Everything was going great until I had to replace some parts. The nozzles I bought as backup? They're supposed to be for the K1 but they didn't fit. That's how I found out I'll need nozzles that cost $20 each, or more.

The hotend kit from Amazon said K1 but the JSTs don't match. Pulled the wires to swap between the old part and the new one, and the wires don't fit either.

Nothing I'm buying for a K1 actually fits my machine. Creality refuses to answer me or help.

Anyone know what's happening here?

I'm editing to add that the parts I'm buying are official Creality parts.

Pretty sure creality is a Chinese based company

I'm just saying, it's not like I'm buying 3rd party parts. These are direct from Creality.
