Creality K2 Plus 7-Month Review: The Printer is Great, But the Multi-Color System Is...

Video Description

After 7 months of heavy use, we're giving our honest, in-depth review of the Creality K2 Plus 3D printer. This machine offers a huge 350x350x350mm build volume and blistering speed (up to 600mm/s), but is it still worth the $1,250 price tag? In this video, we cover: The Printer: Why the K2 Plus base unit is a "good" machine, from the automatic bed leveling to its exceptional single-color print quality [01:06]. Speed vs. Quality: How dialing the speed back from 600mm/s to 250-300mm/s can dramatically improve your prints [01:26]. Ease of Maintenance: How simple it was to replace the extruder, filament cutter, and hotend when issues arose, and the affordable cost of replacement parts [01:53]. The CFS Multi-Color System: The biggest drawback! We discuss the insane filament waste ("poop") during color changes and the issues with certain spool types [03:36]. Wear and Tear: Replacing the hotend, extruder gear, and surprisingly quick degradation of the Bowden tubes after heavy multi-color use [06:00]. Final Verdict: We answer the ultimate question: would we buy the K2 Plus again, or is the K1 Max (or the Prusa XL) a better fit for your needs? Watch to find out!
