[@JakeFaustner-j3h]

Absolutely loved it! Creality’s directions are written in the worst chi-english I ever tried to interpret. I’m no longer pulling my hair out while bouncing my head off the desk thanks to you!!! Thanks!

[@InventorsGarage]

I believe I can read chines english better because my english isn't very good. Thank you for following me. I'm working on new videos focused on Creality Print 5, it's coming soon.

[@Zatnn]

The fact this is ai translated is pretty awesome, I couldn't really tell unless you held an object close to your face! Incredible. As a 3D modeller and sculptor, I'm really looking forward for my k1 max to arrive. Just scrubbing up on my knowledge so that I can get straight to it as soon as it arrives! Thanks for the effort and thought you put in to producing your content. Definitely earned a new subscriber.

[@pahaha70]

I got my K1 2 weeks ago. It's my 2nd printer - my first was a gift 6 months ago. This video is exactly what I need right now. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@jayrepairs]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I have been searching on how to do this, please keep making videos, you are an amazing teacher!

[@alankelly2019]

I’ve learned more from this video than anything else I’ve found on KZbin. Thank you

[@dorygorell9415]

ME TOO! SO GOOD!!

[@dablabworldwide9802]

I want to say thank you to you digital inventor because you're clear and concise explanations and resolutions are exactly where I have been stuck. Can't wait to get into the office tomorrow and do everything I learned.

[@kenlee224]

Excellent video, I have never seen a calibration video on KZbin so comprehensive on any 3D printing machines. It restores my confidence about the K1 Max machine I intended to purchase but everyone in the markets tend to rank the Bambu Lab over the Creality machines.

[@InventorsGarage]

Yeah, that's the million question. It depends on your country and the kind of job you want to do with your printer. Bambu is more like a plug'n play'n done. Creality K1/K1 Max offers more possibilities for customizations, not exactly like an Ender, but it is still more than a Bambu Printer. The cost of a printer and replacement parts depends on your country, while in the USA, you pay $1.5k for an X1; in Brazil, it has been sold for $3.5k because of taxes, which is also the reality in other countries.

[@sethalbert1239]

Tuned mine recently. I was impressed initially, then I tuned it. Got the thing crushing 24/7

[@henrymach]

The funniest thing is that I'm a Brazilian watching this video in english

[@stephenbaldwin1620]

Thank you for your time in making these videos and tutorials for everyone. The way you are explaining everyone is great, especially for those of us who are new to 3D Printing.👍👍

[@Lawrence_Marks]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I have been looking for something specific to these printers for over a month now. Can't wait to put this to use when my replacement parts for my broken Max come in. I would expect that the new extruder should resolve a lot of the issues. Jams like that are not supposed to happen on printers like these. These are not meant to be like Ender 3's, they are far too expensive for that. I get my own parts tomorrow and I hope its resolved for me as well.

[@CharlesHarvey-y8o]

Thank you for this video. As a beginner it has helped me greatly in the setup of different materials to get quality prints.

[@AlexLaser-h3q]

I use K1 MAX from more than a month, and the machine is very impressive. In the beginning it wasn't, but after some tweaking I was very happy. You really need to put it on a stable surface, and set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz. The unique of this printer is that from the start is OK, but there is a plenty to upgrade and make it great.

[@antisocial77]

set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz how?

[@AlexLaser-h3q]

@@antisocial77 use the "Creality belt tension meter" found in "Printables" You tube is deleting my comments when i post the link, and this is very annoying.

[@Lawrence_Marks]

@@antisocial77 get an Oscilloscope to measure it. You don't need the actual equipment, there's phone apps for it to use with your microphone. You put it up near the belt and you do a bit of a pull flick of tension on the belt to see what frequency you get. Then you tighten or loosen it at the gear corners until the tension frequency matches the range.

[@InventorsGarage]

Just to be clear, I didn't test it, just sharing the link www.printables.com/model/523382-creality-k1-belt-tension-meter

[@20Viper05]

I'm blown away at how well the AI translation did. I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell by the audio. Also, very helpful video. My K1 Max has been printing pretty good for a couple months now but I need to go in and fine tune it.

