In this video I show how I make the Creality K1, an already fast printer, even faster! It started with the problem that the stock extruder was unable to print and it had severe under extrusion. I didn't want this printer to be a glorified paper weight, so I decided to modify it so it would fit practically any extruder. I used the Bondtech QR which is a huge extruder which made it possible to really push that filament!

You see that I used the old intro again! I think that this is a nice touch, covering a subject where I started this channel with. Upgrading 3D printers!
Been with you from the start, sorry I can't afford to support you via Patreon but its been a blast watching your videos and following you on this journey. I hope you continue on this journey and have many more crazy ideas for many years to come
Opera is proven to be chinese spyware, there are many videos on it
I already use Opera.
Jon, NGL... I knew you were going to hit this milestone a long time ago. Your production quality, the content quality and even the sense of humor. I wouldn't be surprised to see you at a million. Congrats man! Well deserved!
What he said, congrats Jon.
I couldn’t have said it better
For further project, i suggest to add wifi/bluetooth to caliper, so You will be able to send measurement directly to program.
Cool idea!
Ohh fuck yeah!!!!! I love this channel so much.
Theres Bluetooth Calipers at my work.
Never really knew why you would need BT on them but you just answered that question maybe lol
how do you keep making these bangers. every time you upload we get a treat
It's my job. Kidding aside, thanks man!!
@@properprinting I'd love to see a huge 3d printed rc project at this channel at some point. The 3d printed car rim series was a blast!
Thats simple, he's Dutch !
The mistakes that you are brave enough to show have always been my favorite part because they are so instructive. Everyone faces these issues and it's great to see your strategies for learning from your mistakes and iterating in a productive way.
How does this god among men only have 100k subs. This man is my greatest inspiration in my journey to become an engineer. He deserves far more recognition for his ingenuity and I hope it comes soon.
I recently discovered your channel. It's not easy for person with ADD to watch a +15min video but I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You always leave me wanting to create something. That's a gift you have. Thank you for sharing that.
Love your channel and projects. I can't believe it's been 5 years already. It feels like I just started watching you yesterday. Congratulations and thank you for your contribution and entertainment 🎉
I’ve been here since the beginning and you are a great creator. I told you when you started you were going to be the next Joel Telling, and I still believe that. Showmanship, interesting ideas, unique and crazy, and most of personable. You are so humble. It’s really cool. Keep going brother
Thanks Stephen, I definitely remember you telling that! Cheers mate!
A design process video with all the mistakes would be great!
6:30 - That slider shot is soooooooo sick dude! Absolutely your creativity on display in your videography!
Bowden extruder? Matthew McConaughey: "Sometimes you gotta go back, to actually move forward."
Seriously though, probably my favorite 3D printing channel. I have watched almost every single video.
Congrats on 100K and well deserved!
There are so man steps u can do to go forward.
But this "upgrade" is non of them.
Trust me...
@@xtended86 Hahaha I know enough about 3D printing to know what is and isn't an "upgrade" and it depends a lot on what your goals are. Doesn't change the video being fun. I just wanted to make a Matthew McConaughey joke.
13:24 hell yea! Good to see you back in shape!
I'm genuinely surprised you don't have more subscribers. You create top-tier content, and deserve all of the rewards for your hard work and dedication. Here's to the future!
I dont know how you only have 100k subscribers. Your projects are always entertaining and thought-provoking. Almost every video you do, I think to myself "why have I never thought of that?"
As someone who did a lot of Bowden tube experimenting (best is a sub-5-minute benchy), a few hints: pressure advance can be 5-20 times the direct drive value. That also causes first layer adhesion issues. A beefy low gear ratio motor is better than a high gear ratio little one, because at that speed, it struggles to overcome its own momentum, and pressure advance moves fast.
Second, I attached my Bowden extruder straight above the center of the bed to make it about 2/3 the length. I had a frame that could do that, but it worked.
These projects are great to see!
Without a doubt, one of the best and most interesting channels I subscribe to.
Your ingenuity, ideas, executions, projects, videos, EVERYTHING is top notch.
Never stop!
There can never be too many tutorial videos on youtube. Make a cad design tutorial and make a difference in this world for the better!
There's something about your presentation style that is just relaxing, informative and enjoyable to watch. I'd love to see the fails and wins throughout the process. Perhaps even a one off long-format video. Keep up the great work!
Ahahahahahahah, 13:37 I knew it! 🤣 Congratulations on the 100K bro, you really deserve that!
The usual🤣
This is amazing. Yes to the design course. I've taught myself Onshape but I'm always wanting to learn more. Also, I'd be interested in seeing you add your "Proper Extruder" to a fast machine like this to really stress test it. Also, gotta love the backwards extruder fun. Keep up the fantastic work.
