I am afraid that all this planning to add to the current offering CFS compatibility, is to keep sales on these units moving. If they came out this early and said no it's not compatible, people would wait and sales would dry up. I won't be surprised to find it's too cost prohibitive and won't be pursued. No matter to me because I am enjoying my K1's and Creality is the reason I got into 3d printing...Cheers!
That’s a very good point that I’d not considered
I purchased the K1 Max with the hope/expectation that multi colour could be added to it. Now that they released the K2, without knowing any cost of a CFS upgrade, I think it’s pointless as the difference in cost of the K2 vs the used value (I assume 40% of new +/-) plus whatever the cost of the CFS is probably not a lot of cash.
Might as well just buy the K2.
😂😂😂 had this playing while I was working on something and almost spat my coffee out when I heard my name. Damn right I’m handsome! Haha
I’m very impressed with your answer to my comment with regards to the door smashing issue. I thank you so much for responding. I only have a heavily modified CR10s Pro, so not too much of a Creality fan, but you have earned my subscription, and I’m looking forward to more of your Creality news videos. 😁
what about the nozzels size? i had to use a 0.8 mm in to my k1C but in the slicer there is no way to set it up, i had to change all the setting manually.
Very Informative Video Sam. Really answered some valid questions regarding retro fittings possible solutions. Glad your home safe. Your credibility and honesty has never been in question with me good sir. Can't wait for the Preorder Launch.
Bed leveling? Under bed peizo? Eddy scanner? Lidar? Flowrate/PA calibration?
Thanks Sam, good to see you back in blighty.
I have had bad experience with bed leveling sensors being not consistent from creality anything to help with that on the K2?
My k1 took a lot of work to get it to where its printing now (you can watch my timelapse shorts lol) what are they putting in place to make sure the k2 doesn't have all the issues the k1 has and still has ?
Thanks for the info Sam, well explained as usual. Will be interesting to see how it goes compared to my Bambu, but im liking that all the manufacturers are coming out with color.. Bambu's response will be good im sure, but how long will it take them? Competition benefits us :)
Thanks for all the info. (Glad you are feeling well.)
How about the nozzle change? Have they made it a quick option? Replacing nozzles on the k1 is a pain
Great video Sam, keep the content coming. It does not make sense to me that CFS power and data cable comes out of the top of the 4 into 1 buffer. It looks like the lid of the CFS could even put strain on that cable and buffer port.
Hey Sam.
Great videos - I'm new to the channel but I will be subscribing!
Out of interest, if you don't buy the CFS, where does the single roll of filament mount? Does it go on the back of the unit like the K1C? I couldn't see anywhere obvious for this.
It’s on the back right hand side there is my other video which shows the mounting point :) thanks for the sub
What price range are we looking at? I have a k1, k1 max and am also a backer on the new Phrozen Arco.
12:55 that retraction sounded pretty grindy. While you were there with the K2, did you notice a lot of grindy or other unsettling sounds coming from the machine? Any excessive vibrations or rattling?
As for the poopshoot at the back I guess they do that because they have the space there. One option is to connect the poopshoot to a drawer underneath so that the waste can be removed directly. Many have built this into their shelves as a DIY solution. Manufacturers could integrate it directly into their printers similar to the drawer that Creality has built into the Falcon 2 Pro or they could offer it as an accessory.
Glad to see you back, Hope your getting some rest, long flights can sneak up on you.
Yeah it got me this time !! Thank you
Wow thanks for this.
Its Night and day quieter than a K1!!!
Glad you're feeling better mate 🙏
I’m very keen to find out more information about the K2 plus.
Not particularly interested in the multi filament system, however if the price is right, I would buy it as well.
Question for you Sam and Creality. Will the K2 machines be capable print CF/exotic filaments and has a Ethernet port.
Also will they be available in Australia for a reasonable price.
Yes it’ll be able to print all the filaments suggested and I hear various others, with the 350 degree hotend and heated chamber. It does have the Ethernet port and there are various security features to that port. They have an office in Australia and if you buy one I’d be happy to personally deliver your unit to you. @creailty let’s do this
Hey Sam! I would love to see a video talking about whether or not to catch a Creality printer on sale right now and get the “ams” system later when they release the upgrade kit or to hold off and wait for the k2 series to release.
Would make great short!
Dual exhaust fans, but the carbon filter is no longer externally accessible like the K1? Very disappointing, will make it difficult to mount piping to an exhaust system.
I do not think usb being a huge issue, using a USB adapter cable it can be routed any where you want. I am sure some owners will come up with part to move it on the cfs
Can the cfs system be mounted remotely - like on a shelf above the printer? My concern is the amount of us who have to print with the lid removed to stop extruder clogs?
