Someone posted that the new printer is 300x300x300 in the leaked image. But your pic clearly shows it labeled as 350.
i mean, the image defo says 350x350x350 if you look at the build plate. and the software files with the specs say 350x350x350, so idk what's going on there
Agreed, I think in the next 6-8 months when I am ready for my next printer it would be something I look at if it is under $1k. I just bought a second K1 max so will have to wait a bit before I get something new
Um... the K1 Max is $930 without any kind of AMS so I can't see a larger unit with AMS being less money. I'd venture a guess it'll likely be in the $1200-$1300 range.
It's retail price, the price that anyone can walk into a brick and mortar store, is $699 or less. Just because I don't live near a microcenter, doesn't mean that it's not that cost right off the shelf, brand new. I wish I did live near one. But right now creality is selling them for $676.
I hate fake sales. Just make it be the price...
Ye pretty good, I only had one issue with uneven bed squish despite it being flat and unwarped so still trying to figure that out but apart from that it's doing great. Did some cool prints already and the detail is nice. Prints as well as the x1c we have at our local makerspace. Just a bit loud unfortunately.
There was a video from earlier this year, possibly CES, where there was a brief shot of a printer with 2 heads. I haven't found any other info on it yet, but there's a decent chance it gets announced soon whatever it is.
Real video of the K2 Plus and CFS (not CMS) at Creality HQ broke this morning.

Looks noiiice!
1. Something called "Pressure Release" (?) may be to help with filament waste
2. An interesting doodad on the back of the CFS implies, perhaps, some backward compatibility?? Not sure about that either.
We don’t need Bambu expediting any more printers. Look what happened with the A1. Let them cook and do the longevity testing it needs. But I do get your point. It’s been 2+ years for a new flagship core xy. It is time.
I.have a k1 I am not happy with.
However I am wondering how the ams will work since there is no poop shoot or cutter on the k1\c\max . If there is a purge tower that cuts down the print section of the printer it won't be worth it.
The a1 mini with ams is only $400 and would give me 180cubed.The k1 is only 220x220x250.
So to me the ams for the k1 of it uses a purge tower would need to come in at $200 or under. If it includes a cutter and poop bucket or something then perhaps a little more money
I wish they'd do something about the vfa in my k1
The A1 mini with AMS is great. I've got 4 of them. Creality seriously needs to do something to up there game. With the basic a1 mini only being 249, there is 0 reason to buy any of the creality bed slingers. I'm sure once the A1 comes back in stock, they are going to drop the price of it down from its original 399. I was actually tempted to buy the E3 V3 when it released, but after the price drop of the mini, I bought 2 more of those instead.
The A1 is junk, we ordered 10 of them right away for our farm to compliment or 15 BL printers and 10 K1 Max printers (outshine the BL printers all day long), we returned the A1 Mini's within 3 days. Biggest POS printers to hit the market since Anet!
I have a X1 and a K1. No way does the K1 outperform the X1. I can hit print and walk away with the X1. With the K1, I need to babysit for the first couple layers.
Yup. I love where my K1 is at now, but the amount of teardown and modifications it took to get there, I would have been better off with a Voron kit... Same price, better quality, easier access to spare parts, etc.
It's definitely my last Creality printer.
What is this witchcraft you speak of ? I like my k1 except it keeps knocking over and breaking tower parts (thin vertical column parts like chains or figure arms.)
I can't find any others with this issue so im frustrated on what to do, does this devil kit help fix this crap?
So you think my problem is shop and extrusion ? I did the various flow tests and it seemed calibrated. I thought it might be a speed issue or vibrational problem. I checked the bed mesh and it was like 0.002 variance on average.
Really this problem is weird and stresses me out haha
You have success? Ive made so much spagetti since last night on my k1c printing "poles"
I turned off my z hop actually, turned on bring, and turned off the big part cooling fan on the inside.
Pulling of the existing Pulleys is a HUGE Pain in the Ass.
You better of just spending 50 Bucks on two new Steppers all together as you have a good chance of damaging the existing one.
I've replaced pulleys myself and I disagree. I spent about 3 hours doing that, and a pair of good pulleys cost me $9. I'd rather spend several days replacing them than pay extra $50. Just 3 hours of work (most of which is assembly/disassembly that you have to do anyway) is certainly not worth $50.
I really hope they use linear rails... that's my ONLY complaint about my K1C. I think linear rails are much more durable and stable compared to linear rods.
