printed the lid extender and lid hinges from some carbon fiber i'd used to print the side mount. The hanger worked great on the hinges for me too. i should have printed the mod to relocate the sensor first, the carbon fiber got hung up feeding from the side to the back and had a do over on the lid extender, fed from the back using a dryer instead and printed without issue. Parts printed beautifully, look and function well, only had issue with hole alignment on one corner. i've ordered some nylon for the door hinges, i think that's a good call on your part, plus i want to see how the K1C prints nylon. Thanks again, for me, these are all great upgrades.

Glad to see another video. And love the pod cast. I have a k1 with a lot of mods including the riser. I originally used pla like you did and it started to warp after a while as I print quite a bit of abs. So I ended up reprinting the riser in ABS. So maybe you will have better luck as you used CF PLA. I might be a bit more temperature resistant. I still love the k1. Once rooted and fixing the bed and making it level it is a great printer and is now my favorite out of my 4 printers.

@UG3DBoss-5410 күн бұрын
It isn’t a problem for the spool to be on the back, it is a preference. Having hardware to mount side or back leaves it up to the end user to decide. Some people may need it mounted on the back, like me. My printers are closer together, having the spool on the side is not ideal for me, as I would only fit 3 printers on a rack, But with back mounted spool i can fit 4 printers on a the rack and i have a walkway to reach the back of my printers easily.
@saddle19403 ай бұрын
I still cannot feed the filament into my K1C easily and am tempted to feed it through the roof in a vertical loop like the old Flashforge Finders used to. The filament goes through a sharp turn just before the extruder and I'm having to push it hard to get it loading. Maybe make a large tall plastic cover for it. If it gets to that stage, I'd also move the filament sensor to the side front to make loading easy while facing it.
@fuelvolts8 күн бұрын
I have a K1 SE (K1C without an enclosure) so this isn't super useful, but I don't mind the filament spool in the back as my printer is on the right side of my work bench with room on the right side for me to walk around to load filament. Plus, I don't have the screws on the side to even mount a side mounted filament holder.

I just bought a K1C from Creality and am in the process of assembling it right now, and really appreciate all the work you have put nto the upgrade, and am hoping you can help me (I am willing to pay $$). My unit didn't come with the triangular piece to hold the filament spools on the side of the casing. Have, by and chance, designed an .stl for this triaangular piece? Noel
