This is the K1C from Creality. It's new, but most of it isn't. Let's see what's what.
Addendum: I also noted that there's a rubber strip on the door hinge to help stop air getting past the gap in the glass on the K1C.

cant wait for the k1c s1 v2 neo max 10 in like a year

@henrymach

The thing is Bambu (X1) has carbon in the name so Creality wanted to have that too

@justinchamberlin4195

Creality obsoleting a printer model? History tells us that this is highly unlikely...for every Ender 4, OG Ender 2, CR-7, and CR-8 that got retired, they have at least four or five different versions of the Ender 3. And that's not really a joke or exaggeration, either, they still sell OG Ender 3s despite there being absolutely no reason to do so even for tinkerers as long as the Ender 3 Pro exists.

@samk2407

I hate that they won't just call it the K2

@Hatemode_NJ

I've owned two Crealitys and have about 15 benchy boats and that's it. Every other print fails.

@Dark0Storm

Wait. They are so aware that side mounted spool holders are preferable to rear mounted that they actually include a side mounted holder print with their printer.... but still left the crappy rear mounted holder on the machine. 🙄

@Daves3DProjects

K1 Max rocks. It rocks back and forward and all over the place at high speeds. I like it.

@saddle1940

So far on my new K1C,: The surface finish on vertical walls is a bit rough. ABS prints suffer layer separation. Filament loading is hard due to the sharp angle it goes through just before the extruder, you have to push hard on the filament to get it around the corner and engaged. If you were only doing PLA, I'd replace the tube with one going up and over to the head and leave the lid off. Positive though, it certainly does run fast.

@Axel-gh6vj

I feel like the name change is just to stop people associating the regular updated K1 with the shitty first version

@MetalheadAndNerd

Do I see correctly that they use toothless idler pulleys for the belts? I thought that's considered bad practice because the belts rattle over them instead of running smoothly. Isn't that correct anymore?

@Reds3DPrinting

I seriously cannot wait to get my K1C. My v3 has been an absolute beast.

@802Garage

It seems good overall. I think I'd go with a Qidi X-Plus 3 or Flashforge Adventurer 5M right now though TBH. This still has a few improvements to be made, but I gope like the next Max version is even better. Looking forward to the next nozzle video!

@logicalfundy

Would like to see more standardization of the quick change nozzles - everybody seems to want to do their own proprietary thing, with varying levels of success. Annoyingly enough, most of them are actually from E3D yet instead of licensing the Revo they still go proprietary.

@EsotericArctos

I am still waiting for the Ender 5 Plus S1, but it seems they are not doing that yet. K1 and K1C seems to be only the Camera being the difference. Maybe some slight incremental changes, aside from the extruder, which they have updated the Extruder like they have on all the other printers. The Sprite style extruder is really quite good for an economical printer, and even though the K1 is not as cheap as Ender series, they are still economical compared to many other printers of similar style. Creality have really come a long way with extruder design in the last 12 to 18 months

@MatrixRay19

Hey, the reason for the Nextruder having grub screws is that the heat block is not fixed, unlike on the K1C where it is, so it doesn't need them.

@unixfg

My K1 has a set screw on the other side of that heatsink, right where your arrow pointed. Did they remove that on the K1C?

@McRootbeer

Off topic, but have you ever tested extruding filament widths smaller than your nozzle diameter? I remember you had success printing thicker, but I'm curious if you tried smaller (say .2 wide extrusions with a .4 nozzle)?