I should imagine so since it supports having 4 of them like Bambu does and there's no way you're fitting 4 on top of the unit itself 😅
Has there been any info on how the ams/cfs system could work on the v3? I recently upgraded from v2 to v3 (early adopter!) but was on the fence with the BL A1. Couldn't wait so went for the simple route of v3. If I had waited I might have gone for the v3 plus, but since viewing your videos about the potential of cfs for the v3 I am quite excited about multi colour printing on what I have without buyers remorse kicking in now the A1 is back on sale
It’ll be similar to the Kobra 3
@@TheRealSamPrentice Hoping for a Kobra 3 Max.
I don’t want to know why they don’t have anything about it on their website. It’s announced and there isn’t even a landing page for it.
3d chameleon on that k1? How's it working out?
I really hope they used a thicker aluminum bed plate. That would solve so many leveling/first layer issues. I've got my K1 Max pretty dialed now (over 1,000 print hours) but still have to heat soak the bed before printing to be consistent. I put a thicker bed plate on and it was amazing. Unfortunately the silicone heater on it died and had to go back to original
Question, Should I wait for the K2 Plus or go for a discounted K1c / Max?
I want to look into the rabbit hole and get my first 3D printer, currently looking at the K1c and the K1 Max but the Max is a little tight for my budget, also guessing the K2 will be at or above the Max's price. Bambu seems hard to find in ZA so I don't really see that as an option.
I am stuck in the same boat! The k1 and k1c are a little too small as far as build volume goes for me but I’m stuck between whether I should catch the k1 max on sale, pickup a bambu A1 or just wait for the k2 series to release and save my money until then?!?
@@0GStinkyPinky and I really want an enclosed unit, mainly for dust.
if there is such a question, then you do not have a specific task for this printer, it is stupid to think that it will appear with the printer, I would recommend waiting, so the choice will be greater and you will probably take a different model altogether
I would grab a super cheap Ender 3 V3 SE and use it till you know what you need.
Looking at Anycubic new color system vs CFS and Bambu. The BL and CFS have motor driven spools and Anycubic does not have motor driven spools. The motor driven ones look like retract is quite long and takes a bit of time while the Anycubic uses four tubes to extruder, no driven spools and retract appears to be short with I guess the extruder during all the work. Can you comment on pro/con of the two methods?
Well my concern is on the waste side, it’s really only tool head printers that’s seem to overcome the terror of the purge, Bambu more recently introduced a purge reduction method that looks pretty interesting while the Kobra 3 to
Me looks like a rip on the A1. The cfs has a pushing mechanism on the back of the printer but still has drivers in the cfs unit. My experience on the Bambu is them over working and delaying my prints which is a little annoying. Let’s be fair until this system is treated to a real battering we simply won’t know how good it is, all of the footage coming out right now seems to have a Creailty engineer stood right next to it in case it craps out.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Thanks for the reply - everything you said is spot on and strait forward. Like many we just have the itch for multi-color experience. BL environment of over control keeps me away and I'll just wait out Creality CFS info. I'm happy with Creality (Ender 3 Pro now have KE).
Crealiyt multicolor system
Ke, v3 plus Does it fit?
Sam on your experience should i wait for this or get a p1p??
This.
Ok, for Suggestions : Usb on side sucks, CFS needs a heater for dehumidification/drying, poop chute should come out the right side or even to the bottom below the heat plate.
Creality please get all that done before you get the one I got preordered today shipped LOL :)👍
That’s what I’ve been saying!!!!! They did try the heater in the CFS though bad results
Good to hear you're back in good health mate. Now qq, what is that green attachment behind the K1 at around 11:35? 👀
That looks to me like a part of a 3D Chameleon. It's an automatic color change system.
Hahaha yep
Glad you all didn’t see the new Bambu printer in this room
18:07 Correction, outside dimensions: 495 x 515 x 640mm
Hi! Does the K2 Plus use the same nozzle as the K1C?
My guess is that it is the same as the CoreXZ Ender 3 V3. So, the same nozzle at least.
Sam I thought the v3 ke and the Se would be getting the ams am i wrong at this?
Pretty sure it is just the V3 and V3 Plus.
Thanks brother, i appreciate your open honesty!
Will the K2 have closed loop stepper motors?
yes
Great video about the Creality K2.
That poop chute is SO small. Filament is going to get stuck in that A LOT.
It’s funny how people complain about companies “copying” Bambu labs…. This is competition and it’s only good for end users more competition breeds better products at cheaper prices. I’ve only been in 3D printing for about a year and I can’t believe how much it has moved forward in just that time
I don't understand it either. Nothing would be worse than a single manufacturer dominating the market.
Here's the thing....its only jumped ahead so far so fast because of bambu...and creality is profiting from another company hard work
@ladida26 arguably Bambu are only here thanks to Creailty. One hand washes the other, no?
