If you own a K1 Max, you know what I'm talking about. I love the printer, but getting a good first layer seemed nearly impossible... that is until now!

The K1 series of printers has to be one of my favorite of all time, I don't have a Voron to compare against, but I do have a Bambu, and I really like the Bambu as well, but it's not quite as open to adjustments as the K1 printers are.
The smaller K1 is good, it performs really well, I've been really happy with it, I think for the price it's one of the best out there at the moment. The K1 Max is a bigger and meaner version of the K1, but it also comes with a bit of a hidden problem. When you try to get a good first layer, it seems like it's impossible. The results keep changing, I was never able to dial it in exactly, so what's going on with this printer, or the firmware, or who know?
Well in this video we find out exactly why we're having the problem and not only that, we're going to take it one step further and show how you can get even better results than you thought possible.
I hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful. If you do, consider subscribing or buying me a coffee on Patreon to help support the channel. I do everything myself and I want to continue to bring the best possible videos and solutions to you.
