Patiently awaiting the revolution

  • Holy shit. Why didn't they just tell me this???

    Thank you!

  • I emailed Creality directly, I didn't go through their ticket system. Could you not link me to that site you mentioned? Because I've Googled the hell out of this and found a few complaints on Amazon, and that's it.

  • But Creality can't even tell. They asked for pictures.

  • Creality wouldn't explain that to me, and I've never seen a listing with versions for the K1. Can you find one so I can see what you mean?

  • I reported them for being shady af and told them they'll take the printer back or face legal repercussions. I'm beyond being patient.

  • It's between that and an Elegoo.

  • Yeah, I'm really annoyed. I had bought a bunch of nozzles in advance, so when I needed the replacement, I'd have it. Imagine my shock when my printer spit out a unicorn nozzle on the day before Christmas Eve, after everything had closed. I was in the middle of printing Christmas stuff. I was LIVID.

  • I use AI for stuff for the sake of speed. DM me and I'll give you a link.

  • I have a K1 that doesn't take early K1 parts. I think they changed things mid-production to use the unicorn nozzles that they evidently designed for another printer. During that time, the hotend was changed twice as well. This means if I order a hotend kit, I have a very low chance of actually getting the part I need. I'm not sure how to shop, because everything just says K1.

  • Oh, my model is the current one. It's the older ones that everything is tailored to. That's the whole problem 🤣

  • It's not counterfeit. Creality literally admitted the problem. It's super whack, I agree.

  • My printer before this was an Ender 3 v2, I'm not useless. But when I can't even find parts that fit, that's a problem.

  • No, I don't mind replacing things. But how? Do I just buy a slew of different parts from random sellers? Creality parts don't fit. I've tried.

  • Evidently? Everything I order for it is for the original K1, and Creality quietly made changes midway through production so nothing labeled K1 will fit. The connections for a new hotend, for example, would not fit my board. The nozzles labeled K1 are short, like nozzles my Ender took, but then I found out my K1 takes unicorns. I literally can't buy parts.

  • Yeah, I'm not even sure what to get now. But they're taking this Frankenstein monstrosity back or I'm going to burn them to the ground. I'm loud, angry, and litigious.

  • Oh damn. I'm discovering they're so much worse than I thought.

  • Don't buy Creality. I really liked the K1 but their support is insanely user-hostile.

  • Well I wish you would have told me that 3 months ago.

  • Nothing fits. I originally ordered regular nozzles because it said they were K1, but I went to replace one and out came a unicorn.

    Then I wanted to replace my thermistor, but lo and behold, the connections didn't match.

    I think the only thing I've bought that fit was the camera, and that didn't even fit properly - the head bangs into it all the time.
