Creality K1 / K1C
Creality’s compact enclosed CoreXY printer: fast, and the K1C version has a hardened nozzle for carbon-fibre filaments.
- Build size: 220 × 220 × 250 mm
- Body: Enclosed
Our take
Creality’s compact enclosed CoreXY printer: fast, and the K1C version has a hardened nozzle for carbon-fibre filaments. Its 220 mm plate is smaller than the 256 mm most of our templates are made for, so a few need scaling down.
What’s good
- Enclosed and fast for its price
- The K1C prints carbon-fibre filled filaments
- Runs open Klipper firmware, for tinkerers
Worth knowing
- A 220 mm plate: some of our bigger templates won’t fit in one piece
- More fiddly to tune than a Bambu Lab
- Single colour as standard
What you can make on it
It prints 110 of our 117 customisable 3D templates in one piece.

Questions
What can I print on the Creality K1 / K1C?
Its build size is 220 × 220 × 250 mm, which prints 110 of our 117 customisable 3D templates in one piece at their default size. Most of the rest can be made smaller in the designer, or are printed in parts.
Is the Creality K1 / K1C enclosed?
Yes. That keeps the warmth in for ABS and ASA, and the noise and smell in too.
