I know I know. Sorry I was exhausted on only relized that the video exported in Portrait lol. Was going to remove it and redo it but decided not to but on my next video to double check. Sorry about that
I am putting mine on a sold wood desk I can stand on the desk so it going to be safe for the printer, it nice to see the LIVE setup Vs. hiding issues that come up
I am direct and transparent and take the time to show everyone as I go along :) I'm not here for Fame, I just want to share my views on the printer and be as transparent as I can be. Your comment is much appreciated. Thank you
Thank you for your honest rewiev. We need those. It is very common new product is having "childhood" issues, but once Creality will have feedback, they will fix the issues. Evolution makes mistakes in nature too. Prusa had their multicolor systems several years ago. In local school had one, but there was so much issues with this early system that they removed it. Yeah, the amount of poop is crazy. I think it is very useful with big printing projects where one spool is not enought and that you can use different support material.
Thank you for the videos, and also that you speak about the problems you found and showing detailed print quality. I should get my K2 Plus next month, so nice to know if it is good or not.
It is very good right out the box. Some issues but working with Creality to figure everything out. Will post another video on it next week. Like and subscribe to be notified when I posty future videos :)
Thanks so much for your comment. Overall this machine is very good. Like every new product that hit the market, it may have a few kinks along the way but Creality will be there to support and stand behind their product!!! Replacement parts and upgrades won't be an issue unlike some other companies. They truly learned from past machines and mistakes other companies made so it is truly near perfect right out of the box. Hopefully you'll choose a K2 Plus :)
@@michaelcharles2224 Thanks for your time I just found part 1 I understand things break don't worry! TH-cam is a much bigger mess than most think! I kind of need a machine that make little to no nose, and I could only find two the K2 is one of them the K1 Max is a nice but the nose I would upset my neighbours because of where I have put the machine I have but one small to put it, and anything that sounds like a jet engine would not good well for me! Again thanks!
Yes I spent alot of time creating the content to share with everyone and trying to respond to everyone. Wilkl do a better vvideo next time and drink more coffee lol.Appreciate your comment .
Is this your first multi-color system? If so, then you'll pick up a ton of techniques that will allow you to dramatically reduce the poops (purge amount tuning, g-code customization for filament swaps, and even model techniques that can help reduce the number of color changes). I'll admit, though, that the #1 thing I use the AMS for is easy filament selection (it's embarrassing to say that things I should have printed in PETG got done in PLA just because it was loaded...and vice versa). The #2 reason (that the K2's size makes more important), is for filament backup. If you start getting low and aren't sure that you can finish your print with the spool that looks pretty low....just throw another of the same in and let it swap over when the little spool is empty. Also, if you don't care about the color....it's convenient for running out spool tails. :)
Thank you so much for your input. This journey with 3D printers has been quite the ride! I didn't keep the X1C for long because it broke within the first week, and dealing with Bambu's customer service was a nightmare. After a long wait and some serious persistence, I finally got the parts I needed. I fixed it and sold it almost immediately, so I didn’t have much time to play around with it. Someone handed me a broken X1C because they were discouraged, and after I fixed it, I sold that one too. Taking it apart was a nightmare, and its design didn’t sit well with me. But then came the 5 X K1 Max that I own, and now the K2 Plus, which have been a game changer. I’m excited about getting the CFS systems for each of my 5 K1 Max printers once they’re available.
HOLY POOP AND TOWER! Wow that's so much waste. The layer stacking doesn't look awful, but I'm a bit surprised it has issues with some overhangs. Seems like it prints reasonably overall. The size is nice. You definitely got a bargain though. The review embargo is truly bizarre.
Hi, did the file for the poop Shute come with the printer because I am expecting my K2 plus next month as I got it with a reduction in price on a pre order, thank you in advance.
Michael, I just got my new K2 set up and trying to do my first print, a benchy. It won't print and gives me the message, "filament doesn't match printing file. Please check and restart printing." Im not sure what they are talking about. Is it set in the slicer and I have to use a certain filament? Thank you for your help... Jim
Jim, you have to select the filament type and colour in the machine itself. Make sure the filament you choose in the slicer matches what you have selected in the machine itself. Let me know if this helps
@@michaelcharles2224 It doesn't have the CFS with it so I just assume that if I put filament on the spool holder that it should work like my Ender3 v2 does. AM I missing something.
@@jimjohnson1944 In the option before printer, uncheck the enable CFS box. You have to tell the slicer that you are not using CFS. In the machine itself, do not try to use the Benchy which is multicoulored. Use the mono colour benchy
@@michaelcharles2224 I guess I'm not understanding, where in the machine can I type and color. I've scrolled all the places on the monitor and don't see a place to do this.

Definitely something wrong with the slicing on the turtle. Why was there brown on the purge tower and the supports? I don't see any brown on the turtle. Was the infill brown? That would help explain the amount of poop.
the multicolor printing isnt magic.. it has to do a filament change everytime it changes colors. If you are printing 4 different colors on every single layer then that means 4 poops every layer. You could have used red or green filaments for the supports on the turtle print so you would have to do one less filament change every layer and that would reduce the amount of waste
I'm sorry. But since you're not hiding anything, could you please show us how loud the printer is while it is printing instead of putting music over it? I'm blind and would really like to know but I can't see it printing so I'd rather hear it.
The embargo is why I didn't buy one. No reason to get excited about buying one. Instead, they gave everybody a reason to wonder what was being hidden. Thank you for providing this information.
So far your videos seem fine, just a dude spreading the good news about the hottest new printer. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. Really appreciate it
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Mine arrives around the 10th November.
@@anthony566 you going to love it once you get used to it :) Thanks for the feedback
And you welcome
Thanks! Been looking forward to this part two video...
Thanks so much. Sorry about the portrait though. Will do better next time
Mike. Landscape mode bro.
I know I know. Sorry I was exhausted on only relized that the video exported in Portrait lol. Was going to remove it and redo it but decided not to but on my next video to double check. Sorry about that
@@michaelcharles2224 no worries hoping we don’t gotta wait too long. Not much out on the K2 Plus right now.

Ok guys, had a CFS blockage this morning which I fixed and will be putting that in my next video. Stay Tuned!!!
Thanks for uploading. Good video. If you do do any calibrating I'd be really interested to see what you do and how you do it.

Definitely something wrong with the slicing on the turtle. Why was there brown on the purge tower and the supports? I don't see any brown on the turtle. Was the infill brown? That would help explain the amount of poop.
No there was no brown in the file at all. Think it the brown and red together to build the tower made it come out brown. Infil was not changed at all.
can I send a print to the K2 remotely like I can a bambu or do I have to be on the same network?
You can send it remotely
How do you have one so early? I was a very early buyer like within the first few minutes of the 50% sale but I don’t get it for another week or so.
I was in the first 50% off on day one as well. I guess it depends on where you are in the world. Mine arrived Monday morning early
Then how did you get an early release of the K2?
I ordered on Day 1 at 50% off
the multicolor printing isnt magic.. it has to do a filament change everytime it changes colors. If you are printing 4 different colors on every single layer then that means 4 poops every layer. You could have used red or green filaments for the supports on the turtle print so you would have to do one less filament change every layer and that would reduce the amount of waste

Poop is a matter of design and not the machine.
