Creality K1 MAX 3D Printer – Speedy / Smart / Super
Creality has gone all in with its new series of 3D printers, promising speed, smarts, and in the K1 Max’s case, a larger build volume.
The K1 Max’s design as a CoreXY style 3D printer does lend itself to speedy printing, with the print bed static for each layer and a belt and rod arrangement for the X- and Y- axes movement.K1 Max makes use of a new and seemingly proprietary ceramic hot end that can heat quickly. Creality states it can go from cold to 200 °C in just 40 seconds. Judging by the company’s description, it is what we’d consider all-metal, with a titanium-alloy heatbreak. It can heat to 300 °C and comes with a hardened steel nozzle as standard. Filament is fed by a dual-gear direct extruder. Further smartness on the K1 Max comes in the form of a camera which, paired with “AI” (here a machine vision system), provides a degree of print overwatch. In addition to remote monitoring of your print in progress, and timelapse recording, the camera system will watch out for debris and other signs of print failure.

12X Faster, Defy Limitations
K1 Max reaches 600mm/s* in only 0.03s based on 20000mm/s² acceleration.
It can be as productive as several 3D printers together.
Nimble Setup for Speed
K1 Max combines the nimble Core XY with a 190g lightweight printhead for less motion inertia. Agile and swift.
Max. 32mm³/s Flow
New ceramic heater, encircling the entire hotend. It heats to 200℃ in 40s and melts the filament instantly.Dual-gear direct extruder, delivering strong extrusion force.Hotend with a titanium alloy heatbreak and a hardened steel nozzle, working well in up to 300℃.
Get Cool Models
On the Fly
Model Cooling by Dual Fans
A large fan on the printhead with air ducts cools the model directly.
An 18W auxiliary fan in the build chamber enhances the cooling effect, too.
The model hardens before any stringing and warping could happen.
It allows support-free bridges and overhangs.
Creality Print 4.3 with Speed Genes
The latest self-developed slicer Creality Print 4.3 includes rich presets,
and streamlines the slicing process into 3 simple stages.
Even better, it bolsters high-speed printing with variable line width, arc path, and so on.
Max Capacity, Efficient Use of Space
K1 Max boasts a 300x300x300mm large build volume, great for rapid prototyping or design verification.
It also offers a high build volume to printer size ratio of 25.5%.
K1 Max is the most size-efficient Fused deposition modeling 3D printer in its class.
AI-assisted Carefree Printing
AI LiDAR Takes Care of the First Layer
Still worry about the first layer? Just leave it all to the AI LiDAR of K1 Max. The 1 μm resolution LiDAR will scan the first layer on its own It will pause printing and tell you immediately if something goes wrong.
AI Camera Keeps a Keen Watch
K1 Max uses an AI camera to watch over spaghetti failure, foreign objects, debris, etc.
It will alert you when an error occurs.
It also supports real-time monitoring and creates time-lapses for sharing.
Smart System, Unbridled Performance
K1 Max adopts the smart Creality OS. It features a straightforward UI,
and syncs data and commands with PC, phone, Cloud, and add-on modules.
The snappy dual-core 1.2GHz CPU powers high-speed printing with ease.
The 8G ROM stores up to 400 model files and enables quick writing and reading.
Intelligent Aid to Your Print Farm
Once K1 Max is connected via WiFi or RJ45 Ethernet port to the internet or data-secure LAN,
you can monitor and control the printing from a PC or phone with Creality Print software or Creality Cloud.
Even better, when many K1 Max printers are online, they can be easily clustered or grouped for volume production.
Trustworthy Print Quality
Rigid Frame, Stable Quality
The frame of K1 Max is built with rigid die-cast aluminum alloy parts.
It enables steady printing at high speed. And the print quality is excellent the whole time.
Delicate Texture without Z-banding
The upgraded Z-axis with more accurate positioning reduces Z-banding effectively.
The texture has never been so subtle.
Smooth Surface with Input Shaping
A G-sensor in the printhead measures the resonance frequencies of high-speed printing and shapes the input to mitigate it. No more ghosting or ringing on the print.
Better Feeding with Motion Advance
The motion advance function delivers the optimal feeding flow. It reduces blobs and oozes effectively.
Intuitive for Everyone
Hands-free Auto Leveling
Strain sensors in the heatbed generate an accurate leveling mesh for auto compensation.
Print Right out of the Box
K1 Max is assembled and calibrated before shipment and built-in with a boot-up quick guide.
You can start printing the moment your K1 Max arrives.
Minimal Operations, If Any
Pragmatic & Stylish
Styling of the Future
Effective Air Purifier
The built-in air filters will purify unhealthy compounds generated during printing,
making printing much more pleasant.
