Big build volume, without the bulk

The K1 Max 3D printer takes the speed and intelligence of the K1 series and scales it up: a 300×300×300mm build volume in a footprint that stays remarkably compact, a lightweight 190g CoreXY printhead for less motion inertia, and AI LiDAR plus an AI camera watching over every print from first layer to last.

Why choose it

Why Choose the K1 Max 3D Printer?

Four qualities that make it a genuine step up for speed, capacity and peace of mind.

600mm/s Printing Speed

A nimble CoreXY structure hits up to 600mm/s max speed and 20,000mm/s² acceleration, at up to 32mm³/s flow.

Versatile AI LiDAR

A 1μm resolution LiDAR scans the first layer on its own, pausing the print and alerting you the moment something's off.

Observant AI Camera

Watches over spaghetti failures, foreign objects and debris, with real-time monitoring and shareable time-lapses.

300×300×300mm Build Volume

A high build-volume-to-printer-size ratio of 25.5% makes the K1 Max one of the most size-efficient FDM printers in its class.

Under the hood

What's inside the K1 Max 3D Printer

A CoreXY platform tuned for speed, capacity and intelligent oversight.

Printing Technology

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) on a nimble, lightweight CoreXY structure.

Build Volume

300 × 300 × 300mm — enough for rapid prototyping and design verification at real scale.

Printhead

A 190g lightweight printhead keeps motion inertia low, even at high acceleration.

Extruder

Dual-gear direct drive extruder delivering strong, consistent extrusion force.

Hotend

New ceramic heater encircling the entire hotend, reaching 200°C in 40 seconds, with a titanium alloy heatbreak and hardened steel nozzle rated to 300°C.

Intelligence

Built-in AI LiDAR and AI camera, running on Creality OS with a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU and 8G ROM.

Super Power of Speed

Speed

12x faster, without giving up detail

The typical speed is 300mm/s; the travel speed is 600mm/s.*

Nimble setup for speed

The K1 Max 3D printer combines the nimble Core XY with a 190g lightweight printhead for less motion inertia. Agile and swift.

Hotend

Max. 32mm³/s flow

A new ceramic heater encircles the entire hotend. It heats to 200°C in 40 seconds and melts the filament instantly.

A dual-gear direct extruder delivers strong extrusion force, and the hotend's titanium alloy heatbreak and hardened steel nozzle work well up to 300°C.

Cooling

Get cool models on the fly

Model cooling by dual fans.

A large fan on the printhead with air ducts cools the model directly.
An 18W auxiliary fan in the build chamber enhances the cooling effect, too.

Dual cooling allows support-free bridges and overhangs.

Slicing software

Creality Print 4.3 with Speed Genes

The latest self-developed slicer, Creality Print 4.3, includes rich presets and streamlines the slicing process into three simple stages.

Even better, it bolsters high-speed printing with variable line width, arc path, and more.

Build volume

Max capacity, efficient use of space

The K1 Max 3D printer boasts a 300×300×300mm large build volume, great for rapid prototyping or design verification. It offers a high build-volume-to-printer-size ratio of 25.5%, making it one of the most size-efficient FDM printers in its class.

AI LiDAR takes care of the first layer

Still worry about the first layer? Just leave it to the AI LiDAR of the K1 Max 3D printer. The 1μm resolution LiDAR scans the first layer on its own — it will pause printing and tell you immediately if something goes wrong.

AI Camera

AI camera keeps a keen watch

The K1 Max 3D printer uses an AI camera to watch over spaghetti failure, foreign objects, debris and more. It alerts you when an error occurs, and also supports real-time monitoring and creates time-lapses for sharing.

Spaghetti Detection

Catches a failed print early and can pause the job before filament is wasted.

Foreign Object Detection

Spots debris left on the plate before a new print starts.

Time-lapse Filming

Turns every print into a shareable clip, straight from the built-in camera.

Creality OS

Smart system, unbridled performance

The K1 Max 3D printer adopts the smart Creality OS. It features a straightforward UI, and syncs data and commands with PC, phone, Cloud and add-on modules. The snappy dual-core 1.2GHz CPU powers high-speed printing with ease, and the 8G ROM stores up to 400 model files with quick writing and reading.

Intelligent aid to your print farm

Once the K1 Max 3D printer is connected via WiFi or an RJ45 Ethernet port to the internet or a data-secure LAN, you can monitor and control printing from a PC or phone with Creality Print software or Creality Cloud. Even better, when many K1 Max printers are online, they can be easily clustered or grouped for volume production.
