@@Mo-wb7rn I use a Polymaker ASA profile. Can't remember if it came with Orcaslicer or if I got it elsewhere. When I set it up, it was before Orcaslicer supported the K1. I don't use the aux fan at all when printing my ASA. It causes warping on larger prints.
Got a K1 pre ordered for my first printer, went through the school of hard knocks with the early extruder but creality have been fantastic with support. Sent a new extruder out and hot end which solved the issue and now I am selling printed ABS parts non stop. Just ordered a K1 Max which arrived today to fit larger parts to add to the production line. I can see getting at least two more K1s to speed up production now that I have sorted ABS workload. Esun ABS+ is a good middle range price point but I would like to try the polylite as well. Thanks
I have been printing ASA and TPU out of the box consistently and without issues from day one. Amazing and dependable machine. With Bambu and the K1 Max, filament printing is FINALLY at a place where anyone can easily print anything with any filament out of the box without issues. This is the beginning of a 3D explosion. Wish I had one of these when I was a kid. It would be my favorite toy.
I've had my K1 since January. I got it for several reasons. Adding to my small army of bedslingers the k1 was a answer to the fact that you need a 3d printer to fix 3d printers. Total game changer. I wanted one that would just print. No long setup or upgrades...it would be set and forget so that when the bedslingers failed I coulld quickly fab up new parts as needed. Also the enclosed work space was a big draw as it would mean better results with ABS CF-PA and ASA. I got lucky that my K1 was built after all the issues with the extruder so it really was play 'n play. I will be looking at getting a K1 max soon for larger builds.
Glad to see you included the ventilation warning. No enclosure filter can filter out plastic fumes like some people seem to think. That print quality looks great for ABS, do you know the max bed temp for the K1?
I have owned five Creality printers. My most recent have been a K1C and K1 Max. I bought both because I wanted fast enclosed printers to print ABS and ASA. While I haven't actually printed either of those materials yet (want to build exhaust systems), I have thoroughly enjoyed both printers.
My K1 Max is great with ASA and ABS. I've not had any warping or splitting yet, with the chamber temperature being around 45C. And even though I've had a bedslinger in an enclosure already, the Max is definitely my go-to ABS/ASA printer now.
I had to run to the comments to give my thoughts! I bought an ender 3S one as my first printer a week ago. I have nothing but problems as I have no history with these machines whatsoever. I got so frustrated after spending 17 hours trying to get one print done and now it just sits in the corner of my garage. I purchased a K-1 from Amazon and paid way more than I should. I don’t even care. This thing is worth three times the price to me. I’ve printed multiple things with it absolutely zero problems. Only thing was when I first got it. Every time I would do a print it would shut down every five minutes or so and reboot. I looked it up online because I thought it was maybe a bad machine but it turns out on the left side. There’s a switch whether you have 230 volt, plug, or 115 V. I switched it to the right for 115 and it just keeps cranking things out. I’m trying the carbon fiber tonight so I’ll see what happens!
I’m glad you are happy with the machine! Sorry about the voltage issue, but I’m glad you got that figured out! How are you liking the quality of the prints from it?!
@@LoyalMoses the quality to me I think is excellent, I don’t know all the different settings quite yet. I’m just printing on whatever it says to print on, so it’s a huge learning curve, but I am very happy with some of the modeling stuff so far!
Great educational video! I am getting back into 3D printing to print my prototype product that will sit on the top of water in a swimming pool. ABS seems the best way to go with adding a coding layer after printer for waterproofing.
Hi. Thank you for the video. Could you give most important settings for highest powerful abs outputs? I only know infill as 90% and wall line count 3 . Thanks
I would use as many as 5 walls even! Our shelf brackets here in the studio use 6 walls, and between 30 and 40% infill! 90% is A LOT and has to be super strong.
Yes, it would be right to use these values, especially when we want to produce very strong, functional-based parts that will serve a certain purposes. For example, I will print a balancer for the kayak to be used in the sea. Are there any other values you can suggest?
Had my K1 max busted on arrival, and it was so easy for them to ship the replacement part, whole printer, or a full return (Which is what I opted for).
