Creality K1 Series CFS Upgrade Accessory Kit – Unlock Multicolor 3D Printing Potential
The Creality K1 Series CFS Upgrade Accessory Kit is a game-changing enhancement designed to bring multicolor capabilities to your existing Creality K1 Series 3D printer. This intelligent, feature-rich upgrade kit empowers users to print with up to four different filaments seamlessly, combining vibrant colors, improved material control, and high efficiency into one compact system. Whether you’re a hobbyist, prototyping engineer, or professional designer, this upgrade transforms your printer into a multicolor powerhouse.
Multicolor Printing for the Next Generation of Creators
At the heart of the CFS Upgrade Kit lies its multicolor printing capability. By enabling the use of up to four filaments, users can produce visually stunning, multi-hued models with ease. This enhancement is not just about aesthetics—different filament types can be utilized for mechanical parts, functional prototyping, and hybrid-material prints. From vibrant figurines to high-performance tools, the creative possibilities are endless.
Complete Package with All Necessary Installation Accessories
The CFS (Colorful Filament System) kit includes everything you need to set up multicolor printing on your K1, K1 Max, K1C, or K1 SE (only those with an integrated nozzle). Users can rest assured knowing they are receiving a full package that includes:
- The CFS module
- Dedicated extruder
- RFID system
- Cutter & run-out sensor
- Storage compartment for 4 filament rolls
- Humidity and temperature control system
- Installation tools
- USB drive with firmware upgrade
Important Note: The CFS is not compatible with split-type nozzles. An integrated nozzle hotend must be used for full functionality.
Integrated RFID and Smart Filament Management
A standout feature of the CFS kit is its automatic RFID system, which recognizes the type and color of each filament. This allows for auto-selection and real-time filament switching during prints. The dedicated extruder also includes a built-in cutter and run-out sensor, ensuring precise filament changes and eliminating print interruptions.
This intelligent setup not only enhances multicolor print accuracy but also optimizes print workflow with minimal manual intervention.
Temperature and Humidity Controlled Storage Compartment
Proper filament storage is essential for consistent 3D print quality. The CFS module features a dedicated storage bay for four filament spools, equipped with a temperature and humidity control system. This ensures that all filaments remain in optimal condition throughout your printing session, preventing issues such as moisture absorption, filament brittleness, and inconsistent extrusion.
Quick Firmware Integration and Usage Tips
To make full use of the CFS upgrade, Creality provides a USB drive with the latest version of Creality OS. Installation is simple and further updates can be installed via the OTA (Over-the-Air) feature.
Important usage tips:
- When CFS is in use, the build volume is reduced to 220 × 215 × 250 mm for K1/K1C/K1 SE and 300 × 295 × 300 mm for K1 Max.
- The USB port is used for the CFS module during operation and will be occupied.
- The PTFE tube must be aligned vertically, which may prevent the top cover from closing fully.
Improper alignment can cause filament feeding issues or tube friction, so careful installation is essential.
Compatible Models
The CFS Upgrade Kit is compatible with the following printers:
- Creality K1
- Creality K1 Max
- Creality K1C
- Creality K1 SE (with integrated nozzle only)
If you have a printer with a split-type nozzle, you'll need to upgrade to an integrated nozzle hotend before using the CFS module.
