Contemplating getting a K1 or K1C in the nearish future as it looks to be the most cost-effective core-XY platform that allows open-source firmware. All I've found are compensated reviews so far so, figured I'd see if anyone on Lemmy has a less biased experience.

Any thoughts on these or suggestions for alternatives. Would like to move away from bed-slingers.

I hadn't heard of it and just briefly browsed their page and I notice they don't even mention that it's CoreXY, which is odd. They really seem to want to highlight that it has dual motors on the Z screws and dual ABL sensors though.

The current price of $469 is pretty good. That's what I paid for my Sidewinder X2 bed slinger several years ago.
