I thoroughly tested the Creality K2 Plus Combo by printing various models for review. Featured designs from talented artists Abbymath, 3DPrintBunny, Scratch 3D Printing, and others. Different difficulty multicolor models were used for evaluation. Check out a complete review on 3DWithUs.
Table Of Contents
While the final print quality and the results of the multicolored prints were impressive, I encountered a number of errors, which I resolved through online troubleshooting. I included images and workarounds.
Thanks for the nice summary with detailed information.
I had exactly the two same errors like you and corrected a view things.
- If you use Orca-slicers K2+ printer setup you need to change some flags in the multimaterial settings then otherwise it creates purges into the brim tower which generate then clogs in the extruder and even when retracting filaments!
- I had to change extruder shell because the tube holder was broken
I made also some mods for the tubing (K2+CFS modifications: The extruder and CFS tubes & connections) and to CFS but since then ( a month now) I had no error whatsoever!

Thanks! It’s a nice guide featuring different PTFE tubes and layouts. I’ll keep it in mind, especially when start printing with coarse filaments. Reducing friction is generally a good idea.

I may have missed it, but was the K2 Plus Combo (and the extra box of parts that are an issue) sent to you to test and review, and if so do you get to keep them?
Didn’t see you mention if Creality sent them to you for compensation of reviewing or that you are not compensated by Creality.
I’ve seen great reviews by a few people on their sites / Yahoo and then there are all of the issues on this forum.
It makes me wonder if Creality is cherry picking / tweaking / correcting only the units that go to the reviewers. IIRC, they sent you an extra extruder due to it being an issue.
Thanks for your review.
Hi, yes, indeed, the product was sent for an honest, detailed review. Recently, we started leaving a disclaimer right after the table of contents.
Thank you for pointing it out. I edited the message to make sure it is clear and transparent.
The extra box and the build plate were sent together with the package.
Yes, we also featured issues I had with the product. You can find them in Errors and Workarounds and mentioned again in Conclusion and in Cons. Here is my post on Twitter/X: x.com
