1st print, 2nd print, until you lose count.
K1C always has your back.

The extruder of K1C is enhanced with
a bolster spring and a ball plunger.
It grips on filament tightly without slackening off.

Data from Creality Lab.

The durable steel-tipped copper nozzle is integrated
with a titanium alloy heatbreak.
It blocks heatcreep and can be swapped super easily.

Feeding

Please make sure the nozzle
has cooled down
before getting your hand on it.

1st: Hotend Fan
for Minimal Heat Creep

Hardly any heat creeping up from hotend to extruder.
It avoids pre-mature filament melting from
messing the feeding flow.

2nd: Part Cooling Fan
for Instant Hardening

A strong wind hardens the fresh extrusion
via a special air duct. It catalyzes layer bonding
and refines layer texture.

The weight of printhead fans is dynamically balanced.
So they are less likely to wobble, minimizing ringing or ghosting.

Rationale of Dynamic Balancing

3rd: Auxiliary Fan
for Overall Print Quality

An extra fan is on the chamber’s side to assist the model cooling.
It minimizes string and warping
for bridges and overhangs.

K1C can make use of CF filaments, which are widely used
in industrial printing for their mechanical strength
and resistance to wear, deformation, and aging.

Why does K1C support so many filaments?

300° Hotend + Hardened
Steel Nozzle Tip

Going well with high-temp
and wear-resistant filaments.

PEI Flexible Plate

Sticky to various materials, able to
release 3D models with a slight bend.

The visual effect is
for reference only.

Enclosed Design

Creating a constantly high-temp environment to forge stronger

Jigs & fixtures, prototypes, parts, etc.

PLA-CF/PET-CF

Amazing mechanical strength and dimensional stability.

Highly automated except for a few taps.
K1C is simple to use just like a smartphone.

Out of the Box
Experience

K1C is well assembled and tested
before shipment. After unboxing, it is ready
for plug and play.
The boot-up guide is similar
to that of a new smartphone.

AI Camera
Acts as Your Eyes

The built-in AI camera can watch over the printing,
and will actively alert you when an error occurs*.
Also great for video monitoring and time-lapse filming.

Active alert and video monitoring requires
connection to Creality Print or Creality Cloud APP.

Proven to Be Super Fast

K1C inherits the lightweight and agile CoreXY system of K1.
It offers a thrilling speed while retaining the print quality.

Contemporary Style

Solid Frame Using
Die Cast Parts

The frame adopts bigger parts
made
by integrated die casting.
With fewer seams, it looks neat
and becomes utterly sturdy.

Glass Door and
Transparent Sides

Acrylic sides & lid with a glass door
form a stylish thermal enclosure.
They are transparent to reveal
what's going on inside.

Cheers!
Joy Never Diminished

Pleasant Air While Printing

K1C employs an active carbon filter to purify
compounds and particles arising from molten filaments.
Be reassured to stay day and night with it
in the same space.

Quieter Than Ever

K1C allows you to opt for a speed & noise level for printing.
In silent mode, it sounds like turning pages in a book.
No more distraction from work or rest.

Silent Mode

≤45dB

Measured at 1-meter distance, data from Creality Lab.

Partial Failure? Just Skip It

No more worry when an individual print fails
in batch printing, as you can exclude the partial failure
from the batch.*

This function requires the connection
to Creality Print at present.
It will also be available in Creality OS soon.

Rationale of
Dynamic Balancing

An ordinary cooling fan tends to shake
when rotating dynamically because its weight is not
uniform and the centrifugal force is not consistent.

So, we measure the discrepancies and balance the
weight accurately until the center of gravity,
the axis of rotation, and the principal axis of
inertia overlap. Then, no more shaking.