@TheRealSamPrentice wrong...prusa is pretty much the father of all of this....he expanded the reprap project to make 3d printing where it is now...creality copied his I3 3d printer style...as they copy everything else...its the Chinese thing to do
That’s very true
I know it's bed-slinger vs an enclosed printer, but how does the k2 and or k1 compare to the ender 3 v3/plus other than sizes?
I find that space seems to be a huge game changer and having the 'poop chute' on the rear of a printer now requires you to use more space... which for me invalidates their size dimensions if you need to throw a bucket behind the printer or even make some kinda slide going into a small metal can for disposal...
That, and as much fun as it is saying you can print 16 colors... or 20...i imagine how much space that takes up simply to not have to change filament... it's only good for someone with an entire studio for only 3d printing to put it all in.
Overall the k2 seems nice but it's it worth it over a k1 or k1 max? I think the k2 is kind of lax, same speed, few new features that you don't really need, and multicolor... which the majority of people printing will even buy if it isn't affordable.
Thanks for the video, I'm only printing as a hobby, and make things for my other hobbies... i think the k1 max would be the next upgrade if anything (whenever my ender 3 v3 plus gets here).
I'll be excited to see how they compare
I just watched your ender 3 v3 plus video showing the extra y motor and small differences...
Now... to wait the extra week it'll take for my printer to ship from the us warehouse :(
The the K1 and the V3 was made from the start to have those kit,s this is in progress sence last year
Looks like a high end build. Annoying they still use smooth idler pulleys on the toothed side of the belts. Hope that doesn’t still introduce the VFA as we have seen with the K1 series.
Wait and see I guess !!
Awesome video Sam. I’m patiently waiting for this printer. Need another dual filament printer. Having faith if that makes sense
Rumour is it’ll be out early
我也在等待k2 plus上市，想买这个新机！
一切及时
there are only so many ways you can make a product everyone is asking for so.... ''clones'' is a dumb way to look at these products. People need to stop being for hyper critical about this small market. I don't see anyone in the comments or doing reviews making a new design for bed slingers or core XY machines??? Everyone wants a $3000+ machines for penny's.
Exactly, if they want different go buy a XL. It will cost an arm and a leg though. If you want it affordable, this is what we get it's a simple concept people just do not understand.
Nearly every printer review has someone in the comments saying it is just a copy of this that or the other. Psychiatrists must have a name for that phenomenon.
Nice video very informative.
Activated carbon filter on the K2plus?
but I still like the qidi q1 pro probably because of the active camera and the quality is good , i have k1 max and i love it
Bambu did nothing that hadn't been done before. They simply packaged and marketed well so many neophytes saw these features first in the Bambu. It was all there before.
It’s all in the presentation
While Creality will sell their products to anyone, I believe no one commenting here are the target customer. Make units plug & play and sell them to any/all fabrication/mfg companies. The worldwide market is ready for a change in how business is done. We could mention the apparent improvements and changes added to the k2 machine (k2 series?) like a longer filament tube outside the wire chain and how it doesn't hit the lid or the different x axis guide ways. How many people complained the filament mount on the k1 series was on the back of the cabinet and not on the side?
should be time to buy a palette 3?
I’ll jump in the Time Machine and head back to 2021
@@TheRealSamPrentice I mean, maybe, here comes more AMS machines, the price would go down and with a palette I could update my old 3v2 ender, right?
I hope this will push Bambu lab to make an even bigger and better 3d printer.
Looks very promising!
Creality had a rocky start with the k1, i am a k1 owner and love it. I got lucky and didnt have any issues. But if creality wants to stay in the race they need to have there launch printers work straight from launch, basic things like hotends and extruders being bad designs at launch is a really bad look considering how basic they really are.
I got mine this past Dec, Had a gen 1 extruder and hot end. Nothing but issues. bought a gen 3 extruder and microswiss hot end. still have vfa and an uneven build plate. So if the k2 doesn't impress greatly I will be jumping ship to another company
should i wait or should i buy a kobra 3?
Kobra 3s are at an amazing price. I hope it is good. Surprised Anycubic don't have a Babu Labs clone yet.
Part of my favorite was being able to tune my printer myself i feel like these new machines are taking away from some user experience
While you are talking to Creality and just about any manufacturer you need to tell them to get their act together with profiles. Great it works out of the box but not as well as it should without a proper profile. They particularly forget different nozzle sizes. It makes me suspect it gives the reviewers an out because they frequently say the problems in their prints are just due to a poor profile.
Really good nice info
Meh, the build size is nice over the K1 Max but the AMS system is last years or the year before news! People want less waste multi color options not more AMS systems! Can do 4 colors on a K1/MAx with a 3D Chameleon for $179 so not much groundbreaking here. This is a little better option with the poop shoot and you don't need some of you build plate for a purge block like the 3D Chameleon but it is only a marginally better option!
