I am afraid that all this planning to add to the current offering CFS compatibility, is to keep sales on these units moving. If they came out this early and said no it's not compatible, people would wait and sales would dry up. I won't be surprised to find it's too cost prohibitive and won't be pursued. No matter to me because I am enjoying my K1's and Creality is the reason I got into 3d printing...Cheers!

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

That’s a very good point that I’d not considered

[@rupertsuzuki3376]

I purchased the K1 Max with the hope/expectation that multi colour could be added to it. Now that they released the K2, without knowing any cost of a CFS upgrade, I think it’s pointless as the difference in cost of the K2 vs the used value (I assume 40% of new +/-) plus whatever the cost of the CFS is probably not a lot of cash. Might as well just buy the K2.

It’s funny how people complain about companies “copying” Bambu labs…. This is competition and it’s only good for end users more competition breeds better products at cheaper prices. I’ve only been in 3D printing for about a year and I can’t believe how much it has moved forward in just that time

[@andreas.grundler]

I don't understand it either. Nothing would be worse than a single manufacturer dominating the market.

[@ladida26]

Here's the thing....its only jumped ahead so far so fast because of bambu...and creality is profiting from another company hard work

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

@ladida26 arguably Bambu are only here thanks to Creailty. One hand washes the other, no?

[@ladida26]

@TheRealSamPrentice wrong...prusa is pretty much the father of all of this....he expanded the reprap project to make 3d printing where it is now...creality copied his I3 3d printer style...as they copy everything else...its the Chinese thing to do

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

That’s very true

[@AdditiveAtom]

Great video Sam, keep the content coming. It does not make sense to me that CFS power and data cable comes out of the top of the 4 into 1 buffer. It looks like the lid of the CFS could even put strain on that cable and buffer port.

[@NonStick872]

Glad you're feeling better mate 🙏

[@3D4Everyone1]

Thanks for the info Sam, well explained as usual. Will be interesting to see how it goes compared to my Bambu, but im liking that all the manufacturers are coming out with color.. Bambu's response will be good im sure, but how long will it take them? Competition benefits us :)

[@andreas.grundler]

As for the poopshoot at the back I guess they do that because they have the space there. One option is to connect the poopshoot to a drawer underneath so that the waste can be removed directly. Many have built this into their shelves as a DIY solution. Manufacturers could integrate it directly into their printers similar to the drawer that Creality has built into the Falcon 2 Pro or they could offer it as an accessory.

[@DominicMuir]

Hey Sam. Great videos - I'm new to the channel but I will be subscribing! Out of interest, if you don't buy the CFS, where does the single roll of filament mount? Does it go on the back of the unit like the K1C? I couldn't see anywhere obvious for this.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

It’s on the back right hand side there is my other video which shows the mounting point :) thanks for the sub

[@couryrussell7653]

12:55 that retraction sounded pretty grindy. While you were there with the K2, did you notice a lot of grindy or other unsettling sounds coming from the machine? Any excessive vibrations or rattling?

[@TsukitaAki]

I'm really happy with my K1. I bought it directly in China so I guess it's the latest batch. I have no issue with it at all. Works out of the box, then I later restore the missing Klipper files that Creality removed because I want to send gcode directly from Orca Slicer and want the Fluidd interface. Overall pretty easy to use. Now that I heard that a multi-color printing solution from Creality is coming soon, I'm really excited that it's going to be compatible with my printer or even any printer.

[@Zachary3DPrints]

Great video about the Creality K2.

[@PantherTheCat]

How about the nozzle change? Have they made it a quick option? Replacing nozzles on the k1 is a pain

[@NoizieWorks]

Thanks brother, i appreciate your open honesty!

[@bane2000]

Has there been any info on how the ams/cfs system could work on the v3? I recently upgraded from v2 to v3 (early adopter!) but was on the fence with the BL A1. Couldn't wait so went for the simple route of v3. If I had waited I might have gone for the v3 plus, but since viewing your videos about the potential of cfs for the v3 I am quite excited about multi colour printing on what I have without buyers remorse kicking in now the A1 is back on sale

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

It’ll be similar to the Kobra 3

[@Gary-1180]

Can the cfs system be mounted remotely - like on a shelf above the printer? My concern is the amount of us who have to print with the lid removed to stop extruder clogs?

