Creality K1 Max Riser + Top Spool Holder & Runout Sensor + Filament Guide (Glass Plate)

The Ultimate K1 Max Top-Upgrade

• Reallocate Filament Runout Sensor to the outside
• Print without glass-plate and runout-sensor for brittle materials
• Supports up to 5kg spools
• Reduces drag inside the PTFE Tube 
• Only 2 M3 screws + Nuts required, re-uses all original parts

Build Guide
====  Required materials ==== 

• 2x M3*30 Screws
• 2x M3 Nut

====  Printing ==== 

• We highly reccomend printing the whole assembly (or at least the back and back corners) in ABS, or another heat-resistant material: Heat rises, and quickly deforms the PLA once the chamber reaches above 50°C, especially the back where the filament is pulled from.
• We used 20% infill, altough higher infill might be needed on the rods for heavier filament, ours worked fine for 2kg so far

==== Assembly ==== 

1. Remove the Runout-Sensor with it's PTFE-Tube
   • On our K1-Max's the connector to the sensor was glued, we used the plyers to carefully remove the sticky layer: It helps if you do this right after a print so it's softened up.
2. CAREFULLY cut the zip-tie of the runout-sensor-cable, and remove the cover on the top right cable-canal to pull the runout-sensor-cable out the right cable-canal
3. Remove the PTFE-Tube running out the Back
4. In some prints, the two filament-holes on the back-piece are not big enough:
   We used the hex-key to carefully widen the hole to the ~2mm it needs so that filament can pass through easely
5. Run the PTFE-Tube with runout-sensor through the Top-Hole of the Back-Piece
6. Attach the Runout-Sensor using the M3-Screws & Nuts. The grip on the PTFE-Tube is pretty tight, so if no screws are available, some tape should also do the trick.
7. Attach the Outside-PTFE-Tube to the guide on the back
8. Attach the four corners
9. carefully side in the back, front and side pieces
   • When attaching the back-piece, make sure not to forget the cable and attach it to the runout-sensor
10. Recalibrate the K1 Max so that it gets used to it's new weight
