BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER IN ITS CURRENT FORM!
I pre-ordered my K1 from 3DJake and it arrived 10 days ago.
The design of the bowden routing causes it to pinch the filament, thereby causing horrible underextrusion. There is also a huge design issue in the extruder, meaning there is no positive tension pressing the rollers together. Mine printed ok for 2 days, then underextruded for 4 days, before the extruded finally completely failed after 6 days. I cannot print anything now. The door hinges are utter rubbish, meaning the door rattles around uncontrollably, is dreadfully misaligned and so crashes into the top of the screen when you open or close it. There are constant random errors on the screen. The web interface does allow you to send commands to the printer 80% of the time (throws indecipherable Chinese errors). The app is so buggy and laggy that it is impossible to use. Simple tasks like lowering the build plate 100mm results in the build plate moving down 100mm, back up 30mm, then down 50mm.
The printer could be amazing, but it is let down by a rubbish extruder and cheap fittings throughout, as well as a lack of quality control. I so badly wanted this printer to be as incredible as the hype suggested, but it really is not.
I see that they are reducing the price of this printer everywhere, presumably because of the number of dissatisfied customers, and terrible YouTube reviews, specifically about the extruder.
3DJake support have been good and proposed a bunch of replacement parts, but they need to be shipped from China and will take weeks, all with no guarantee that they are any better than the junk currently installed in my printer.
I am returning mine for a refund and will wait for a new version to be released with some design changes.Was this rating helpful? (49) (8)
Stay away
Rated with 1 out of 5 stars.
Machine has defintely some potential. It is a priced down copy of the BambuLab vut development is not complete, extruder is stopping for no reason, hot end is not dimensionned for fast flow. So if you are willing to spend some time optimizing, go for it. Again it is a good platform if you are printing PLA at decent speeds. They are a few tutorial to unlock the installed Klipper and bring it to its full potential. I had to return it and get a PS1P and what a machine. As I write it must be on its 4th day of non stop printing ABS and not one failed part. I am astonished.
