- If you've ever struggled trying to adjust your printer and had a lot of difficulty, you'll find the Creality K1/K1 Max magical. In this video, we will go through all the stages of tuning the K1, from the temperature tower, filament flow calibration, printing speed, and we will look for the perfect print with Brazilian filaments from the brands GTMax, 3D Labs, and 3D Prime to find out which of them delivers better results in 3D printing with the Creality K1/K1 Max.
Furthermore, I am answering many questions not listed in the official Creality K1/K1 Max calibration tutorial (wiki.creality...., and I am giving you relevant tips to take care of best use of your 3D printer and avoid damage to your 3D prints.

My whole temp tower looks bad everywhere
The funniest thing is that I'm a Brazilian watching this video in english
hahahah, WWHHHYYYY???
Hilarious
Ironically for some reason i'm doing exactly that also. and the translation is good
I am Russian and watching this in English too)
Loco
Absolutely loved it! Creality’s directions are written in the worst chi-english I ever tried to interpret. I’m no longer pulling my hair out while bouncing my head off the desk thanks to you!!! Thanks!
I believe I can read chines english better because my english isn't very good. Thank you for following me. I'm working on new videos focused on Creality Print 5, it's coming soon.
The fact this is ai translated is pretty awesome, I couldn't really tell unless you held an object close to your face! Incredible.
As a 3D modeller and sculptor, I'm really looking forward for my k1 max to arrive. Just scrubbing up on my knowledge so that I can get straight to it as soon as it arrives!
Thanks for the effort and thought you put in to producing your content. Definitely earned a new subscriber.
He appears as an asparagus. He is a cooked asparagus. Hahaha.
Awesome video. The translation tech is awesome. Hilarious how it anthropomorphizes the filament and prints though.
Wait until this guy discovers root access and Klipper.......
I got my K1 2 weeks ago. It's my 2nd printer - my first was a gift 6 months ago. This video is exactly what I need right now. Very helpful. Thank you.
Liked. Subscribed. I like the quality of your content. The AI translation? A bit creepy but I’ll play along. It will be everywhere very very soon… Just bought the K1SE and I’m blown away.
This AI translation is wild
Very helpful! Also wild that AI has come this far. Quite funny how it cycles accents
thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the K1c and have been struggling with this. the Creality wiki is a bit confusing when it says to Choose parameter settings, what should the best testing parameters for a certain material be?
Awesome video with great info. Gonna take a shot at calibrating my printer following your instructions. Also the “AI” translation is quite good for what it is.
I’ve learned more from this video than anything else I’ve found on TH-cam. Thank you
ME TOO! SO GOOD!!
Moi également
Love the "People's Liberation Army" part, maybe you should put the time in instead of the "Artificial Dumbness" thing
Help me grow the channel and I promise I'll dedicate more time to produce videos in english. thanks for watching
Mr. Inventor I would like to thank you for your video, which has been the most informative. I am new to 3D printing, It is hard to find information on the calibration without having the feel am being sold something. It is knowledge imparted here not propaganda. I wish there were more content creators like you. Happy Holidays.
I am happy to say you have a new subscriber.
Thank you very much Rebecca! I'll keep trying to produce valuable and impartial content while maintaining channel independence
@16:19 People's Liberation Army. LOL
Excellent video, I have never seen a calibration video on TH-cam so comprehensive on any 3D printing machines. It restores my confidence about the K1 Max machine I intended to purchase but everyone in the markets tend to rank the Bambu Lab over the Creality machines.
Yeah, that's the million question. It depends on your country and the kind of job you want to do with your printer. Bambu is more like a plug'n play'n done. Creality K1/K1 Max offers more possibilities for customizations, not exactly like an Ender, but it is still more than a Bambu Printer. The cost of a printer and replacement parts depends on your country, while in the USA, you pay $1.5k for an X1; in Brazil, it has been sold for $3.5k because of taxes, which is also the reality in other countries.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I have been searching on how to do this, please keep making videos, you are an amazing teacher!
You are deep in the "uncanny valley" with this video. AI has a way to come yet. The content is excellent; the AI presentation is disconcerting.
u said 36:2= 18 and u wrote 9 can someone explain this to me?
