THE K1 MAX

The K1 Max enclosure features tempered glass side and front panels (top also) and unlike the X-Plus 3 by Qidi the structure is almost entirely made out of due cast aluminum.

Right from the box the front door handle is not mounted so you will to mount it yourself.

Same goes for the 4.3" touchscreen display which you will need to attach to the cable seen above.

Turning the enclosure around we find the carbon air filter, RJ45 ethernet port, filament spool holder mount, on/off power switch and the power port with a replaceable fuse.

Attaching the filament spool holder and the filament comes next obviously.

Since almost like the X-Plus 3 by Qidi vibrations is an issue with the K1 Max don't forget to attach the rubber feet as seen above.

The flexible heated plate allows for print jobs up to 300x300x300mm in size.

At the front Creality lists the time and temperatures required for each type of filament (also that their filaments work best with their printers which is not surprising to be honest).

There's also a blower type fan attached on the right side panel which is obviously there to circulate air inside the case.

A somewhat interesting device is the AI camera which comes with the K1 Max (this camera allows for both timelapse recordings and print monitoring - timelapse video available on TikTok and YouTube).

The dual-gear direct drive extruder features a cooling fan at the front (used to cool the printed model) and an AI LiDAR sensor on the left (used primarily for bed leveling).

The top tempered glass panel is a nice touch (as long as you're careful).
