It is refreshing to see a good honest review video. I own the K2+ and BL printers and you are spot on. Looking at other reviews from others, they make it seems like the K2 is the best devices without flaws. Feels like they just want to get on Creality good side. It prints nice but it does have issues and the slicer Creality Print 5 & 6 are trash. BL printers at least for me are Set it and forget it. My K2 i need to watch it constantly. I hope they will make it better later down the road.
The most recent Creality Print update has adjusted flush volumes. I just printed life size 64 hour skull print, black and white, made my flush volumes .9 of the suggested flush volumes and had no problems. However, my computer is windows and not Mac. The recent Creality Print updates are for windows only. The clitchy CP is applicable to Mac users only. Creality says the recent slicer uodates will be available for mac users in the very near future. So I think a great majority of your bad experience is due to using a mac comouter to slice. Other reviewers have expressed that. The unicorn nozzle is the reason for auch large flush volumes.
My buddy got a K2P a month or two ago and he's had to swap out practically all the parts inside for new ones (not out of pocket, Creality has sent them under warranty). That's a Creality Kickstarter for ya, hahaha. Good printers once you get all the kinks sorted.
Yeah took them 3 versions to get the K1 series printer right lol This was far better than that launch. Seems like a creality thing to have iffy quality control and some people getting junk printers. Luckily the 4 i own have all been decent.
The bleed is from the nozzle length there is most likely a formula for swapping colors in barrels of extruders there always was when I ran actual extrusion lines
Nice review, I have a K1 Max, early on i used Orca, now I've switched back over to Creality Slicer for the last 6-8 months, runs really good for me, the Max is preforming beautiful. I'd like to have a multi color machine, mainly to load different material in and not have to "manually change" each time, but it really isn't a big deal. Now, for "ABS FUMES",, I use Ovation abs and have never had any smells or fumes, i often wonder what filament people are using that complain about it. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for watching! I had good luck with my k1 max, printed pla beautifully only complaint I had was first layer randomness. Others mentioned the slicer runs better on windows
Great vid, good to see genuine unbiased opinions. Your experiences are similar to mine, print quality great for pla but there's a lot of annoyances and quirks with how the machine works where Bambu just does things better. Unfortunately my printer arrived damaged, I guess from being dropped during shipping. Customer services took a week to reply to my email and have asked me to ship the machine (at my expense!) to their warehouse to be inspected. Can you please try and print TPU and feedback on your experience, I'm very experienced with calibrating TPU on many machines but no matter what I did I got a clog in the extruder every single time, filament would just find a path out through the gears. Think I went down to 3mm3/s max vol flow and 60mm/s print speed. Might just be orca issue though but every time i tried creality print it crashed.
I bought a K1C on a similarly honest review. I actually really love it and have had essentially zero issues with it. Ended up buying a K1 Max about a month ago after they included all of the upgrades and software fixes. Similar result as the K1C. If I end up getting this one, it’ll be after they workshop it on the public for a while 🫤 Really unfortunate business practice. I haven’t experienced the the Creality Print issues you have, but that might be a hardware issue (which sucks).
I like my K1C and k1 max I run them both on orca. Only issue I had was higher bed temps on the k1 max and spotty first layers. My K1C bed mesh is mehh but it’s a small bed and stuff sticks fine
Thanks for the nudge. I've been on the fence for a few weeks about the K1 but was looking for multifilament. I don't care about different colors, but I would like to mix types of filaments. The ones I have been looking for have been out of stock or way over MSRP. I started looking at this combo yesterday and had one in my Amazon cart, but when I went to pay, it was already sold out. I had the same issue with a different printer I was trying to buy before Christmas, but I finally found a return and saved a couple of hundred on it. I used your link and found a discount code that saved me $$$ over what I was going to spend at Amazon. I was able to get the combo plus 4 rolls of filament for $100 cheaper than I was going to pay for just the combo. After I checked out, they offered more deals. One of the offers happened to be the 3D scanner I was thinking about buying. I saved another $120 on that. I'm such a sucker for a deal!
Yes, the longer the melt zone the more you will need to purge for like black to white. All of my custom printers when I swap from for example black to white I have to purge more the longer the melt zone is. The filament likes to cling to the outer wall of the melt zone and takes a long time to clear out.
Thanks for this, very informative. Regarding the Slicer, Lightspeed said something similar. Shame about the colour bleed, for that would be a sow stopper and I think your view that it's likely the nozzle I bet is 100% correct.
