Creality K1C 3D Printer: Features, Setup, and First Prints!

The Creality K1C is an advanced 3D printer known for its robust capabilities, especially in handling carbon fibre filaments. The CoreXY design is in trend but it only differs slightly from the K1, the Red Bayern Munich edition adds the flavour of on-trend colour mods.

Here are its key features:

Key Features
Carbon Fiber Printing 🏎️
Core XY For FAST printing & now with inbuilt camera.

The K1C excels at printing with carbon fibre filaments, which are highly valued for their strength and lightweight properties, making them ideal for high-performance applications like drone components and automotive parts.
Speed and Performance ⚡

The printer boasts impressive print speeds of up to 600mm/s, with standard speeds around 300mm/s, supported by a CoreXY system and high acceleration (up to 20,000mm/s²). This ensures fast and stable printing.
Clog-Free Extruder and Nozzle 💧

It features an all-metal extruder and a unique "Unicorn" nozzle that integrates the nozzle and heat break, ensuring smooth filament flow and easy maintenance. The nozzle can handle temperatures up to 300°C, making it suitable for a wide range of filaments.
Advanced Calibration and Ease of Use 🛠️

Pre-assembled with hands-free auto-leveling, the K1C simplifies the setup process. It uses Klipper firmware for input shaping, reducing print errors and improving overall print quality.
Smart Features 🤖

The K1C includes an AI camera for monitoring, remote printing capabilities, filament run-out sensors, and power-loss recovery. It also features a silent mode, reducing noise levels to below 45dB, and an air purification system to manage odors from printing materials.
Material Compatibility 🎨

It supports a broad range of filaments, including PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and carbon fiber composites like PLA-CF and PA-CF, making it versatile for various applications.
Technical Specifications
Build Volume: 220 x 220 x 250 mm 📏
Layer Height: 0.1 - 0.35 mm 🧵
Print Bed: Flexible PEI build plate 🛏️
Connectivity: USB drive, WiFi 🌐
Software Compatibility: Creality Print, Cura, PrusaSlicer, and more 💻
Conclusion

The Creality K1C is a high-performance 3D printer suitable for advanced users and professionals who need to print high-strength materials like carbon fiber. Its combination of speed, ease of use, and smart features makes it a strong contender in the 3D printing market. 🚀

Great video as always 👍
Congratulations on the 50k subs

Excellent film/edit work on the unwrapping of the printers. That hot pink is pretty slick.

When I got both of my K1 Max's they printed great a little ghosting but nothing that was a shock bit after I upgraded to the latest firmware now all of the sudden I'm getting whisps and it doesn't matter what filament I use I get them no again no big deal but do you think it's something in the firmware or something mechanical?

My K1C arrives Monday coming from Ender 5 Pro, glad to join your company and see what you get up to. Any closer to solving this issue? I plan to root, go to latest klipper and do any and all calibration possible, will update with my cat results.

[navydiverdlt]

...look to see if you have speed changes (or other changes at those layers, for that matter). I had the same issues and discovered that changes in speed were resulting in what appeared to be layer/z/etc. shifts.

Hello there Sam, nice video as alway, any coupon or discount code for the red version in europe?

[freddes]

Great video, I think printer that can print carbon filament are the future when it comes to create products that can be used in product that would be take more force than PLA or ABS can take.

4:01 So i have a question about one of the prints you did in this video, it's the black geometric vase, I have been printing 95% of the past 3 years print with resin, so i am rather green when it comes to FDM, i have just purchased a K1C and that's how i stumbled onto this video. SO! more to the point I have noticed there is little to no layer lines and I was wondering if you can please tell me how to print with that high quality. thanks in advance

[timhooglandyt]

Awesome. I just bought one and it's sitting in my office :)

[gerthalberg]

Is the bed PID tuned - so there's minimal temp fluctuation. Are the linear rod bearings stellar quality or is there a little play?

[sergioherrerapinero]

Do you try to run imput shaper script?? It seam to be a problem with Creality firmware, they use same value from x to y axis. If you rooted the printer and run this macro could improve the quality I think.

[cheetahkid]

have you tried the pink cat on ender 3 V3 (not the se or ke)?

[PanosMesi]

Great video! Last week im thinking upgrading from my heavily modded ender3 v1 to k1c or ender3 v3 plus and im confused. I have the ender3 v1 since 2018 and i want something that works out of the box without a hassle. Any suggestions? Also i would like to be able to print cf filaments.

[offsetmakerlab]

That robot you're working on, I think I saw Mike post a video in his FB group teasing that. That uses those Neo motors too, right? Is that PLA gear going to be rugged enough to handle the torque?

[skywalkr]

Had V3 S1 Pro, too much constant fiddling on the bed. Just bought the K1C bundle on the deal that is now expired. Hoping this new version will allow me to print without having to manually level every day.

[stumpthumpersoftplastics]

How is it possible to print without the foundation layer?

[QuantumX]

K1C doesn’t seem to be able to print TPU well. Constant clogs and under extrusion while printing with TPU. Especially because of the unicorn nozzle design. I’ve tried with different TPUs, every time it clogs mid print and fails due to under extrusion

[primus]

here i had a re think and l think the multi filament upgrade kit for the k-series and the ender wont worry about a poop shot but will instead us a purge tower!

[luiseteav]

Hello, the model of the cat that you have put in the link is not the same one that you print in the video. The one in the video is one piece and the link is two and it is not solid.

Wait a few weeks the K2 will be released
