Creality K2 Plus - take my money!
Having previously dealt with a couple Ender 3s, I don’t know that I would have been very interested in Creality’s K2 Plus. That is, I would have held past quality sins against Creality, had I not gotten a Creality K1C in the meantime.
The K1C, is shockingly good. It’s well engineered, prints quickly and accurately, and it doesn’t break the bank.
The K2, on the other hand, does kind of break the bank. It’s Bambu-level expensive - before Bambu dropped prices in anticipation of the K2, that is. To be fair, the Bambu Labs X1C is a really good printer. That said, is there anything it does that the K2 Plus doesn’t do as well, or better?
For me, I wanted a printer that could do multi-color. Yes, I have a dual extruder printer, but it’s not really supported by a slicer that handles color well. I thought an A1 or P1S may fit the bill. But then I also wanted a large-format printer that could provide me with a quality improvement over my QIDI i-fast. Maybe a big Voron? What about something enclosed for the materials I want to start using?
Man, this thing is big
And that’s where the Creality K2 Plus makes a lot of sense. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s way cheaper than the menagerie of printers that I’d get to take care of my various requirements - and it’s not like multiple printers is what I need for my types of workloads.
Creality… take my money, and enjoy it as much as I’ll enjoy the K2.
