¶ Overview
Q: Can regular filament print at high speed?
A：Yes, select the corresponding filament configuration in the slicer.
Q: What's the maximum print speed for my filament? Can it exceed 300 speed?
A：Need testing to determine
For filament loading steps, please refer to Wiki: K1C/K1C2025 Loading/Unloading/Changing Filament
¶ Slicer Settings
Open official slicer V6.1 or above
Select K1C printer and import model
Select the filament you plan to use in the upper right corner, modify specific parameters as needed for the model. For simple regular models, you can click [Single Slice Plate] directly after selecting the filament
For example:
When using regular PLA, select Generic PLA on the right
When using official CR-PLA, select CR-PLA on the right

¶ Pre-printing Preparation
¶ Clean the platform plate
For dirty platform plate or hand sweat contamination; clean with detergent and water, or wipe with alcohol
For thick adhesive or multiple prints; clean the platform plate with water
¶ Ensure correct adhesive application
Use the correct glue, as shown below, Figure 1 shows the solid glue that comes with the machine
Apply a thin layer of solid glue on the plate (factory-supplied glue)
For example:
¶ Confirm whether to enable Print Calibration
Print calibration includes auto-leveling, flow calibration, and first layer detection (flow calibration/first layer detection disabled by default)
If unchecked, auto-leveling/flow calibration/first layer detection won't execute
When is Print Calibration necessary?
Print calibration must be checked in these situations:
- Different filament from last print, e.g., last print used PLA, this print uses ABS (different bed temperature, leveling data varies)
- Machine has been moved
- Just upgraded firmware
When is Print Calibration unnecessary?
- Repeat printing, last print was successful
- Small model printing in bed center
¶ During Printing
When printing ABS/ASA or engineering filaments, it's recommended to manually turn off the chamber fan.
¶ Official Recommended Filament Parameters
Use CrealityPrint Version 6.1 or above.

Note: 1. The maximum printing speed and temperature depend on filament properties. Please refer to the manufacturer's recommendations and official slicer software settings. 2. Before printing, it is recommended to evenly apply glue stick on the print platform to improve first layer adhesion. 3. Moisture-sensitive materials like PA/PA-CF/TPU should be dried before printing or kept dry during storage. 4. For non-official filaments, please select generic filament parameters in the slicer software. 5. It is recommended to use official high-speed filaments for better print quality. |