@LoyalMoses My front glass was shattered during shipping. I thought I'd just get a new one but then the extruder started skipping so just asked to return it anyways. They send a label and was super simple. Only reason I returned it is because I'm moving soon. Will wait for September announcement (want an AMS system) then I'll probably re-order it.
the skipping extruder is a Known Defect in some of the K1's and that why they ship it with either a Replacement extruder in the box or sell you one for like 1 or 2 bucks ( its a 65 part so they Know it fails)@@klaidasrunele waiitng a few months for the bad extruders to be sold out is prob best.
I have just purchased one, I nearly chose the Bambu one after watching the early reviews however I went for the K1 because of the smaller footprint to fit on my desktop and it is easier to get independent parts like nozzles etc. as more of these sell I would expect more support to be available like the Ender 3. I am happy to say that the problems reported on the early reviews seem to have been solved on the units being shipped now from the Creality store as mine produced good prints straight from the box without any alterations suggested in the early reviews. I am glad I went for this now as it is a well built machine and with the added camera is a pleasure to use, and compared to my Prusa Mk3s+ prints a lot quicker and just as good.
One reason why the K1 Max is my 2nd choice (1st is the P1S Combo, unless either Bambu or Creality develops an AMS compatible with the K1s), is the small overall printer dimensions even with a large print volume. If you compare it to a Sovol SV07 Plus, I will need a "Y axis" space of only 462mm (+spool holder) vs 600mm (300mm x 2) on the Sovol. I may print some ABS parts to match the plastic of my Sandtrooper Armour.
I am getting my Creality K1 Max nest week and supper excited. I still use my original CR10 and the CR10 smart and can not believe the good quality I get out of these printers after so many years. Now I need to think about the Creality K2 combo or the Bambu Carbon combo ?? Hopefully after watching a couple of videos I can decide .
Main reason for the K1 is trying to print from tougher materials such as ABS and ASA, because I print parts for tools and parts used outdoors. I printed already some from PLA and PTEG but they didn't last, plus took forever to print a simple thing on my old Elegoo. I was debating between the Bambulab A1, but again, that's a bed slinger- open printer so as much as appealing looking one it is, I needed a sealed chamber. The other BL one looks good, but more expensive.
Couple of things I'd like to address - some of us got $200 OFF coupons from Microcenter for the K1. Brings the price down to $359.00. Second, it's almost criminal seeing such educated and well spoken people in our community with racks and racks of printers not printing - I have heard the argument that it's distracting and noisy when filming content - surely there is a work around here by recording the audio track separately from the video and aligning them in post-production. Great video as usual - keep up the great work.
$359 is a GREAT price! Wow! Our mics are pretty good, and we can cut out a lot of audio background, but our studios are designed for filming and live shows, and we have other areas for printing. It’s all about creating content, and the best way to do it.
I considered the k1 but ultimately i have chosen the xplus 3. Why?? I'm a farmer and my printers are in a workshop without a great amount of heating. The heated workspace in the xplus is a gamechanger. It's in a sense the ultimate farm equipment printer.
@@LoyalMoses Mate, you were the driving factor in getting that machine because you are in many ways relatable to me because of our similar situations, except im from Austria and you clearly from the US. Contact with you would be really awesome. Hope you are doing well. Cheers to your family.
I’ve got a Creality K1 and a Bambu Labs X1C and I can barely see the difference between the two. If I could go back I would have just bought 4 of the Creality K1’s instead of the Bambu Labs X1C w/ AMS tbh
Great info! I just started printing with ASA, I have an AnkerMake M5C. I tweaked the settings recommended for ASA and also bout an enclosure for it. My dilemma is , I designed a tray for my golf cart and the print starts out great but somewhere around halfway the ends come up a little and the tray becomes warped at the bottom. Any suggestions?
You can definitely maintain and increase bed adhesion a few ways. Make sure the build plate is clean, use purple glue stick as an interface layer, or pick up some Vision Miner Nano Polymer Adhesive that is guaranteed to hold down the corners to prevent warping. You can also increase build plate temps a few C, and make sure the printer is in a temperature stable environment, no drafts.