This is more helpful then the Creality Wiki write ups on calibrating. I went through the temp, flow rate, pressure advance and max flow rate. The pressure advance and flow rate was hard to read as most looked good but had some layer separation while using ABS. Any thoughts on how to get ABS calibrated correctly?
Thanks for amazing video. Very useful
Your explanation on tuning the Creality K1 for different filaments is well received, thank you. I have been 3D printing for close on 12 years now, owned a couple of Creality Ender 3 printers and purchased a Bamboo Lab X1 Carbon and the Creality K1 Max when they first came out. However, I've since sold the Bamboo because I personally find the Creality K1 Max to be a better printer. My only hope is that one day Creality will design a multi-material attachment similar to the X1 Carbon. Regarding your AI translation, well done and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
James, stay tuned on the channel by January 8th. I think you'll like what I'm bringing here ;)
Hello, thanks for all your experiences, I apreciate. I'd like to ask you about to print in K1Max with PP, can you try to do that?. Thanks
I'm preparing new videos with different material, and PP is one of them for sure. Thanks for following us
Great content and impressive AI. Can I ask what service you are using for the Language dubbing?
Thank you for this video, and for having it done in English! I am so new to 3D Printing that I am still doing research on which printer to purchase for my first one. I've pretty much settled on the K1 Max, and this video really gives me some good information on how to tune it in after I get it. Again, thank you!
Spend the extra $200 and get a bambu x1c.
@@MrPanaramuh Can it print so fast as K1 Max?
@@jakdrosa Faster. Has carbon rods. so gantry weight is limited. We've printed up to 600mm/s outer walls with no detriment to quality, granted it was simple walls, but still. K1 max says 600mm/s as well but...we all know how printer companies glorify their machines.
Great video, thanks for your time.
I use K1 MAX from more than a month, and the machine is very impressive. In the beginning it wasn't, but after some tweaking I was very happy. You really need to put it on a stable surface, and set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz. The unique of this printer is that from the start is OK, but there is a plenty to upgrade and make it great.
set the belt tension to be equal on both sides- around 110-120Hz
how?
@@antisocial77
use the "Creality belt tension meter" found in "Printables" You tube is deleting my comments when i post the link, and this is very annoying.
@@antisocial77 get an Oscilloscope to measure it. You don't need the actual equipment, there's phone apps for it to use with your microphone. You put it up near the belt and you do a bit of a pull flick of tension on the belt to see what frequency you get. Then you tighten or loosen it at the gear corners until the tension frequency matches the range.
Just to be clear, I didn't test it, just sharing the link www.printables.com/model/523382-creality-k1-belt-tension-meter
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I have been looking for something specific to these printers for over a month now. Can't wait to put this to use when my replacement parts for my broken Max come in. I would expect that the new extruder should resolve a lot of the issues. Jams like that are not supposed to happen on printers like these. These are not meant to be like Ender 3's, they are far too expensive for that. I get my own parts tomorrow and I hope its resolved for me as well.
my god, you have a brazilian twin brother
Thanks for sharing! I just bought a K1 for my first 3D printer and am always looking for useful information on how to use it better.
The creailiy slicer is garbage. it lags and crashes constantly. you want a good slicer try orca slivcer
Agreed! I've gone to OrcaSlicer for all my machines. Excellent and useful slicer. Best thing is that all the tests TheDigitalInventor does in Creality's slicer are also available in Orca. Highly recommended!
Had to search to find where the brim setting was. It is now OFF. BRIMS STINK!!!!
Yeh, some times it is needed, but in most of cases we can print without brim to have a better finishing on models
@@InventorsGarage In the cases where it’s necessary, I’d like to find a better method of removal. Aka, for a clean edge, I’ve had difficulty multiple times getting “just the brim” off. I had Creality’s slicer apply brim (default, turned it off) where I didn’t need it and the couple of prints it did it too I’m still dealing with…
Kinda cool how this is ai translated. Thanks!
Podia ter feito um vídeo em português, ou ao menos liberado a tradução, acho que já existe essa alternativa no TH-cam, várias opções de idiomas.
