Everyone saying the sky is falling here is wrong. Prusa isn’t failing, and Bambu definitely isn’t. You have companies like Qidi shipping units that are literally broken, having customers as beta testers. Creality has an insane amount of printers that are all basically the same thing before support i

Welcome to the club. I have to warn you, if you try to tell the Creality Cult how good these Bambu Printers are, they'll call you a bunch of names. Shill, brainwashed, tourist, etc. There are other printers out there that are nearly as good out there. Qidi and Prusa are really reliable and Snapmaker

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

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

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'

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 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. Putting a CR-10 against any of these is like Putting a 1995 Honda Civic against a 2025 Tesla. I learned printing on ender 3s and cr10s.. Compared to the new

Surprised you didn't get 150+ Bambu fanatics telling you to get the P1S. lol The r/3Dprinting group gets inundated with the "what should I buy?" questions. Most people just pass them up. Posting those questions in the weekly "Purchase Advice" mega-thread is encouraged, if not the rule. I have no exp

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

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
