This is a great review of the K2 Plus, Sam! I hope they consider adding a five-color system. I've run into issues with inconsistent layer lines in large prints too, so your tips on firmware updates are super helpful. For big single-material projects, I often use the FLSUN T1 . It’s really fast and perfect for large models. While it doesn’t support multiple materials like the K2 Plus, it’s incredibly reliable for high-volume printing.

Creality seems to have really upped their game. I'm impressed by the thought they've put in to this. I hope the quality control department doesn't let their engineering department down. Personally, I don't have anywhere I could fit this printer. A 250mm version (K1 Plus v2?) would be far more interesting to me. BTW, we do not consume a credit card worth of plastic per week. The study from the University of Newcastle (howay the lads!) that claimed that counted the number of particles and then assigned a average, standard particle mass that was far, far too high in order to come up with the total. Other researchers who have revisited the data have come up with much lower estimates. In some cases, as low as a grain of salt per week. I'm not suggesting that is good, I'm fully on board with microplastics being a very bad thing, but I do want to correct the error that everyone on social media is amplifying.

A tip on your switching materials. Get a roll of regular nylon preferably natural. Use it to purge until all the old filament is out of the nozzle and then do a cold pull to make sure all the old stuff is out. Having worked with high temp stuff for awhile now we do that anytime we are changing material. The nylon we have been using extrudes fine at 240c(low enough for even pla) and has thermal break down at 350. So up to 340c is easy. It is possible to purge out even PEEK with it but you have to keep the flowrate really high while purging until the temps drop down to under 350c.

And this time, the machine really feels like it's high quality, cause nothing is shaking weirdly thanks to the powerful and heavy frame.

This confused my future purchase of a 2nd printer for my son this holiday. He got a Creality Ender V3 KE from a 3D printing camp this summer, and turned it into a little printing business for himself since. Wanted to gift him a 2nd printer since you can only do so much with one workload. I've settled on a Bambu P1S. To get that and an AMS for $750 seems like the best deal at the moment. If... i mean _when_ we get the eventual 3rd printer, he'll be paying for at least part of it. And I think by then all the kinks will be worked out of this model, or we'll know what large volume model Bambu has been working on.

Bad quality prints/layer lines/shifts Unable to use PLA Silk in the CFS Difficulty with jams Issues with color shifts Etc I have one on pre-order and I'm experiencing a certain level of anxiety that it's going to be a nightmare, poor quality prints, and a waste of money. I'm getting stellar prints from my A1/AMS lite combo and was really hoping that this was going to be an issue free machine with high quality prints rivaling the A1 & X1C out of the box. It doesn't sound like it so far. Maybe you or others here can ease my mind a bit, or confirm my reservations.

The belt tensioner has had some issues and if that’s not “right” you will get some quality issues and potentially some movements on the color changer.

Well, to answer the question posed in the title, does the K2 Plus offer greater utility than three Bambu A1's with AMS Lite, because that is an equal price comparison. Obviously, for certain use cases, the answer is "yes". Exotic filaments and large-format multi-color prints are two of those use cases, but it seems to me that the vast majority of people would be better served by three A1's, or more accurately one A1 for 1/3 the price. I don't think anyone can call the K2 Plus a "value" printer with a straight face other than those who got a freebie or were lucky enough to get a deeply discounted one. Am I mad that I didn't get an early bird model? Yes. That was a marketing debacle because my perspective now, like most people, is that I have to pay 80% more to get the printer. I was there, I was willing, but I couldn't get the price. Balls. So now I am in no hurry to get it, and if the Bambu large-format is released before I buy the Creality during a sale, I'll get that instead.

@TheNerdArmory I’ve shot a fair amount already just concentrating on prints and print quality at the moment. I will say this release, which is the public release seems to work really well ! They’re just sending me an enclosure kit too

Great video Sam and great job on following instructions too. Surely it won’t put into your viewership because of the wait either. 👌🏾

Are they making a smaller version, don't need 350mm
@TheRealSamPrentice15 күн бұрын
I would certainly guess so
@GamingWithURO15 күн бұрын
Yeah seeing this is a "plus" I'd imagine a standard version is coming. Seeing they didn't use the "MAX" name from the K1 I wonder if that means theres a max coming too. Would be weird to put that nomenclature away after 1 model.

In general the prints just don't look great think I will wait till they remove all the bugs

yes I still work for creality. they would obviously give me more jobs if I make their stock tank and loose them lots of money. lol

In all honesty, those prints don't look that great. Hopefully that can be rectified.

If you want to buy a 3D printer better get one before Trump gets into the White House. I think we're going to see some see more tariffs on anything Chinese.

It's creality, so it's still trash, I have 3, did have 4 until I sent the k1 back, arrived inoperable, hotend issue, another 3v2, sensor issue, another with a constant problem with this or that, don't order trash to save money pay another $100-200 get a bambu and never have a problem again. If you like working/fixing on 3d printers vs using 3d printers stay with creality.

@@crusader-hcq Oh I'd agree. If Bambu lab wasn't closed and I could use Octoprint on it, I'd 100% consider that. Considering I can do that with Creality, I'm more likely to purchase a k2+ because I'll actually be able to use it with my computer rather than fiddle about with a less than needed touchscreen.
