FAQ
What filaments does the Creality K1 Max support?
Can the Creality K1 Max print PETG?
Yes. PETG prints well on the Creality K1 Max at about 240°C hotend and 80°C bed. See the full Creality K1 Max PETG profile.
Can the Creality K1 Max print ABS or ASA?
Yes — the Creality K1 Max is enclosed, which is exactly what ABS and ASA need to avoid warping.
Does the Creality K1 Max need an all-metal hotend for high-temp filament?
No — the Creality K1 Max already has an all-metal hotend, so it can safely reach the temperatures needed for ABS, ASA, PC and nylon (within its 300°C limit).
