  I have had the Creality K1 for about a year and a half, and I see that many say not to buy this machine, so I decided to write my own experience. Initially, especially as my first machine, I can tell you that with a little searching on YouTube and the internet, I quickly found what was necessary for me to start learning and making my first models. As for the machine, personally, it hasn't given me any issues so far. A friend of mine has the same machine, but he didn't clean it, and when he loaded his filament, he would hit it with his fists, saying that it wouldn't break, and yes... he broke several components. In summary, I will tell you not to be afraid to get this machine, just like any other machine of this type, such as the Bambu Lab or Flashforge. After almost 2 years of using the K1 and having used several models in the school's labs, including those from Creality, Flashforge, and Bambu Lab, I can tell you to get whatever machine fits your budget and to really consider what your needs are. Beyond that, how long a machine lasts is purely dependent on how well you take care of it, and of course, no machine, not just 3D printers but machines in general, is completely indestructible; at some point, they will require service, just like your cars do. The more you take care of it, the longer you will have it.

  Don't buy Creality k1. I am a user of 2 machines since their release date. Many problems that you won't find in a printer from Bambu Lab (P1s). I have changed the extruder twice, had issues with the thermistor, and in general, the company lacks reliability, which is evident in the new models they release every 2 months with updates because the previous ones have issues. You spend 200 euros more and get a Bambu, either P1s or P1p, and you have no problems. I have done over 50 prints on the Bambu I have with the entire bed filled, and everything has come out as it should.

  I got the 2023 model before the many corrections they made to the 2024 model so I have a few vfa parasites and sometimes issues with filament jams, but because a friend has the 2024 they have put smaller pulleys on the belts so it no longer has vfa parasites and they have changed the extruder with a model that has internal tension springs that mine doesn't have and they have put a unicorn hot end which is seamless from top to bottom so the thread doesn't stick, and it heats up better. Its speed is incredible, it prints everything in half the time than we are used to and the noise from the fans can be mitigated if you open the windows and lower the fans to 50-55%, also now with the Slicer Creality Print 5 it has better quality in everything... very good machine especially if you get the 2024 model with the blue details on the box...

  I have had it for about a month and the only thing that concerns me is that its operation is quite noisy to the point of being tiring, especially if it is in the same space where you work. Also, due to its high printing speed, it should be placed in a stable position because otherwise it transfers its vibrations to the table it may be placed on. Other than that, it is quite fast with very good print quality on PLA, ABS, PETG, etc