[@Etb323]

Awesome video with great info. Gonna take a shot at calibrating my printer following your instructions. Also the “AI” translation is quite good for what it is.

[@rebeccasantiago1]

Mr. Inventor I would like to thank you for your video, which has been the most informative. I am new to 3D printing, It is hard to find information on the calibration without having the feel am being sold something. It is knowledge imparted here not propaganda. I wish there were more content creators like you. Happy Holidays. I am happy to say you have a new subscriber.

[@InventorsGarage]

Thank you very much Rebecca! I'll keep trying to produce valuable and impartial content while maintaining channel independence

[@Cronniss]

Thank you for this video, and for having it done in English! I am so new to 3D Printing that I am still doing research on which printer to purchase for my first one. I've pretty much settled on the K1 Max, and this video really gives me some good information on how to tune it in after I get it. Again, thank you!

[@MrPanaramuh]

Spend the extra $200 and get a bambu x1c.

[@jakdrosa]

@@MrPanaramuh Can it print so fast as K1 Max?

[@MrPanaramuh]

@@jakdrosa Faster. Has carbon rods. so gantry weight is limited. We've printed up to 600mm/s outer walls with no detriment to quality, granted it was simple walls, but still. K1 max says 600mm/s as well but...we all know how printer companies glorify their machines.

[@keenang8592]

Excellent way to create a baseline standard for each user case. Very informative. I’m just a beginner and I’ve learned a lot . Thank you.

[@ShaunBennett]

I just got my K1 yesturday. My first core xy and im astonashed by the 16 min benchy it comes with on the Usb. On my bedslingers I'm used to a 45+ min benchy on a fast profile and 60min + on my slower more quailty centerd profiles....and the K1 spits out a Perfect benchy in 16m:37s. So I got it rooted and installed Klipper, KAMP turned the Input sharpes and PA and am ready to squeeze the best I can outta this beast. So thanks for this video. Just what I needed

[@mdpminc1]

One of the most informatives instructional video i've seen in a while. Thank you for your effort.

[@Dom_Cobain]

Thank you so much! Just bought the K1 in addition to my SLA Printer. Now i know what to calibrate and what the values mean! Keep on with the good Quality work.🍪

[@jerryw5225]

Well done, concise without wayward speculation. Thanks

[@r1150ra]

Very helpful. This is the best information that I've seen for calibration. You explained everything very well.

[@InventorsGarage]

Thank you 🤗

[@sethalbert1239]

After the new orca slicer update, I ditched all my tuning settings and went to the standard presets. They're working flawlessly for me.

[@sprN0VA]

Thanks for sharing! I just bought a K1 for my first 3D printer and am always looking for useful information on how to use it better.

[@garylester55]

Hi Digital Inventor. I bought the Creality K1 about 3 weeks ago. Thank you for this detailed Video, I didn’t know you could calibrate the different filaments, creating a profile. I did notice the silk gold PLA has notchers from the gears that feed it into the extruder, it’s only slight, but doesn’t seem to be a problem. Kind regards, Gary

[@Lada_Niva]

Dear Digital Inventor, you are a professional! Sharing your experience, and ability to to share long videos and keep the concentration of your audience is a trait to be utelised more by you - remarkable. Please be so kind as to advise on reasons for PETG to just break while just sitting in the printer, not busy printing! This happened a few times with the same reel of filament! This PETG filament also broke off while printing, well some time within a print job. It was a newly purchased reel of 1Kg PETG grey coloured filament, that we opened just three days ago. The reel of PETG was supplied in a sealed plastic bag, complete with diseccant in the bag. We also experienced a lot of stringing with this PETG filament. Regards

[@InventorsGarage]

Hi Lada, thank you for your kind words. Every filament brand has a different chemical composition and demands calibration. PETG is a very flexible material, and breaking so easily is weird; it could be a low-quality product or a bad batch. Some PLA brands become frágil when absorbing humidity, but I never saw it happening with PETG.