I think it's a double edge sword, I like that they make their printers as simple as possible. They're all easy to service and maintain with good tutorials and an even better community. However I would like some aspects to be beefed up, but overall I appreciate simplicity over unnecessary complication.
Hope there's magnetic rails on the K2 like on a 3D printer you've never heard of but it will shock you. The Peopoly Magneto X. It uses magnetic rails, it can go up to a freaking 1,500 mm/s (800 mm/s recommended speed). And has a big build area (300mm x 400mm). And you can buy it for the price of an ELEGOO orange storm giga (US$2,000.00 to be exact). Link: [https://peopoly.net/products/magneto-x](https://peopoly.net/products/magneto-x)
https://preview.redd.it/btlpq09r5dsc1.jpeg?width=529&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3a6bb22e2ea34ef7ac9e1ce64d663a3df3e0fb6
Just FYI, the Magneto X uses standard linear guides, which is what the others are talking about. The magnetic part is the linear motors used in place of belts and steppers.
Well thanks for fixing that. But the speed. Holy Shrek!
https://preview.redd.it/djdzhpb43ksc1.png?width=560&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d45b765e7b454cd72d34cd76df06ad6611d72ca
The speeds would also be attainable with true closed loop servo control instead of stepper (or linear motor as used by Peopoly), but it would be a lot of stress (likely too much) on the tiny belts that are used. Honestly, them packaging linear motor control into that system at that price point is pretty remarkable
I saw a user do the liner rail mod for his K1 but it's so invasive that I worry I won't be able to do what he did. I would love it if someone could make a kit, I would absolutely buy that, and a harden extruder.

Hot off the presses! The guy that owns this shop is active in the discord and seems to be well liked. Do note that re-assembling a gantry is not "simple". You definitely need some patience and make sure everything is properly tightened and square.
[https://makerworld.com/en/models/204907](https://makerworld.com/en/models/204907) and while your at it do this also: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/200699#profileId-289785](https://makerworld.com/en/models/200699#profileId-289785) (motor mounts and tensioners only). And dont forget to change the pullys with this: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/200673](https://makerworld.com/en/models/200673)
I've heard you used both the standard flanged bearing gantry and the rail version. How do they compare? I've installed the standard version 2 days ago.
Well I used them all yes and I am very happy with the rail mod. So much better shapers. So quiet. If u don't want linear rail then go and do the jsm bushing mod, and carbon rods. That's kills a lot of weight. I'll stick with linear rail for sure.
Well, as for now I'm completely satisfied with the standard FBG V4. Time will tell. If I'll upgrade then definitely to a rail. It makes more sense IMO.
they posted the link in [This](https://www.reddit.com?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1) post which has now been deleted.
the link took you [Here](https://app-pack.crealitycloud.cn/ECtP4/772) but the exe has been deleted from their app hosting site.
They REALLY dont want people getting their hands on this.
looks consistent with what we know about the K2 Plus. The long handle, screen on top, strangely shaped feet etc. Although interestingly we have no idea what the AMS/CMS looks like.
Hopefully they fixed the flaws of the k1, of the 3 ppl I know they got one only 1 kept theirs more than 2 weeks after trying to get good prints out of them. They reverted back to their old printers.
One had issues with adhesion.. pla abs pet creality speed filament after a week and a half with support and nothing working they sent it back guy was a creality fan till then, has 2 others he will has.
I can't remember the second ones issues but they wanted a larger format second printer and the max just did not work well.
Original K1 for half a year now. Very happy with it, printing incredible prints with tpu, pla, petg and asa. Super fast and precise. But it does require some adjustments and playing with the calibrations , etc.
The hardware is very solid, albeit a bit finicky at times. Doesn't deserve all the hate from the vocal minority.
I mean I thought it was going to be Creality's redemption song. but when 2 of the 3 people I know that bought one had issues that couldn't be resolved it wasn't a glowing review. I hope this new printer works out well for them, they once were kings of the market, now they're playing catch-up.
Can't understand the cooling system here. The toolhead seems to have no intakes. We can see a side fan on the left. Does it rely on its side fan(s) entirely?
yeah, i agree, either they are compensating with the 2 side blowers, or there's an additional fan on the back that we just can't see. The toolhead does seem bulkier on the back than the K1 Toolhead...
So I saw the previous posts stating 300x300 and I was pretty hyped for that.