Someone else mentioned that the slicer sounds like a mac problem, it may be fine on windows.E Either way I'd still prefer orca hopefully they fix the profiles so the CFS works with it. I have a shop computer ill try it on. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
I'd check the bed mesh and level it as best you can. Then I cheat the z offset a little close in case it gets a higher layer. I haven't spent much time with it after the new update so we'll see. In the video I had the z offset at 0.
Very insightful video. Thanks for the run down on the various areas of the printer, slicer, etc. I have been using the default settings for their Hyper PLA in CrealityPrint and the overhangs/bridges are not good. PETG is obviously worse. I'll try OrcaSlicer to see if that makes a difference. I have also tried to tweak some of the setting around overhangs and bridges, but it's still not great. Have you made changes to these values in either slicer to get better quality?
the nozzle comes with the heat break, not the full length of it melts, only up to the part where the thread is separated, so the melt zone isnt that much longer, but filament may be grubbing as some sort of powder in that tube over that long length
Question: I have been having an extruder motor problem. Can you see it move if you remove the extruder cover, no filament, and activate the "E" axis on the console or through Fluidd ?
What would be your use case? Because I think for many z is not the limiting factor and the market for such a machine is most likely very small. Time to build a custom Voron I guess.
@DerUnbbekante Practical prints in one piece that I currently print in several pieces and combine using heat set inserts and screws or dovetails and glue. Outside of shipping it adds very little to the cost and the footprint yet it allows for substantially larger prints without needing a humongous printer.
The flush volume is not the problem. The problem is you are purging into infill. On Bambu you can turn this off and on. See if you can turn flush into infill option off.
@@TwoMooseToo i may be totally wrong, but from looking at the examples, the bleed is only showing in the layer where theres a color change and internally only (infill). If it was a bleed due to not enough purging, the benchy you showed would have similar color bleed, which it didnt appear so.
0.55 variance in the bed after manual adjusting is insane for a 1500$ product. It could be bad luck, but damn, Creality are not beating the allegations with that stuff. Wish you showed some prints in harsh lighting with non-flattering colors. Saw some minor VFAs, which i’ve seen on every video about this printer, but whenever people show the print quality, it tends to not be up to par for the price range.
after a lot of videos about this, I bought the Prusa XL 5 head, got close to buying this, but seeing the poop and other reviews, thought NO , I do have 2 x K1 MAX, very happy with them, also the Bambu A1 Combo, happy with that, But this, not taking the risk, and I always use ORCA Much better, only problem with XL, No Camera for some reason
If your mission is multi color the multi head is the answer for sure. And I agree my k1 max has been good I only use it for pla same with the A1 I’ll occasionally print petg on that one too
They sent it to me, I’m sure you can ask or just be able to download it at this point. I didn’t tweak anything, prints great out of orca just have it manually select what slot it comes out of as orca doesn’t recognize the CFS yet
that plastic bumper in the cfs roof is stupid..fine idea but why not have rollers up there with springs..would be so much better.ihope some people mod it :)
The AI sensors in the nozzle don’t do anything. Try running a print level with filament just past the sensor in the extruder and the printer will run its code and AI camera and detect no issues.
Yeah most of these AI features don’t do crap lol I typically turn them off. I haven’t tried them much on this machine other than what I did in the video
I’m very glad I didn’t consider buying a K2 Plus until more honest reviews came out. I had a k1 release unit that was an absolute disaster and I ended up buying a Prusa Mk4 because I got so sick of the issues with the K1. This printer is likely not one I’d consider with its existing issues.
Early adopting Creality means you're beta testing and you get no support if they use crap parts. Let others do it and buy their products 6 months after launch. The hardware and software will be mostly baked at that point - How do I know? I'm a former CR-6 SE and K1C owner.
you cant compare the flush volumes with the smalle rprinter because the heating pipe of the nozzle is much much longer on the big printer ....so way more material in it which causes bleed .... its just logic and not a fault. ok maybe they choose "bad" default values in the software ...but 3d printing is always DIY ....so just find the right settings by yourself for black to white ......
Creality print is really buggy in Mac and gives you really poor print quality. when I swapped to the windows version there was no issues and quality improved 100%. But I do agree with you on Creality print not being a good slicer
UNCHECK "flush into objects' infill" in the FLUSH OPTIONS section to get rid of that bleed. That will permit you to reduce your flush volume or at least allow it to auto-set instead of having to increase so much. Also, Sunlu white is whiter than most other whites so using that can help. Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not defending this excessively heavy piece of junk. I have had MANY issues with my K2+ and I am very unhappy with it. CS is horrible and they've resolved NONE of my issues but seem to continue to close my tickets. When it does work, the build size capability is awesome, just not with the price for the amount of issues it has. Thanks for your video.
first question, why you should push the bed down with your hand .... just WHY ???? and why is it negative for you because the auto leveleing will correct the position anyways ?!?!?!??!
