Settings for Printing Parameters in Creality K1 Series

The Creality K1 and K1 Max , the flagship models from Creality, were launched in April 2023. They boast impressive specifications including a maximum speed of 600mm/s and an acceleration of 20000mm/s², ensuring quick and precise prints. The hot end can accommodate a maximum flow of 32mm³/s, making it compatible with a variety of filaments such as ABS, PLA, PETG, TPU and more.

In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to the printing parameter settings of the K1 Series. This will aid users in troubleshooting printing issues and in producing superior quality work. Below are the types of filaments supported by the Creality K1 Series:

1. Slicing Configuration To configure your slicing settings effectively, launch Creality Print version 4.3.6.6220 or a more recent version. Set your printer to K1 Max . In the filament section located at the top right of the interface, opt for "General filament" (For versions earlier than 4.3.6, it is labeled as "generic"). For instance: When printing with ABS, choose "General ABS" from the filament list and initiate the slicing process.

Similarly, when using Hyper PLA, select "Hyper PLA".

And for Silk PLA, opt for "Silk-PLA" from the filament list. 2. Preparing for Printing 2.1 Cleaning the Build Plate If the build plate is soiled, possibly due to hand sweat contamination, clean it using dishwashing detergent and water, or wipe it down with alcohol.

In cases of excessive adhesive application or multiple prints, it is advisable to clean the build plate with water.

2.2 Ensuring Proper Adhesive Application

Ensure the use of the correct glue stick, either the one provided with the machine or Deli's yellow glue stick, while avoiding green Deli glue sticks.

Apply a thin layer of the glue stick to the build plate.

2.3 Confirming the Need for Print Calibration Verify print calibration settings, encompassing automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection functions (Flow rate calibration/First layer detection functions are deactivated by default).

If left unchecked, automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection will not be activated.

FAQs about Print Calibration When must Print Calibration be selected? When switching filament different from the previous print, e.g., switching from PLA in the previous print to ABS (different bed temperature, leveling data differences). When the machine has been moved. After a firmware upgrade. When is Print Calibration not required? When reprinting the same model that was previously successful. When printing a relatively small model, located at the center of the build plate. 3. During Printing If you are printing with engineering materials like ABS/ASA, it is recommended to manually deactivate the enclosure fan for optimal results.

The maximum print speed of filament is influenced by material characteristics and should adhere to the recommendations of the material manufacturer and official slicing software configuration.

2. It is advised to uniformly apply solid glue to the print bed before printing to enhance first layer adhesion.

3. For moisture-sensitive materials like PA/PA-CF/TPU, it is recommended to dry them before printing or store them in a dry environment.

4. When using non-official filament, select generic filament parameters in the slicing software.

5. For superior print quality, it is recommended to use official high-speed filament.
