Can I turn off the cutesy messages?

Oh good. That way you can walk up to a Creality K2 Plus and it'll greet you with failed prints instead.

Should I buy the Creality K2 Pro with the CMF system or go with an H2S or X1C from Bambu Labs?

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

It’s been real, and it’s been fun…

I've been comparing the P2 (Bambu) and the K2 (creality) series and noticing they're about the same speed for printing. There's a reason I call my K2 Plus "Spaceballs 2" XD It is absolutely absurd how fast these guys go, a print that used to take me all day on my Ender V3 SE, takes me only a few hou

Upgrading after 5 years with an Ender 3 V2: Should I get the Ender 3 V3 SE or make the jump to Bambu Lab?

I started printing in February with an Ender 3 V3 SE. I was instantly hooked. I lasted about 3 weeks and I got a K2 pro combo. I absolutely love both machines. And a lot of people trash Creality, but I think they are great! Since you already know how Creality works and if you like the tunability, I'

Qidi q2 vs Bambi p2s

You can't get a much better deal than the Qidi q2. You obviously see the specs it offers. It prints absolutely beautifully. I have had zero issues with this printer and the print quality is just awesome. It uses finer tooth spacing on the belts that really helps eliminate vfa's. I have a Creality K2

Best mid tier 3D printer

Best general experience: Bambu Lab P1S/P2S, and A1 Close contenders: Creality K2, Elegoo Centauri Carbon, (and some others, but these are the common choices). Edit: updated Creality K1 to the K2

Just bought the K2 (standard)

Hey! I’ve had two K2s for a couple months, they’ve been great. It has been annoying that Creality didn’t give the standard K2 a more distinct name… Also, please chime in on issue #11079 on GitHub for orcaslicer profiles for the standard K2. Hopefully we get it soon. There is a post where a commenter

Can’t Decide Between Bambu X1C and Creality K2 Plus – Print Quality Is My Biggest Concern

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 did absolutely nothing to tune or optimize and got these results on a Blastoise on stock settings. I wish I could give you more of a technical breakdown, but the K2 isn’t fighting me

Settings help

If you're using Creality PETG and Sunlu PLA+ 2.0 on the K2, the key is to avoid over-tuning and start with stable baseline settings. For PLA+ (Sunlu 2.0): Nozzle: 200–205°C Bed: 55–60°C Speed: 120–180 mm/s (don’t go max speed yet) Retraction: ~0.8 mm (direct drive) Cooling: 100% after layer 3–4 Flow

Bambu, please make a large format P1/X1.

Totally agreed. I got rid of my X1C and P1S prematurely after the H2D was released. I was hoping for a much bigger build volume, so I picked up the K2 Plus. I said the same thing - it's straight up hot garbage. The touch input is laggy, the CFS seems nice but sadly for me it was just trash. I've had
