The Creality K1C is an exceptional high-speed 3D printer designed for precision printing even with carbon fiber-reinforced materials, showcasing sophistication and durability. With a printing volume of 220x220x250mm and a maximum speed of 600mm/s, it redefines the 3D printing experience.
Elegance in combination with robust construction
The printer features a sturdy unibody frame crafted from die-cast aluminium alloy, incorporating transparent glass sides and an acrylic lid. This way you can have constant visibility into the printing chamber.
All-metal extruder for secure filament grip
The K1C employs an all-metal extruder system designed to prevent clogging, equipped with a support spring and a ball piston, ensuring a secure grip on the filament.
Ultra-fast and agile printing
Utilizing a lightweight and dynamic CoreXY structure, the K1C maintains ultra-high speeds while delivering exceptional print quality. It features a maximum speed of 600mm/s, a standard speed of 300mm/s, and a maximum acceleration of 20,000mm/s².
Quick-swap tri-metal "unicorn" nozzle
Creality K1C offers a quick-swap, tri-metal "unicorn" nozzle with a titanium alloy heatbreak that enhances versatility. This nozzle is easily replaceable, however it should be left to cool down before handling.
Triple cooling
The K1C includes a triple cooling system consisting of a hotend fan to minimize heat creep, a part cooling fan for instant hardening, and an additional chamber-side fan for overall print quality improvement.
Carbon fiber printing made simple
The K1C effortlessly processes filaments with carbon fibers, thanks to its 300°C hotend with a hardened steel nozzle tip, flexible PEI build plate, and a closed chamber design for a consistently high-temperature environment.
Versatility
Compatible with various materials, the K1C is suitable for a wide range of applications, including PLA, ASA, ABS, or TPU. It can also use carbon fiber-infused filaments like PLA-CF or PET-CF for mechanically robust parts resistant to wear, deformation, and ageing.
Enhanced monitoring
The integrated AI camera monitors the printing process, providing warnings in case of errors. Its features include spaghetti detection, foreign body detection, time-lapse recording, and video surveillance.
Open source
The printer operates on an open-source platform, featuring Creality OS, Creality Print, and Creality Cloud for maximum flexibility.
Creality OS, based on Klipper, offers advanced features like Linear Advance and Input Shaping. Creality Print includes Smart Cooling, Optimal Retraction, Slim Supports, and 3D printer farm management, enhancing user-friendliness. Moreover, Creality Cloud serves as an all-in-one 3D printing platform for interaction and sharing among enthusiasts.
Other additional features
Among other additional features, the Creality K1C offers are the “Plug and play” with boot-up instructions for quick setup (3 minutes from unboxing to turning on), a highly automated and user-friendly system, one-tap automatic calibration, including auto Z offset, auto levelling, and auto-input shaping test, a carbon filter for cleaning compounds and particles from melted filaments, the option of quiet operation with noise levels ≤45dB, partial failure batch function, the pre-installed damping pads which reduce vibration, a silicone squeegee for nozzle tip maintenance, an anti-shatter film on the glass, a reinforced cable chain, a reliable damper hinge for controlled door movement, a side spool holder and a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen.
