Extra features	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.	A steel drive shaft synchronizes the two Y-axis belts. High-torque 42-48 Y-axis motor for responsive and precise movement. Cartesian structure. Enhanced stability by thick linear shafts, extra stiffeners, two cantilevers, and silicone bumpers. Double Die Spring profile reinforcement. Silicone bed support. All-metal Sprite direct extruder. Best for printing with flexible filaments like TPU. Auto-calibration with 16-point CR Touch. Compatible with Sonic Pad, Wifi Box, and Camera kit.
