- Hello friends, I am here in the studio today spending some time with about 5 different K2 Plus machines that are working away. One of them has 3 CFS connected to it!
I'm going to highlight some of the features of this machine in case you are wondering which printer to buy this year. Let me warn you, that this thing is not small and easy to move around your house. If you want something like that I recommend the K1C. The K2 Plus has a huge build volume and it is fast and quiet and a very advanced machine. I will explain all the highlights of this machine here and explain how easy it is to use for beginners.
If you are an advanced user, there are features of this machine you will also appreciate, like the heated chamber, and the ability to print in advanced filaments.
Enclosed printers are quieter, but this thing also uses FOC closed loop motors to really turn down the volume. You will have to see one in person to really appreciate how quiet it is.
Thanks for watching, and if you could subscribe that would mean a lot to me. I'll subscribe to your channel if you send me a link to my email!

I really love all the features of the K2 Plus, especially this one upgraded printing bed . It definitely gives ya a lot more room to work with, and I am just so into that. but when it comes to power recovery feature, just seems like you needa update the firmware or manually enable it? I’m wondering if the recently released FLsun S1 Pro might handle this much better. have ya looked into it? I needa weigh my options before the deal ends tomorrow and decide which one to grab!
I am the wrong guy to ask about any other brand - i have never used a printer that does not have Creality stamped on the front haha. Do you have big issues with power loss in your area? I have never had a print fail due to power loss. If you do need to manually enable it on the K2 Plus, this would be an easy menu item that is set and then forgotten - not something you need to do more than once.
switching to a magnetic tool head cover on the k2 plus is an interesting move. while it certainly makes maintenance and upgrades easier, there are potential drawbacks to consider. for example, will the magnetic cover stay in place during long print runs, especially when dealing with vibrations from high-speed printing? it's a thoughtful upgrade, theoretically, but i’m eager to see how it performs in real-world use. on that note, some delta printers emphasize simplicity and reliability in their design, opting for fewer moving parts and tried-and-true tool head attachment methods. it’s worth comparing how these features measure up against magnetic options in terms of durability and consistency, particularly in challenging printing tasks
It's a valid thought, I was excited to see it just because I have taken the cover off the K1 so so so many times - would be easier. But of course that one has a fan in it. This is a simple cover with no electronics so it is light, i think the magnets will be enough paired with the tabs on top. I like it when they try new things lol
I purchased a base K1, then wanted to print multi color, so I ordered a 3rd party multi color upgrade, it was so much work and damaged multiple build plates. I like the ease of use of the Creality products, so I finally just pulled the trigger and bought the K2 Plus with CFS for multi color printing. I'm going to revert everything on my K1 and just be happy using that for single color prints for now. Extremely happy with the Creality platform though! SO hyped to get my K2 plus!
oh i would love to see pics from your K1. The CFS will eventually be available for it too - i have seen them testing them already. If you have time to email me, i would love to see it - even if it was a nightmare for you, it's a pretty cool thing to try. Yeah you will love the K2 Plus! kevin@creality.com
Thanks for all the hi lights 😀
glad to help!
first and foremost need to keep customers updated on there orders
but they emailed you three or four times to update you - is that not what you wanted?
@kevin.3D all I got was one email saying delayed to the 8th.
@@kevin.at.Creality I only got one mail with the coupon and delay information. Hope for a shipping update next days
@@kevin.at.Creality i wish. they haven't said a word since the last delay. keeping people in the dark about their orders even after their new ship date passes. we have to reach out to get any kind of answer. very unprofessional
I have had only 1 email regarding shipping so not sure where kevin is saying 3 or 4 emails and that was to tell me about a delay and now it is delayed again but I had to contact them so not very good customer service is what I am saying
tell Creality, they need to email people and let us know if for some reason, there are further delays on our pre-orders. seems like lot of ppl was promised it would ship Nov 8th and receive the printer by the15th only finding out its been delayed again?
You can email me and I can give you more details (what I know) or you can email cs@creality.com and ask them - they will give you more info. I agree with you, they should mass email everyone an explanation but it seems they are not doing that - but you can certainly ask for info.