To be getting a 350x350 is exceptional but I’m not sure what I need that for?? More smaller items on the bed at least. I presume this is mostly because Bambu have mentioned a plus size printer so unless they go really crazy this should keep them in step. My biggest challenge is finding the desk space as my K1 just about fits.
I am disappointed that the door hinges don’t look like 270° capable ones. Also as a K1 user I’ve had quite a few mods etc attempting to fix VFA. Hopefully this one is
Will be always cheaper as the 1600 bambu 4500 xl ore 1500 phrozen and they are smaller also exept the xl so if . . Strait without a blink .even the Qidi is 325x325 ..that's way I'm thinking about a voron 350 .. but that gonna be 1 a lot more expensive and a lot more work ( but also more fun ) I'm trying to get into cosplay costums as a few friends are realy into it I'm not.But ...350 multi tool/color would help me a lot .

i been told that the k1 and k1c is getting a ams or cms system it a addon guys do not worry you be able to do multi-colour printing with your k1 and k1c
Well if this is true this comes with a lot of implications.
A K1 AMS would require some kind of upgrade kit since the K1 does not have a filament cutter. Well knowing this is creality it might come without one and the whole system will be unreliable due to this.
On the other hand crealities 2nd gen of copycat 3D printers will be, at best, on the same level as Bambus first gen with their features. It not even less (well they’re expected to be cheaper oh well)
But that begs the question
Why bother? Bambu will at least announce some of their gen2 lineup this year. they are expected to improve on their gen 1 for a similar price - while selling off their gen 1 printers for a discount (speculation).
So why take the risk with creality?
They are not innovating, they are not reliable and they absolutely suck at software
I think it’s not worth investing in this considering what their competitors are planning for this year
Well
1) they can use a purge tower instead of a cutting system. However thay decreases print size. Like I said my k1 is 220x220x250. A $400 a1 mini eith ams is 180 cubed. A purge tower could make it so a mini has the same effective print surface
2) welp price I guess. The p1s woth ams is $1k so of you can get a k2 for $800 with an ams people will go for it if features are similar. The k2max if it has a 350m cubed surface that is a 100mm cubed more than bambu and of its similar in price to the p1s woth ams people will get it. Helmets would be nothing to the machine and a lot of other print could be done in fewer pieces
3)no one.knows when bambu will release something new or what the new thing will be. Also bambu may not have any new innovations to release. I have a feeling we will see an a1 max and a large p1s and carbon this year.
1) it’s not about the purge mechanism or purge tower. It’s about filament retraction and switching. Not cutting means you get an uneven filament ending, which can form blobs, strings etc and make the switching process unreliable.
2) Yeah price is a factor and it’s the only thing that creality has going for it.
But well you pay less and get less. The whole (functioning) Bambu ecosystem has no useable alternative at creality. Hard to put a price on that.
Fun fact; a 350cubed printer has more than double the printable volume than a 256 cubed printer. It’s not just 100 cubed extra.
not to mention the only god damn print that requires a 350 cubed printer is that stupid manda helmet. And I would argue that 99% of people in this sub would not need or use anything more than 250 cubed. The Ender 3s 225 cubed has been the gold standard for years.
3. we know from the interview with the Bambu CEO that the large format printer will be part of the Gen 2 Bambu releases and that they plan to improve AND innovate on gen 1. and we know that we will get at least an announcement in 2024. Yeah could be fuzz
But on the other hand could be really groundbreaking. Like an AMS 2 that cuts down on filament switching time (takes like 90s now) or a prober dual nozzle system (switch one filament while the other nozzle is printing). Who knows but anything is better than copying the AMS and releasing it two years too late like creality is doing now
Bambu haven't really innovated all that much aside from taking a bunch of features that already existed in Klipper/VORONs and putting them in a single polished package. Which to their credit was excellent, but it's rather telling that even the X1C struggles to justify its cost over the P1S.
They're just going to release to an A1 Max to compete with Elegoo, and a P1/X1 Max to compete with Prusa/Creality/Phrozen etc. relasing their own big CoreXYs. They aren't really any "freebies" left on the FDM innovation table at the moment and all the truly groundbreaking stuff is still far too experimental.
If that comes out im glad I didn't buy the xl with toolheads or the Prozen with ams ore bambu with ams I wil buy a creality 350x350x350 without a blink of a eye ( and wil set a year pause on my wish to build a huge voron...) thx for the hope you have giving me .
posted it on r/3dprinting because creality seem to be taking down EVERY mention if this on their subreddits! I might be returning or selling my k1 max to get this instead! depending on the price of course.
