No worries. I’ve sent you updated link in another comment.

Here’s another hotend link, the old one was dead indeed: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EQs5RNi You can get very cheap MK8 nozzles for it, or get some better ones too. The hardened steel ones can handle the CF filaments really well, I’ve been using one for over a year now.

Good luck with that, they don’t care too much about respecting OSS licensing either. Aside from that I’m enjoying my K1 - after I’ve modified it ;)

I don’t one why you’re asking me these questions. The link works for me - maybe it’s your adblocker. I believe it was only the extruder that was different. Creality support was pretty bad, but I’ve pressed them to eventually send me replacement parts when I needed them

So is your printer using unicorn nozzles (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHOujRQ)? I believe K1C and maybe some newer builds of K1/Max came with those. I have switched to CHCB-OT (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EJhmisG) it has a good flow and easy to find nozzles (MK8).

Did you get K1, K1C, K1 max or something else? Can you link to the parts you got/show their photos ?

Also preheating and waiting before bed leveling helps. These beds are wobbly. I’ve put a glass bed on top of the factory one on my K1

Yeah, I dry my filament (especially PETG) with one of those too. I don’t have to use glue, it just makes PETG easier to remove from the plate. Otherwise it can stick to the plate too well (had a case where I removed the model with some of the PEI coating).

I’m actually using spray glue (3dlac) usually with a textured PEI (rarely a smooth PEI) plate. I’m also using PET/PEO (double sided) plate with PETG (without glue) - adhesion is really good, but not too good (so it’s easy to clean).

3 things that help me with PETG when it comes to separate it from the plate:

1. Glue (yes, really)
2. Cooling it off (sometimes putting the plate with leftovers on the freezer)
3. Olfa scraper (at a right angle to not scratch the plate)

Corp0 speak

I think I was getting Jayo PETG from AliExpress. As for PCTG it was from Rosa3D - you can get it directly from them or through Allegro