After spending more time diagnosing/repairing/posting to forums for help and replacing parts on my ender 5 s1 than I have printing over the last year, I'm beyond gunshy to purchase.
I need a tool, not something I will spend more time maintaining than using.
Hopefully the K2 plus ends up being that! I'll be watching closely over the next few months to see how they hold up. Thanks for such a thorough review!
Sorry to hear about your issues. I wish I knew more about the Ender 5 series but I have never used them. I agree with you, hoping the K2 Plus is everything we want it to be.
this is all great but i pre ordered mine in june and then received an email 7 weeks ago saying it is delayed until 8th - 15th nov but that has now been pushed until 20th nov seem like they are taking orders without having the printers ready and yes the customer service is very very poor as i had to contact them yesterday, come on creality need to get customer service a lot better
Basically is no customer service From what i have delt with.
have you tried whatsapp, facebook, IG, discord, twitter, or Linkedin? Creality has customer service in all these places.
@@kevin.at.Creality thanks for the reply what's the number for WhatsApp as don't use any of the other
I pre-order my printer months ago. Got email saying it will ship Nov 8. Y'all should do a vidoe addressing that.
email cs@creality.com and ask them about it. They will likely have an answer for you.
I may order one after the upgrade comes out
thanks for supporting the channel
Being delivered!
Then we shall see how it stacks with a modified CR10s Pro v2, CR10 Smart Pro, and Ender 3 S1 Pro.
Amazing!
I’ll be super excited if I win a K2 tomorrow
someone has to win - why not you?
When you search K2 right now in the internet, you see mostly people complaining about the severals delays, lack of communication and non-respect about the delayed date.
On reddit, there is more poste about this than on the machine itself.
I think if they take orders from the store and deliver it sonner than the preorder, they will face a major backlash of the community.
I hope they have communication ready for this for the livestream 😌
Eh?
They are only 40 days late.
And they informed everyone when they knew of the shipping delays.
People are just salty and impatient.
@ I presume sending an email to customers to inform them is overrated.
Next time, I’ll pay my taxes 40 days late with no explanation.😅
I agree, communication is key. For sure no new sales will be delivered before the pre-orders - thats just common sense. Even the pre-orders are being shipped in the order they were sold.
I understand being a little impatient when you spent your money already, but if those same people actually emailed customer service they would get an explanation and a general idea of when the printers will arrive in country. At this moment now, people ARE receiving their printers and the rest are on the ocean. Everything is going according to plan, Creality wants everyone to love their new machines.
who cares this barely reflects the product, it is black Friday part of the year and these are massive machines. Sure it is annoying but shipping is not reflective of the company. I wish them luck, they are far behind as a company and I want them to come back strong
Meanwhile no communication from Creality since September about when my preorder will arrive. Rumours are more delays but nothing from Creality. Their support just copy:pasted from the September email. Might be an amazing machine but communication sucks
Bro just email them. My delayed unit was supposed to ship the 26th of oct. It didn't. No word for them. On the 28th I emailed and they told me mid nov. Then my last communication with them is end of Nov. Seems they are telling everyone in the usa end of Nov for the units to arrive in the usa
seems like Canada and Australia had better shipping this time
They could at least tell me the name of the ship mine is on so I can track that. They must know where every container is. Beginning to think they don’t care about their customers
@@kevin.at.Creality at first. A 40% Canadian posted on the Facebook group that he was told dec 27th
@@brendonrhodes13 They don't , I spent just under 2K with them in Canada like 2 weeks ago there is an issue with the order and pretty much told me to kick rocks that its not there problem just in different words , After they ignored my messages for a few days. I did an experiment where i opened a live chat in regular browser mode and one in incognito mode because in regular mode they never replied to me but as soon as i used incognito Bam there was a human on the other end meanwhile the regular browser chat with my account the messages just stay unread for weeks
For $1600 i expected not to have a warped build plate and a bent lead screw. Hopefully support makes this right.
