Buying call

Buy the K1 if you want an affordable enclosed printer with good speed: reviewers praised its CoreXY speed, closed frame for a wide range of filaments, minimal setup and accurate results. Skip it if you want multicolor printing, because it's single-filament. Some tall prints need glue, the spool holder and power switch are awkwardly placed, and the AI camera costs extra.
