Creality K1 — PLA Matte

⚙ Creality K1 Tested 2025
4/5
Notes
Matte PLA uses the same profile as standard PLA. Run 5°C hotter than your PLA baseline for better layer adhesion. Most matte brands have matte additive that slightly affects flow.
Tips
Calibrate flow rate — matte PLA often under-extrudes at standard PLA settings. Try 100-102% flow.