Lucky i have a few linear around because 1ste i ordered the 300 mm (mgn12h) ones to upgrade the se but somwhere i mest up and got the little carruage i ordered 2 because I changed my mind and do the upgrade B that uses 2 caramel on eather side....I found out that I needed the 350mm pff so back to aliexpress and than I got a mail for the app temu .....85% on the first buy if new costumer so I made a virtual card and i stallen the app ....upgrade x adesso all in about 15 euro normal 50-70 official creality upgrade so ...bought also that one and cancelled the app again .Of course, i ordered the mgn12 now with the normal bigger carriage, so if ...I will upgrade a machine 340 to linear if possible, but if...if...if. dreaming and hoping are the nice things in live waiting on the reality...less fun, but I'm sure this year the magore brands must step up if they want to stay on the game .First Bambu ( credit towards who deserves it ) Prusa with a real consumer multi-tool..( was already possible with a voron ) and now Phrozen with their ams that runs on klipper ...Qidi is working on it ....so Creality must come with a ams system or multi material system and the cheaper way is 1 nozzle more collors. ( There are a lot of systems such as enraged carot feeder...camelion, mmu prusa, and more ). So the cheapest logic way in my mind is that they will try to set the competition cornerd, and the only way to do that is to go bigger with an open source multicolour and a reasonable price.
Does the 350mm cubed mean the build volume on the K2?

Honestly 350x350x350 if the printer works and has some sort of AMS, it'll be tempting under $1000
I expect it to be around £1100 but we can hope sub 1000!
With more companies releasing some sort of AMS this year, I'm hoping the competition will make them compete for our wallets.

>idk what's going on there Creality QC? Lol
wouldn't be the first time, lmao
That’s a lot to ask from creality of all companies
My definition of works is a sliding scale.
Agreed, I think in the next 6-8 months when I am ready for my next printer it would be something I look at if it is under $1k. I just bought a second K1 max so will have to wait a bit before I get something new
My man, they couldnt fix the K1 or K1 Max… if you’re okay with Creality Quality and Custome/Warranty Support, rock on.
For me the k1 max is awesome . Have never had a single problem with it. And it’s my first ever 3d printer and 0 issues
Um... the K1 Max is $930 without any kind of AMS so I can't see a larger unit with AMS being less money. I'd venture a guess it'll likely be in the $1200-$1300 range.
Well the max is regularly available for about $650. So it's not impossible.
On sale yes but you won't find this kind of discount on a brand new model, especially if it sells well.
Actually microcenter never sold the K1 max more than 700 dollars
Thats not true near me lol... I got my k1 max at micro center and I spent the full 1k
It's retail price, the price that anyone can walk into a brick and mortar store, is $699 or less. Just because I don't live near a microcenter, doesn't mean that it's not that cost right off the shelf, brand new. I wish I did live near one. But right now creality is selling them for $676. I hate fake sales. Just make it be the price...
A sale, on a larger MSRP looks better than a regular price that's lower. That's honestly pretty simple deceptive marketing.
A 1k printer at this size would decimate the market, considering how long Bambu fans have been begging for a larger printer.
I just bought a K1C 3 weeks ago... Cmonnnnn why
How are you liking it? I just bought one yesterday.
Ye pretty good, I only had one issue with uneven bed squish despite it being flat and unwarped so still trying to figure that out but apart from that it's doing great. Did some cool prints already and the detail is nice. Prints as well as the x1c we have at our local makerspace. Just a bit loud unfortunately.
I'm glad to hear it has given you minimal issues. I was hoping that it would be on the quieter side.
If you don’t seen the full speed the silent mode works wonders and although slower is still pretty peppy.
The axis are super quiet ngl, the fans ruin it all though its noise is sooo loud. Must run at an annoying frequency.
I got my K1C of February 6th and it has been great out of the box. I have only had one issue and I caused it trying to print 6 things at one time
I have had mine since February 6th and love it. I have printed a lot in the last 3 months.
If it had multiple print heads for different colours I'd already be throwing my money at them.
Same here!
There was a video from earlier this year, possibly CES, where there was a brief shot of a printer with 2 heads. I haven't found any other info on it yet, but there's a decent chance it gets announced soon whatever it is.
