What materials can the K1C print?
This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 300 °C, the bed 100 °C, and the machine is enclosed with a direct-drive extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.
In short: it prints PLA, PETG, TPU (flexible), ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) without a fight.
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the K1C prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | Yes | Yes. With a nozzle up to 300 °C and a bed up to 100 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs. |
| TPU (flexible) | Yes | Yes. It has a direct-drive extruder, ideal for flexibles; prints TPU well (go slow). |
| ABS | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 300 °C and an enclosure: it contains ABS's warping and fumes. |
| ASA | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 300 °C and an enclosure: it contains ASA's warping and fumes. |
| Nylon (PA) | Yes | Yes. It reaches 300 °C and is enclosed: it prints Nylon (dry it well first). For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 300 °C and an enclosure: suitable for PC. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
