K1C failed on day one, got a replacement — keep it or switch to an A1?

New K1C. Fourth print had heavy stringing, Fifth stopped extruding partway through. Clicking, then nothing.

Tried: 240°C retract/extrude, removed the extruder and cleared stuck filament, cleaning needle passed freely through the nozzle. After reassembly it ticked but wouldn't feed. Tested the extruder off the printer — turned the gears by hand with a short piece of filament and it gripped and fed fine. Mounted back on the printer, ticking again. Never fed properly after that.

Room has no AC and I ran it fully enclosed.

Amazon sent a replacement, still boxed. Trying to decide whether to open it or refund and get an A1.

  • If you've owned both, which held up better day to day?
