Welcome to the optimized Klipper configuration for the Creality K1C 3D printer.
This setup enhance your printing experience by reducing noise and heat output, making your printer more suitable for home environments — without compromising speed or performance.
-
Quiet. Tuned stepper motor settings
Carefully tuned motor parameters reduce overall printer noise from 50 dB to 35 dB, significantly improving comfort for home or office use. -
Reduced Heat
By lowering the current power to the X, Y, Z, and E stepper motors, this configuration minimizes system heat. Despite the reduction in power, there is no loss in speed or precision, ensuring reliable and high-quality prints. -
Quiet fan PWM profiles
Custom PWM settings for part and hotend cooling fans allow for quieter airflow without sacrificing cooling efficiency. This further reduces acoustic noise during both idle and active printing phases. -
Refined Motion Settings
Motion system parameters are tuned to ensure smooth, responsive movement with minimal resonance or vibration.
