing the filament to change colors, but to clear i had to basically disassemble the extruder. For all other printing operations, it is just incredible! If you are upgrading from an Ender3, especially an older model, you will be amazed at the printing speed. The print quality is really good and i am sure with some tinkering in the slicer, it could be amazing. I am really satisfied with this printer. Now i have to decide what i will do with the Ender3.

I'm new to 3d printing and had no idea what printer to get and looked at many options when a good friend told me to look at the K1C and how improved it was over the original K1s I was looking for one with a little larger bed size, but it was on sale for black Friday at a price I couldn't refuse so I ordered one. I liked that it can use most filaments available and 3 months later and I couldn't be happier!! I've learned a lot about 3d printing using the K1C and it has worked flawlessly for me!! The only failed prints have been my fault and it has been running pretty much non stop day and night since I got it. Creality has come a long way with their slicer software and web interface too, and now they are coming out with a multi color option in the next month or so and I can turn it into multi color if I choose. To be honest I will probably get their K2 Plus combo and just use it along with my K1C. Creality is definitely keeping up with their products and providing support and updates to keep making the user experience better. I highly recommend the K1C especially if your new to the hobby.
