Main Technical Details

K1 - King of speed

K1, with its amazing speed, will awaken people's enthusiasm for 3D printing. Fast speed reduces printing time and increases efficiency. It uses less energy for the same result, making it more environmentally friendly. Most importantly, it focuses on the pure joy of creation.

Fast, in an epic way

Crazy 600 mm/s. K1 is 12 times faster than a regular FDM 3D printer. Sit back and enjoy the thrill of breathtaking speed.

Always print at top speed

With an acceleration of 20,000 mm/s², the K1 ramps up to 600 mm/s in just 0.03 s, delivering maximum speed in 90% of the printing time.

Agile configuration for speed

K1 combines the agile Core XY with a lightweight 190 g printhead for lower motion inertia. Agile and fast.

32 mm³/s flow rate at full speed

New ceramic heater that surrounds the entire hotend. Heats up to 200 ℃ in 40 seconds and melts filament instantly. Double-gear direct extruder offering a strong extrusion force of 50 N. Hotend with titanium alloy heatbreak and copper alloy nozzle, which works very successfully at up to 300 ℃.

Model cooling by dual fans.

A large fan located in the print head with air ducts cools the model directly. An 18 W auxiliary fan in the build chamber also enhances the cooling effect.

The model stiffens before stringing or deformation occurs. It allows bridges and cantilevers without supports.

Creality Print 4.3 with Speed Genes

The latest self-developed cutter, Creality Print 4.3, includes rich presets and streamlines the cutting process into 3 simple steps. Even better, it enhances high-speed printing with variable line width, arc path, etc.

Speedy Creality operating system and hardware

K1 adopts Creality intelligent operating system. It features a simple user interface and synchronizes data and commands with PC, phone, cloud and add-on modules. The nimble 1.2GHz dual-core CPU enables high-speed printing with ease. The 8G ROM stores up to 400 model files and allows for fast writing and reading.

K1 features:

1. Fast heating heating base: the aluminum alloy heating base distributes heat evenly and quickly. Reaches 60°C in only 180s.
2. Flexible construction plate: sticky and heat-resistant, works well with a wide range of filaments. Finely ground surface makes the model base thin and smooth. Flexible for quick impression removal.
3. One-touch self-test: Tap it and K1 will automatically test the extruder, heating base, chamber (optional), fan, leveling, etc. Any anomalies detected will appear on the screen. Therefore, users can proceed with confidence and without problems.
4. Hands-free automatic leveling: a series of tension sensors are integrated into the heating base to generate an accurate leveling grid. The whole process happens by itself after printing starts. You don't need to lift a finger or pay attention.

Connected and worry-free control

K1 can print via USB drive or WiFi. With a network connection, K1 can be controlled or monitored* remotely from Creality Print or Creality Cloud APP/WEB. Cluster control is also enabled when many K1 printers are online. Once printing is complete or abnormal, an alert will be sent to your phone or PC. No more close monitoring.

Stand up to the challenge of speed

The K1's die-cast aluminum alloy unibody frame is CNC machined to be precise and rigid. It enables consistent high-speed printing. And print quality is excellent every time.

No ringing at high speed

A G-sensor in the printhead measures the resonant frequencies of high-speed printing and automatically adjusts the printer to mitigate them. No more ghosting or buzzing in printing.

Delicate texture with no Z-banding

Improved Z-axis with more precise positioning effectively reduces Z-banding. Texture has never been so subtle.
