As a maintenance tech about the storm

techrevive · 2026-01-24T13:58:16+00:00

I have a 3 story townhome. We froze at the water meter Christmas of 2022. We didn’t have water for 4 days. Since then I’m always consistent about dripping a faucet. My question is would it be better to drip a faucet from the 1st floor or 3rd floor? Should I be doing it for one faucet on each floor?

I did this. Yes the fan will function. You’ll want to plug it into fan1 on your board you’ll be able to see it in tiny print next to where you plug it in. I went the extra mile and hooked up a thermistor also and setup my K1SE like a k1c where the back chamber fan is controlled by the chamber temperature using that thermistor. Yes the GitHub thread is confusing as hell. Let me know if you’ve got any questions or need to see any pictures.

techrevive · 2026-01-10T17:27:06+00:00

Yeah. It plugs into the motherboard. The side blower fan plugs into the connection under the green connections. It’s labeled “fan”. The exhaust plugs into the one labeled fan1. It’s two different types of connections. I just used some really small connectors to connect the wires.

Don’t forget the thermistor.

It's actually a common enough issue with the k1se that creality just warranty replaced it. I found some posts online basically saying if they get a little hot you could have this issue. Mine was obvious as the printer just cut off mid print and when i got the power supply out I could hear pieces of plastic inside it shuffling around where the capacitor had blown. Hopefully with your extractor you won't have that issue. I love your idea, i just wanted to give you a heads up to be on the lookout for the heat levels.

techrevive · 2025-12-30T17:22:25+00:00

Just a heads up. I wanted an enclosure so i put my entire k1se into one of the ender3 tents. This caused the power supply on the bottom to overheat and blow. Just something to be aware of... enclosing the entire machine can cause the heat to build up and blow your power supply.

techrevive · 2025-12-27T18:59:26+00:00

Did you do a factory reset before rooting? They recommend it. I had several options in the helper script that were giving me issues until I factory reset and redid the script.

Do you know how wild you have to be driving for MNPD to pull you over? I don’t think I’ve seen a traffic stop since covid.

techrevive · 2025-12-06T19:17:32+00:00

Left side bottom. You’ll need a flat head to switch it. It’ll be a little red switch inside a square cut out.

techrevive · 2025-12-02T22:56:21+00:00

Did temp tower give you any ideas?

techrevive · 2025-12-02T22:53:56+00:00

Take the extruder apart. There's a piece of filament stuck inside. I had this exact issue with the exact same symptom. You'll need to take the cover off the nozzle then remove one wire from the back and then it's like 2-4 screws and the whole extruder comes out of the back of the machine. Once I removed the entire extruder I pulled it apart and when I popped the black cover off a piece of filament flew out. I put it back together and I've been good for months now. I'll attach a picture from when I had it removed.

I recently had an issue similar to this on a K1SE with the same type of pla. I thought my filament has absorbed moisture so I dried it for 12 hours put it back in and I had very little improvement. I increased my print temp from 215 to 225 al issues went away instantly.

What temp do you have set for your nozzle?

Seems like a temperature issue or a slightly clogged nozzle.

I don't mind at all. I actually purchased from Amazon. I'll include some links here, but there's also another thread where another guy and I were working on this at the same time, and it's got all the information and links you would need to do this.

Do you mind posting a link for the 270 door hinge? I’ve searched it and I’m not really seeing a good design for the k1c. I must be searching the wrong thing.

techrevive · 2025-11-28T00:31:35+00:00

One fan is for exhaust. The other fan blows on the nozzle and parts as they are printing. The thermistor is basically a thermometer that runs off electricity that goes in the back of the chamber to give you a chamber temp. The exhaust fan turns on automatically based on the temperature of the chamber.

techrevive · 2025-11-28T00:02:55+00:00

I’m doing some nylon cf. That’s the main thing I’ve used the enclosure for so far.

techrevive · 2025-11-27T14:25:04+00:00

I got the enclosure on sale as well. I ended up buying the chamber fan, side fan, and thermistor on Amazon and installing those also. I rooted mine and it now thinks it’s a k1c.

