The Creality K1 Max has a large enclosed chamber — and that large volume makes it even harder to heat evenly without active help. Cold air causes warping and layer separation with ABS, PA, and PC. iHeater Kit 200W provides the consistent chamber heat these materials need, even across the bigger build area. Connects to the K1 Max via USB as Klipper external MCU, or via Wi-Fi through iHeater-Link. Trigger mode starts automatically with the bed. Two firmware options: Standalone (buttons + LED) or Klipper integration.
iHeater Kit is a DIY bundle for assembling an active heated chamber system for a 3D printer. It helps maintain stable temperature inside a closed enclosure when printing engineering plastics: ABS, ASA, PA, PC and other materials sensitive to print conditions. The bundle can work with Klipper, Bambu Lab, autonomous firmware, and can be controlled through an app or web portal.
When printing engineering plastics, not only nozzle and bed temperature matter. If the chamber stays cold or the temperature inside the printer is unstable, the part can layer separate, deform, lift off the bed or lose strength between layers. Active chamber heating helps create more stable conditions for printing ABS, ASA, PA, PC and other materials that need a warm enclosed environment.
Assemble iHeater Kit and install it inside the closed enclosure of your 3D printer according to the instructions.
Use iHeater with Klipper, Bambu Lab, standalone firmware, app or web portal.
The system helps maintain chamber temperature and creates more stable conditions for engineering plastics.

Forum, Discord and Telegram for questions, user experience and installation examples.
The project is maintained by the author: documentation improves, updates come out and new materials appear for the community.
Suitable for closed FDM printers or printers with a self-made chamber. Important that there's space inside for safe installation.
Yes. The kit can work autonomously and can also be controlled through an app or web portal.
Control is done through autonomous firmware, mqtt connection with the printer, app or iDryer web portal.
All necessary components for assembling an active chamber heating system. Printed housing parts are not included.
It's a DIY kit for self-assembly. There's documentation and community support for installation.
Choose 110V or 220V for your electrical network voltage and region. If in doubt — better check before ordering.

After purchase, you're not left alone with the kit: iHeater Kit has documentation, firmware, instructions and community support.
Before purchasing, make sure that this information is sufficient for assembly, flashing and launching the device.
iHeater Kit uses multiple protection levels: board fuse, thermal cutoff and firmware temperature control. This helps shut off heating in case of malfunction.
