Yeah honestly I went back and read your OP and it sounds like maybe you straight up got a counterfeit unit or something? That’s wild. If genuine replacement parts don’t fit that’s super whack

It’s not counterfeit. Creality literally admitted the problem. It’s super whack, I agree.

Yea, none of what he says makes sense.

I have a K1 that doesn’t take early K1 parts. I think they changed things mid-production to use the unicorn nozzles that they evidently designed for another printer. During that time, the hotend was changed twice as well. This means if I order a hotend kit, I have a very low chance of actually getting the part I need. I’m not sure how to shop, because everything just says K1.

Usually that means a v1, v2, etc. there are k1v1, k1v2, k1c, k1 max, k1 plus, k1se, etc. so you need to verify exactly which version you have and order the parts specific to your system.
