    Good video! You are literally the only one on UA-cam that has done a full review on the K1 se (meaning the inboxing and first prints) THANKYOU!!!

    I love my k1. I have done a few mods to mine though. The best mod so far is rooting it. And running the script to install mainsail or fluid, moonraker etc. I also picked up the k1c nozzle conversion kit but also tried the new CHT style nozzle that recently came out on Aliexpress that is used on the older style hot end and all I can say is wow. My k1 went from approximately 23mm3/s to over 35mm3/s and that is with cheap no-name pla. I was also able to lower my temps. It is now holding me back from trying the new unicorn nozzles. I am just blown away. My printer has over 1500 hours on it and no issues as well

    Interesting video, although I don't intend to buy one of these printers.
    One point though (please understand it as constructive critique): The results of the overhang tests are almost impossible to discern. Perhaps you could use a flashlight for side lighting and move it around a bit. This would help to be able to see the quality of the print better.

    I put a textured B plate with nozzle wipe from my k1c on my k1,it worked fine.did the same probing .👍

    the dark material maybe is some filament that had to long contact with the noozle at high temperatur and begun to "overcook". I had that effekt a few times, when some filament stuck on the noozle for bit longer and when it fell of - it became dark.

    The nozzle wipe on the print bed is clever. How did the nozzle get cleaned since you replaced the plate?

    I'm sure the information can be found online, but you maybe should include the price of each unit in the video or the description... To me the price would need to be drastically reduced as the ability to print ABS and ASA with the enclosed version is much better.

    • @MyTechFun

      When I started the recording, there was no price. I had to wait with the video publishing, until they are available in the store. Otherwise I would include it.

    Creality should just stick with smooth and textured PEI coatings (preferably dual-sided, though nozzle wiper maybe does not allow that 🙄) and stop copying Bambu Lab nonsense glue stick plates 🤨
    Or copy from the best - Prusa satin sheet 😅

    At this price point it doesn't make sense the build volume matches the AD5M and I would rather get that printer, and for the $400 price option the Q1 pro, $500 P1P, and $600.00 P1S, the only way this makes sense is if you're a creality fanboy...........

    I honestly don't know why the did the SE, it is a totally pointless exercise, it's only about $20 cheaper than the K1 and only a little bit more gets the K1C which is a far superior machine. The SE limits you so badly as to what filaments you can print whereas the K1 and C can pretty much print anything.

    • @kimmotoivanen

      SE seems to have lower VFA steppers and pullies from K1C. This alone might be a good reason to choose SE over old K1 - unless they have changed K1 on the fly...
      Quite a few users have need for ABS/ASA, PC or PA. I would expect small PC-CF parts being printable with open (or trash-bag-enclosed) printer without much fuss (other than particles flying around)...
      Unicorn nozzle may be easier to change, but it costs more, less variety compared to Volcano and no 0.2/0.25 mm nozzle so far.
      Let's see how it's priced on Black Friday

      @@kimmotoivanen Printer wasn't cheap considering overall build quality and functionality to begin with. After two days the original plastic extruder broke, also default hotend isn't full metal and you only get brass nozzles, so if you want to print anything else besides pla and petg you have to invest much more. On the 1st use the nozzle dig into glass bed because of some bug in the firmware. The glass bed was quite crooked and it wasn't possible to make it flat without major overhaul resulting in inconsistent 1st layer and difficult callibration. Many screws has been loose causing failed prints after i found it out - was my 1st 3d printer and i haven't expected it to be such garbage. Default FANs in PSU and control unit box are loud as a noisy server only because they are of very poor quality, badly designed and too small. PSU and control board is encapsulated under covers with just few went holes which are covered by a very restrictive mesh thus making the fans even louder. Even after sorting most of the things the print quality was bad probably because of bowden extruder and non-optimal control board design and firmware-was using community firmware but it didn't change print quality. So this printer as a tool is completely non usable and big waste of time
