Yeah, I’m practice I’ve only had the first one happen to me

Or if the voltage is too high. Or at least they should be

Different revisions. They’ve released K1C (with different parts in some places) after K1, but they didn’t do an official refresh for Max (which got some of the upgrades like new nozzle) silently. And there were at least a few extruder revisions in between.

Yeah, I loved that video :)
- Comment on Question: Humidity controlled cabinet 3 weeks ago:
I’ve done a similar thing using IKEA Samla Box (fits 6 rolls). With a few boxes of silica gel (dried periodically in my filament dryer) I can get it to stay relatively dry for a few weeks (goes from ~15 to ~25% in a few weeks).

Won’t hurt to ask, maybe they’ll just send you another one.

Of course. One can make a better knife, or just take one out of a kitchen drawer.

Helper script (2nd link) is easier to use. simple AF (first link) is fully open source, but requires you to use another bed leveling probe - no open source „driver” for prtouch- the built in one (which is slow and not terribly accurate anyway).

There are some companies that violate GPL. Guess what happens to them? Nothing (unfortunately).
- Comment on Creality's Warranty Loophole: How They Tried to Charge Us $30 for a Defective Sensor 2 months ago:
Their software is somewhat open too, and you can root it unlike some other printers

I had them replace it 3 times before I got a working one. By the time it was delivered I’ve returned my Ender 3 V3 KE and got…K1. I am much happier with it though, and I’ve even mounted that CR-Touch on it at się point;)

No worries. I’ve sent you updated link in another comment.
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 2 months ago:
Good luck with that, they don’t care too much about respecting OSS licensing either. Aside from that I’m enjoying my K1 - after I’ve modified it ;)
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 2 months ago:
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
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 2 months ago:
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).
- Comment on Creality K1 woes 2 months ago:
Did you get K1, K1C, K1 max or something else? Can you link to the parts you got?
- Comment on What is the problem here? 2 months ago:
Also preheating and waiting before bed leveling helps. These beds are wobbly. I’ve put a glass bed on top of the factory one on my K1
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 2 months ago:
Exactly what I’m talking about, this is why I’m using glue. If you’re talking about a textured plate it’s probably PEI
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 2 months ago:
Yeah, I dry my filament (especially PETG) with one of those too. I don’t have to use glue, it just makes PETG easier to remove from the plate. Otherwise it can stick to the plate too well (had a case where I removed the model with some of the PEI coating).
- Comment on Using PrusaSlicer, is there a way of getting a thicker (two layers, preferably) support base? See linked pic for what I mean. 2 months ago:
I’m actually using spray glue (3dlac) usually with a textured PEI (rarely a smooth PEI) plate. I’m also using PET/PEO (double sided) plate with PETG (without glue) - adhesion is really good, but not too good (so it’s easy to clean).

3 things that help me with PETG when it comes to separate it from the plate:
- Glue (yes, really)
- Cooling it off (sometimes putting the plate with leftovers on the freezer)
- Olfa scraper (at a right angle to not scratch the plate)
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 months ago:
I think I was getting Jayo PETG from AliExpress. As for PCTG it was from Rosa3D - you can get it directly from them or through Allegro
- Comment on Ordered my first 3d printer (ender 3 v3). What filaments should I buy why they're on sale for black Friday? 3 months ago:
I’ve printed a lot of Jayo PETG, and aside from having to dry it before use, it was fine (and very cheap).