It's a nice machine but actually, there gave 5 promotional prices during their preorder. They sold the K2 at 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, and finally at $1499.00. So, there is no 11/11 deal! They sold 400 units for $749.00 with the CFS at 50%. presale promotion. If they can give away 400 combo units for $749.00 then they can do much better than $1499.00 for Black Friday.
It's a new release so there is no discount right now - you are correct. This was not a Black Friday discount, this was the first time we have offered it for sale on the store (not including the pre-orders). It is possible that if you wait, the price will come down.
I'm really interested in this, I've been owning an Ender3 since 2018 and it has been phenomenal since.
Can this printer be operated completely offline? And will the CFS work with various filaments from other brands without RFID chips?
Cheers!
Hi, nice to meet you. 2018 Ender 3 is good to hear about - i love hearing from people with older machines. Yeah you can use any filament you want in the CFS - just use the printer screen to select type and color, very easy. Printer can be used offline - USB port allows you to manually add prints - or LAN cable at the back if you want to load from your computer.
@@kevin.at.Creality That is awesome, thank you!
Yeah my Ender has been heavily modified, Klipper, MicroSwiss direct drive, various other things so there was never a reason to change it for something else. Looking now for an enclosed Core XY printer, so the K2 Plus is high on the list!
I would like to know what changes were made to the K2 to eliminate ghosting,
check out Nathan Build Robots - he has made three new videos about the K2 Plus and taken it apart to show the upgrades.
@ thanks I’ll go and have a look
Looking at some YT videos the CFS cables are not long enough to put this on the side are they coming out with a longer cables? Noticed the store does not have the new filament with the RFID tags one last question does the bed require glue to get the parts to sick to the plate
Its just the bowden tube. You can certainly mount it to the side. The bed does NOT require glue.
the CFS comes with two cables and you are right, the shorter one will not work to get it on the side. I have asked the accessories department and they assured me that cables will be available for purchase separately - you can buy a second long cable by contacting cs@creality.com
When i see Creality printing upgrades for their own printer (like the poop chute) then I wonder why it wasnt designed properly to begin with.
i guess each user has different needs for the waste - some will want it on the right side and some on the left side and some have room at the back to place a bucket. I also thought the same when I first saw it - why not have a finished exit, but to be completely honest with you - you are the first person to say that in any comment on my channel. It seems you and I are the only ones who wanted it haha. So we have a hole in the back of the machine and makers get to make. Thanks for watching the video though - have a great week!
How easy is it to print supports with a soluable filament? I imagine it's straight-forward but I've not seen it done on any RUclips review.
We have done it before at the office but it's not easy to find that filament. Most people are trying things like PET-G supports on a PLA print since they can be easily removed. It's a little more tinkering but very interesting to me.
@@kevin.at.Creality Thanks - that's very useful information. One of my main motivations for considering an upgrade (I currently have an 8-year old FDM printer) is to get better supports - and cleaner prints when using supports. This is making me think again.
Creality is coming late to the game. Now that they are releasing a new machine with questionable quality control as demonstrated by the K1 series, bambulab will probably surprise us with something new for next year with better features.
If you want to buy a K2, I recommend that you buy it at least 6 months after its launch.

Agree, competition is good for the consumer.
stay to the end - don't want to miss the last part! 😂
good tip!
Hi what's about the new Spools with RFID Tag inside? Can find them on store.
They are on their way to the warehouses now - should show up soon
@ im so hyped, my k2 should arrive soon and I need the right filament for full experience 😃
wondering where rest of my order is
best tocontact cs@creality.com - they won't read the comments on my channel unfortunately
How about when will we be able to get it for the k1 series printers
@@Camaro45th next year
they said maybe December, but likely you are right. Not too long now.
Been waiting to order one, seems it will never leave the sold out list. Not sure how people are saying they "just pre-ordered" one, haven't seen that option available, I have been watching since September. All these links in description to buy one only see it out of stock. 😞
Probably purchases from eBay. Some went on sale there.
@timelrd some were sold on ebay. But tommorow night they have a launch stream
November 10th we have a livestream on the official Creality channel - they will go on sale.