Thank you for the prompt response. The build plate is at 100C, the max it will go. What I don’t understand is the brim was almost impossible to get off the plate. I’ll try the adhesive. Thanks again, I am a newbie to this but learning fast.@@LoyalMoses
@@LoyalMoses one more question if I may, I’m printing the ASA with a brim, the part comes off the hotbed fine but I can’t the brim off, how do I remove it? It is a textured plate.
I like my K1 but can’t seem to fix my VFA problem. I tried messing with the springs in the hotend and adjusting the belt tension. To little effect, did you overcome this problem?
CoreXY appeals to me. The speed also interests me as well as the fact it is fully enclosed. I do plan to print ASA so this has my attention although I m concerned about fumes while printing. I have been known to be somewhat sensitive to chemicals so this is a concern. I think I could print close to my window with the window open. Would this be good enough?
My K1 has been a dedicated ASA printer, it just works with that stuff SO WELL! I do wish it worked better with PETG, I just can't get the stringing down....
I print PETG all the time and have little to no stringing issues. I'd look into your slicer settings or try a different brand of PETG. I use Duramic PETG and it has been printing perfectly. If your environment is humid, I'd look into getting a filament dryer as moisture in the filament will cause increased stringing.
Great info on the K1 as well as printing with ABS/ASA. I have only ever printed with PLA, but I only have an original CR-10. Slow AF. The only minor draw back for the K1 is that it's 220x220. That fits most people, but I'd like a little bigger 'just in case'. Also, as a little note. Don't put a red border on your thumb nail. UA-cam puts a red line under previously seen videos. At first glance the red border makes me think I already saw the video. But that's probably just me and my 58 years old eyes. Thanks for the info.
So i have an abs question. I have been working on a part with an infill mod at the bottom which sets the base to 30 triangles. The global print setting call for 100 % aligned recticular. At the transistion from the infill modifier when the print switches to 100% it starts warping badly. I'm on the 3 try and so i think: Option 1. print the whole thing @100% 2. Print in a different filiment. 3. add more thin modifiers to create a more gradual increase from 35% to 100%. But I would appriciate any ideas and suggestion you or your viewers may have. ABS print setting: 260 hotend 110 bed seems to work well and on Orca slicer I am able to move prints at 100-150mms but for this i;m maxing out @ about 75-100mms with 50%mms bridging. Cooling off except for 20% @ bridging. Please and thank you. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Warning happens during the cooling process when the polymer chains are shrinking unevenly. This happens with filaments like ABS as you are experiencing and can be quite common If there is too much mass, then there is uneven cooling, especially if you have drafts of air that can find their way to your printer. I would recommend an enclosure, and keep the temps as high as you can in there, and also ensure you aren't printing too thick of objects that can't maintain temperature and will shrink unevenly.
I have K1 it is great!... and not so great. The speed and quality is wow! The QC? not so sure about. Had mine 25 days. First week... the bed went out of whack and nothing would stick. spent 10 days with no luck on customer service, and finally figured out a solution on my own. Two days ago, I woke up and went to the printer office, turned on the power, pos fan whirled up, interior light came on and that was it... not boot up, no screen. Checked all the cables (just in case a mouse chewed on it... cough cough, they always ask this Einstein question), all cables good, got out my voltage tester and tested every spot - all good. Checked the hot end board - all good. Took the screen off, took the bottom off and check all the motherboard connections ... all good. JUST DEAD.
What do you about air quality in the winter? I want to start printing ASA at times for functional parts, but its getting cold here, so leaving the window open is not really an option. I plan on buying a air purifier with active carbon filter in it, but not sure if that would be enough on its own.
great vido I Just Got an Ender 3V3SE and it had a bent bed When i Finaly got hold of Sales it Was Sorted Staright away and they are sending me a new Bed Great Work Creality I am Waiting Until the 14th September now for there new Printer To see what they Bring to The Table to Compete with the new Bambo Labs Machine on 20th Thaks again for your GReat Videos
Hey man, been searching all over the internet for K1 ABS print settings. Know of any links for temperature settings of have any recommendations? All my tests keep coming out like spaghetti and slide all over the bed. Maybe some glue stick? I typically do alright without glue on PLA, but maybe ABS is different?
