Dedicated section for the Creality flagship K1 Max, and all topics related to these models.
Hi Everyone, I have had my K1 Max about two months after selling my Ender 5 Pro and while I realise that the original versions of the K1 series had some issues my K1 Max has been brilliant out of the box. It is reliable and fast and I have had no issues with clogging, feeding or anything else. I mainly print ABS for functional parts and it is just load and print. I use the smooth print surface that came with the printer and do not use glue stick. I have designed and installed a hinged lid raise assembly, which has enabled me to remove the bowden guide tube from the last clip before the extruder to ease the curve into the extruder. Like most I have moved the spool holder from the back to the right side. Other than that a brilliant machine with no issues.

Whoops, spoke too soon. After printing reliably and well for 2 months my K1 Max suddenly developed a curious fault. It would print well but when doing a full bed level it would sense the four corners and then run off the bed to the right, hitting the travel stops hard. I reasoned (eventually) that it must be software related so I tried to flash a new copy of the same firmware but this is not possible it seems. So downloaded the previous firmware from Creality and flashed my printer. It then immediately offered to update to the latest firmware (the same as I had) and that is what I did. I am pleased to say that this fixed the anomaly and so all back to normal. I hope this helps someone. Regards to all.
Hello @bilmar789020 …! 
Welcome to the Creality Forum…! 
Glad you like that K1 Max. Got one also… Had a few issues but for the most part it’s doing great.
Your hinge cover looks good. Very convenient.