[@syko2695]

I should imagine so since it supports having 4 of them like Bambu does and there's no way you're fitting 4 on top of the unit itself 😅

[@alfista9862]

Hi everyone! In your opinion, should I get a X1C or is it fine to wait for this to come out? I’m really interested in the bigger print volume while keeping the possibility of printing multicolour and multi material. Thanks in advice!

[@CraftedChannel]

Bambu did nothing that hadn't been done before. They simply packaged and marketed well so many neophytes saw these features first in the Bambu. It was all there before.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

It’s all in the presentation

[@Averagedad712]

there are only so many ways you can make a product everyone is asking for so.... ''clones'' is a dumb way to look at these products. People need to stop being for hyper critical about this small market. I don't see anyone in the comments or doing reviews making a new design for bed slingers or core XY machines??? Everyone wants a $3000+ machines for penny's.

[@brandonbrown3600]

Exactly, if they want different go buy a XL. It will cost an arm and a leg though. If you want it affordable, this is what we get it's a simple concept people just do not understand.

[@petercallison5765]

Nearly every printer review has someone in the comments saying it is just a copy of this that or the other. Psychiatrists must have a name for that phenomenon.

[@TsukitaAki]

Love this comment.

[@0GStinkyPinky]

Hey Sam! I would love to see a video talking about whether or not to catch a Creality printer on sale right now and get the “ams” system later when they release the upgrade kit or to hold off and wait for the k2 series to release.

[@0GStinkyPinky]

Would make great short!

[@waldip4474]

Question, Should I wait for the K2 Plus or go for a discounted K1c / Max? I want to look into the rabbit hole and get my first 3D printer, currently looking at the K1c and the K1 Max but the Max is a little tight for my budget, also guessing the K2 will be at or above the Max's price. Bambu seems hard to find in ZA so I don't really see that as an option.

[@0GStinkyPinky]

I am stuck in the same boat! The k1 and k1c are a little too small as far as build volume goes for me but I’m stuck between whether I should catch the k1 max on sale, pickup a bambu A1 or just wait for the k2 series to release and save my money until then?!?

[@waldip4474]

@@0GStinkyPinky and I really want an enclosed unit, mainly for dust.

[@sprlpy318]

if there is such a question, then you do not have a specific task for this printer, it is stupid to think that it will appear with the printer, I would recommend waiting, so the choice will be greater and you will probably take a different model altogether

[@petercallison5765]

I would grab a super cheap Ender 3 V3 SE and use it till you know what you need.

[@davidturner9860]

So, the CFS reads RFID tags. Does Creality currently sell any filaments incorporating RFID tags, or is this going to be a pointless feature for some time?

[@bmincher]

Ok, for Suggestions : Usb on side sucks, CFS needs a heater for dehumidification/drying, poop chute should come out the right side or even to the bottom below the heat plate. Creality please get all that done before you get the one I got preordered today shipped LOL :)👍

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

That’s what I’ve been saying!!!!! They did try the heater in the CFS though bad results

[@exrez83]

do you know if the CFS be mounted on the side or does it need to be on top?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

You can put it to the side

[@gperiotto]

Good to hear you're back in good health mate. Now qq, what is that green attachment behind the K1 at around 11:35? 👀

[@andreas.grundler]

That looks to me like a part of a 3D Chameleon. It's an automatic color change system.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Hahaha yep

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

[@bruceyork5260]

I’m very keen to find out more information about the K2 plus. Not particularly interested in the multi filament system, however if the price is right, I would buy it as well. Question for you Sam and Creality. Will the K2 machines be capable print CF/exotic filaments and has a Ethernet port. Also will they be available in Australia for a reasonable price.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Yes it’ll be able to print all the filaments suggested and I hear various others, with the 350 degree hotend and heated chamber. It does have the Ethernet port and there are various security features to that port. They have an office in Australia and if you buy one I’d be happy to personally deliver your unit to you. @creailty let’s do this

[@joepadilla1924]

Nice video very informative.

