Creality K1 / K1C / K1 Max Cable Chain Lowering Kit

Instead of printing oversized lid risers, this kit solves the actual geometry problems of the Creality K1 series:

1. Front-Right Homing Collision: The stock cable chain hits the top lid during the homing sequence in the front-right corner.

2. Left-Side Bed Leveling Clearance: The stock chain radius rubs against the left side of the lid during auto bed-leveling.

3. PTFE Tube Pinching: Lack of vertical clearance between the cable chain and the lid restricts natural PTFE movement.

This Lowering Kit drops the entire chain assembly to create optimal headroom, eliminating collisions and the need for a lid riser.

Included Components

1. Lowered PTFE Passthrough & Cable Chain Lid Mount

• Serves as both a PTFE lid passthrough and the rear mounting point for the cable chain, lowered to match the toolhead mount height.

• Requires 2x M3 brass threaded inserts.

• Assembly Tip: Pass the mounting screws through the mounting holes before heat-pressing the M3 inserts—inserting the screws afterward can be difficult due to tight clearance.

2. Lowered Shortened Toolhead Cable Chain Mount

• Optimized Clearance: Reduces the mount length from 25 mm to 17 mm (8 mm shorter), tightening the bend radius for maximum clearance on the left side of the lid.

• Collision Prevention: Features an eccentric pivot that actively forces the cable chain to rotate forward, avoiding collisions during bed leveling.

• Secure Mounting: The chain locks onto the lower pin and is clamped securely from above using a single M3 screw.

• Included Spacer: Includes a custom lowered spacer designed specifically for this mount height so stock screw retain proper thread engagement.

3. Raised Anti-Binding Loose-Fit Bowden Clips

• Uses an adapted, raised profile to match the new vertical spacing between the lowered chain and the toolhead entry. (Using just 2 clips yields optimal results).

• Anti-Binding Geometry: Guides the PTFE tube in a smooth, unconstrained curve between the toolhead and the cable chain to eliminate filament drag.

• Loose-Fit Design: Holds the PTFE tube securely along the chain without squeezing or deforming the tube's outer diameter.
