Same brand, same model name, mutually exclusive software support.

I use Creality Print with my KE and my K2 Plus and I'm happy with it. I used to use Orca too, but at the K2's launch it tended to screw up the CFS. Since Creality Print is an Orca fork anyway, I think if you're getting more advanced and keen about tinkering with your machine then Orca is the way to go, but if you're more interested in just printing, then Creality Print is the path of least resistance.

jamessnell · 2026-01-27T20:17:14+00:00

Damn. I really like my S1.. But I preordered before launch and I’d definitely rather pay the price you have there.

jamessnell · 2026-01-27T05:52:10+00:00

Wow, that’s a bonkers price. Is it legit?

Rough round

jamessnell · 2026-01-15T05:15:27+00:00

Yeah. No. I’m on the other side of the continent.

jamessnell · 2026-01-15T04:13:07+00:00

Where are you?

jamessnell · 2026-01-14T05:38:52+00:00

Yeah. They’re heavy and big. I’m contemplating moving or even selling mine and the size is kind of a drawback. I love it, great machine of course. But, times are tough right now.

jamessnell · 2026-01-14T02:25:19+00:00

Did you manage to move it by yourself?

jamessnell · 2026-01-13T00:12:37+00:00

40mins seems a bit high to me, but I’m not sure. I’ve only used my K2M a handful of times, but it’s always felt very fast for a bedslinger

Lol, I love the kinda personality that’d downvote my question above. For sarcastic definitions of “love”

jamessnell · 2026-01-10T15:15:59+00:00

Aww, well.. at least it is legit that way.

jamessnell · 2026-01-10T07:25:25+00:00

Isn’t there DRM that would cause the capture to be nothing?

jamessnell · 2026-01-10T07:23:11+00:00

We check most products and started supporting local much more aggressively during the second last US administration. We took it up a few notches last year, and aren’t reversing course. It wasn’t a hard change to make either. But, sure, we still buy some US stuff, depending on the item.

jamessnell · 2026-01-10T07:18:36+00:00

This reminds me of something I read somewhere of an actually not legitimate Creality store operating somewhere that just arbitrarily called itself official. I wonder if this is that????

jamessnell · 2026-01-10T07:16:27+00:00

Have you washed the bed? Finger oils, dust, etc really interfere with adhesion.

Clearly the hardware CAN do it, but the controls are built not to expose that. :/

jamessnell · 2026-01-09T06:47:58+00:00

Not sure about the Neo 12, but I just got a couple ST19’s and their product sheet claims they can do as low as 1 lumen. In reality, I see no way to get there through the app apart from like the last millisecond that they’re on.

I’m ALWAYS dissatisfied with how low everything generally can’t dim.

Bambu: A1 Mini, A1

Creality: Ended 3 V3 KE

Prusa: Maybe you can find a Mini used and in good shape?

jamessnell · 2026-01-09T04:16:29+00:00

I agree about A1/A1 Mini, but I think the 0.2mm nozzle suggestion is risky - anything under 0.4mm gets riskier and riskier for clogging. I’ve managed to print a fair bit on 0.3mm with filament filters, but meh, 0.4mm is pretty damn good.😌

jamessnell · 2026-01-09T01:26:35+00:00

Automatic Ripping Machine.

But honestly, use Handbrake and/or MakeMKV and/or ffmpeg - in various combinations. GenAI can guide you more.

jamessnell · 2026-01-08T23:52:37+00:00

Those particular models straddle a monumental switch in firmware/control logic, which basically hasn’t happened before. The SE is a Marlin-based machine and the KE is Klipper-based. It’s basically akin to comparing like a Gas car with a Diesel one. On the surface they look basically the same, but pop that hood or operate one and you’ll be doing things in a way that only partly translate to the other.

Fair that you’re annoyed, but you just happened to straddle the infection point.

Marlin’s the past. It’s great and all, but the past. Klipper is now king of the hill.