[@PeterVanLaarhoven81]

The brittleness generally happens when your filament absorbs too much moisture. This is very common when you open a filament but don't use it for a few weeks or months. There are filament dryers that can help. Some people recommend putting their filament in the oven for a few hours but I would not recommend putting potentially toxic chemicals in the same oven that is used for food.

[@uniearesende]

WOW! THat's awesome! I'm from Brazil and watch you in portuguese. Congratulations for sharing your knowledge in english also.

[@scottbusskohl3688]

Very informative and helpful to those of us that are new to 3d printing. Thank you

[@martinalan2199]

Another thank you again you are now compiling my go to 3d printing video bible for me ... !

[@Jamesn-js1zp]

Your explanation on tuning the Creality K1 for different filaments is well received, thank you. I have been 3D printing for close on 12 years now, owned a couple of Creality Ender 3 printers and purchased a Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon and the Creality K1 Max when they first came out. However, I've since sold the Bamboo because I personally find the Creality K1 Max to be a better printer. My only hope is that one day Creality will design a multi-material attachment similar to the X1 Carbon. Regarding your AI translation, well done and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@InventorsGarage]

James, stay tuned on the channel by January 8th. I think you'll like what I'm bringing here ;)

[@sammeyers7103]

Very good video. I feel that the calibration process should be a part of the introduction to 3D printers that was missed in the unboxing of this product. Thank you for this detail

[@TGMisKillingTheMiddleClass]

If I hadn't seen the text in the corner I would have never known this was AI translated. The English is absolutely perfect

[@802Garage]

He appears as an asparagus. He is a cooked asparagus. Hahaha. Awesome video. The translation tech is awesome. Hilarious how it anthropomorphizes the filament and prints though.

[@brocsamson]

This video was SUPER helpful. I feel real stupid for not even noticing the calibration tab in the slicer software. Bought my K1 6ish months ago and there felt like very little info or videos out there that really helped with the K1 specifically. Definitely nothing like this that shows how to take advantage of the printer and the accompanying slicer software. Bit annoying that a lot if not most videos say use Orca or use Prusa and root your machine and do this or that when Im just a beginner and Im like "I just need to learn wtf Im doing first." Great video, very helpful and informative.

[@dankeel3899]

Thanks Wesley, while I could afford the K1 Max I would not be able to keep running their Hyper PLA so this is great

[@aeonjoey3d]

I just got my K1, loving it so far, thanks so much for making this vid

[@DigitalDoyle]

Useful video! Thank you! I'll be tuning my K1 for the first time today to work out some ringing and nit issues I'm having printing PETG. Also, no problems with the AI translation. Very impressed at the quality, and will definitely be considering it to help expand the global audience of my upcoming videos. Much appreciated! Keep up the great work!

[@InventorsGarage]

Thank you Doyle. Yes PETG use to have some waves on printing, I believe it is related to the material characteristics, it is harder to get on good appearance, but is very good on resistance.

[@ChrisMarshall-l2k]

So great full for finding this video had issues with prints and never new why and turns out I’ve never set the printer up properly

[@philb2334]

I haven't taken my K1 Max out of its box yet, hopefully tomorrow is the day.. I have a automotive software app from Brazil, the app interface is in English but any support videos are in Portuguese. If you want a laugh watch a Portuguese video using the google translate function in the youtube video captions. They are useless at translating between the two. Thanks for the video

[@lithgowlights859]

My K1 Max is being shipped at the moment, but I stumbled on your video, so thanks for the information. I'm actually amazed at the AI translation more than the printer, thats the first video, at least that I know of, where AI has been used to translate AND make it look like you are speaking english. Sure it's sort of noticeable with your beard, but wow, cant wait to see the future in this field.

