Creality K1 Max
Mid-range
300 mm cubed behind an enclosure for mid-range money, with LiDAR and a camera checking the first layer and a hardened nozzle as standard. For large PETG and ABS parts on a budget it remains one of the cheapest enclosed machines at this volume.
A reviewer metered it between 72 and 80 dB at full speed, which puts it out of any shared room, and it ships with no filtration at all unless the carbon cartridge is bought separately. The enclosure is passive, so the PA and PC on the compatibility list run at the edge of what an unheated chamber can hold. It is also the older generation now sitting beside the K2 line.
Best at: Enclosed volume at a price the newer machines do not match.
Worst at: Noise, and no filtration in the box.