I find it interesting that everyone I have heard having issues with Creality Print are using MACs. I haven't really used Creality Print for my K1 since i use Orca. Mainly just used it to see if it would fix my K1 extrusion issues.
It could just be a mac thing. I'm not sure. I have a shop computer i use for my lasers and cncs that's windows ill have to give that a shot. I really like orca I use it for most of my printers that accept it but I always try and give the recommended slicer a shot.
@@TwoMooseToo I use to use Cura when I 1st started up until Orca really hit the scene. My prints are just better quality with it. So I would prefer to use it for sure.
I am not flushing into infill. I have an entire tote full of poop and I made sure the first time I had bleed it was NOT flushing into the infill especially with a light color
we have less time to return 14 days than they expect to ship out3 weeks 😂 i sadly did buy one on a card so i will be canceling first thing in the morning for a 15th ship date...
Typical problems of Creality, software/firmware problems. They want the people to fix it. This printer is amazing, but the software is horrible. Waiting on the full compatibility of Orca
I hate to be that guy but I was confused when I heard "kiddy" printers; the way chinese translates, q is ch, so it should technically be "cheedee" Just FYI
This is my new channel specifically for reviews, My main is Two moose design. I dont have much traction on this one as its new. I haven't tried tpu yet, I did get a few clogs so im a little nervous haha I know for a fact you have to run it off the side you cant place it in the CFS.
creailty print 5.9 they just got a new creailty print 6.0 and it much better not out for the mac yet coming soon this version is good and works and it 10 to 70% faster at slicing my ams works fine with cardboard spool for the bambulab
I appreciate this video, you've successfully made me not purchase a K2 Plus. I was so close to pulling the trigger since all the typical RUclips reviewers all say "IT'S PERFECT", I don't trust those guys anymore lol. I'll keep waiting for a Bambu XL.
I do think its a great printer BUT the multi color bleeding is a pretty big let down. If you want it specifically for that i'd wait for the new version, wait to see what bambu comes out with, drop a good chunk a change on the multi head prusa xl. Print quality and speed has been great for me, I also dont print a ton of multi color.
@@TwoMooseToo Yeah, I've been looking into it for the last few weeks and was about to pull the trigger but the color bleeding is a deal breaker 100%. My issue is I doubt I'll be able to afford a Bambu XL once it finally does come out. In Canada the X1C combo cost me over $2,000 so an XL is definitely going to be pushing $3,000 lol
I think the leaks from Bambu on their next print are still smaller format, just multi tool head now.. so you might be waiting a long time for the Bambu XL. Sorry, not a really good answer right now..
if you see my comment and you're on the wall debating to buy a k2 plus, DONT do yourself a favor. They take ages to get delivered, and they come in with broken parts. I'd rather go to prison than try to talk to their support at this point. Horrible company.
I own pretty much every popular printer and I get comments like this on every video whether it’s bambu, qidi, creality, or flashforge. It’s a game of personal preference, some people love bambu some people hate them. Same goes with every other printer brand.
@@TwoMooseToo ahh yes the personal preference of getting broken 1500$ printer lol I don't think you got his point, look at how many issues are on their forums for the k2 it's wild
@phigolphenis2023 about to cancel my order that supposed to ship sometime round 15th guessing there is a reason they sent them to 10 folks who exchange infomercials for free equipment. Sadly 1500 +prior to any financing charge with a really cost closer to 1900 in my case i think the anycube bambu copy may be the way to go thought??
Let’s be real, there is a reason why Apple is the worlds best selling brand despite it being a walled garden. Just buy a bambu. Giving up convenience just to retain the ability to tinker is beyond stupid.