[@amoyer1441]

This is more helpful then the Creality Wiki write ups on calibrating. I went through the temp, flow rate, pressure advance and max flow rate. The pressure advance and flow rate was hard to read as most looked good but had some layer separation while using ABS. Any thoughts on how to get ABS calibrated correctly?

[@chilson88]

Great video, would have never guessed it was translated via AI.

[@DiscoStu30]

Belt tension is the biggest physical adjustment needed to get cleaner prints...... mine were extremely overtightened. Creality CS themselves were unable to advise the K1 Max recommended Hz (K1 standard is 110hz).....so i started at roughly 110 which i was not happy with, and have slightly tightened to roughly 120hz. Orca Slicer is far better than Creality Print IMO.... i also spent alot of time tuning the acceleration and speed to get my profile to a point where i am happy with the quality and speed. Creality Printers are fantastic, i have loved and used them for over 6 years.....however.....Bambu appear to be the better option for those not wanting to tweak and tune.

[@prestonkropf4093]

This is 100 percent where I’m at. I feel like with Bambu you get the printer and what you see is what you get. Won’t be much tuning or improvements made to it. But with creality machines there is always the possibility of tuning/upgrades to always improve your prints. It keeps 3d printing interesting to me. I have a k1 max.

[@DiscoStu30]

i love tweaking and tuning as well :).... have done since my early Ender 2's and 3's, and cr10s pro. I think learning on cheap machines, knowing you will need to upgrade, tweak, tune etc, helps to diagnose problems on the newer faster machines. Faster = Quality issues are drastically exaggerated. :)

[@antisocial77]

how can i measure 120 hz?

[@benmurphy2319]

​@@antisocial77 you use a sound app on your phone to measure the sound frequency when U pluck the belt

[@AlexLaser-h3q]

Belt tension, bed leveling(use soft spacers and knobs), and really well fixed table or whatever surface, just make shure to not moving. And today I made some extruder(V2) tests and it looks like it starts skipping on on around 28mm3 flow- and this is with the CHCB-OT hotend, which performs better with around 4mm3 compare to the original ceramic one. The next upgrade is the nozzle and the next version extruder(V3) is on its way from China.

[@kelvinkennard1280]

great video helped me a lot

[@mao5990]

Great video, thankyou for sharing. The link for calibration tutorial in your description no longer works. Can I find this information on a blog so I can do it slowly step by step ? Thankyou

[@MrQuickEdits]

I love videos like this. Thanks

[@2ndprotocol]

Great content and impressive AI. Can I ask what service you are using for the Language dubbing?

[@PeterVanLaarhoven81]

Great video! On the 2nd step of flow calibration, are you sure you are correct about the results being added or subtracted from your initial best setting? It looks like when you gave a "-5" result from step one that it then bracketed that value by +/- 5. So, if you got a result of "-3" for step 2 that would be the value you use, not "-8". If it were relative to the "-5", it would have given you an available range of "+5" to "-5", centered on "0".

[@staffofevil]

Yes . i thing like you. and i dont understand

[@traviss3632]

[@thervcarnivore]

Thank you so much, but first, I have to comment. I cannot believe how amazing the AI translator is. I didn't realize that you're speaking in Portuguese, and the translator software is manipulating your facial features to sync the english language. This is purely shocking to me, and ridiculously amazing. We are living in very awesome times, or very scary. Regardless, thank you for this video. I can't wait to see others as well. What translator software is it that you use?

[@Lawrence_Marks]

Just wanting to be helpful, but I believe your Max Flowrate calculation formula may be a bit wrong. You were right that you take the half step of 36, so the test reflects 18 mm/s. However, you didn't start at zero, you started at five. So your max flow rate is actually 23. That being said, generally you want to take about 10% off of it just to help ensure quality. Anyhow, hope that helps someone.

[@SergioSargenti]

[@jessemcclellan3685]

I have a couple running questions. So if I want to move up from a .4 to a .6 nozzle should I redo the calibration over with the larger nozzle? Second question. Would going to a larger nozzle maybe .8 help with printing tpu or the softer filaments?
