Clog-free Extruder Kit with Quick-swap Nozzle
1st print, 2nd print, until you lose count. K1C always has your back.
Robust Extruder, Enhanced Reliability
The extruder of K1C is enhanced with a bolster spring and a ball plunger. It grips on filament tightly without slackening off.
Tri-metal "Unicorn" Nozzle, Quick to Swap
The durable steel-tipped copper nozzle is integrated with a titanium alloy heatbreak. It blocks heatcreep and can be swapped super easily.
1st: Hotend Fan for Minimal Heat Creep
Hardly any heat creeping up from hotend to extruder. It avoids pre-mature filament melting from messing the feeding flow.
2nd: Part Cooling Fan for Instant Hardening
A strong wind hardens the fresh extrusion via a special air duct. It catalyzes layer bonding and refines layer texture.
3rd: Auxiliary Fan for Overall Print Quality
An extra fan is on the chamber's side to assist the model cooling. It minimizes string and warping for bridges and overhangs.
Carbon Fiber Filled Filaments Brought into Play
K1C can make use of CF filaments, which are widely used in industrial printing for their mechanical strength and resistance to wear, deformation, and aging.
Hardened Steel Nozzle 300degrees Hotend + Hardened Steel Nozzle Tip
Going well with high-temp and wear-resistant filaments.
PEI Flexible Plate
Sticky to various materials, able to release 3D models with a slight bend.
Enclosed Design
Creating a constantly high-temp environment to forge stronger
Carefree & Smart Operations from Start to Finish
Highly automated except for a few taps. K1C is simple to use just like a smartphone.
Out of the Box Experience
K1C is well assembled and tested before shipment. After unboxing, it is ready for plug and play. The boot-up guide is similar to that of a new smartphone.
Auto Calibration with One Tap
Give it a tap and walk away. The auto calibration gets everything ready for you. Bid farewell to the frustrating leveling test with paper.
AI Camera Acts as Your Eyes
The built-in AI camera can watch over the printing, and will actively alert you when an error occurs*. Also great for video monitoring and time-lapse filming.
Proven to Be Super Fast
K1C inherits the lightweight and agile CoreXY system of K1. It offers a thrilling speed while retaining the print quality.
Solid Frame Using Die Cast Parts
The frame adopts bigger parts made by integrated die casting. With fewer seams, it looks neat and becomes utterly sturdy.
Glass Door and Transparent Sides
Acrylic sides & lid with a glass door form a stylish thermal enclosure. They are transparent to reveal what's going on inside.
Pleasant Air While Printing
K1C employs an active carbon filter to purify compounds and particles arising from molten filaments. Be reassured to stay day and night with it in the same space.
Quieter Than Ever
K1C allows you to opt for a speed & noise level for printing. In silent mode, it sounds like turning pages in a book. No more distraction from work or rest.
Partial Failure Just Skip It
No more worry when an individual print fails in batch printing, as you can exclude the partial failure from the batch.*
Make K1C Even More Powerful
K1C enjoys a lot of quality optional accessories. Its hardware is open-source, so you can DIY as you like.
Open-source Creality OS Based on Klipper
Creality OS enables many advanced functions such as linear advance and input shaping. You can customize it or join the open-source community to explore more.
Creality Print, More Than Just a Slicer
It features smart cooling, optimal retraction, slim supports, and allows users to manage a 3D print farm efficiently. Also, for the first time, it integrates a readily accessible 3D model library.
Creality Cloud, an Engaging Community
A diverse, convenient and interesting all-in-one 3D printing platform.
