How to connect a Creality K1 Max to 3DPrinterOS

  1. Firmware Update

  • Update the Firmware to version 1.3.2.1 or later.

  • Click upgrade, wait for the upgrade to complete, and the printer will automatically restart after the upgrade is finished.

  • Click on Settings > Self-Check > check Input Shaping and Bed Leveling, and click Start Detection.

2. Enable Root

If root access is required, you must agree to the disclaimer; otherwise, the machine will not enable SSH services.

Root access may lead to malfunctions in machine-related functions; please use it with caution.

After rooting, K1 Max supports rolling back to version V1.3.1.19.

3. After rooting

  • Open your terminal and enter the following command:

ssh root@<printer-ip>

  • When prompted, enter the default password:

creality_2023

  • Once connected to the printer, run these commands:

cd /usr/data

python3 -c "import urllib.request; urllib.request.urlretrieve('https://builds.3dprinteros.com/install-3dprinteros.sh', 'install-3dprinteros.sh')"

  • The setup will prompt:

Detected Creality K1 Series. Do you want to proceed with the specific Creality K1 installation? [Y/n]:

  • Press Enter.

  • The setup will then prompt:

Moonraker not detected! Please install it before using 3DPrinterOS.

Install Moonraker? [Y/n]:

  • Press Enter.

4. After installation

  • You will be asked for credentials. Log in with your 3DPrinterOS account:

Your 3DPrinterOS account email:

Enter your email.

Your 3DPrinterOS password:

Enter your password.

5. Final Steps

  • Open a browser and navigate to:

<printerIP>:8008

  • Log in with your 3DPrinterOS credentials.

Your printer should be detected. You will only need to select the printer type as K1 Max.
