In this video I will walk you through the set up of the Creality K1 MAX high speed 3D printer including a slicer profile for PrusaSlicer. This printer requires very little in terms of assembly but I will show you how to get started with the K1 MAX and share with you what I was able to achieve in terms of print quality.
We will also look at Creality Print and slicer and do a head to head comparison between Prusaslicer and Creality Print.
I also have several upgrades that I have made available for the K1 MAX as seen in the video. See the links below:
Creality K1 MAX double sided (smooth / texture) PEI flex plate:

Hardened Steel Nozzle:

Super Deluxe Spool Holder

Spool Stand X:

I hope to provide you with insight into the pros and cons of using the Creality K1 MAX. If you are considering purchasing this equipment please consider supporting the sponsor of this video, @Creality3D (As an Amazon associate I may earn a small commission at NO extra cost to you)

As Creality provided me with both the Creality K1 MAX and their HYPER PLA filament for the making of this video this wouldn't be possible without them and I would like to sincerely thank them for sending me this equipment.
If you have already purchased the Creality K1 MAX I hope this video provides you with some insights that you find useful. To support my work, please consider visiting my website where you will find other upgrades for a large variety of other printers such as the Ender 3 S1, Ender 5 S1, CR10 Smart, CR6 SE, Ender 7 and many more!
Plus, in the resources section of my website you will find other valuable slicer profiles and configurations such as this Creality K1 MAX PrusaSlicer Profile:
► embracemaking.com/blogs/resources/creality-k1-max-prusaslicer-configuration
Overall, I would recommend the Creality K1 MAX since it delivers on speed with the large build volume. It's been very reliable for me but I do hope Creality updates the web UI to the full Fluidd interface like on the Sonic Pad. I also hope that they can update the touchscreen interface to have live z adjust in a future firmware release.
I would also recommend this printer to anyone looking for a "out-of-the-box" solution for general use. I was even able to print PETG which can be a little tricky at times - but the Creality Print standard profile worked flawlessly on the first try and I did not need to do any tuning.
If you are new to 3D printing I still think you should have realistic expectations of the learning curve involved with the hobby. The machine works well out of the box but if you happen to run into issues you will likely get frustrated at first. Take a deep breath, stick with it and don't give up! It doesn't matter if you have a K1 MAX, Bambu Labs, or any other popular high speed printer of this era, eventually you will need to do some troubleshooting.
A few other cool tools and things for 3D printer enthusiasts. (As an Amazon associate I may earn a small commission at NO extra cost to you)