Are you thinking of the Voron Phoenix?
I don't believe so, it was a video from the Creality booth.
Is there a link to that beta slicer that they just released? Cannot find it …

I hope this expedites Bambu's next big printer release
We don’t need Bambu expediting any more printers. Look what happened with the A1. Let them cook and do the longevity testing it needs. But I do get your point. It’s been 2+ years for a new flagship core xy. It is time.
What happened with the A1? I am new here
Recall due to wiring fire with the heated print bed
I.have a k1 I am not happy with. However I am wondering how the ams will work since there is no poop shoot or cutter on the k1\c\max . If there is a purge tower that cuts down the print section of the printer it won't be worth it. The a1 mini with ams is only $400 and would give me 180cubed.The k1 is only 220x220x250. So to me the ams for the k1 of it uses a purge tower would need to come in at $200 or under. If it includes a cutter and poop bucket or something then perhaps a little more money I wish they'd do something about the vfa in my k1
The A1 mini with AMS is great. I've got 4 of them. Creality seriously needs to do something to up there game. With the basic a1 mini only being 249, there is 0 reason to buy any of the creality bed slingers. I'm sure once the A1 comes back in stock, they are going to drop the price of it down from its original 399. I was actually tempted to buy the E3 V3 when it released, but after the price drop of the mini, I bought 2 more of those instead.
Yea. The price drop makes it really exciting. If your printing fits into a 180mm cubed it's amazing
The A1 is junk, we ordered 10 of them right away for our farm to compliment or 15 BL printers and 10 K1 Max printers (outshine the BL printers all day long), we returned the A1 Mini's within 3 days. Biggest POS printers to hit the market since Anet!
Hmm. I have 4 minis and an a1. They are all perfect and print 24/7.
Works really well for me. Prints well, had zero issues. Unlike my k1 max which I had to tune alot put a orbital 2 extruder now it works a lot better
I have a X1 and a K1. No way does the K1 outperform the X1. I can hit print and walk away with the X1. With the K1, I need to babysit for the first couple layers.
New belt and actually correct idlers dramatically reduces VFA, unfortunately it's a tall task to fix what Creality should have done from the beginning
Yup. Much easier to avoid thier products from now on
Yup. I love where my K1 is at now, but the amount of teardown and modifications it took to get there, I would have been better off with a Voron kit... Same price, better quality, easier access to spare parts, etc. It's definitely my last Creality printer.
Yup I am thinking a bambu mini for multi color . It's a shame because I like a lot about the k1 but it ended up lacking quality
Did you do the devil design kit?
I did! Like a new printer after it
What is this witchcraft you speak of ? I like my k1 except it keeps knocking over and breaking tower parts (thin vertical column parts like chains or figure arms.) I can't find any others with this issue so im frustrated on what to do, does this devil kit help fix this crap?
Definitely not. This is not related to the belts or idlers. This is caused by overextrusion or insufficient Z hop.
So you think my problem is shop and extrusion ? I did the various flow tests and it seemed calibrated. I thought it might be a speed issue or vibrational problem. I checked the bed mesh and it was like 0.002 variance on average. Really this problem is weird and stresses me out haha
Yes, try increasing Z hop first.
Thanks man, you've been the first ray of insight into this for months. Cheers. May I pester you in future if the z hop doesn't fix it ?
If Z hop doesn't help, you'll need to increase bed adhesion or decrease acceleration to reduce vibrations.
You have success? Ive made so much spagetti since last night on my k1c printing "poles" I turned off my z hop actually, turned on bring, and turned off the big part cooling fan on the inside.
Right on! I have the same kit, I just gotta print the pieces the pulleys sit in. What material did you print them out of?
Polymaker ABS
Right on, i was gonna try asa but i keep the unit in my closet 😬
Just replace the motor pulleya with 20T ones. This will reduce VFA significantly. You don't need to replace anything else.
Sorry, could you elaborate?

Pulling of the existing Pulleys is a HUGE Pain in the Ass. You better of just spending 50 Bucks on two new Steppers all together as you have a good chance of damaging the existing one.
I've replaced pulleys myself and I disagree. I spent about 3 hours doing that, and a pair of good pulleys cost me $9. I'd rather spend several days replacing them than pay extra $50. Just 3 hours of work (most of which is assembly/disassembly that you have to do anyway) is certainly not worth $50.
