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

For u/Creality_3D : Your link requires a WeChat login to use. In the US, very very few people have WeChat accounts. I know it's used for damn near everything in China, but it's quite rare in the US. Anyway here is my feedback: I'm a big fan of Creality. I love my K1 Max and I've got a K2 Plus that j

Very few people are going to have experience with both. And Bambu seems to have cult-like shills always posting useless short posts saying Creality sucks and Bambu is the only real printer. I've got 948 hours on my K2 Plus with two CFS. I really like it a lot. My problems with it have been mostly my

I'm on my 5th Printer and my last two are Creality K2 and the Bambu P2S. I've been a tinkerer all my life and now I'm older and I just want things to work. The Bambu P2S is now my favorite for how simple things are and their ecosystem is pretty slick. If I was to start over I'd get a Bambu then buy

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 have massive heat creep issues with certain PETG filaments resulting in clogs. With that said, I’m 1,100+ hrs in with mine and just got the second K2 setup today. I have resolved most of my heat creep related clogs by propping the top lid open for prints longer than 1hr. There is a member of this

Pick one of the chamber heater deflector mods on Printables. If the banding starts as the bed nears the heater and then gets worse as more of the bed is in front of the heater, I’d bet that’s your issue. Thermal changes from the heater cycling on/off with the air blowing right onto the build plate/m

You'll find issues with that connector and tube will be gone once you add a riser and a chain end mod bracket that has a support for the tube. The tube won't be strained in the connector.Add modded tubing guides to make the whole setup a lor freer and more reliable.3D Printer Files | 3MF File | K2 b

Don't jump on the Bambu bandwagon just because of a few bad things on crealitys part. I've heard terrible things from both side but you're more likely to hear bad things on the Internet versus the good because anyone and I mean ANYONE will take to the internet to complain in this day and age.

Get a riser and printable chain end that has support for the tubing. It will save you a lot of troubles. Eliminate the reason for the sag, and the too hard of a bend on the tubing.3D Printer Files | 3MF File | D3P Riser for K2 Plus | Creality Cloud THIS:3D Printer Files | 3MF File | K2 bowden tube s
