Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?
Croquette@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoK1C is open sourced as far as I can tell. But I am not sure what you are asking here?
Someone has created a custom firmware for the X1C, but that’s pretty much it.
K2 isn’t open sourced, but it can still be rooted and you can use Fluidd or mainsail.
So Creality sucks for not open sourcing the k2 firmware, but it’s not the same level of shittiness as Bambu Lab

Does Creality uses V6-compatible nozzles?
If one of the stepper drivers blows up (it happens and since it blows/damages the PCB it can’t be repaired) can I swap in a generic motherboard without replacing other components like the screen?

The K1 used K1 Nozzles(some remix of Volcano Nozzles also used by Sovol on there SV06 Plus). Dunno if you could use regular Volcano Nozzles on this(without modification) since the K1 Nozzle-Tips are longer/more spiky.

I swapped my nozzle for an after market one, changed the heatsink as well on my K1.
I haven’t changed the my mobo on it, but I know there is a m5p mobo that can be swapped.