[@kalenpatterson6854]

I really hope they used a thicker aluminum bed plate. That would solve so many leveling/first layer issues. I've got my K1 Max pretty dialed now (over 1,000 print hours) but still have to heat soak the bed before printing to be consistent. I put a thicker bed plate on and it was amazing. Unfortunately the silicone heater on it died and had to go back to original

[@mikemiller5599]

Looking at Anycubic new color system vs CFS and Bambu. The BL and CFS have motor driven spools and Anycubic does not have motor driven spools. The motor driven ones look like retract is quite long and takes a bit of time while the Anycubic uses four tubes to extruder, no driven spools and retract appears to be short with I guess the extruder during all the work. Can you comment on pro/con of the two methods?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Well my concern is on the waste side, it’s really only tool head printers that’s seem to overcome the terror of the purge, Bambu more recently introduced a purge reduction method that looks pretty interesting while the Kobra 3 to Me looks like a rip on the A1. The cfs has a pushing mechanism on the back of the printer but still has drivers in the cfs unit. My experience on the Bambu is them over working and delaying my prints which is a little annoying. Let’s be fair until this system is treated to a real battering we simply won’t know how good it is, all of the footage coming out right now seems to have a Creailty engineer stood right next to it in case it craps out.

[@mikemiller5599]

@@TheRealSamPrentice Thanks for the reply - everything you said is spot on and strait forward. Like many we just have the itch for multi-color experience. BL environment of over control keeps me away and I'll just wait out Creality CFS info. I'm happy with Creality (Ender 3 Pro now have KE).

[@WMH-3D-Printshop]

Hi, hope you can answer a few questions regarding K2? It may really be true that they have chosen to install the board on the right side at the top. It makes no sense at all that they have not chosen to run a cable at the top for USB instead of it sticking out the side? and yes, I know you probably can't reveal where you get one. but have a lot of other things I also have questions about.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

What was the question ?

[@WMH-3D-Printshop]

@@TheRealSamPrentice one of the questions was whether they have moved the motherboard up to the side on the right where the usb is now and why have they chosen that instead of keeping all the electronics at the bottom

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

@WMH-3D-Printshop so the board is currently located where the usb is, that’s on the pre production models, this might change but I’d doubt it.

[@WMH-3D-Printshop]

@@TheRealSamPrentice ok saw another video from creality where an english speaker showed it and talked about it and he didn't mention anything about it being a pre production model. After all, there is no way to decide whether to throw around 1360 GBP / 12000 danish kr for such a printer when you don't know how the final product will be?

[@justinanderson2598]

Creality had a rocky start with the k1, i am a k1 owner and love it. I got lucky and didnt have any issues. But if creality wants to stay in the race they need to have there launch printers work straight from launch, basic things like hotends and extruders being bad designs at launch is a really bad look considering how basic they really are.

[@blue-steel7177]

I got mine this past Dec, Had a gen 1 extruder and hot end. Nothing but issues. bought a gen 3 extruder and microswiss hot end. still have vfa and an uneven build plate. So if the k2 doesn't impress greatly I will be jumping ship to another company

[@harrycee656]

LoL Bamboo Labs copied other people's ideas but added much more user friendiness. Someone else will do that and add more. Competition is good for the consumers.

[@XeroCreator]

I know it's bed-slinger vs an enclosed printer, but how does the k2 and or k1 compare to the ender 3 v3/plus other than sizes? I find that space seems to be a huge game changer and having the 'poop chute' on the rear of a printer now requires you to use more space... which for me invalidates their size dimensions if you need to throw a bucket behind the printer or even make some kinda slide going into a small metal can for disposal... That, and as much fun as it is saying you can print 16 colors... or 20...i imagine how much space that takes up simply to not have to change filament... it's only good for someone with an entire studio for only 3d printing to put it all in. Overall the k2 seems nice but it's it worth it over a k1 or k1 max? I think the k2 is kind of lax, same speed, few new features that you don't really need, and multicolor... which the majority of people printing will even buy if it isn't affordable. Thanks for the video, I'm only printing as a hobby, and make things for my other hobbies... i think the k1 max would be the next upgrade if anything (whenever my ender 3 v3 plus gets here). I'll be excited to see how they compare I just watched your ender 3 v3 plus video showing the extra y motor and small differences... Now... to wait the extra week it'll take for my printer to ship from the us warehouse :(

[@Ice99_22]

Looks like a high end build. Annoying they still use smooth idler pulleys on the toothed side of the belts. Hope that doesn’t still introduce the VFA as we have seen with the K1 series.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Wait and see I guess !!

