Did you get K1, K1C, K1 max or something else? Can you link to the parts you got/show their photos ?

You would think that would be the solution, but no - printer registers itself as a K1, no C or Max or anything else. That's why I'm so confused.

Neither of these work with my machine.
So is your printer using unicorn nozzles (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHOujRQ)? I believe K1C and maybe some newer builds of K1/Max came with those. I have switched to CHCB-OT (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EJhmisG) it has a good flow and easy to find nozzles (MK8).
Link doesn't work 😞
It is using unicorn nozzles, yes, but I didn't know that until I needed to replace them. Thankfully, I was still within the return window for the $40 set I bought just in case. But shouldn't I be able to tell which parts I need before they get here? How do I know what to buy going forward? What if I get something incompatible and can't return it?
Can you really blame a company for not helping with your issues caused by 3rd party unoriginal parts?
But regarding parts not matching despite 3rd party sellers claiming they do, it is quite common for these cheap Chinese printer manufacturers to continuously develop products (both in terms of functionality and production price optimization) with no publically available official versioning to distinguish them.
They're Creality though?
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.
