Buying call

Buy the K1C if you want an enclosed printer that handles carbon-fiber filaments: early reviews praised its CoreXY speed, enclosure, solid build, Klipper firmware and refined AI camera. Skip it if you want easy filament loading, because the filament path is poor. It needs glue stick for adhesion, and print quality drops at top speeds. A 2025 refresh is listed separately.
