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

Oh, you should see what the higher end printers will do. My Creality K2 Plus has a multi material system, and calibrates pressure advance and flow automatically. All I have to do is print a temp tower, and that’s it. If I’m using a Creality filament I don’t have to do anything, the RFID tags automat

I don't think anyone can answer this one for you. You need to ask yourself why you want to start printing. There are pros and cons to consider.

I got my first printer for Christmas - a Creality K2 Pro. Instantly loved it and self-justified getting another - went for a Bambu P1S. 2 months later I now have 3 more P1Ss and I am seriously considering a few more. This ‘hobby’ is very addictive…

I would say it depends a lot on: Your local pricesYour local availabilityWhat system you are going to be using and how much tinkering.

So, I have no idea what I’m doing. I set up the K2, downloaded a file, had to learn the software, and got printing.

I printed 2 things for my CFS, and it made it 100x more reliable and easier to use. I tried spool rings and different springs and bumpers ... nothing compared to the rollers.

No.... creality slicer (latest version) has a gazillion profiles in the actual slicer and if u go deep into the installation folders they have profiles for a ton of other brands as well.