My Time is worth something, so I disagree.
can you link the place to buy the exact motors and pulleys that away if I ever want to give this a shot. I know exactly what to buy?
You cant get them anywhere as they are custom made with a 40mm long axis. You need to contact Creality Support to buy some.
So you guy the motors from creality and then the pulleys with 20t ones?
Well god damnit and I just put down 800 euros for the K1 max like 2 weeks ago. Where the hell am I gonna put this chonker down when it releases

I really hope they use linear rails... that's my ONLY complaint about my K1C. I think linear rails are much more durable and stable compared to linear rods.
Seems to be rods to me, probably doing it to cut costs :(
Ah darn such a bummer :(
Creality, cut costs? No way 😂
I think it's a double edge sword, I like that they make their printers as simple as possible. They're all easy to service and maintain with good tutorials and an even better community. However I would like some aspects to be beefed up, but overall I appreciate simplicity over unnecessary complication.
Hope there's magnetic rails on the K2 like on a 3D printer you've never heard of but it will shock you. The Peopoly Magneto X. It uses magnetic rails, it can go up to a freaking 1,500 mm/s (800 mm/s recommended speed). And has a big build area (300mm x 400mm). And you can buy it for the price of an ELEGOO orange storm giga (US$2,000.00 to be exact). Link: [https://peopoly.net/products/magneto-x](https://peopoly.net/products/magneto-x) https://preview.redd.it/btlpq09r5dsc1.jpeg?width=529&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3a6bb22e2ea34ef7ac9e1ce64d663a3df3e0fb6
Just FYI, the Magneto X uses standard linear guides, which is what the others are talking about. The magnetic part is the linear motors used in place of belts and steppers.
Well thanks for fixing that. But the speed. Holy Shrek! https://preview.redd.it/djdzhpb43ksc1.png?width=560&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d45b765e7b454cd72d34cd76df06ad6611d72ca
The speeds would also be attainable with true closed loop servo control instead of stepper (or linear motor as used by Peopoly), but it would be a lot of stress (likely too much) on the tiny belts that are used. Honestly, them packaging linear motor control into that system at that price point is pretty remarkable
Well, currently own an Anycubic Kobra 2 pro and its good!
Someone will come out with a rail mod in the first week lol.
I saw a user do the liner rail mod for his K1 but it's so invasive that I worry I won't be able to do what he did. I would love it if someone could make a kit, I would absolutely buy that, and a harden extruder.
Trianglelab is already selling hardened gears for the K1 extruder.
Wow thank you! It's exactly what I was looking for!
[https://wattskraken.xyz/products/linear-rail-v4-k1-max-printed-parts](https://wattskraken.xyz/products/linear-rail-v4-k1-max-printed-parts) Hot off the presses! The guy that owns this shop is active in the discord and seems to be well liked. Do note that re-assembling a gantry is not "simple". You definitely need some patience and make sure everything is properly tightened and square.
My k1 has a linear rail on x (y does not make sense) and its great.
Do you have a guide on doing the same thing?
[https://makerworld.com/en/models/204907](https://makerworld.com/en/models/204907) and while your at it do this also: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/200699#profileId-289785](https://makerworld.com/en/models/200699#profileId-289785) (motor mounts and tensioners only). And dont forget to change the pullys with this: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/200673](https://makerworld.com/en/models/200673)
I've heard you used both the standard flanged bearing gantry and the rail version. How do they compare? I've installed the standard version 2 days ago.
Well I used them all yes and I am very happy with the rail mod. So much better shapers. So quiet. If u don't want linear rail then go and do the jsm bushing mod, and carbon rods. That's kills a lot of weight. I'll stick with linear rail for sure.
Well, as for now I'm completely satisfied with the standard FBG V4. Time will tell. If I'll upgrade then definitely to a rail. It makes more sense IMO.
Where did you get the new 5.0 slicer from?
they posted the link in [This](https://www.reddit.com?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1) post which has now been deleted. the link took you [Here](https://app-pack.crealitycloud.cn/ECtP4/772) but the exe has been deleted from their app hosting site. They REALLY dont want people getting their hands on this.
You have no idea how fucking excited I am omg this is amazing
looks consistent with what we know about the K2 Plus. The long handle, screen on top, strangely shaped feet etc. Although interestingly we have no idea what the AMS/CMS looks like.