Thanks Sam
At the end for me all I want is a printer that is as user friendly and my laser printer.
Not having a heater in the CFS is pretty stupid. In higher humidity climates, a spool heater is a must for certain filaments. Ideally, 1 CFS would have 4 separate heated zones, but I understand this would be costly for a mid-level printer. Creality should have made each CFS to heat to a specific temp so you can print up to 4 different materials with 4 CFS units. Alternatively, to avoid copying Bambu, they could have made individual heated spool modules, so we can add a module as needed.
On an unrelated note, did they make the build plate thicker? The K1 Max stock bed warps too easily.
Well anycubic managed the heater in there one. I agree with you tho! The bed appeared to be thicker on the k2
You are the enemy of the rabid bambu-fan-boys herd. As a bambu user, I have to be very careful to not even insinuate that it may somehow be the machine when I ask for help . I actually feel that competition is good and if creality wasn’t there Bambu would command a huge premium. Another thing about competition is that if it is clean, it will drive much better products. But, right now, Bambulab machines are the apple of consumer 3D printing, so I am happy with it.
I’ve got 10 Bambu’s so really they would be mocking themselves.
Oh Jesus Sam, you've been gone for a while... and now you're back and making contact already. I only have 1 question, why the North Korean haircut? Lololol
Did you not see my £1 hair cut video ?? Check it out it’s a short
What do you do with your old printers? I could accept one if your really want to give it away 😅
Sounds like I’d be fortunate to find someone like you! Where are you ?
@@TheRealSamPrentice That sound better outcome than i ever could imagine of this message heh. I live in Sweden.
@@TheRealSamPrentice ?
@@freddes3385 you paying for shipping ?
@@TheRealSamPrentice I have to check the shipping cost and how it works, what 3d Printer are we talking about?
Weirdly enough both (benchy and spiderman) multi-color prints were just a layer change print, at least the benchy for sure, and spiderman was so thin that you couldn't see the different color change on layers if any. A proper multi color print with 2/3/4 colors on the same layer would add more trust in the CFS / AMS unit!
Hmm. Now I just got used to call Creality owners for "Tinkeres" and Bambu owners for "Poopers"... What IS the world coming too..Sighhh..
LoL Bamboo Labs copied other people's ideas but added much more user friendiness. Someone else will do that and add more. Competition is good for the consumers.
Cool beans
Bambulab is the apple of 3d printing. no matter how many other companies make bigger or " better" printers according to them, bambulab will always top the cake.
They need to do it for at least 20 years for that honor.
Mate all creality printers are bad there on the k1c and it is still bad quality i have the s1 pro and ender 3 v3 ke and the new bed level does not work right . Bambu is my next printer can not keep been tight and buying crap . I bet the k2 will be really bad has there k1 was rubbish they made loads of changes and its still got issues . Its a shame has they sound good on paper but in the REAL world are BAD .
Hmm, I poop from the rear. Would seem odd pooping out of any other side 🤔
Yes! Poop maybe from the left or right side?
I’ve heard you poop’ing to be fair which has always made me wonder what direction you go in
@@TheRealSamPrentice It is all about angles and direction, not about sides 😂
A 350×350 XY print area is really interesting, but why do you have to combine it with a height of 350 mm? As far as I'm concerned, it's very rare for me to exceed 100 mm in height. In the same vein, why always have a square bed? If one day a manufacturer made a printer with a print volume of 400×300×250 (XYZ) I'd probably be the first to buy it...
Well Any Delta printer, and LulzBot TAZ Pro Long Bed but its $8k - Square has always been attractive, some companies have tired different sized beds in the past tho.
About time lol
Lol
That aint no K2 Plus!!! Its a Bambu X1 Carbon with a different extruder and a bunch of CREALITY stickers!!!!
copying 1 for 1!!
same ams system 16 colors max
same changing filament cleaning mechanism
same mistake of tube dragging over glass covering
all they added was stickers and a y splitter on the back
Who actually cares? BL printer is using all copied technology too. Not only did BL copy and take open source technology, they locked it down so you can't actually use the free open source technology they copied. Are you crying about that as well?
Why is that bad, that is like saying all cars with 4 wheels are cpycats.
Now chinese companies are copied by them selfs
the Chinese have been copying all their lives and have already flown ahead of everyone in development, so for them copying is not a curse word but praise
Creality the cloning bar lowering company. it might as well have bambu written on it. Oh well, guess the Fanboys will enjoy it.
The way your camera slightly moves around is making me dizzy
Sorry was trying something new, in the latter shots it doesn’t do that
How long for k series multicolour, or just buy a bampoo
My best guess is the latter part of this year, but if multicolour is important to you right now, then go for the bambu
@@TheRealSamPrentice manual changing has been ok so far even with hueforges, but I'd rather stay with a printer I already have fine tuned tbf.
