I tested and reviewed the Kingroon KLP1, a new budget Core XY FDM 3D Printer. This little beast is a powerhouse for the price of only $379. It's an all-metal build that has everything you could pretty much want to get started! With that said there are a few things you should be aware of...

    Looks like this would be a gem of a printer after they address what you pointed out in your review. Thanks for the info!

    Nice review. I looked at the KLP1 a while ago, but there were so many negative reviews that I decided to buy the Ender 5 S1 as it was on sale. It is not as fast, but faster than my Ender 3 Pro that is heavily modified. It also prints better than my Ender 3. I agree with your opinion on the dark colored enclosure panels. The enclosure on my Ender 5 S1 is the same way. I would much prefer clear panels. Everytime I print something I have to use a flashlight to see what is happening. It definitely needs some led lighting. The top of the KLP1 cover though should be replaced with some sort of acrylic box to give the cables more room. It seems like the people who design the enclosures have never actually used a 3D printer or they would not have design it like that. Still though is a good review of the Kingroon KLP1 unlike the other reviews so hopefully it is getting better and will continue to improve. Maybe in a year or so if they make significant changes I might actually want to buy one. Right now though if I was going to buy one of these fast 3d printers I would probably choose the Flashforge Adventurer M5. But I don't really need that kind of speed so I will probably wait a year or two.
  • @JamesTenniswood
    This makes me excited for someone like elegoo to make something similar
  • one of the factors that needs to be considered to be an "ender 3" type of 3D printer is it's price and accesability on third world country, one of the main reasons Creality still sells the original model of the Ender 3 is because of it's popularity on Latinamerica. Other Kingroon machines like the KP5L cost $12,000 pesos on México that on USD is $680.
  • @skaltura
    Looks like it may have RJ45 connector too ... This is interesting machine and these all can be fixed fairly quick. I guess community will get the profiles sorted out fairly quickly.
  • @vincentbrun
    I did the pressure calibration correctly I think, and I print with the top open not to have problems with filament feeding :)
  • @vincentbrun
    hello, I use 1kg Kingroon filament bobine, and have failures during printing very often... do you have ideas how to improve? I have failures with standard test file on the usb.... do you have ideas? maybe I wrong calibration something? thanks for help
  • @KiR_3d
    Hi! The things you've describe is a typical "Chinese 3d printer" :)) Never ending story! PS. OK, one big difference: Klipper inside.
  • @ThisisDD
    Adventurer 5M for $299 from Flash Forge is hard to deny...
  • @anthonyrich1592
    You mentioned that Kingroon sent you a link to a blog post with more profiles on it. Is that something you can share?
  • @IbrahemAlbanawi
    This printer is actually a really good I'm planning to buy a corexy 3D printer and this might be the one and I'm sure going to spend lots of time tinkering with it and modifying it like my Ender 3 Pro which is now the best printer and all it needed was a new mainboard from btt and the sprite extruder and the creailty CR-Touch and it's brilliant I hope this one is good too
  • @SirTools
    I've had the KLP1 here for a week now and "software" issues is terrible. Over time I'm sure things will get fixed or updated, but the software ruins the machine. Support it with good software and you'd have a beast of a machine, what a shame.
  • @CrudelyMade
    it's a quick copy/paste of the crealty k1 with a couple of cosmetic tweaks, which had the exact same lid issue.
  • @rajgill7576
    Hows this vs bambu a1 mini? I have the bambu preordered with the ams lite. Edit: seems slower, and lower quality, and im not a fan of tinkering