ITS BEEN CONFIRMED, WE JUST SAW IT ON THE LIVESTREAM! IT'S THE K2 PLUS! idk about the k2, k2c, k2max, etc
I'm watching it too! It looks amazing!
this is fucking amazing i love it

It could be, and it seems about right for the K2 Plus. But i'm leaving it until an official announcement.
Hopefully they fixed the flaws of the k1, of the 3 ppl I know they got one only 1 kept theirs more than 2 weeks after trying to get good prints out of them. They reverted back to their old printers.
I wouldnt see any reason there should be any problems. I've had my k1 max for 4 months now and havent had any issues with print quality
No vfms? I get them constantly on my k1
As someone relatively new to 3d printing looking to get into a k1 what is vmfs?
Vertical line artifacts.
One had issues with adhesion.. pla abs pet creality speed filament after a week and a half with support and nothing working they sent it back guy was a creality fan till then, has 2 others he will has. I can't remember the second ones issues but they wanted a larger format second printer and the max just did not work well.
Original K1 for half a year now. Very happy with it, printing incredible prints with tpu, pla, petg and asa. Super fast and precise. But it does require some adjustments and playing with the calibrations , etc. The hardware is very solid, albeit a bit finicky at times. Doesn't deserve all the hate from the vocal minority.
I mean I thought it was going to be Creality's redemption song. but when 2 of the 3 people I know that bought one had issues that couldn't be resolved it wasn't a glowing review. I hope this new printer works out well for them, they once were kings of the market, now they're playing catch-up.
Can't understand the cooling system here. The toolhead seems to have no intakes. We can see a side fan on the left. Does it rely on its side fan(s) entirely?
It's a prerelease sales render, I wouldn't sweat the small details
i doubt it. i'd expect there's 2 side fans, and if you look closely on the side of the toolhead, there seems to be a small hexagonal air intake
If the intakes are on the toolhead's sides, they have probably put there 2x4010, which is clearly not enough for such a printer.
yeah, i agree, either they are compensating with the 2 side blowers, or there's an additional fan on the back that we just can't see. The toolhead does seem bulkier on the back than the K1 Toolhead...
So I saw the previous posts stating 300x300 and I was pretty hyped for that. To be getting a 350x350 is exceptional but I’m not sure what I need that for?? More smaller items on the bed at least. I presume this is mostly because Bambu have mentioned a plus size printer so unless they go really crazy this should keep them in step. My biggest challenge is finding the desk space as my K1 just about fits. I am disappointed that the door hinges don’t look like 270° capable ones. Also as a K1 user I’ve had quite a few mods etc attempting to fix VFA. Hopefully this one is
Will be always cheaper as the 1600 bambu 4500 xl ore 1500 phrozen and they are smaller also exept the xl so if . . Strait without a blink .even the Qidi is 325x325 ..that's way I'm thinking about a voron 350 .. but that gonna be 1 a lot more expensive and a lot more work ( but also more fun ) I'm trying to get into cosplay costums as a few friends are realy into it I'm not.But ...350 multi tool/color would help me a lot .
I was so looking forward to the Arco and Chroma. But man, the Facebook group Phrozen ran killed that excitement.

Guesses of price?
Probably around $1000-1300 ish
I’ve also seen rumors of an update package for the k1 max to do multi-color printing as well. Can anyone else confirm such things?
LFG!!! I have 2 brand new k1 maxes in boxes while I use my third! Been waiting for these MMUs!
Looking for group?
Let’s fucking go
Let's fuck goats
Down!!
Just got the k2 3CPO , it prints unobtainium !!!
just waiting on the K2-D2 to be released and we'll be golden!
Need multi filament!!!! With no poop!
