¶ 1. Overview
- Can standard filament be printed at high speeds?
Answer: Yes, it can. But you need to select the corresponding filament configuration in the slicer.
- What is the maximum speed for my filament to print, and can it exceed 300 speed?
Answer: This will need to be determined through testing.
Please refer to Load Filament/ Unload Filament/ Change Filament for feeding steps.
¶ 2. Slicing Settings
Open the official slicer Creality Print version 4.3.6.6220 or higher.
Select the printer K1 Max.
In the filament section at the top right of interface, choose "General filament" (For versions earlier than 4.3.6, it is prefixed with "generic").
For example:
- If you are printing with ABS, select "General ABS" on the filament list and click "Slice."
- If you are printing with regular PLA, select "General PLA"on the filament list.
- If you are printing with Silk PLA, choose "Silk-PLA" on the filament list.
¶ 3. Preparing for Printing
¶ 3.1 Cleaning the Build Plate
If the build plate is dirty, possibly due to hand sweat contamination, clean it by using dishwashing detergent and water, or wipe it with alcohol.
If the adhesive is applied too thickly, or if you have printed multiple times, please clean the build plate with water.
¶ 3.2 Ensuring Proper Adhesive Application
Use the correct glue stick., as shown in the image below. The machine comes with glue stick, or you can use Deli's yellow glue stick. Avoid using green Deli glue sticks.
Apply a thin layer of glue stick to the build plate.
Machine's factory adhesive:
For example：
¶ 3.3 Confirming the Need for Print Calibration
Print calibration includes automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection functions (Flow rate calibration/First layer detection functions are turned off by default).
If it is not checked, automatic bed leveling, flow rate calibration, and first-layer detection will not be executed.
¶ 3.3.1 When Must Print Calibration be Selected?
Print calibration must be selected in the following situations:
①. When switching filament different from the previous print, e.g., switching from PLA in the previous print to ABS (different bed temperature, leveling data differences).
②. When the machine has been moved.
③. After a firmware upgrade.
¶ 3.3.2 When Is Print Calibration Not Required?
Print calibration is not necessary in the following situations:
①. When reprinting the same model that was previously successful.
②. When printing a relatively small model located at the center of the build plate.
¶ 4. During Printing
If you are printing with engineering materials like ABS/ASA, it is recommended to manually turn off the enclosure fan.
¶ 5. Recommended filament Parameters
¶ 5.1 Official Recommended filament Parameters
Use CrealityPrint version 4.3.5.5797 or higher version.