Look at frame 6:27 - he sets the bed temperature at 100 degrees but my question on that issue is this the temperature on the actual bed build plate or the temperature on the sensor? There is a 10~14 degree difference, with the side fan on the K1 cooling I've had corners warp off the bed but when I adjust the temperature to make up for the loss so that the build plate is at 100 degrees, 14 degrees above the sensor, it doesn't warp. Bed temperature, glue and textured build plate combined is what make models stay on the bed, but that is only after handling extrusion, speed and height issues, but I'm still learning about 3D printing and have a long way to go..
@@LoyalMoses yeah I guess my enclosed ender was is such a large enclosure I never noticed. Make me not want to use abs as much lol. I know the bambu has a filter so that's nice.
I bought the K1 Max to exclusively print ASA and it has been an absolute nightmare over the past month. Every print has poor adhesion and parts above the brim layer end up lifting and turning stringy and hairy (not the normal type of stringing, the layers don't stick. I managed to print the front door cover to help with chamber temps but even with insulation around the sides, back and top and the fan completely blocked off, the chamber never goes over 45c. Tried every combination of bed and extrustion temps beyond the recommended range, dried for over 24hrs. Is the 45c chamber temp my problem?
Sorry to hear this! You can print ASA and ABS without an enclosure, so the enclosure won’t be the problem. It should simple help with reducing warping. I would make sure that your first layer is squished down as much as possible to a build plate that has been cleaned with soap and water and then glue stick applied. Join our discord, we’d love to help you find success! loyal.ms/discord
Do you need to filter the abs? Newer to the hobby never printed anything but PLA but would like to now that im printing more than just little "niknaks and doodads" haha thank you in advance
great video, love the explanation :D but i am certain that pushing ads in a app also contribute to the less liking of the company, but i am also rooting for them if they can improve so keep up the good work and suprice us more with those tech facts that are fun to know :D
Being pedantic here but ABS is not more rigid than PLA. PLA is pretty much the most rigid of all of the popular printing plastics (pla, petg, asa, abs).
Another, as you brought it up - fumes, subject. I pooh poohed any talk about health issues about any and all filaments until I made some watermelon cradles for the garden. 100% of the watermelons I put on the 3d printed cradles died. 100% of the watermelons I left on dirt are doing great.... not a good sign.

@@LoyalMoses creality k1. have you tested it? even with the new extruder and hot end (because the pieces they send are faulty). you cant print the hole area. try.

How bad is it? Join our discord and you can share pics and get help.
CoreXY appeals to me. The speed also interests me as well as the fact it is fully enclosed. I do plan to print ASA so this has my attention although I m concerned about fumes while printing. I have been known to be somewhat sensitive to chemicals so this is a concern. I think I could print close to my window with the window open. Would this be good enough?
If the exhaust is blowing out the window, maybe. But in any enclosed space, I wouldn’t advise it.
My K1 has been a dedicated ASA printer, it just works with that stuff SO WELL!
I do wish it worked better with PETG, I just can't get the stringing down....
It’s a great machine! Let me try some PETG and see what happens.
I print PETG all the time and have little to no stringing issues. I'd look into your slicer settings or try a different brand of PETG. I use Duramic PETG and it has been printing perfectly. If your environment is humid, I'd look into getting a filament dryer as moisture in the filament will cause increased stringing.
Creaility Print's default Generic-ABS_1.75 slicer profile has Print Cooling enabled (turned on). I thought that was a no-no for ABS printing.
You can definitely use or not use cooling, very much depends on the geometry, size and what you are trying to accomplish.
Great info on the K1 as well as printing with ABS/ASA. I have only ever printed with PLA, but I only have an original CR-10. Slow AF. The only minor draw back for the K1 is that it's 220x220. That fits most people, but I'd like a little bigger 'just in case'.
Also, as a little note. Don't put a red border on your thumb nail. UA-cam puts a red line under previously seen videos. At first glance the red border makes me think I already saw the video. But that's probably just me and my 58 years old eyes.
Thanks for the info.
Thank you and thank you! Good point about the thumbnails!
Same thing I thought I already saw this!
i have a cr10 and a ender 3 i just bought a k1 i love my creality printers
Awesome!
I’m having a really hard time printing with ABS in my converted P1 P to a P1 S. Help
Right now at Microcenter...K1 is $349!