Nem sei o que dizer.... o Wesley tem 3 canais parceiro....
É que aqui o YT não deixa postar link....mas acho que um inventor qualquer ele me deixa escrever... rsrs 😉
Thank you for this video. As a beginner it has helped me greatly in the setup of different materials to get quality prints.
What are you using to fine tune. Are you running kipper or is this a slicer?
Sorry I see creality print in the left top corner. Thanks
Thanks very useful video
I haven't taken my K1 Max out of its box yet, hopefully tomorrow is the day.. I have a automotive software app from Brazil, the app interface is in English but any support videos are in Portuguese. If you want a laugh watch a Portuguese video using the google translate function in the youtube video captions. They are useless at translating between the two.
Thanks for the video
Could you please post a link to the calibration cube you showed? I cant find it anywhere
www.thingiverse.com/thing:6308243
I'm blown away at how well the AI translation did. I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell by the audio.
Also, very helpful video. My K1 Max has been printing pretty good for a couple months now but I need to go in and fine tune it.
Great video, thankyou for sharing. The link for calibration tutorial in your description no longer works. Can I find this information on a blog so I can do it slowly step by step ? Thankyou
Just Bumping your content
Great video! On the 2nd step of flow calibration, are you sure you are correct about the results being added or subtracted from your initial best setting? It looks like when you gave a "-5" result from step one that it then bracketed that value by +/- 5. So, if you got a result of "-3" for step 2 that would be the value you use, not "-8". If it were relative to the "-5", it would have given you an available range of "+5" to "-5", centered on "0".
Yes . i thing like you. and i dont understand
I want to say thank you to you digital inventor because you're clear and concise explanations and resolutions are exactly where I have been stuck. Can't wait to get into the office tomorrow and do everything I learned.
Thank you so much, but first, I have to comment. I cannot believe how amazing the AI translator is. I didn't realize that you're speaking in Portuguese, and the translator software is manipulating your facial features to sync the english language. This is purely shocking to me, and ridiculously amazing. We are living in very awesome times, or very scary. Regardless, thank you for this video. I can't wait to see others as well. What translator software is it that you use?
Ive been waiting for someone to post something like this for the creality print slicer.. Thanks for this
I like how the AI translates PLA into Peoples Liberation Army. 😂
Hi Digital Inventor. I bought the Creality K1 about 3 weeks ago. Thank you for this detailed Video, I didn’t know you could calibrate the different filaments, creating a profile.
I did notice the silk gold PLA has notchers from the gears that feed it into the extruder, it’s only slight, but doesn’t seem to be a problem.
Kind regards, Gary
I didn't find this video very useful. As I have rooted and got full Klipper, running on my machine and using Orca slicer, which everybody should be doing anyway.
This would be great if it explained how to get the Z offset to stay in place. My printer always prints too high off the bed, so everything falls over if I don't catch the Z offset on the first layer, which means I couldn't even get past the temp tower stage. There doesn't seem to be anything online how to calibrate and keep the new calibration settings inside the priner. I have to go wait for the printer to start then race through the menus to recalibrate the Z offset every time. Anyone know of a full setup guide that inclides the Z offset calibration and how to save it inside the printer?
Just wanting to be helpful, but I believe your Max Flowrate calculation formula may be a bit wrong. You were right that you take the half step of 36, so the test reflects 18 mm/s. However, you didn't start at zero, you started at five. So your max flow rate is actually 23. That being said, generally you want to take about 10% off of it just to help ensure quality. Anyhow, hope that helps someone.
This video was SUPER helpful. I feel real stupid for not even noticing the calibration tab in the slicer software. Bought my K1 6ish months ago and there felt like very little info or videos out there that really helped with the K1 specifically. Definitely nothing like this that shows how to take advantage of the printer and the accompanying slicer software. Bit annoying that a lot if not most videos say use Orca or use Prusa and root your machine and do this or that when Im just a beginner and Im like "I just need to learn wtf Im doing first." Great video, very helpful and informative.
