Comment on Creality K1 woes

  You would think that would be the solution, but no - printer registers itself as a K1, no C or Max or anything else. That’s why I’m so confused.

  Nozzles: a.co/d/aYVIVGY Hotend: a.co/d/1yqFogq

  Neither of these work with my machine.

    So is your printer using unicorn nozzles (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHOujRQ)? I believe K1C and maybe some newer builds of K1/Max came with those. I have switched to CHCB-OT (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EJhmisG) it has a good flow and easy to find nozzles (MK8).

      Link doesn’t work 😞

      It is using unicorn nozzles, yes, but I didn’t know that until I needed to replace them. Thankfully, I was still within the return window for the $40 set I bought just in case. But shouldn’t I be able to tell which parts I need before they get here? How do I know what to buy going forward? What if I get something incompatible and can’t return it?

        Here’s another hotend link, the old one was dead indeed: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EQs5RNi You can get very cheap MK8 nozzles for it, or get some better ones too. The hardened steel ones can handle the CF filaments really well, I’ve been using one for over a year now.

        I don’t one why you’re asking me these questions. The link works for me - maybe it’s your adblocker. I believe it was only the extruder that was different. Creality support was pretty bad, but I’ve pressed them to eventually send me replacement parts when I needed them
