 +====== K1 Motor Current reduction ======
 +
 +The Creality K1 printers((https://3dprintbeginner.com/creality-k1-review-corexy-for-tinkerers/)) are overheating the extruder motors because the motor current are by default too high causing excessive motor heat during long print jobs.
 +
 +In order to access the extruder motor current parameters you need to have a rooted setup. The most comprehensive easy to use method to get this set up can be found here: [[https://guilouz.github.io/Creality-Helper-Script-Wiki/firmwares/install-and-update-rooted-firmware-k1/#enable-root-access|enable root access]]

 +
 +In the Klipper environment select the config menu ''{}'' on the left and select the ''printer.cfg'' file.

 +Edit ''line 205'' to look like ''line 206''. <wrap hi>Select save and restart</wrap>.

 +The extruder motor current is now reduced and the motor should run substantially cooler.