Use orca slicer for everything I refuse to use a different slicer for another printer if I can't use orca i'm not buying it, I run cardboard spools in my AMS just fine I don't know why people have problems with them I think they put busted up cardboard spools in the AMS and that what caused problems, so this is a large multi colour printer that everyone has been waiting for that sucks at multicolor, I am so glad I didn't pre-order this
I personally hardly use cardboard spools I just get them for testing purposes but I’ve seen people print the plastic rims to go on the outside. Same, or as my favorite hands down. Qidi made an orca clone just slapped their name on it, I hope creality does the same 😆
Its an issue is with the macros (the code), thankfully they are all rewritable if you access the fluid web interface. I have an X1C with AMS and a K2 with CFS neither is perfect and the X1C honestly was worse out of the box at launch. Fortunately for them the out of the box experience back then was a different beast. Unfortunately for the X1C even to this day you cant access the back end stuff to finish fixing their last remaining issues. Not saying the K2 is perfect but at least I've been able to re write most of the issues already before any updates even came out. Including the bed leveling inconsistencies as well as saving the z offset and fixed the cardboard spools being crushed in my CFS.
some have mentioned they dont have issues on windows with the software. I'll have to test it on another computer, either way i prefer orca. Hopefully they fix the CFS issue connecting to orca
I don't understand why "a total of 15 prints" matter when he has around 200 hours on the machine. The K2+ seems rushed in many aspects and I believe they did it to get people to buy before BBL releases their next machine. Hopefully by then, the machine would get updates that would make it a quality printer. I almost purchased this machine due to the hardware, but decided to wait until the usual Creality issues are ironed out.
It is refreshing to see a good honest review video. I own the K2+ and BL printers and you are spot on. Looking at other reviews from others, they make it seems like the K2 is the best devices without flaws. Feels like they just want to get on Creality good side. It prints nice but it does have issues and the slicer Creality Print 5 & 6 are trash. BL printers at least for me are Set it and forget it. My K2 i need to watch it constantly. I hope they will make it better later down the road.

The recent Creality Print updates are for windows only. The clitchy CP is applicable to Mac users only. Creality says the recent slicer uodates will be available for mac users in the very near future. So I think a great majority of your bad experience is due to using a mac comouter to slice. Other reviewers have expressed that. The unicorn nozzle is the reason for auch large flush volumes.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the input! I'm desperate for an update haha Thanks for watching I appreciate it
My buddy got a K2P a month or two ago and he's had to swap out practically all the parts inside for new ones (not out of pocket, Creality has sent them under warranty).

Siempre que se actualiza hay que volver a realizar las calibraciones , esta actualización tiene algunos problemas
Can you use the creality filament driers as a fifth CFS color swapper?
The k2 plus hotend looks like it's really really long, would make sense that it would require more purge volume than bambu?
Thanks for this, very informative. Regarding the Slicer, Lightspeed said something similar. Shame about the colour bleed, for that would be a sow stopper and I think your view that it's likely the nozzle I bet is 100% correct.

It is like the bed probing just isn't working.

the nozzle comes with the heat break, not the full length of it melts, only up to the part where the thread is separated, so the melt zone isnt that much longer, but filament may be grubbing as some sort of powder in that tube over that long length
doesn't it depend on the cutter's location, which is way higher than bambu's, and above the heatbreak too?
Nice review and narration, i was looking for a video showing everyday use of the K2. Please reduce "I don't know".
me either
I don't know how many times he say i don't know.
Question: I have been having an extruder motor problem. Can you see it move if you remove the extruder cover, no filament, and activate the "E" axis on the console or through Fluidd ?
Why are there no tall corexy printers?
I'd love to have one that has a build area of 350x350x1000 or even larger in the Z
What would be your use case? Because I think for many z is not the limiting factor and the market for such a machine is most likely very small. Time to build a custom Voron I guess.

Wait why you only have 8 comments and so few views? On a good video on a hot topic?
Btw how does it handle TPU?
This is my new channel specifically for reviews, My main is Two moose design. I dont have much traction on this one as its new. I haven't tried tpu yet, I did get a few clogs so im a little nervous haha I know for a fact you have to run it off the side you cant place it in the CFS.
@TwoMooseToo ohhh ok that explains it. And thx for the info
creality print 6 is much faster and improved.
It’s only for windows I guess. They’re working on the Mac version now others have said. My shop computer is windows so I’ll have to try it
creailty print 5.9 they just got a new creailty print 6.0 and it much better not out for the mac yet coming soon this version is good and works and it 10 to 70% faster at slicing my ams works fine with cardboard spool for the bambulab
That’s what I like to hear! Can’t wait to try it
I appreciate this video, you've successfully made me not purchase a K2 Plus. I was so close to pulling the trigger since all the typical RUclips reviewers all say "IT'S PERFECT", I don't trust those guys anymore lol. I'll keep waiting for a Bambu XL.
