Replace your factory cable chain on the Creality K1 with raw nylon filament just like the Voron guys! I used three piece but you may be able to use less. This uses the factory screw on the extruder assembly and provides a place to zip tie the filament to relive stress on the cable itself. It does work with on the K1 with the lid on and with printed lid riser. It should work as good on the K1 Max but not confirmed. 

Input shaper did see a slight improvement but no significant improvement in print quality. Primarily done so you don't hear the chain hitting the frame in the back left corner and is out of your way for printer service!

I suggest printing in anything other than PLA and high wall count due to high chamber temps when the lid is on.

I added a new “updated” file to be better optimized and allow rotation on the screw without any sanding or modification required.
