— Honest assessment
Pros & cons after using one.
Pros
- Largest enclosed bed at this price
- Built-in lidar + AI camera failure detection
- Klipper firmware with input shaper + pressure advance pre-configured
- Same fast print speeds as the standard K1 — bigger doesn't mean slower
Cons
- Same QC variance as smaller K1 — early units had teething issues
- Heavy and bulky — needs a sturdy table
- Loud at full speed (CoreXY + active cooling)
- Single nozzle / single-color only

What this printer is calibrated for.
— Owner tips
What we'd tell someone unboxing one.
- 1Calibrate input shaper at the build size — defaults are tuned for the smaller K1
- 2Use a wide brim for parts > 200mm — corner lift on big footprints
- 3Door seal degrades over time; replace yearly for ABS / ASA work