Can you pse explain the following. You said, in the first case let us assume you got 5 and in the second case you got -2. So the final number is 3 right? But you are adding only +2 to the percentage and not +3. Is it that we have to substract this +3 from the remaining percentage which 5%?. Thank you so much for all your efforts
Good video but turn the AI off. Keep the English translation but turn the face AI off.
Thank you so much!
Just bought the K1 in addition to my SLA Printer.
Now i know what to calibrate and what the values mean!
Keep on with the good Quality work.🍪
My K1 Max is being shipped at the moment, but I stumbled on your video, so thanks for the information. I'm actually amazed at the AI translation more than the printer, thats the first video, at least that I know of, where AI has been used to translate AND make it look like you are speaking english. Sure it's sort of noticeable with your beard, but wow, cant wait to see the future in this field.
Your voice is pleasing and the AI translation is impressive. I shared your video.
I have one question for Max volumetruic speed. By default it starts at 5mms. The you measure with ruller (36) that gives you 18. Don't you need to add that 5 mms on start to you't measure of 36 ?
I have a couple running questions. So if I want to move up from a .4 to a .6 nozzle should I redo the calibration over with the larger nozzle? Second question. Would going to a larger nozzle maybe .8 help with printing tpu or the softer filaments?
Belt tension is the biggest physical adjustment needed to get cleaner prints...... mine were extremely overtightened. Creality CS themselves were unable to advise the K1 Max recommended Hz (K1 standard is 110hz).....so i started at roughly 110 which i was not happy with, and have slightly tightened to roughly 120hz. Orca Slicer is far better than Creality Print IMO.... i also spent alot of time tuning the acceleration and speed to get my profile to a point where i am happy with the quality and speed. Creality Printers are fantastic, i have loved and used them for over 6 years.....however.....Bambu appear to be the better option for those not wanting to tweak and tune.
This is 100 percent where I’m at. I feel like with Bambu you get the printer and what you see is what you get. Won’t be much tuning or improvements made to it. But with creality machines there is always the possibility of tuning/upgrades to always improve your prints. It keeps 3d printing interesting to me. I have a k1 max.
i love tweaking and tuning as well :).... have done since my early Ender 2's and 3's, and cr10s pro. I think learning on cheap machines, knowing you will need to upgrade, tweak, tune etc, helps to diagnose problems on the newer faster machines. Faster = Quality issues are drastically exaggerated. :)
how can i measure 120 hz?
@@antisocial77 you use a sound app on your phone to measure the sound frequency when U pluck the belt
Belt tension, bed leveling(use soft spacers and knobs), and really well fixed table or whatever surface, just make shure to not moving. And today I made some extruder(V2) tests and it looks like it starts skipping on on around 28mm3 flow- and this is with the CHCB-OT hotend, which performs better with around 4mm3 compare to the original ceramic one. The next upgrade is the nozzle and the next version extruder(V3) is on its way from China.
The video is Great, but the AI translation is VEEERY interesting. Which app are you using for that?
the ai has an Indian-German-Brazilian-Scottish-South African-Manchester-Kiwi-Beijing accent or something lol but it works well
Too much time explaining things that aren't relevant. First 10 min is pretty much rambling. At least put bookmarks on your videos for intro and different steps.
i can not fins it in the new software august 2024
Yes this video is for Creality Print 4. I'm working on a version for Creality Print 5, coming soon
My volumetric speed print keeps turning into so spaghetti half way and I don’t know what to do. I even changed the volumetric speed I tried 10 and 30 and I still got the same results
how do i reset creality print settings?? i am having trouble calibrating flow rate after some software updates and firmware updates on k1 max
„Tuning … is most challenging task”. No. It is not challenging. Just buy P1S and you will get better prints out of the box… not to mention X1 even
Are you speaking Portuguese or English? Your lips are definitely speaking English... Are you translating from English to Portuguese?
Another thank you again you are now compiling my go to 3d printing video bible for me ... !
Why do you find the final result as 3 and add 2? My result is "8" and the value in the program is 95. In this case, how many numbers do I need to add?
Thanks Wesley, while I could afford the K1 Max I would not be able to keep running their Hyper PLA so this is great
Muito bom na verdade! Qual IA você usa se não se importa em dizer? Curti muito o canal! Parabéns!
