Yea, none of what he says makes sense.
Comment on Do NOT buy Creality
porkloin@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoYeah 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

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.

Creality wouldn’t explain that to me, and I’ve never seen a listing with versions for the K1. Can you find one so I can see what you mean?

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