I want to try them all…………….but not the cost of buying ANOTHER printer with more promises than production. My K2 Plus/CFS system is only 6 months old, not living up to the hype, and I can’t afford to “just replace it”. HOWEVER, I would gladly spend the money on upgrade kit……..provided it delivered at least 1/2 of what it promised. I know these companies are all about the $$$, but they better slow down and remember who their actual customers are.
Oh goody. Another half-baked Creality “flagship” product announced before it is actually ready to ship.
I can’t wait… to not order it.
So, Creality, if the phone doesn’t ring, that’s me.
Riddle me this: how many flagship products can one company announce before the word “flagship” stops meaning anything?
Is this a finished product with a real support plan, or another rushed-to-market science project where customers get to finish the beta test in public? Would I trust Creality to make its first nozzle-changing machine reliable, or would I trust Creality to make it cheap, ship it fast, and let the forums discover the problems?
After all the hype, this was not a product announcement. It was a mailing-list signup form wearing RGB underglow.
My point is simple. If Creality took a page from the Prusa playbook and used new technology to support existing customers with a real upgrade route, customer loyalty and trust would go up.
Instead, what do we see in the forums? DOA products where customers are told to troubleshoot brand-new machines on their own. Products pushed out before the bugs are worked out. Faulty firmware releases like the K2 firmware mess this week. And self-inflicted problems from Creality’s continuing mess of an Orca Slicer fork.
My advice to any tech company: get the first things right before chasing the next shiny thing.
You can only burn through so much customer trust before customers stop assuming the next one will be different.
So cool to see creailty with a tool changer printer, this is the next step forward for 3d printing 
The truth is, there is no perfect 3d printer, just how there isn’t a perfect car. It’s just reality. Creailty pushes the boundaries in leaps, very competitive in an over saturated 3d printing market.
I’m so excited to see this tool changer!
You should be to because it creates positive competition

I wanted this machine for a while!
Fast heat up, and quick change will be game changer in multi material printing.
I have 3 pcs K2 combo and 1 K2 plus but this will may main printer.
Nozzle changing and full spectrum are the key elements I’m loving! I cannot wait for the K3 series!
I doubt the K2 will be upgradeable to the KliTek system. They have a bunch of sensors built into the K3 to align the nozzles and you wouldn’t be able to add all that to a K2.
It looks like the K3 will be 260x260x260 with 4 nozzles. Though I suspect there will be a Plus and Max or Pro or whatever they call it with bigger volume and more nozzles similar to the K2 line.

I’m really hoping for a 260x260x300. The video makes it looks like it is tall but the camera can alter things. We will see.
it’s not a video, the ‘video’ is only renderings with probably some ai in the mix, that is not actual footage. that being said i doubt the z would be 300, that would make for a weird form factor, and considering that you’ll have ptfe tubes on top connecting to the nozzles, it would require way too much vertical space
The hands reaching and taking the prints out were pretty good renders if that was the case. LOL I’m hoping it would be the size on the HI since that is the same build volume. A guy can dream.
Yeah those are some b-shots that can be any printer case really, I suspect it’s actually just a shell so that they can get the nice shots 
the only ones that actually seem like they are actually taken on what will potentially be the k3 are the TPU ones, but yeah let’s see, there will eventually be some videos in YouTube of actual production units at some point
I just hope that this isn’t just to generate hype and then have massive delays to actually be released, like the implementation of bondtech INDX on the prusas, that was announced more than 6 months ago and still not released (it can only really be seen at trade shows always printing the same objects lol)
Yeah. I’m hoping are getting a release sooner rather than later. Q3 isn’t too far from now.

I really want to try CMYK Full-Color 3D Printing! It honestly opens up alot of new possibilities for multicolor printing.
Really looking forward to it. I already know another changing-printer. It is really a big speedbenefit! And this completed with the Full-Spectrum. Sounds really like a must have.
When you go on your filament selection area on the bottom it has a button to add mixed filaments it’s very easy works pretty good with the CMYK filaments

Get a bambu, the k2’s CFS is a pain in the ass and the H2C prints way better than the K2 series, it is six times the price so I guess there’s that to consider
what did i miss last night? Did they give pricing or dates
I didn’t hear about any pricing but they mentioned September for a release..