"Is this something I would like the see?" Ummm, YES! I like to see all your videos! Your method of creating is very informative and inspirational. Adding Fusion/design methodologies to the mix would be cool!
Thank you for the awesome content
Thank you!!
I don't even have a K1, but I love your videos. I can't believe that I just noticed I never subscribed even though I've been watching your great content for years.
Pretty sure the first video I watched was of your 3d printed wheel videos years ago. I've been along for the crazy ride since then. Keep up the great work and innovations.
I loved that you showed the design process.
Please release the course!! I'd pay money for it
Just discovered and subscribed to the channel today. Your production value, props, camera, lightning, sound and scripts are top quality man! Keen to see what you come up with in the future :)
Thank you very much for acknowledging all this! Also thanks for the sub, cheers!
Congratulations on the 100k, smashing it since day one. Also, a design cousre showing planning, design to print and build would be great!
Congrats Jon! Your videos and projects are epic. If the subscriber count was a direct representation of how epic they are you would easily have 1 millions subs. I have no doubt you'll get there and far beyond. Cheers to this milestone.
Jón, it's been a joy following you through your UA-cam journey. It's been cool to see you develop your style and mature as a video producer.
I can't wait to see what you do next.
Congrats on 100000 subs. Even though there are a ton of design courses, it is not the same when it comes from one of the best UA-cam 3D printer designer. So YES, I'd like to see a course from you like on Udemy or whatever other platform.
Thank you! And thanks for letting me know! It'll take quite some time and effort to make this happen and I really want to publish a good product. It's good to know if people would be interested in this before investing the time and energy!
Congratulations! You deserve it!
Congrats on the 100k! You make a person want to go out and buy a 3D printer, even though I'll probably never make anything as interesting with it.
GZ on the 100k... WHAT a journeY !
Whatever you post, I will watch... even tutorials. I can't think of anyone nerd enough and still fun to watch, better than you.
This is my absolute favorite youtube channel! I just needed to let you know that.
Thanks for letting me know!
Been here since the first tire video on different accounts. I absolutely love your content and delivery. Not to mention the insane production quality. 1m is no dream. You'll get there no doubt!
Congrats on the 100k, I am normally hyped to see one of your videos, but when your old intro popped on screen I got really excited!
First congrats on the 100k! Second this mod makes the K1 beyond awesome. TPU is the realm of bed slingers with top mount spools on bearings into a direct drive and no Bowden tube directly into the extruder to minimize drag as much as possible. This makes the Ender 3 V3 KE a TPU monster with some simple tweaks.
Man this is why I love this channel, he's unstoppable.
Ever since I found your channel I have been immediately watching if a new video came out. I really liked the little scetches in your older videos but unfortunately you stopped doing those. Because I'm also dutch It's extra fun to watch these video's. You deserved the 100k! Congratulations 🎉
Thanks! I also liked making them! It's not that I stopped, but I only make them when I feel it's fitting ;)
@@properprinting good to hear you didn't 'stop'. Hope to see one soon :)
Wow!.That was super cineatic and had an awesome music selection.
Keep it up. What a blast!!!
Congratulations with the 100K, and I'm sure that this is just the start. The extremely good quality of your videos is the key, from my point of view. Failure, success, good or bad ideas, are immaterial. Keep going!
103.000 subscribers... gefeliciteerd! Showing your design process in Fusion 360 would be great. Maybe in a dedicated video?
Bedankt! I was thinking about a paid course that has value for its money. This would be something for the future though because this requires quite some work and preparation.
Man! I loved the beginning of this video!!! 😆 Geez, you are becoming a Rock Star!!! EDIT: Wow, loved the ending too! Very uplifting. I feel the same about 3D Printing, it is like having a super power to build anything. Way to go! To infinity, and beyond. PS: are you still editing the videos yourself?
Thanks Everson!
Congrats on 100K, can't wait to follow you on your journey to one million!
Thanks Jan!
Hi. I have been using Opera for a few years now, I like the block adds feature. About the K1 3D printer, the shop I bought it from, Jaycar Electronics, I told the 3D expert staff member, someone times the print will loose adhesion to the heat bed, he asked me what temperature is the setting, 45 degrees, I was told to set the heat bed temperature to 60, they run all their 3D printers at 60, Iv’e not had a problem since. I hope this helps you. Thank you for posting your video, they are very helpful and interesting. Cheers
Great content as always. Im just about to finish my capstone project for my degree and I can’t tell you how many times I wished I had your skills and patience, so yes, I’d watch / take that course. Please keep up the great work. It helps aspiring makers like me to keep pushing forward! Cheers.