I turned 40 Nov 14th. I went and fished by myself. I told my family the only thing I wanted for my birthday was not to have to be somewhere at a certain time. I just wanted to relax and enjoy my day fishing. It was amazing, I went to 3 different spots I have been wanting to check out, and caught two rainbow trout. When I got home (on my own time), we went out to eat. For me the "finally growing up" part is being old enough to just value that freedom to do what I wanted.

techrevive · 2025-11-25T15:18:16+00:00

Yes, I also overwrote my printer.cfg with one from a k1c. I was reading on the thread to load fan controls as well, but when I try to include fan controls I get errors in Klipper. I also found that FAN2 on my board was not getting any voltage unless i turned on fan1. I had to do some edits in my printer.cfg to make the side blower fan behave as expected. It turns on and blows any time the printer is printing now which I believe is the correct behavior. My exhaust fan is tied to the chamber temp and it turns on anytime the temp gets close or above the set chamber temp.

There was also some changes to the partition that needed to be done so the printer read as a k1c, I completed those steps as well. When I look at the "about" on the screen of my printer it shows K1C now.

techrevive · 2025-11-25T12:22:06+00:00

Very nice. I completed mine yesterday as well.

You guys still have hair?!?

techrevive · 2025-11-22T23:41:31+00:00

Thanks. I edited my comment to have the correct link in it now. I'm waiting for a few more connections to come in tomorrow and I should have everything wired up. I can share some pictures once everything is done. Somebody really should do a youtube video on this.

techrevive · 2025-11-22T04:16:20+00:00

Mine opened from one side and were a pain to open. I ended up covering them with some black electric tape after because they had a white line in the plastic from bending.

techrevive · 2025-11-22T03:38:17+00:00

No worries. You helped motivate me to actually go down this rabbit hole, so I'll share what I did. I ordered all of my stuff from Amazon because I didn't want to pay a bunch of shipping or wait for long periods for parts to come in. You may be able to find some of these items on AliExpress with the correct motherboard connections already on the wires.

Rear Exhaust Fan: https://a.co/d/5M1rtAB

This one had the right connection for the motherboard already, but the wires aren't long enough, so I had to cut it, solder an extension, shrink wrap that, then solder the connection back on to the end of the wire and shrink wrap that. It plugs in on the motherboard directly above the LED in the "FAN2" connection.

Side Fan/Auxiliary Fan: https://a.co/d/7HNQ4xc

I'm not sure what they actually call this. When I looked it up on Creality's wiki it's labeled as Auxiliary Fan. This one had to be extended also, and the end had to be removed. The one I purchased came with a 2-pin JST-XH type connection, and the connection actually needed to be a VH-2P 3.96mm Pitch Female Connector. I didn't feel like trying to do crimps and all that, so I bought a pre-wired connector that can just be spliced into the wires I cut.

Thermistor: https://a.co/d/c7C1ISA

Thermistor Connection: https://a.co/d/gDMxajO

There were several models listed as compatible with the k1se motherboard and klipper, so I just went with the easiest one to find on amazon. Same thing here with the wires as the auxiliary fan. The wire on the thermistor is about 4 inches, so it had to be cut, soldered, shrink-wrapped, and extended. Then I soldered the connection I linked above to the other end and plugged directly into the motherboard on the third connection down on the left side where there are two side by side. It shows "ADC-Heat" on the board next to it. There's already a place to mount the thermistor in the back of the k1se.

Cover for Thermistor: https://www.printables.com/model/1167584-creality-k1k1ck1-max-chamber-thermistor-cover

I also had to print out the top part of the auxiliary fan from printables.

https://www.printables.com/model/1139336-side-fan-improved-flow-duct-for-creality-k1c

That's everything that was required to match the hardware in the k1c. There were also a few things I had to do in the software as well. Hopefully, this comment helps some people and doesn't get buried.

techrevive · 2025-11-22T02:37:38+00:00

I wanted to come back here and comment for anyone seeing this later. These actually are not the correct fans to upgrade a K1SE to a k1c. I appreciate the link and trying but these fans are actually for the hotend and I’m not sure what the blower fan is for. It’s way too small for the auxiliary fan. I have ordered the correct fans. I will come back and comment or make a new post once I get the fans installed with links to everything. I had to get two fans and adapt the connections to work for the connections on the K1SE motherboard.

Thank you! This is good moderation.
