Creality CFS 4 Filament Dispenser Accessory Installation Kit for K1 Series Printers

Creality CFS 4-Filament Dispenser Installation Kit for K1 Series Printers

Transform your Creality K1 Series 3D printer into a full multicolour powerhouse with the Creality CFS Upgrade Installation Kit. This official hardware kit provides all the mechanical and electronic components required to integrate the Creality CFS Filament System with your K1-series printer, enabling automatic multi-filament printing, colour changes, and smart material management.

This kit is designed specifically for users who already own or plan to purchase a Creality CFS Filament System. It upgrades your printer’s extrusion and filament handling system so it can communicate, feed, cut, and swap filaments automatically during printing.

Important: This kit does not include the CFS Filament System itself. It only includes the hardware needed to install and operate a CFS on compatible K1 printers.

Compatible Printers

• Creality K1

• Creality K1 Max

• Creality K1C

• Creality K1 SE

What This Upgrade Does

Once installed together with a Creality CFS unit, your K1-series printer can:

• Print in up to 4 colours or materials at once

• Automatically change filament during a print

• Use RFID-enabled Creality filament for auto-recognition

• Perform clean filament cuts and purges between colours

• Support up to 16 colours when multiple CFS units are connected

This turns your K1 into a true multi-material and multicolour printing system comparable to Creality’s latest K2 platform.

Why This Upgrade Is Required

K1 printers were not originally designed to handle automated filament switching. This kit replaces and upgrades key components so the printer can:

• Cut filament cleanly

• Detect filament run-out

• Communicate with the CFS

• Guide and manage multiple filament paths

• Purge and wipe during colour changes

A new extruder assembly with an integrated cutter and sensor is included, which is essential for reliable multicolour printing.

Included Components

The Creality CFS Upgrade Kit includes everything required to mechanically and electrically adapt your printer for CFS use:

• New upgraded extruder assembly with cutter and filament sensor

• Extruder motor cover

• Power adapter

• USB and 485 communication cable

• Chain cable mount

• Z-axis motor cover

• PTFE (Teflon) tube

• Purge chute

• Tube coupler

• Two chute mounts

• Adhesive tape

• Two cutter impact blocks

• USB drive (firmware)

• Nozzle wiper

• USB port stiffener

• After-sales service card

• Two anti-debris covers

• Wrench

• Two lead screw covers

• Quick installation guide

Firmware & Installation Notes

• The printer must be updated to Creality OS using the included USB drive before using the CFS system

• After the initial update, future updates can be done via OTA

• The USB port remains functional but is used while multicolour printing is active

• The PTFE tube is routed vertically and may prevent the top cover from fully closing

Build Volume Changes

When the CFS upgrade is installed:

• K1 / K1C / K1 SE build volume becomes 220 × 215 × 250 mm

• K1 Max build volume becomes 300 × 295 × 300 mm

If you continue using the stock rear spool holder, the build volume remains unchanged.

Why Choose the Creality CFS Upgrade Kit

This kit is the official, factory-designed solution for enabling multicolour printing on K1-series printers. It ensures:

• Proper filament cutting and purging

• Reliable colour changes

• Full compatibility with Creality’s smart filament system

• Long-term firmware and hardware support

If you own a K1, K1 Max, K1C, or K1 SE and want to move into multicolour, multi-material, and smart filament printing, this upgrade is the essential hardware foundation.
