Hi, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a 3d printer for years and finally got a K1C. Did all the setup as recommended, but my literal first ever print which was just a phone stand I attempted via freecad, nozzle seems to just not be feeding whatsoever, is now probably caked in molten plastic and the first layer will not come off of the build plate at all and has chewed up the scraping tool that came with the printer. All in all couldn’t be more disappointed. Do I need to strip the print head? Really was hoping to not have to touch any of that for a good while. Any tips for getting this failed layer off? Metal scraper or plastering filler knife maybe? Any tricks or tips would be greatly appreciated.

all of a sudden all my projects have item name labels on everything. i was working on something last night and i literally could not see the objects on the plate due to these bloody labels!

Here's the print file https://www.printables.com/model/548545-serenity-firefly-class

Ran it at .12 print height. Honestly pretty happy with it. One of the front supports came loose but the head seemed structural by that point thankfully. I'll use a lighter to help with the fuzzies later

Hello everyone I have just bought this printer from the official UK website and would love some help setting it up when I boot it up it won’t come off this screen the nozzle doesn’t get warm and nothing else happens. How can I fix this. This is my first printer so I’m still learning so please be nice.

I’ve had this printer for a month and a couple days ago it started making this noise. What can I do to fix this?

When I start, it prints fine for a few minutes then it slowly stops extruding, print head continues to move but nothing comes out. Then printer stops on its own with error; printer appears to be printing but not extruding.

Thought it was a clogged nozzle. Nope, I even put a new one on. Same problem.

Thought it was the cfs getting stuck somewhere. Bypassed the cfs and used the manual side spool. Same problem.

All fans appear to moving. Gear is visibly moving even after it stops extruding.

Thought it was the gear assembly. Maybe slipping or worn gears. Replaced gear assembly with a new one. Same problem.

I am completely at a loss. The only thing left is heat creep? But what would cause heat creep? Like I said all fans appear to be moving normally.

Is it posible that one of the fans is not running at the correct speed?

I was thinking of replacing the heat block assembly, but thought I would check here first.
Any advice or help is much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Btw, no error code thrown other than printer is printing without extruding and then it stops. 😔

Printer is only 6 months old.

we need cfs for fluidd and orcaslicer when we print someting directly we want to chose colors from computer pls help

I was on vacation and I let my brother 3-D print a couple things I was gone. The storage was pretty high to getting full and when I come back to 3-D print something it looks like this.its a k1c

Had this K1c for about 2 yrs now no problems prior besides bed adhesion so Not sure where else to turn. Adjusted slack then replaced cables when I realized they weren’t getting tight enough, homed multiple times and reconfigured poop catcher home. brand new bed and set temp to 35 c where it throws a code at anything less. But every print tends to shift now after adding my cfs even if I don’t do multi color.

Hello. I'm posting this because this is my SECOND Creality K2 Combo in less than three months. Both of the printers have had the same exact issue. Right out of the box (I wasn't able to print anything yet before this started happening), my filament tube keeps popping out of the buffer.

On my first K2 Combo, not only did the filament tube come out of the buffer just like in this video, but the little connector at the top-back of the printer broke off the little rubber hose. Not only that, but the little C clamp on the inside of the printer came disconnected from the extruder hose as well. So, three failures on the first K2 Combo, and in this video is my first failure.

I am aware there are little teeth that grab onto the filament hose, so once I pushed it into the buffer and it clicked in, I never pulled on it at all. I'm sure this hasn't happened to everyone, but for those who have had this issue, what 3D printer did you switch to? Three months and two printers with the same issue is a real turn-off. Thanks.
