Anyone else Pre-Ordered the K2 Plus?

Found here: - https://www.crealityofficial.co.uk/products/creality-k2-plus-3d-printer

I managed to bag one of the cheaper pre-orders during their event. Paid just under 1k for the Printer and the AMS system.

I'm really excited for its arrival, looks like a great printer.

My prints that I sell are over 330mm tall. Thus a Bambu x1c would NEVER be big enough, and Bambu has no plans it seems to make a bigger printer. 256 * 256 is a terribly small print volume, such a shame.
The K2 Plus has a 350 * 350 print bed with a 350mm print height. Perfect for my needs.

Unfortunately, they sent me an e-mail, advising that shipping issues to the UK have caused a delay. Mine will ship within November.
I fully expect, I'd only see it in the new year to be honest. However, I do not mind the delay too much.

Has anyone else bagged a pre-order?
 
Creality is not a company I would preorder from personally, there always seems to be too many issues on release. Like the k1's extruder, probably the most important aspect of a printer.

But fingers crossed they come good this time, would be nice to give bambu a kick up the arse for a larger print volume.

I understand your point here.

However, If it turns out to be a dud, I'll just get my money back from my credit card xD

I'm hoping they have learnt some vital lessons from the previous printers, after all, they seem to reuse parts a lot.
 
if you are selling then machine will pay for itself.
for most people is the best bang for buck.

They were talking about K2 a lot but then it got quiet. No reviews etc..
i am interested in their AMS. If its klipper based it might work with other printers :D
 
They delayed the delivery of the Pre-Orders. So not arrived yet.

They say, should arrive Mid December, but getting anything more specific is difficult.
 
My k2 plus arrived.

It's a massive leap.

The creality cloud has also come along way.

I'm able to find a model, such as a duck. Slice it on the app. Send it to printer on the app. And check it's progress with the built in camera. All from 5 miles away.

The quality needs some work. But that will be just some new profile tweaks.

Very very impressed with it

I dunno

Depends what you do.

My prints exceed 300mm bed sizes frequently. And even if under 250mm the heights go up to 320. So the likes of a Bambu would never work.

So this printer is a game changer for my needs.

My previous printer for big prints was a 400x400x400 bed slinger. But it's max speed was 30mms.

One of my prints I sell used to take 2.5 days, I did one yesterday in under 9 hours!
It's an absolutely massive improvement and will allow me to increase my weekly throughput.
Was forced to limit my sales of the large prints to 2 per week. Now I can get two done in 24hours. Especially considering I can start a print from home, when the printer is in my office 3+ miles away.

I should have it paid off in 3 months. And may buy a second.
 
Fair play then, one of the guys that used to work at my place does the whole 3d printing thing and he's done pretty well from it, personally I cba with the admin :D
 
Loving mine had it past few weeks, got in at the best 45% discount tier with all the goodies.

Before delivery though I was pretty nervous as people were getting them with shattered glass and a lot seemed to get with feet smashed off as it weighs a ton about 50kg.

Want another CFS now they are back in stock.

How are you finding the ghosting / ringing?

I've found that the surfaces of my prints are never that clean.
Not layer inconsistency issues really.. just an orange peal effect of sorts.