Also, have a question about the hot end fan. When the machine is idle for hours the fan is always running. Would like to leave my machine idle but not let the fan run continuously.
I think you may have to contact tech support for that because the fan should not be running for hours. Once the hotend is cool, the fan should shut off. email cs@creality.com
Welp maybe my day one 50% preorder will actually ship in 2025 and i can try these copl things out then
which country are you in? Most of the pre-orders have shipped and almost everyone has received an email telling them the date theirs will arrive. email me if you have not received this email, i'll check it out for you
@kevin.3D hey Kevin. My date came and went. I had to reach out via email and they told me it was delayed again till mid Nov, then I spoke woth didi who told me end of Nov. My original delay date was oct 28th. I can still email you of you'd like
I won't fall for new products from Creality a second time. I bought the K1 when it was brand new and it was mediocre. Only after the third hotend generation and the second extruder and several firmware versions do I usually get usable results. But mine rattles and no tip from the Internet has helped so far, and the first fan is now defective.
The only thing it could print reasonably well straight away was Hyper-PLA, everything else required a lot of fiddling at the beginning. I was only able to print TPU properly after months (second hotend, second extruder).
And by the way: it looks like creality shipped so many printers to influencers that there were none left to sell. And everyone knows what such reviews look like by now. About the quality of Amazon Vine.
anyone that bought the k1, suffered and then moved to Bambu is not really looking back to creality.
as long as you can keep printing I am happy.
How do I go about purchasing additional CFS units? I don't see a link on crealities site.
It's up
i see that a lot of people who pre ordered the k2 have received emails from creality telling them that they will only receive their k2 printers in december....so my question is, the k2 will be available to buy on cr store tomorrow.... will we still receive the k2 this year if we buy it now? i dont think so.....
I would assume not. I was in the first wave of pre orderes and was 'supposed' to have a shipping email yesterday. That didn't happen.
Bro my day one preorder has been pushed back three times now. I am told all stock left china and now it will arrive in the usa at the end of Nov and shipping will happen a week after. I am assuming no k2 for me this year
@@tylercrye292same. It’s frustrating that there’s no communication on this at all.
@silverbeats1418 i saw a canadian in the 40% off group saying they emailed him woth a dec 23rd date and shipping a week after. So 2025
Why can't we have a release date I don't care how long I just want a date anything would nice????
November 10th
still waiting a month after ordfering ;(
A month is not bad. Pre-orders paid for in June are still waiting also. Depends on your country and shipping. Sorry for the wait!
@@kevin.at.Creality I cancilled the order now, as its going to be Jan now I hear
Yes I could not agree more ok having all theses videos to sell the machine and even put it on sale on there website but we are all still waiting since June pre orders ??? Bit of a joke to be honest
email cs@creality.com and ask them about it. They will likely have an answer for you.
first layer @0:45 doesn't look right, it's too close to the bed
Easy enough to adjust manually, id rather too close over too far
@joshp8r too far, just cancel and readjust. Too close you potentially can ruin your plate. But it's up to you how you do yours, it's just my tuppence.
@@LastZion it's got to be really close to ruin a textured plate in my experience, like moving the plate low
Fra poco vengo in cina a bussarvi alla porta se non me la spedite!
Non è serio comportarsi così, I preordini che tutti noi abbiamo fatto hanno permesso di raccogliere fondi per partire con la produzione in serie senza chiedere denaro ad una banca. Quindi almeno sarebbe rispettoso aggiornare gli utenti riguardo le date di consegna
After the K1 🫣!! I don't think I will wasting more money again.
i also had an early K1 and today she is going strong. Extruder upgrade (of course) and now upgraded the hot end to the K1C unicorn nozzle. It's a great printer. Yours not so good?
@@kevin.at.Creality I was big fans of Creality, until I purchased K1!😬. I was tired from opening the machine from bottom.. the machine with all that noise and shaking. I think the time now to try with Bambulab...
Creality Its success with Ender and get lost with K1... enough struggling with bed leveling.
