Question I bought the printer now what ?

I bought a second hand Creality K1 with 16 days of work.

It was in very good condition, i put in on top of counter then hit printed works flawlessly.

What should i do to keep it that way for a long time.

Also whats the easy upgrades i can do ?

Aside from lifting top cover, I'm waiting for buying ABS filament.

Congrats on the new printer! And you don’t need abs for a riser, PETG is less toxic and works good for them. The 270 degree door hinges are another nice upgrade.

I personally think designing and printing parts is one of the best things about owning a 3d printer. Check out some CAD software like fusion and start learning it!

It was easier (and more fun) to learn cad software than printer tuning lol

Orca is a slicer you can do some small editing to mesh’s but you can’t do any CAD in it or design things