Such a good price!
So i have an abs question. I have been working on a part with an infill mod at the bottom which sets the base to 30 triangles. The global print setting call for 100 % aligned recticular. At the transistion from the infill modifier when the print switches to 100% it starts warping badly. I'm on the 3 try and so i think: Option 1. print the whole thing @100% 2. Print in a different filiment. 3. add more thin modifiers to create a more gradual increase from 35% to 100%. But I would appriciate any ideas and suggestion you or your viewers may have.
ABS print setting: 260 hotend 110 bed seems to work well and on Orca slicer I am able to move prints at 100-150mms but for this i;m maxing out @ about 75-100mms with 50%mms bridging. Cooling off except for 20% @ bridging.
Please and thank you. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Warning happens during the cooling process when the polymer chains are shrinking unevenly. This happens with filaments like ABS as you are experiencing and can be quite common
If there is too much mass, then there is uneven cooling, especially if you have drafts of air that can find their way to your printer.
I would recommend an enclosure, and keep the temps as high as you can in there, and also ensure you aren't printing too thick of objects that can't maintain temperature and will shrink unevenly.
I have K1 it is great!... and not so great.
The speed and quality is wow!
The QC? not so sure about.
Had mine 25 days.
First week... the bed went out of whack and nothing would stick. spent 10 days with no luck on customer service, and finally figured out a solution on my own.
Two days ago, I woke up and went to the printer office, turned on the power, pos fan whirled up, interior light came on and that was it... not boot up, no screen. Checked all the cables (just in case a mouse chewed on it... cough cough, they always ask this Einstein question), all cables good, got out my voltage tester and tested every spot - all good. Checked the hot end board - all good. Took the screen off, took the bottom off and check all the motherboard connections ... all good.
JUST DEAD.
Oh no! Do you have it back and working again?
@LoyalMoses no they don't work weekends so will have to wait till tomorrow to see what kind of support they provide.
What do you about air quality in the winter? I want to start printing ASA at times for functional parts, but its getting cold here, so leaving the window open is not really an option. I plan on buying a air purifier with active carbon filter in it, but not sure if that would be enough on its own.
Vent the enclosure out a window would be my suggestion. Seal it up to prevent cold air from coming in.
great vido I Just Got an Ender 3V3SE and it had a bent bed When i Finaly got hold of Sales it Was Sorted Staright away and they are sending me a new Bed Great Work Creality I am Waiting Until the 14th September now for there new Printer To see what they Bring to The Table to Compete with the new Bambo Labs Machine on 20th Thaks again for your GReat Videos
Very nice! Thank you and I hope everything gets sorted out!
i ,print my abs with hairspray, 0 adhesion issues on my ender 3v2 no enclosure
Hairspray is great stuff!
What are you using for bed adhesion ?
On this print I simply cleaned the build plate and applied a thin layer of purple glue stick.
Any big difference between Purple or Clear glue stick for ABS bed adhesion ? @@LoyalMoses
Hey man, been searching all over the internet for K1 ABS print settings. Know of any links for temperature settings of have any recommendations? All my tests keep coming out like spaghetti and slide all over the bed. Maybe some glue stick? I typically do alright without glue on PLA, but maybe ABS is different?
Look at frame 6:27 - he sets the bed temperature at 100 degrees but my question on that issue is this the temperature on the actual bed build plate or the temperature on the sensor? There is a 10~14 degree difference, with the side fan on the K1 cooling I've had corners warp off the bed but when I adjust the temperature to make up for the loss so that the build plate is at 100 degrees, 14 degrees above the sensor, it doesn't warp. Bed temperature, glue and textured build plate combined is what make models stay on the bed, but that is only after handling extrusion, speed and height issues, but I'm still learning about 3D printing and have a long way to go..
What slicer are you using?! Mine had ABS settings in Creality Print slicer,
FYI: Microcenter has the K1 on sale for $349
Awesome price isn’t it?!
@@LoyalMoses indeed. I picked one up yesterday
Congrats!!!
Been printing abs recently and noticed a white build up coating the inside of my printer.
That film is yuck. I’ve cleaned the inside of every machine to remove it over the last few years.
