Ive just been through this decision myself. Ive been printing for about 8 years and have had 4 previoys printers. I went for the creality k2 plus. It is so easy to print, and to get good quality prints. I cant belive it after years of struggles. Im not a fan of locked in systems such as bamboo. Undo

The K2’s are night and day compared to the Ender series. That said they’re starting to develop a 3rd party ecosystem now, but nothing like the Ender since there’s less of a need as they mostly contain what you want out of the box. Adding extra lighting, upgraded nozzle, upgraded hot-end, upgraded be

I asked this question last week, and my k2 plus combo arrives tomorrow. My summary of the answers I got is that outside of QC problems the machine is reliable and works well. If/when things break its fairly easy to replace them. I've had mixed reports on creality customer service. For some it's fant

I wont post on you tube, but I will give u my two cents in color. The unit I got was DOA, very easy to install, worked once and then it clogged, got error "nozzle not heating as expected" the machine turned off. Customer service sent me a new one. I did re calibrate the nozzle and even did the exten

The people who cry - always get the most attention. Most don’t come on here posting positive things - those without problems, are usually busy printing. There’s countless of us with multiple machines, some with a few thousand hours already and zero issues that weren’t self inflicted. My preorder K2

Thanks for the input, I saw on this sub that there are many K2+ owners, and it really seems like a great printer.

I initially had issues with my K2 plus, creality arranged collection and replaced the full printer. Apart from my mistakes the printer has performed flawlessly for the last year

I started with the creality ender 3 S1 as my first printer and now I've got the K2 plus. My job used a bambu carbon for prototype prints and small consumable parts for some of our machines. Both have their pro's and con's. I know bambu customer service is lacking from experiences helping our enginee

I’ll add my own experience here since I run both Creality machines daily: I currently own an Ender and a K2 Plus, and honestly — I didn’t have any serious issues with either of them. 👉 Whatever came up, I fixed myself without much trouble 👉 And whenever I contacted Creality support, I usually got a
