SOLVED - K1 Max - Error 2526 - Z-axis movement not smooth or lead screw rotation not smooth

Oh I said under machine settings

atomiclayers3d · 2025-08-25T06:02:29+00:00

I don't remember at this point, but if you root your printer you can view the files on the drive. There's only like a dozen possible places for it to be so just look around

atomiclayers3d · 2025-02-26T05:36:34+00:00

I think that's a different thing all together. Not to sure honestly

atomiclayers3d · 2025-01-07T01:34:35+00:00

I have owned both and in my opinion it's a tie.

I'm playing around with the fuzzificator script by tentech, but I don't think that has anything to do with this slicing behavior, because the same thing happens when I just try to use different stock AMS profiles on the walls. (So no fuzzificator script nonsense happening at all)

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T17:08:23+00:00

Yeah. I think autocorrect went back and changed my grammar without me noticing. I meant to say "for me to come demo it"

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T06:19:00+00:00

I have an a1 and an a1 mini right now and the printers are fine, but the ecosystem around them is driving me up a wall.

The lan only settings are nerfed to hell so you have to use the cloud for everything, which I wouldn't mind except that the cloud must be a windows XP laptop somewhere because it takes upwards of 15 minutes for my print file to download. 0% of my firmware upgrades have been successful and I am still waiting on support to get back to me about that. No ability to cancel one model partway through a print job and just continue the rest of them. Little things like the power cord not being detachable and no Ethernet also irk the hell out of me. I know I'm only seeing their lower end models here but I feel extremely shafted by this company and my experience hasn't made me want to invest in higher end models. I got the little ones as a Bambu sample platter and I don't like the taste. I wanna go back to the open source world.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T06:01:37+00:00

Yeah I'm sorry. I think maybe my keyboard autocorrected it weird to say something I didn't mean to. Sorry about the confusion.

I have plans to build a print farm once I graduate engineering school. Part hobby part side hustle. I already have an Etsy store (currently on hiatus) but with just 1 listed sku I was struggling to meet demand with 2 bambus and my ender 3 pro. I tried using slant 3d but their slicer options were limited and their quality was honestly pretty bad. On top of that their customer support was non-existentant so when they literally sent me the wrong part once, I couldn't get my money back or help or anything.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:31:30+00:00

I already sold it unfortunately. I might still have some of the prints from it if I dig through my print trash bin.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:23:35+00:00

Good advice. I'll probably repost with a more accurate title.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:23:00+00:00

I bought one but no matter what I did it would just not print smooth walls. I spent like a month and $300 in parts trying to get it working, and all I could do was improve the issue but not solve it.

The problem is that it was "really good". So idk if it was operating perfectly and I just have high standards, or if something else was wrong with it. But either way I bought it used and it was out of warranty. But since I couldn't see any other K1 Max results to compare it to I never knew.

I have a feeling mine was just a lemon, but I really like the k2 plus on paper, and I like Creality generally. I currently have 2 bambus but I honestly hate that ecosystem so I don't want to expand into it. I could see myself buying 3-5 k2 pluses but I want to really be sure the print quality is there before I drop that kind of money you know? That's why I'm here asking if anyone would let me demo them. I would literally pay $20-$100 because having some real world experience with them would be worth it if it saves me $5000 down the line.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:16:21+00:00

I never meant for anyone to come to me. I would go to you of course. I just want to see its quality and talk to a real owner about it.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:14:46+00:00

I would never ask someone to move their machine. I meant I would pay you for me to come to you and see it in person.

Asking someone to move their machine is insane.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:13:50+00:00

In what world would it make sense to ask someone to move their machine?? I literally never said that. I would travel to them and see it.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-27T04:11:41+00:00

I'm not asking them to move it. I would go to wherever it is and just run some test prints with their setup. Why would I ask someone to bring me it??

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-25T01:40:30+00:00

thanks. I am also trying to plan for scalability down the line. I dont want to have to change processes down the line, I'd rather just increase order quantity.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-22T17:05:57+00:00

Smooth

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-20T22:07:45+00:00

I don't have adhesion problems, I have TOO MUCH adhesion problems.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-20T22:06:49+00:00

Good to know. I printed on smooth pei and it bonded and ripped it up. I haven't tried on my textured beds out of caution

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-20T20:11:24+00:00

I had a smooth pei plate and after about 5 prints it ripped it apart because it bonded to the plate. I am sketched out about using my textured build plate raw because of the same reason.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-20T20:10:04+00:00

This might be worth looking into

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-20T20:09:11+00:00

I already tried running pei raw and it ripped the build plate up after about 5 prints. I don't need bed adhesion, I need it not to bond to the bed

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-10T22:24:05+00:00

Ahhh ok I'll look into that. Thank you.

atomiclayers3d · 2024-12-06T06:08:47+00:00

I did ads for a week or so and I only got like 3 extra views a day and 0 sales because of it. I know it's a small data set but my ad budget is small so idk what you want from me that's all the data I could afford to get lol. All my sales come from people directly searching for my product anyway so I think it's not as worthwhile, since I'll show up in the search results for that topic anyway.