I have to say your video are getting better and better, I realy enjoy them. and i just got my creality k1 max ... so thank you.
As soon as I found your channel I watched ever single video. Love the work!
I cant believe you only have 100k when you have such good content
rest assured we get value from your work! I want this, since I also have an early K1 and have never been entirely happy with it. This looks awesome, thank you so much for the video.
Glad to along for the ride.... hats off one of the best channels on youtube.
I would love seeing more of the design process as you mentioned in the video. It'd be very useful for improving my own skills.😃
Yes! Been waiting for this! We really really want to see the cad process! :D
Congrats on 100k mate, you absolutely earned it 🎉 i love watching every single video of you - and you are absolutely one of the few people inspiring me ❤
Congrats on 100k @Proper Printing! well deserved. Stoked to see what else you got in ya
Congratulations on 100K. Hope you keep growing and having fun what you are doing.
Its always a good day when i get the proper printing video notification! 🎉
Ik zeker geïnteresseerd in een video, ontwerpen en fouten. Ik vind het geweldig dat je de flair hebt om dat te tonen. 💪😎
100k way to go, still think you are wayyy underrated i mean this are a 1mln sub + projects expecially the ones with the ender 3
This is insane! wonderfully delightfully insane!! awesome work. And that would be a YES for a design series (or course).
I'd love to see your design process, no two people use fusion the same and theres always something to learn.
Congrats on the 100k mate. I've been watching you since a little before 10000 and loved every video. Keep up the awesome work and here's to the next 100k🎉
Doooooooooooood! I love watching your videos. You remind me a lot of watching Mythbusters on TV (I still watch old episodes all the time) because just like them, you make science fun. I think I physically smile when I see a new video posted from you because I know it's going to be entertaining every time. As a man of science, I love watching your take on things.
I love your stuff. Please never stop as you are in inspiration to so many of us 😊
Congratulations with this milestone.
And this video.... Again.... Great !
Congrats on the 100k and speed boat! Added one to the count today for ya.
Your personal message (I'll call it) presented in the last (approx) 5 minutes of this video had me thinking: "THIS IS WHAT HE WILL SUCCEED AT DOING / SHOWING PEOPLE HIS APPROACH, HOW HE THINKS, WHAT HIS PROCESS IS, AND WHAT HIS MOTIVATIONS ARE." We done, Sir.
CONGRATS ON 102K 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Ayo! 100k, loved your channel since I watched you 3D print those abs rims hahaha. Keep it up man, amazing work as always
🎉 congrats Jon on the 100k! I'm excited everytime I see an alert from you about a new video ❤ always so nicely made with a big touch of art. You are an awesome video maker...or more like cinematographer which I love. I wonder how you got the pressure advance and high speed retract going with a bowden. That always been a struggle for me. Bowden is light and awesome, but it can't keep up with speed with pressure advance. The extruder acceleration always starts chewing on the filament. Did you have any issue with that past 20k? What is the PA running value you got? Even with Capricorn I was not able to have decent PA and it turned out to be generally slower than direct drive because of PA. So maybe you got a secret sauce here that I was not able to have ? 😊
Thanks a lot Simon! Good question and to be honest, I didn't do a lot of research into really fast printing. I stuck to the speed Benchy requirements, cranked everything to its maximum (800mm/s print speed and 30k accell), disabled everything that made it slower (like retraction) and just sent it. I didn't bother much about the print quality, but it managed to push out a decent Benchy when I compare it to other speed Benchy attempts. I didn't tune the PA and initially I had this number pretty high which resulted in almost no extrusion and I ended up disabling this altogether. This only resulted in a small blob in the upper corner of the hut. For me this wasn't about speed and when I'm going to use this as my go-to prototyping printer I'll print much slower and tune it more for quality. So, no secret sauce here ;)
@@properprinting awesome man. Bowden has some advantages for quality. It smooths out the extruder imperfection, so you have nice layers. If tune properly and pirnting a moderate speed, its certainly a good choice
I dont use fusion but would like to see your POV for designing tbh cause everyone has a different approach. I'm using onshape for now. Mistakes are always welcome 🙏. Great video!
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers love the stuff you do
Bowden is bad not because of low capability of flex printing, but for long retracts, and practically non working pressure advance.
Btw, the first mod you should've made is gaining root and installing mainsail\fluid.
Thanks for the feedback! I was aware of gaining root, but that was already done and didn't really interest me to be honest.
@@properprinting it's much easier to change extrusion direction from config, than with tweezers ;)
Thx for brilliant underextrusion social ad parody tho 😍
Congrats on 100k. Your videos always have so much effort put into them and it shows.
congrats on 100K! I’ve enjoyed the ride and your ingenuity.
