My CR-10's had a good run but I made a slight upgrade today

Got it set up and printed a little trinket I'd made for my wife earlier, that on the CR-10 printed in about 27 minutes; took a flat 13 on the K1 and that was with a very conservative 7500 mm/min. I'm excited to see what this can push up to!

Ah, yes - the Cartesian to CoreXY swap. At a certain point you might want to consider a bigger nozzle. Yeah, physically moving faster is nice, but being able to go from say 4 walls to 2, while keeping the same wall thickness and without a time hit, is great.

Why this over a Bambu?

Not OP, but I chose not to go Bambu because of the closed ecosystem. I like that they're enabling custom firmware now, but they presented as very closed and proprietary, including network printing going through their cloud. While I'm not printing anything sensitive, I could see that being a concern for some, especially if you're designing your own prints. I get that they're the turnkey solution that "just works" out of the box, but so do my Qidi X-Plus 3 printers, and I can SSH into them if I want.
- I've got a Qidi Smart3 and it's made me enjoy 3D printing again!
  
  I've got 3 other printers and they're such a chore, but the Qidi is just a little powerhouse that works fantastically. Qidi needs to come out with competition for the Bambu AMS and they'd have more of my money in a heartbeat.
- I think the choice comes down to what one values more, the AMS or open firmware. I think the AMS is a fantastic addition, not for multi-color printing, but as a convenient and dry storage solution. All cloud features can be disabled, it perfectly works in the local network including live camera feed. You only loose access to the app, which I didn't want to install to my all foss phone anyway.
  
  The X1 series uses an application processor with linux under the hood, and it was just a matter of time before it got jailbroken. The P1 series on the other hand uses some microcontroller, which can be locked down much better (and thus is not compatible with the new "open" firmware). I'm exited to see where this goes, and will definitely give up my guarantee in exchange for rooting my printer.
There was a good sale at Micro Center and I've really enjoyed my Creality CR-10 and that was enough to nudge me into the K1 Max.
- What did you end up paying?
  
  Outside of price, what features are you getting(or not getting)with this?
  
  I am considering a bamboo 5o replace my artillery X1 and MakerBot x2. I love both my printers, but I'm sick of being a 3D printing engineer and just want to print something out I created.

I am a FOSS bot. Check my README: https://github.com/db0/lemmy-tagginator/blob/main/README.md

Interesting idea trying to integrate Mastodon and Lemmy. From the readme:

This is a simple script that monitors specific Lemmy communities and attempts to #hashtag new posts so that they are discoverable in microblogging services like mastodon.

By integrating hashtags, lemmy posts will be discoverable by those following those tags in microblogging which could lead them to reply, boost etc, something which will appear as new comments in lemmy. Since microblogging fediverse has an order of magnitude more users than lemmy does, the hope is that this will allow to kickstart a lot of more niche communities and deepen the interaction between the two mediums.

I'm all for it, even if it confuses the shit out of me that any Fediverse platform user can read and comment here from a platform with an entirely different purpose.
