I upgraded my Creality K1 Max to a Manta M5P (check out my M5P mount here) and switched the screen to a BTT HDMI 5. I created this mount because there wasn't any out there. The .3mf has OrcaSlicer settings for a K1 Max.
Features
- No heat inserts needed
- Leaves the minimum amount of clearance needed for the door to clear the screen.
- Maintains the aesthetic of the K1 Max exterior.
- The clips that hold the front plate onto the back are printable without supports and are sturdier than most others.
- The “flip screen” and volume buttons are easy to reach.
- All ports are available.

Thanks to @henlor for his K1 CAD model, I was able to extract the correct dimensions, saving me tons of time.
Happy printing!
