Would like to buy a new printer and need suggestions.

Qidi Q2 has been amazing for me. Only other experience is with a Creality k1 SE and it’s a headache. The Qidi has been flawless out of the box.

Still under warranty, think I'll get a new printer or just new parts for the printer?

I'll counter this with: My K1 SE has been fantastic out of the box. After over 200 print hours, it has only gotten better with fine-tuning calibration for models and filaments. Bad shit happens sometimes, and these machines are very easily serviceable and parts are generally pretty cheap ... whether

What are the things not mentioned about the CFS

Just got one for Christmas so here is my insight: Third party extruders like DXC aren't natively supported. There are different upgrade kits for different models, I have a K1 SE modded as a K1C and not sure what upgrade kit I got, but it required some minor modifications to the cable chain mount to

Understanding "open source" and bambu printer

yea but they’re still totally different price points, you’re comparing a bed slinger vs corexy, of course the corexy will beat it. i got a creality k1 se (corexy) and, while i haven’t used a bambu printer to compare against, it’s been quite literally plug and play with no issues so far

What’s a good printer

While I think the P1S is a pretty damn good printer, I will offer a lower priced alternative with the Creality K1 family. This includes the K1SE, K2SE, K1, K1C and K1 Max. Both of the SEs can be enclosed. Difference is one seems to come with parts from the CFS combo and a chute outside. K1C comes wi

Printer Reccomendation???

I have a Creality Hi and a K1 SE. The K1 is extremely fast! I just bought the upgrade kit to use the CFS with it. The Hi is great too, but because it’s so new, it’s hard to find replacement parts for some things. I love them both!

K2 models relative value for money?

Over time I have purchased a few printers from Creality Refurbished. The only one I had any issues with was a K1 SE that had at one point a blob of death. It still printed but the hotend had filament melted filament in it and smelled of burning plastic. I took pictures and they sent me a new hotend

WOW JUST HATS OFF

This is my second creality printer. My first was an Ender 3 S1. I had 1 problem with that printer which was very common on that model. I emailed creality about it only asking to buy the replacement part. They instead sent me one for free. Ran that printer for 4-5 years. I just got the k1 SE about 4