The biggest problem I have with the K1 Max or K1 is that the AI won't work outside the Creality Slicer. I hate the Creality Slicer.
Awesome video!
Nice video, gonna use it for tomorrow at my job... First time here, and i need to ask... Whats wrong whit his face?! xD
Thanks really helped with my K1 MAX I just got
thanks for the video, I also own this printer and I'm looking for improvements
Damn this was a good video! HOly Fudge. Finally some in depth explanations.
My printer will not hold bed adhesion for any of sample prints provided with the K1 Max and the supplied Creality filament.
Im interested
Vídeo maravilhoso! Obrigada! Só não entendi a parte do 25:42. Imprimo no padrão primeiro, 20, coloco o 30 que mostra no vídeo ou o 60 que você colocou, pf? Minha K1 Max está imprimindo as bases que precisam de suporte errado. Fica cheio de camadas não lisas. Sabe o que pode estar acontecendo? Já tentei de tudo :( Muito obrigada e sucesso!
Very well put together informative video. Thank you my friend
Hi Thanks a lot for this very informative video. That said, beware because of the AI translation (which sounds pretty good to me), everything you put in front of your face is replaced, so, there are a lot of things you're trying to show we can't see because replaced (by your mouth)
Yeh that part of AI is really annoying, and I can't disable that, sorry
What size is the cube supposed to be 35:00
150% of this one www.thingiverse.com/thing:6308243
So great full for finding this video had issues with prints and never new why and turns out I’ve never set the printer up properly
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
I just thought the video encoding was bad for the artifacting, now the AI part makes sense
Does anybody know if Creality is working on some sort of multi-material attachment?
I really want a K1Max ... but I NEED multi-material capability.
Not yet, but stay tuned on the channel by January 8th. I'll bring something to solve this issue partially.
Qual ferramenta você utilizou pra fazer a dublagem? Não sei se o original é em inglês, mas está muito bom mesmo.
I just realized that the face is AI superimposed so the lips movement matches the English translation
Bro is this whole video AI ? What the actuall hell. Its not knly translated.
Voice translated + picture overlay with lip-sync. Awesome.
he is Brazilian and AI is "mouth matching" the face movement with the translated audio (also generate by AI) to look like he is speaking in english
No?? Really, wow that's awesome, where is that AI available?
I wouldn't say I like it either, but this is how I started posting in English without recording and editing twice without having an audience here; as this channel grows, I'll be able to invest time and money to produce 100% English content.
The AI is working very well! Looks like you just need to avoid getting your hands/arms in front of your face!
Great
Can you share the ideal print settings for Creality K1 printer and profile settings for petg abs and pla?
Great info, but LW-PLA seems the hardest to set up...any tips?
Wesley, I have spent almost two weeks calibrating an ASA+ filament and doing precisely the procedure you outline in your video. Thank you for filling in some blanks that Creality's Calibration Wiki doesn't mention. I really appreciate your advice on how to interpret the printed results. One of the things that messed up my Flow Rate tests was the AI flow correction that can be a part of the "Print calibration" function you can enable when sending the print to the printer. It can do more than just bed levelling... Can you please post a link to the same video in Portuguese?
Hi @omahena, I use to disable the function "pressure advance" at the filament profile, this function use to cause oscillation on the hotend pressure during the printing. But regarding the AI flow correction I've never had an issue with that, but I must to say that I also notice no changes when using it LOL, besides the fact that that thing spends more filament. I believe Creality is still collection data to improve this functionality, since it was added on K1 Max.
I have a question about the material flow ratio. In pass 1 i got a nr 10 and in pass 2 i got a 0. So when I added The 10, it became 105% flow ratio and now I feel like it over extrude in the pressure advance test. I can’t start the print without immediately stopping it again because of stringy chaos on the print bed. Should I try slowly dial it back or just drop it?
I had some situations like this, on my case it was a low quality filament. But, yes you can reduce it till the point you have a good extrusion
One of the most informatives instructional video i've seen in a while. Thank you for your effort.
Anyone noticed the heavy AI deepfake of his face and the constant cuts but no pauses in his voice?