[@d3k2p0]

Is the USB thing really a big issue for farms? I don't 3d print on that scale and never plan to, but you'd think that you would at least leave 2-3 inches between units (or is adequate airflow around an enclosed printer not that important?) so you'd be able to fit a flatter drive into the slot and still have space to remove it, no?

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

The argument was more about it being at the front like most other printers

[@KevinRought]

While Creality will sell their products to anyone, I believe no one commenting here are the target customer. Make units plug & play and sell them to any/all fabrication/mfg companies. The worldwide market is ready for a change in how business is done. We could mention the apparent improvements and changes added to the k2 machine (k2 series?) like a longer filament tube outside the wire chain and how it doesn't hit the lid or the different x axis guide ways. How many people complained the filament mount on the k1 series was on the back of the cabinet and not on the side?

[@monkeywrench1951]

You are the enemy of the rabid bambu-fan-boys herd. As a bambu user, I have to be very careful to not even insinuate that it may somehow be the machine when I ask for help . I actually feel that competition is good and if creality wasn’t there Bambu would command a huge premium. Another thing about competition is that if it is clean, it will drive much better products. But, right now, Bambulab machines are the apple of consumer 3D printing, so I am happy with it.

Kobra 3s are at an amazing price. I hope it is good. Surprised Anycubic don't have a Babu Labs clone yet.

[@petercallison5765]

While you are talking to Creality and just about any manufacturer you need to tell them to get their act together with profiles. Great it works out of the box but not as well as it should without a proper profile. They particularly forget different nozzle sizes. It makes me suspect it gives the reviewers an out because they frequently say the problems in their prints are just due to a poor profile.

[@cperalta]

Not having a heater in the CFS is pretty stupid. In higher humidity climates, a spool heater is a must for certain filaments. Ideally, 1 CFS would have 4 separate heated zones, but I understand this would be costly for a mid-level printer. Creality should have made each CFS to heat to a specific temp so you can print up to 4 different materials with 4 CFS units. Alternatively, to avoid copying Bambu, they could have made individual heated spool modules, so we can add a module as needed. On an unrelated note, did they make the build plate thicker? The K1 Max stock bed warps too easily.

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

Well anycubic managed the heater in there one. I agree with you tho! The bed appeared to be thicker on the k2

Meh, the build size is nice over the K1 Max but the AMS system is last years or the year before news! People want less waste multi color options not more AMS systems! Can do 4 colors on a K1/MAx with a 3D Chameleon for $179 so not much groundbreaking here. This is a little better option with the poop shoot and you don't need some of you build plate for a purge block like the 3D Chameleon but it is only a marginally better option!

Weirdly enough both (benchy and spiderman) multi-color prints were just a layer change print, at least the benchy for sure, and spiderman was so thin that you couldn't see the different color change on layers if any.

A 350×350 XY print area is really interesting, but why do you have to combine it with a height of 350 mm? As far as I'm concerned, it's very rare for me to exceed 100 mm in height. In the same vein, why always have a square bed? If one day a manufacturer made a printer with a print volume of 400×300×250 (XYZ) I'd probably be the first to buy it...

Who actually cares? BL printer is using all copied technology too. Not only did BL copy and take open source technology, they locked it down so you can't actually use the free open source technology they copied. Are you crying about that as well?

Why is that bad, that is like saying all cars with 4 wheels are cpycats.

Now chinese companies are copied by them selfs

[@sprlpy318]

the Chinese have been copying all their lives and have already flown ahead of everyone in development, so for them copying is not a curse word but praise

How long for k series multicolour, or just buy a bampoo

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

My best guess is the latter part of this year, but if multicolour is important to you right now, then go for the bambu

@@TheRealSamPrentice manual changing has been ok so far even with hueforges, but I'd rather stay with a printer I already have fine tuned tbf.