Man, Wish I could get to the future and binge watch the next 6 seasons of this incredible work of Rad-ness…🤙🏻
3d printing upgrade, my favorite time sink! Keep it up, love your videos!
This is a very interesting upgrade. Even if you have the improved extruder.
I don't know the print quality, but for quick, early prototypes you don't need good quality anyway. Quick with a reasonable quality is what you want for early iterations.
Congratulations on the 100k 🥳✨❤️ you deserve it!
Thank you!!
Nice job and congratulations on 100K subs! You deserved it for sure!
congrats on the 100.000 subscribers🎉 and happy koningsdag.
I already enjoy your videos and it sounds like you have a remix of a Glitch Mob song during the actual upgrade of the printer. Love it!
First of all, cool Yamaha (HS7?) studio monitors - gooood choice :) Second - I would love to see complete design proces of new gantry
Thanks! HS8 even and I love these things! Good to know that there's interest in the design process. I am thinking about creating a course in the future. This will be a paid course and must have value for its money, so it won't be done soon.
I wouldn't mind following a CAD course done by you for Fusion360. Maybe even in Dutch lol. most are boring or just steamrolling trough all the possible stuff, without keeping in mind there's users just starting out trying to desing a practical part.
ALSO: holy shit your production quality has gone to the moon since I last checked you channel! Well done sir!
congrats on 100K subs!
Man Do I love this channel!Congrats on the 100K
Hearing Epic Voice Guy from Honest Trailers on an ad for 3D printing was a wild moment.
For those wanting to also print flexible, how about push pull with a simple filament operated switch to monitor and adjust differentials.
Congrats. Been here since the Ender 3 dual Z episode. Looking forward to things to come.
Never stop the upgrading 🥰
I want a new extruder, but I can't decide if I want the microswiss ng or the microswiss ng revo. Does anyone recommend anything or does someone have an opinion?
100k!! whoohooo. congrats man :)
Thanks!!
That's the extruder they designed for the BCN3D sigma line and it was an absolute disaster(along with that entire printer)
Congrats on 100k! Very much deserved!
Personally, I don’t feel like I need a design-process series. Sure, in theory it’s better for it to exist than not, but in practice that takes time and energy to create. If it’s something you’re interested in making, by all means, go for it. That said, if you’d only be making it because people have asked to see one, I think you’d be better off sticking to creating the types of video you naturally enjoy making. The rampant creativity and drive to innovate in new and interesting ways combined with the slick video production combines to make this my favorite 3D printing channel on the platform. That’s something unique you bring to the table that I haven’t found anywhere else. A series on design process would certainly be interesting, but I’m hardly starved for choice if I were seeking a design course. Then again, I’m sure you have a number of tips you’ve learned from your unique design journey, so play it by ear - there’s not a *wrong* choice and I’m sure whichever route you go it’ll hold value. I just figured I’d give my 2 cents as I think people tend to be more vocal about what they want than they are about things that don’t interest them. It makes getting feedback on what people do and don’t want uniquely challenging.
Thanks for your insight. If I ever decide to do this, I won't post it on UA-cam. This will be an actual course that must have value for its money. It will not be anytime soon though since I have enough going on already, but it's the thought I have and am curious if this would be feasible.
Re design/development course - it's not necessarily the actual design/development or iteration process people would be interested in, but _your_ specific thought process, how _you_ mapped and navigated the choices you made to reach from start to finish in your designing and production, and showing or teaching peeps how to learn to think like that or at least the building blocks of what goes into such a thought process. Some nowadays don't have that or aren't necessarily taught that even have the ambition to go out and find it on their own, and even if they do they might not know where to look for it since even though "Google" is a thing "curation" in research isn't a common skill taught in public education systems.
Thanks for your insight!
when measuring hole spacing. measure the inner part of both holes (the side facing each other) then the outer parts. add it together and divide by 2. now you got center to center.
That's how I've been taught this as well and is the most accurate way. I already knew that Creality uses logical measurements, so with this lazy way of doing it, it was easy to figure out the actual pitch (which was 20mm).
Great job, continue to produce content. Indeed, it would be beneficial to create video content that showcases the process of making design mistakes and the subsequent solutions. Documenting the journey from errors to resolutions can be incredibly valuable for students.
Great channel brother! Hope to see you soon at 200k! I love your ideas and tha fact you show what the true struggle is for any idea to the final outcome ♥☀
Dude we all going to want to see that modeling tutorials and unique ways of thinking on your solutions
Regarding design iterations. I'd really like to see those.
For someone who likes to build stuff themselves, seeing other designers "fail" (a.k.a. iterate) is reassurance that everybody goes through this process, but could also be a guide that the first step to a successful design may require a different approach than one likes to take for themselves. I think it's useful content.
