600MM/S HIGH-SPEED PRINTING - The Creality K1 Max 3D printer is designed for efficiency, boasting a maximum speed of 600mm/s and 20000mm/s² Acceleration, which is 12 times faster than a regular FDM 3D printer. Perfect for professionals and beginners.
11.8x11.8x11.8in LARGE PRINTING SIZE - The K1 Max boasts an impressive printing size of 300×300×300mm, allowing for multiple models to be printed simultaneously, significantly increasing printing efficiency. Additionally, its print volume to printer size ratio can reach up to 25.5%, the biggest compared with similar-sized printers.
SMART AI LIDAR & CAMERA - The 1μm resolution LiDAR will scan the first layer on its own. It will pause printing and tell you immediately if something goes wrong. And K1 Max uses an AI camera to watch over spaghetti failure, foreign objects, debris, etc. It will alter you when an error occurs. It also supports real-time monitoring and creates time-lapses for sharing. Furthermore, The strain sensors in the heatbed generate an accurate leveling mesh for auto compensation.
OUT-of-THE-BOX - K1 Max is assembled and calibrated before shipment, and it offers a boot-up quick guide and allows self-test with one tap. So, users can print right out of the box. The Creality K1 Max offers hands-free auto leveling, the strain sensors in the heatbed deliver hands-free leveling, while the AI LiDAR scans the bed tilts at a million points for more precise leveling. Its heatbed heats to 60℃ in just the 90s. Ensuring perfect prints every time without the hassle.
32mm³/s FlOW & DUAL COOLING - A new ceramic heater encircling the hotend can melt various filaments instantly. The dual-gear direct drive extruder and titanium alloy heartbreak ensure 32mm³/s full-blast feeding flow in up to 300℃. The freshly printed model is cooled rapidly by two fans, one on the printhead with directional air ducts, and another in the build chamber. The model hardens before any stringing and warping could happen.

Title: If you have experience with 3d Printing, THIS is the upgrade to get.
Review: I cut my teeth in 3d printing with my Ender 3 V2 which I purchased 3 years ago. It has been a very good entry level unit, with great printing quality for the price. But like many owners, it required a lot of upgrades for more consistent performance (spring beds, dual gear extruders, custom firmware, custom enclosure, etc).I recently started to develop an issue with the hot end (which was stock). Although the cost of a new hot end was not prohibitive, there were so many substantial improvements in the new printers that I decided it was time to move up.Without having to have you sit through a very long (and boring) write up, I can state with confidence that the K1 Max is a substantial upgrade. Ease of use, no bed leveling, all of the extras you would more than likely add to an older printer (BLT touch, Camera, filament runout sensor, enclosure) is there. There are also other features that you will find as well. Last, but most impressive is the SPEED. If you are used to pushing 50mm tops on an older 3D printer, you will be amazed at the starting speed of 300mm. Prints that used to take days are now done in a few hours.The caveat here is that this is still a 3d printer and if this is your first 3d printer purchase then you will more than likely have some difficulties due to lack of experience. There is nomenclature that could stump you and require some research. This may not be what you want after spending over $800 for your first printer.For those with experience, this is literally a turnkey product. Unpack, let the machine calibrate, load your filament and go.This is a fantastic machine, and if you are considering an upgrade, you will not go wrong.I hope this helps.

Title: Worthless.
Review: AI spaghetti is crap. Auto leveling doesnât work. The build plate is anything but flat and the system cannot compensate. After over a full roll of failures doing every change and tweak I could find online I finally got the print to stick only for it to fail halfway through and run out the rest of the spool. Even didnât stop when the filiment ran out. It just kept printing nothing. And yes Iâm using Creality Hyper PLA using their stock settings.

Title: My Husbands new toy.
Review: My husband loves this ! He has been on it everyday since he got it. He now has the added parts coming for it. It took him a while to fine tune it but itâs fast and the print quality is great . Good value for the money. It comes most assembled. We did need to purchase a new plate because things werenât adhering the greatest. But over all itâs great , itâs kept my husband out of my hair.

Title: This thing is great!
Review: I bought this to print some larger parts for a customer (12âx12âx6â). This thing is awesome! Iâve had an Ender 3 for a few years now and itâs been great. However, this one blows it a way. Super fast, less âbuggyâ and way easier to set up and run. I got this out of the box and printed 4 very large parts with PETG, 22 hrs each! Performed flawlessly. No bed leveling, automatically detects when itâs out of filament, connects with the Creality app really good, can watch it print, and automatically makes time lapse videos, just really cool.Anyway, highly recommend this printer.

Title: Good printer but missing parts
Review: I've had the K1 Max for over a month and it has performed well. My bed was warped but I was able to level it by adjusting the belts. Even though the bed is still not perfectly level I'm not running into any adhesion issues. One complaint I do have is that the K1 Max did not come with any allen wrenches or the tools needed to remove the nozzle. I tried out but returned (because I wanted a bigger build plate) a K1SE and Ender 3 V3 Plus and both of those came with wrenches and the nozzle tool. The K1 Max came with a 10mm wrench instead. I'm guessing something got switched during packaging. Not a major missing part but for the price I paid I expected everything to be included.

Title: Used and Broken
Review: I received this machine that was previously used and broken. The error log indicated that the machined was used in March 2024. The Z-axis was constantly popping up error key 2522 then 2529. Original tape and original screw were missing before unboxing.

Title: Very high quality prints. Very fast.
Review: This printer is replacing an original Dremel 3D2S printer that I bought in 2015. The first thing I noted was the exceptionally high quality of the materials the printer was made of, the ease of use, the automatic bed leveling, and even the software is intuitive. Comparing to my old printer, for starters it is exceptionally quiet, as in right not it is 1:20am, people are asleep and the printer is only 7 hours into a 38 hour long print, nobody can hear it. The quality of the prints are exceptional. 10/10 I highly recommend this printer.

Title: Excellent
Review: This 3D printer not only met my expectations but exceeded them tenfold. It can be incredibly fast and accurate even using standard pla. It takes some working with to get the full functionality of it correct including some tinkering with your software. The only Annoying part of this printer is the fact that, once again, the spool is on the back. The one place most people cannot get to.My one recommendation to everyone is before you install your filament, cut the tip off the line at an angle so it'll go in through the feeder better. The sharper the tip the better the feed.
