Extra features The BIQU B1 is an advanced 3D printer with a silent 32-bit BTT SKR V1.4 motherboard and ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, offering DIY interfaces (I2C, SPI, WiFi) and dual Z-axis. Its dual BTT B1 TFT35 V3.0 operating system allows real-time monitoring and multiple printing modes, including G-code visualization effects. It stands out for its BIQU SSS (Super Spring Steel), ensuring easy model adhesion and simplified removal, with the possibility of using it on both sides. It includes a filament sensor, automatically pausing printing in case of filament breakage. The multicolored RGB lights integrated into the hotend allow you to view the printing status even at night. Additional notes include the need for a BIQU-specific Type-C cable and extra interfaces for smart filament sensor and BL Touch. The Creality K1 Max stands out as a fast Core XY 3D printer with a large build volume of 300 x 300 x 300 mm. It is fully enclosed and equipped with AI sensors to prevent print failures. This model has a smooth and flexible PEI build platform, and uses an automatic leveling system with LIDAR, as well as a filament run-out sensor. LAN, Creality Cloud and USB Flash Disk connectivity are available, as well as a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface. The K1 Max is robust, weighing in at 18 kg, and includes an AI camera and limited version of the Klipper firmware. Its motion system is solid and the printer is efficient with high-temperature filaments, but it is not silent. Assembly is 99% complete, requiring only minor adjustments before use.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) NO NO
