The K1 Max is a beast for large prints. 600mm/s speeds are achievable and the quality at high speed is respectable. The enclosed chamber handles ASA well. My main gripe is the Creality OS is a bit clunky and requires workarounds to get Klipper-style tuning control.

Mixed feelings on this one. The print quality is good and the speed is real, but the software ecosystem feels half-baked compared to Bambu. Several firmware updates have improved things since launch. If you need a large enclosed printer and want to save money vs Bambu, this works.

Massive build volume, legitimately fast, and the quality is surprisingly good even at high speeds. I use mine for large cosplay props and functional prototypes. The auto-leveling across the big bed is reliable. Creality support has been responsive when I had a nozzle clog issue.
