In this video I will take you through my long term (8 month) experience with the Creality K1C high speed 3D printer. I previously covered the assembly with the regular K1 and these printers are almost identical in this regard. This printer requires very little in terms of assembly but I will highlight the differences between these two printers and show you my progression in print quality from start to finish.
I also have several upgrades that I have made available for the K1C as seen in the video. See the links below:

As SainSmart provided me with both the Creality K1C and their GT3 filament for the making of this video this wouldn't be possible without them and I would like to sincerely thank them for sending me this equipment.
If you have already purchased the Creality K1C I hope this video provides you with some insights that you find useful. To support my work, please consider visiting my website where you will find other upgrades for a large variety of other printers such as the K1 MAX, Ender 3 S1, Ender 5 S1, CR10 Smart, CR6 SE, Ender 7 and many more!

Overall, I would highly recommend the Creality K1C now that they have improved some of the VFA issues with regard to the original K1, as well extruder and hot end reliability. Also, as you saw in the video there is quite the leap forward in print quality from the nice slicer profiles within Creality Print 5.1
I own two K1C models and a regular K1 that have been in service in my print farm for quite some time and the K1C machines are going strong for 8 months now with only one machine experiencing a failed heater band. I have been very happy with the quality since Creality Print 5.1 was released and this makes the machine user friendly for beginners. Surprisingly it was also very easy to print with PETG which can be picky and tricky when it comes to slicer settings.
