Creality is one-upping itself with the K1 Max, a bigger 300x300x300mm Core XY 3D printer. C Like the K1, this is an enclosed single-colour printer, capable of print speeds up to 600mm/s.
The K1 Max isn’t just a bigger printer, it’s a more deluxe printer, with LiDAR and an AI camera to warn you if a print fails. Like the K1, it’s running a limited version of Klipper, though Creality has recently released an open version of the firmware after facing community backlash for restricting access. If you’re interested in using vanilla Klipper, you need to install it yourself.
