I’ve never watched your channel before but I’m an 3d printer enthusiast and I absolutely love the fact that you are a novice and blatantly showed how simple it is to use one. I’m now a subscriber!!!
15:34 The strip of foam with the adhesive - goes in the inside of the clear dome cover, on the left side - it's because the chain track that holes the filament bowden tube and connection wires - bumps into the dome and some people don't like the noise it makes, so this piece of foam silences it a little to a low thud. you can also remove the cover when printing PLA (I personally do not) or print a riser or a riser and chain riser combo unit that has a groove for the chain to keep moving out of hte top of the printer.
how do I know this? reddit lol, but Creality DOES tell you this, but it's on the 'full manual' (not the printed manual) that is on the USB drive, it's not the same as the manual online. Seems weird that the full manual is not available online and only on a thumbdrive that you might misplace, and that does not include any software for Mac users.
I'm currently 3D printing some speaker spikes in TPU to make my studio setup look a bit tidier. Not bad prints! Bit of advice: Temperature control is very important. You can have the exact same filament type (i.e. PLA) and size, but one by a different manufacturer will print differently at the same temp, so you need to figure that out. Even +/-5°C difference can make a huge difference in print quality. Also, I've found out black filament tends to absorb heat a lot better, so slightly lower temp for that vs white filament. Makes sense because darker colours absorb heat a lot faster than lighter colours. There are some settings like "initial layer height", as well as how slow to print the first few layers for proper bed adhesion and quality of print. Usually the first few layers are done slower, but it's something you can likely tweak. Hell, you can probably tweak everything! The slicer you choose also changes how the print turns out. I guess you're using the in-built one? I use something called "Ultimaker Cura". It's a great slicer with tonnes of options you can tweak to perfection for your specific setup. If you ever want any advice on 3D printing or want to see how I print using my Ender 3, just pop down. I'll put the kettle on. :) Just down the road anyway!
I have been looking at 3D printers for a couple of years now but never bit the bullet till now. Watching your video helped me to decide to go for it. Creality is probably the one for me and after looking at the Ender Series and K1 series I have decided on the K1C printer. I like that I can print with CF filaments and like Creality products in general from all the videos I have seen. So I will be ordering my K1C at the end of the month, again, thanks for helping me to decide.
I new to 3D Printing as well! I bought Ender-3 S Pro but didn’t get it going as it needs lot of manual levelling. So, I sent them back and asked for CR-10 SE. But after reading and seeing lots of videos, I’m now thinking to get this K1C as it seems the one I would like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as I believe, *_Our World_* is a *_Shared Experience_* … Thank you matey! Cheers!!! 🖖
I thought when I saw the title this would be more of an ad but I really liked the video and how you incorporated the sponsorship with your own business to give new ideas. Thanks!
I have 4 3D printers now and am hooked. Lol. They are amazing and have come such a long way in the last few years. My latest purchase was a k1 a few months ago. And i have moded all my printers as well. Once you get more comfortable with 3D printing and software you can then root your k1c and install full fluidd and unlock klipper software and get its full potential. You will see how much more control you can get once you root the printer. And that foam strip is for the lid. It goes on one side. If you watch the creality youtube unboxing video you will see what i mean and where it goes.
When I get my 1st 3D printer, Ill be printing: Laptop feet, Mikrotik router black mounting case, 'C' cups to make slising draws under my desk for small items, tool holder for when i solder, single to dual screen mount for my existing single arm screen mount, tool box's for small tools.
Certain parts of that box look very much like a generic box you see in lots of 3D printed designs. I've got one for my Bambu Lab P1S with all the tools that came in came with it as well, different size, but the hindges and latch look identical. I think if it's the box I'm thinking of there is a 'parametic' version you can find somewhere that allows you to open the file in some 3d software if you have it and set the dimentions of the box to whatever you want and 3D print a different version. You could potentially remix it in all kinds of ways. For example, there are also 3d printable brackets that you can print to attach Bosch/Sortimo tool boxes to a surface. Imagine if you mixed the two model and you could 3d print your own custom box that would attach to one of those manufacturers tool boxes. There is probably others for other brands too.
Well colour me interested. I want to do insert trays, so I can use my tools on the road but have two layers of tools, not just one. Printing cases and such would be awesome.
The tool wall I posted on your FB group was 3D printed. A combination of internal support struts and an outer shell. The shells have a white filament for the first 3 layers to act as the diffuser then a colour change for the rest. Then the obligatory shadow foam inserts for the tools.
Just wondering, cost of the printer aside. What did it cost in filament to print the whole box? I know nothing about 3d printing but I'm looking for a new toy 🙂
Great Video, I got in to 3D printing a few years back, I have printed all sorts of things from Phone holders to power tools battery holders, I use fusion 360 to create my designs. Enjoy your 3D printing. 😀
So with this printer, would I be able to if I’d like purchase a toolbox a tool set empty out the tools and just copy the toolbox and then I could just return everything give me my money back and then just have the case fire free? Would that work
First thing I’d be doing is printing a lid spacer never mind the tool box - Very happy with my K1 and waiting on the K1C-Max (bound to be later this year)to step up quality and material options
The creality store does not have replacement nozzles for this printer. I asked on the store chat and they have no idea when or if they will be available. This is a deal breaker
Well you can't expect them to have replacement nozzles just yet, you can only preorder the printer itself and they won't ship them for another probably few weeks. It's unreasonable to want buy replacement nozzles for printer you don't even have yet... give them few weeks and everything will be in stock
The K1C is a good printer, when Creality give it multi filament printing capability it will be great printer and a real challenger to the Bambu Labs X1Carbon.
I'm a service engineer. I travel by air all the time and I'm constantly struggling with my travel tool case (pelican 1535). I'm curious how well this foam holds up with the constant tossing around of checked luggage and 40lbs worth of tools and equipment.
That is what Shadow Foam was made for! We’ve had customer use it to transport camera gear in flight cases through airport baggage and they’ve not had any issues!
My K1C is supposed to arrive tomorrow, though I doubt I will have any time during the week to really play with it (stupid adulting and work), though this toolbox may be one of my first prints, after the Benchy of course. Where'd you get the foam inserts?
the settings that come with the model are all ways set a bit fast.... slow the print speed down a bit mate it take a bit longer but it will print better...
My wife just walked in, Took one look at the screen and said....No. Im now looking for all the things i can print my son to justify the need for this...
I'm torn. The K1C seems to fix a lot of problems that I've heard about from the K1, but the Bambu Labs is just the more solid and proven machine. For only $100 more, I'm thinking P1S.
Got my K1C two weeks ago and after modest printing of simple toys and calibration models one of pulleys for lifting the bed got broken to pieces. Creality quality is not impressive, because I have no clue how a metal cast part can break because the main force is applied to it with a rubber belt. The rubber belt is more rigid than the metal part??
@ShadowFoam nothing much. I have to go and try and talk to some numpty at Peugeot this next week to see if I can get a new locking mechanism for my grandma's car. Also, look at getting one of those 3D printers. I have put it off for some time

Benchy is a waste of time and material. Ive never printed it. Maybe im wrong, but that sticky rubber looks like a spare door sealer in case of disassembly cuz its hiding screws in frame
