NEWS – The color-capable K2 Plus has been a hot topic, since Creality, a world-leading 3D printer brand, heralded it in the spring of 2024. “Your dreams in color come true” as the K2 Plus x CFS Combo hits the shelve on November 11. Unifying multicolor, speed, intelligence, and a 350mm cubed format in one, the 3D printer combo is the ultimate evolution of the esteemed K series and the next-level powerhouse for pros and hobbyists.
All-new CFS for Multicolor Creativity
CFS (Creality Filament System) holds the key to multicolor 3D printing. It is in essence a premium filament box with four slots, each fitting a 1kg filament spool. Four CFS units connected can instill the splendor of 16 colors into a single 3D model, saving the need for extra painting afterward. In addition, CFS allows users to create supports with snap-away or water-soluble materials. Now, support removal is a breeze and does not leave support marks.
CFS is utterly intelligent with automatic filament selection, switch, and relay. Upon loading an RFID filament, CFS can read its color and type, and sync such info to the printer. It can also relay a running-out spool with a similar one installed, minimizing interruption and waste. Besides, the CFS offers air-tight storage with a temperature and humidity display and also includes a spring-loaded batten bar to keep the spool from jumping out of the slot.
A King-sized & Quiet Powerhouse
The Creality K2 Plus is an advanced pro-level 3D printing powerhouse. Its extraordinary 350*350*350mm build volume can easily suit the aspirations of making presentation-ready prototypes and end-use parts. K2 Plus is the first desktop 3D printer using industry-grade FOC step-servo motors on all axis. Notably, each motor offers up to 32,768 controllable micro-steps per revolution*. No bumps while printing at 600mm/s with an incredible acceleration of 30000mm/s².
Not only this, K2 Plus takes on an ultra-rigid “exoskeleton”, extremely robust XYZ axis, and a tight enclosure. The working noise at 300mm/s of K2 Plus is only 45dB, no louder than someone typing on a laptop PC. No doubt, it is a creative beast you can work next to.
Master of Materials & Print Quality
K2 Plus features an actively heated chamber up to 60°C, which is golden to forge strong prints in ASA, PPA, and other high-end materials. Also, the direct drive extruder assembly enables 350℃ printing with a maximum 40mm³/s flow and it is clog-free & easy to maintain. The nozzle tip is made of hardened steel for dealing with wear-resistant engineering materials.
The print quality is just phenomenal. Its heavy-weight design reduces vibrations. The dimensional accuracy of prints reaches 0.05mm, and there won’t be any ringing at any print speed. Meanwhile, two auxiliary cooling fans are installed on both sides of the chamber for perfect part cooling. So the 3D shapes and styles will be set before any stringing and warping can happen.
AI & Automation for a Seamless Workflow
K2 Plus comes with 18 smart sensors. Everything is automated and closely monitored. It has two AI cameras. One is on the chamber side to watch over spaghetti failure, idling, etc. Another is on the toolhead for flow rate optimization. No more underfeeding and overfeeding.
The printer gets out of the box like a household appliance. With two Z-axis independently motorized, it can auto-adjust bed tilt before auto leveling. So, everyone can get an expert-level first layer hands-down. It also exceeds expectations with active belt tensioning, air purification, high-speed dual-band WiFi, etc.
The software mix is renewed across the board. The latest Creality OS supports multi-filament management. The Creality Print has been completely rebuilt to support multicolor 3MF models. The Creality Cloud APP offers even better 3D models and features.
Committed to pushing the limits of imagination, the K2 Plus Combo redefines the experience of desktop 3D printing. Go to creality.com to find out more.

The launch of the K1 was a disaster. Clearly the whole multicolor thing caught them really off guard when bamboo announced its release date or something and they turbo rushed it, like both the high-speed machine itself even without the attachment, but then the multicolor thing they also rushed. I lost faith in that company completely. really horrible experience. Their support people that are Stateside are very very knowledgeable and they will help you to the fullest extent that they are able to with anything that goes wrong but I mean like the frustration of having to replace a part nearly every time you do a print for like a year is just unbearable
Oh and recently the glass door on mine just exploded spontaneously and I’m not exaggerating or using like a hyperbolic word…. it literally exploded
I also knew to watch out for this but if you’re going to buy one you need to make sure that you know exactly who you are buying it from because there’s literally a store called the creality store or something and it has a website that’s like crealitystore(com) or whatever and it’s not creality. it’s just like a generic 3D printer vendor, it’s a drop ship. And those people will literally sell you a machine that is completely effective and you can’t do anything about it whereas if you buy it from the right store they will replace things up to a point they’ll bug you about it and make you send them things that you know tells them absolutely nothing about whether or not you’re at fault for the machine breaking and then they replace it without complaint
The thing with flash Forge and I haven’t owned a bambu yet so I don’t know how that goes but yes flashforge has proprietary parts and that can be sort of annoying to deal with but the machines work if you use them exactly in the way that they tell you and you don’t mess with the settings a lot you just do exactly what they tell you in the instructions or support person online the machine will work and it will print perfectly. And they will also replace nozzles and hot ends and things like that without a lot of complaint like I don’t think I ever had an issue of getting flash forwards to replace nozzles even when I wasn’t asking for that they would just do it because I was trying to figure out why it would keep clogging and they would just send me a new one
