    Creality K1C

    Building on the success of the acclaimed Creality K1, the K1C is an enclosed Core XY FDM printer capable of speeds up to 600 mm/s. Designed to compete with the industrys top 3D printers, the K1C sets a new standard with its all-metal hotend, upgraded motor system, and innovative build plate. The K1Cs capabilities extend beyond PLA it is specifically optimized for the use of carbon fiber filament the C in K1C stands for carbon. In addition, the K1Cs hotend can reach and maintain temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius, and its direct drive system is engineered to process carbon fiber filament with exceptional proficiency.

    New All-metal Extruder Kit

    The extruder is well enhanced to grip on filament tightly without slackening off. Meanwhile, the steel-tipped copper nozzle is integrated with a titanium alloy heatbreak to block heatcreep and enable quick swap.

    Make Use of CF Filaments

    With a 300℃ hotend and a hardened steel nozzle tip, K1C can employ carbon fiber-filled filaments to print 3D models with excellent mechanical strength and great resistance to wear and deformation.

    No Vibrations at High Speed

    K1C can print as fast as 600mm/s but still avoid vibrations. The metal frame is utterly sturdy as it integrated die-cast parts with fewer seams and joints. The printhead fans are dynamically balanced for shaking-free rotating when cooling the hotend and the 3D print. In addition, the G-sensor in the printhead cancels resonance with input shaping. So, your prints won't be subject to ringing or ghosting.

    Silent Mode & Air Purifier

    Whenever you want quiet, just switch to the silent mode where the noise is less than 45dB, only as loud as turning pages in a book. Meanwhile, the built-in active carbon filter purifies compounds and particles arising from molten filaments. So, users can be reassured to live and work day and night in the same place with their K1C.

    AI-assisted User Experience

    K1C is pre-assembled for plug and play. With just one tap, the auto-calibration gets leveling and everything else ready for you. No more frustrating paper tests. The included AI camera can watch over the printing for you and will actively alert you if an error occurs. It is also great for monitoring and time-lapse filming. Moreover, when an individual print fails in batch printing, you can just exclude it from the batch.

    Creality Print & Creality Cloud

    Creality Print slicer features smart cooling, optimal retraction, slim tree supports, and data-secure print farm management. Meanwhile, Creality Cloud offers a vast number of free 3D models and the freedom of cloud printing.

    Pleasant Air While Printing

    The built-in active carbon filter is effective in purifying compounds and particles arising from molten filaments. You can be reassured to stay day and night with it in the same space.

    Love this printer,works straight out the box.
    I've not needed to change or tweek any slicer settings,the machine just works everytime. Highly recommended.
    Technology outlet is the place to go for 3d printers.

    The Creality K1 range is good value for money but has some drawbacks that buyers need to be aware of.

    The automatic bed leveling compensation does not work well. My K1C arrived with the right hand side of the bed 0.75mm lower than the left and the compensation did not work leaving half a print with a poor bottom layer. Adjusting the level is difficult and requires the base of the printer to be removed and belts repositioning. Once leveled it is fine.

    Although the printer runs a version of clipper it will not accept direct uploads from third party apps like Orca. It can be rooted but the process is not simple.

    The camera AI does not work well with black/grey filament and cancels prints unnecessarily.

    The K1 has issues with the extruder. Filament leaks high up and eventually fills the sock and heatsink area. If not checked regularly it will cause damage to the hotend and need replacement. I swapped to a Microswiss (extra £80) and had no problems since. I am not sure if this is also an issue with the K1C.

    This is a noisy printer. The steppers are OK but the fans and blowers are too noisy for a domestic room.

    On the upside its fast, accurate. Don't expect quality prints at high speeds and its impossible to print near the stated maximums. Double the speed of an ender 3 is easily possible with good quality PLA and ABS at 120mm/s and PETG at 70.

    At the moment, I feel that I have not had enough experience with my Creality K1C C.
    I am totally new to 3D printing.
    What projects which are included with the Printer, are Good.
    I am getting around making my own drawings, then transferring them to Creality Printing.
    So far, I have No problems with the Printer, it's just practicing with the drawing of designs, and also down loading/up loading on line projects.
    If I can come back at a later date, and write up my progress.
