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

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.

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

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

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. I boug