I do think its a great printer BUT the multi color bleeding is a pretty big let down. If you want it specifically for that i'd wait for the new version, wait to see what bambu comes out with, drop a good chunk a change on the multi head prusa xl. Print quality and speed has been great for me, I also dont print a ton of multi color.
@@TwoMooseToo Yeah, I've been looking into it for the last few weeks and was about to pull the trigger but the color bleeding is a deal breaker 100%. My issue is I doubt I'll be able to afford a Bambu XL once it finally does come out. In Canada the X1C combo cost me over $2,000 so an XL is definitely going to be pushing $3,000 lol
Oh what ever they come out with I can guarantee it will be expensive lol
I pulled the trigger on Creality K2 for the opensource. That's it.
I think the leaks from Bambu on their next print are still smaller format, just multi tool head now.. so you might be waiting a long time for the Bambu XL. Sorry, not a really good answer right now..
5:55 That is *not* a good first layer...I wouldn't be happy if my XC1 printed that...
Can confirm Creality Print is very buggy and slow in MacOs, m3 max here. Isn't base on orca? How they can make it worse is beyond me.
The flashes are probably screen shots that are being sent directly to the CCP! Lol
😆😆😆
if you see my comment and you're on the wall debating to buy a k2 plus, DONT do yourself a favor. They take ages to get delivered, and they come in with broken parts. I'd rather go to prison than try to talk to their support at this point. Horrible company.
I own pretty much every popular printer and I get comments like this on every video whether it’s bambu, qidi, creality, or flashforge. It’s a game of personal preference, some people love bambu some people hate them. Same goes with every other printer brand.
@@TwoMooseToo ahh yes the personal preference of getting broken 1500$ printer lol I don't think you got his point, look at how many issues are on their forums for the k2 it's wild
@phigolphenis2023 about to cancel my order that supposed to ship sometime round 15th guessing there is a reason they sent them to 10 folks who exchange infomercials for free equipment. Sadly 1500 +prior to any financing charge with a really cost closer to 1900 in my case i think the anycube bambu copy may be the way to go thought??
Let’s be real, there is a reason why Apple is the worlds best selling brand despite it being a walled garden.
Just buy a bambu. Giving up convenience just to retain the ability to tinker is beyond stupid.
What support?
Use orca slicer for everything I refuse to use a different slicer for another printer if I can't use orca i'm not buying it, I run cardboard spools in my AMS just fine I don't know why people have problems with them I think they put busted up cardboard spools in the AMS and that what caused problems, so this is a large multi colour printer that everyone has been waiting for that sucks at multicolor, I am so glad I didn't pre-order this
I personally hardly use cardboard spools I just get them for testing purposes but I’ve seen people print the plastic rims to go on the outside. Same, or as my favorite hands down. Qidi made an orca clone just slapped their name on it, I hope creality does the same 😆
Its an issue is with the macros (the code), thankfully they are all rewritable if you access the fluid web interface. I have an X1C with AMS and a K2 with CFS neither is perfect and the X1C honestly was worse out of the box at launch. Fortunately for them the out of the box experience back then was a different beast.
Unfortunately for the X1C even to this day you cant access the back end stuff to finish fixing their last remaining issues.
Not saying the K2 is perfect but at least I've been able to re write most of the issues already before any updates even came out. Including the bed leveling inconsistencies as well as saving the z offset and fixed the cardboard spools being crushed in my CFS.
You need a haircut
hardware seems perfect, software is a mess
some have mentioned they dont have issues on windows with the software. I'll have to test it on another computer, either way i prefer orca. Hopefully they fix the CFS issue connecting to orca
I have the Flsun T1 Pro. Junk.
anyone who listens to someone that's done a total of 15 prints on a machine is a joke.
Sorry to upset you. Feel free to make your own videos that are better than mine.
I don't understand why "a total of 15 prints" matter when he has around 200 hours on the machine. The K2+ seems rushed in many aspects and I believe they did it to get people to buy before BBL releases their next machine. Hopefully by then, the machine would get updates that would make it a quality printer. I almost purchased this machine due to the hardware, but decided to wait until the usual Creality issues are ironed out.
Stupid filter exhaust will poison you. The filter itself is shit
Yeah I’d definitely vent it outside if I printed a lot of toxic stuff
Horrible layer.
What? If nathanbuildsrobots sees this video, he may have an absolute meltdown. You mean it isnt the perfect printer? Thats better than bambu x1c?
sound like a toy thats sad