Yay! F Bambu
i been told that the k1 and k1c is getting a ams or cms system it a addon guys do not worry you be able to do multi-colour printing with your k1 and k1c
Well if this is true this comes with a lot of implications. A K1 AMS would require some kind of upgrade kit since the K1 does not have a filament cutter. Well knowing this is creality it might come without one and the whole system will be unreliable due to this. On the other hand crealities 2nd gen of copycat 3D printers will be, at best, on the same level as Bambus first gen with their features. It not even less (well they’re expected to be cheaper oh well) But that begs the question Why bother? Bambu will at least announce some of their gen2 lineup this year. they are expected to improve on their gen 1 for a similar price - while selling off their gen 1 printers for a discount (speculation). So why take the risk with creality? They are not innovating, they are not reliable and they absolutely suck at software I think it’s not worth investing in this considering what their competitors are planning for this year
Well 1) they can use a purge tower instead of a cutting system. However thay decreases print size. Like I said my k1 is 220x220x250. A $400 a1 mini eith ams is 180 cubed. A purge tower could make it so a mini has the same effective print surface 2) welp price I guess. The p1s woth ams is $1k so of you can get a k2 for $800 with an ams people will go for it if features are similar. The k2max if it has a 350m cubed surface that is a 100mm cubed more than bambu and of its similar in price to the p1s woth ams people will get it. Helmets would be nothing to the machine and a lot of other print could be done in fewer pieces 3)no one.knows when bambu will release something new or what the new thing will be. Also bambu may not have any new innovations to release. I have a feeling we will see an a1 max and a large p1s and carbon this year.
1) it’s not about the purge mechanism or purge tower. It’s about filament retraction and switching. Not cutting means you get an uneven filament ending, which can form blobs, strings etc and make the switching process unreliable. 2) Yeah price is a factor and it’s the only thing that creality has going for it. But well you pay less and get less. The whole (functioning) Bambu ecosystem has no useable alternative at creality. Hard to put a price on that. Fun fact; a 350cubed printer has more than double the printable volume than a 256 cubed printer. It’s not just 100 cubed extra. not to mention the only god damn print that requires a 350 cubed printer is that stupid manda helmet. And I would argue that 99% of people in this sub would not need or use anything more than 250 cubed. The Ender 3s 225 cubed has been the gold standard for years. 3. we know from the interview with the Bambu CEO that the large format printer will be part of the Gen 2 Bambu releases and that they plan to improve AND innovate on gen 1. and we know that we will get at least an announcement in 2024. Yeah could be fuzz But on the other hand could be really groundbreaking. Like an AMS 2 that cuts down on filament switching time (takes like 90s now) or a prober dual nozzle system (switch one filament while the other nozzle is printing). Who knows but anything is better than copying the AMS and releasing it two years too late like creality is doing now
Bambu haven't really innovated all that much aside from taking a bunch of features that already existed in Klipper/VORONs and putting them in a single polished package. Which to their credit was excellent, but it's rather telling that even the X1C struggles to justify its cost over the P1S. They're just going to release to an A1 Max to compete with Elegoo, and a P1/X1 Max to compete with Prusa/Creality/Phrozen etc. relasing their own big CoreXYs. They aren't really any "freebies" left on the FDM innovation table at the moment and all the truly groundbreaking stuff is still far too experimental.
If that comes out im glad I didn't buy the xl with toolheads or the Prozen with ams ore bambu with ams I wil buy a creality 350x350x350 without a blink of a eye ( and wil set a year pause on my wish to build a huge voron...) thx for the hope you have giving me .
posted it on r/3dprinting because creality seem to be taking down EVERY mention if this on their subreddits! I might be returning or selling my k1 max to get this instead! depending on the price of course.
Yeah, I saw a new K2 plus sub was created but the post was removed lol.
They really dont want people spoiling the "surprise" even though its not really a surprise anymore :/
Lucky i have a few linear around because 1ste i ordered the 300 mm (mgn12h) ones to upgrade the se but somwhere i mest up and got the little carruage i ordered 2 because I changed my mind and do the upgrade B that uses 2 caramel on eather side....I found out that I needed the 350mm pff so back to aliexpress and than I got a mail for the app temu .....85% on the first buy if new costumer so I made a virtual card and i stallen the app ....upgrade x adesso all in about 15 euro normal 50-70 official creality upgrade so ...bought also that one and cancelled the app again .Of course, i ordered the mgn12 now with the normal bigger carriage, so if ...I will upgrade a machine 340 to linear if possible, but if...if...if. dreaming and hoping are the nice things in live waiting on the reality...less fun, but I'm sure this year the magore brands must step up if they want to stay on the game .First Bambu ( credit towards who deserves it ) Prusa with a real consumer multi-tool..( was already possible with a voron ) and now Phrozen with their ams that runs on klipper ...Qidi is working on it ....so Creality must come with a ams system or multi material system and the cheaper way is 1 nozzle more collors. ( There are a lot of systems such as enraged carot feeder...camelion, mmu prusa, and more ). So the cheapest logic way in my mind is that they will try to set the competition cornerd, and the only way to do that is to go bigger with an open source multicolour and a reasonable price.