@@LoyalMoses yeah I guess my enclosed ender was is such a large enclosure I never noticed. Make me not want to use abs as much lol. I know the bambu has a filter so that's nice.
I made the same part out of PLA and ABS and the ABS part was more brittle
Oh wow.
How fast print speed can you effectively print ASA on the K1 Max?
ABS and ASA are great to print at full speed! Cooling on the k1 is really great!
What about Ultimaker??
?
@@LoyalMoses back in the day ultimaker already provided a great opensource core xy 😏
So if abs shrinks 1.5% dors the software adjust to keep dimensions correct?
You can definitely scale models to accommodate for shrinkage, and it is a very common practice.
I brought mine becasce it will print ABS as I have 6, 1/14 scale construction equipment to print and build
Awesome!
I bought the K1 Max to exclusively print ASA and it has been an absolute nightmare over the past month. Every print has poor adhesion and parts above the brim layer end up lifting and turning stringy and hairy (not the normal type of stringing, the layers don't stick. I managed to print the front door cover to help with chamber temps but even with insulation around the sides, back and top and the fan completely blocked off, the chamber never goes over 45c. Tried every combination of bed and extrustion temps beyond the recommended range, dried for over 24hrs. Is the 45c chamber temp my problem?
Sorry to hear this! You can print ASA and ABS without an enclosure, so the enclosure won’t be the problem. It should simple help with reducing warping.
I would make sure that your first layer is squished down as much as possible to a build plate that has been cleaned with soap and water and then glue stick applied.

@@LoyalMoses Thank you, I've tried all the obvious things - maybe someone in the discord can help :)
Absolutely! It's terrible when something so simple is not working!
"...which is toxic." 😂
It's true! Brittney said so!
is there someway I can reach out to you with some more question on your raise3d machines?
Absolutely! Join our discord!

I try abs dont stick on bed, try using crrality clue and warp a 20mm wall 0.5 test cube.
Clean the bed well, and use glue stick or vision miner nano polymer adhesive.
I want to get into ABS printing
Cool!
Do you need to filter the abs? Newer to the hobby never printed anything but PLA but would like to now that im printing more than just little "niknaks and doodads" haha thank you in advance
ABS contains styrene, so you should make sure you have plenty of fresh air and not breath the fumes.
@@LoyalMoses thank you for replying! Okay, I just wasnt sure if needed to filter out through a duct. I appreciate it!
great video, love the explanation :D
but i am certain that pushing ads in a app also contribute to the less liking of the company, but i am also rooting for them if they can improve
so keep up the good work and suprice us more with those tech facts that are fun to know :D
Thanks!
Being pedantic here but ABS is not more rigid than PLA. PLA is pretty much the most rigid of all of the popular printing plastics (pla, petg, asa, abs).
That’s fair! 👍
Another, as you brought it up - fumes, subject.
I pooh poohed any talk about health issues about any and all filaments until I made some watermelon cradles for the garden.
100% of the watermelons I put on the 3d printed cradles died. 100% of the watermelons I left on dirt are doing great.... not a good sign.
What filament did you use?
@@LoyalMoses both creailty hyper pla and abs... both killed 10 watermelons.
Did you let Starry die!!!! Oh the horror!!😱😱😱😭😭😭😭 Other than that great video....😢poor Starry
Hahaha

Support?
I have had 3 Crealities...
Here is the problems.
1. Not enough staff.
2. Staff who do not speak or reader English very well.
3. No support people based in USA.... they are all in China.
4. China holidays... they have a zillion of them and Creality closes down.
Positive? They are pretty good at getting you replacement parts.
Thanks for the comment! Their support model has always been intentional. They used Facebook and a community to provide support services for the last 9 years while they shipped low cost printers to become the biggest brand in the world, now shipping over 1 million printers a year.
Now they are adding support teams and increasing quality control. This is a great thing!
with problem. do not buy. no solutions from creality
Sorry to hear that! Was it with this machine?
@@LoyalMoses creality k1. have you tested it? even with the new extruder and hot end (because the pieces they send are faulty). you cant print the hole area. try.
We print on it all the time, and haven’t had a single problem yet! Sorry to hear you had an issue.
It's a garbage printer
