I am beyond done with this time and money wasting contraption, just problems after problems, unrelated problems, ghost issues and codes that have nothing to do with anything. Sorry for the rant but this is the worst purchase I’ve ever made, this is in no way ready for retail sales, the thing is a nice pice of art that is just not reliable whatsoever, you can throw the best dryer filament money can buy and it will find a way to waste it for you while depleting your money it’s does even more damage to your time and mental health, having you endlessly chasing every aspect that makes this printer, and giving a wide array of meaningless codes that mean nothing. I am really thinking this is a plan funded by the CCCP where to waste of bunch of dumb Americans time and sanity, and also a good way for them to sell us back their plastic waste in filament form. Of course that being a joke but I can’t be the only one ready to just take this out to a field and fill it with tannerite and blasting it into a billion pieces. Anyway thank you for taking the time to read my rant and feel free to add your own tidbit of frustration and maybe we can grow a community of people who hate the K2. Don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff, peace.
So, you are upset about something then ?
You’re not the only one, friend. I live in Russia, and just like you, I face these stupid problems and endless mistakes. I’m just tired of fighting with this printer already. Conda, he works, he’s great, but when he starts dying, he pisses me off. And the dumbest thing is that the company does not officially operate in Russia and I was simply denied technical support, at least you can bring this printer back to the store, but I will wait and suffer and bring it to mind on my own. We’re all in the same boat right now, with printers that aren’t working as they should.
Well at least you have a cool name my friend, whenever I seen it I was reminded of Stanislav Szukalski, a very famous sculptural from a long time ago, and believe it or not was very much a part of the upbringing of Leonardo DiCaprio,probably my favorite artist of all time. Anyway yeah this thing is absolute garage and today is no different, so far today the axis is off, unknown errors, won’t extrude or retract filament and it will pass calibration only to crash when starting a print. So yeah I will be returning this trash and I suppose your only option is to sell it privately for as much as possible and walk away. Sorry for your luck in that, hope you don’t lose too much and better luck with your next machine.
Must be your machine because mine is an absolute fantastic no hassle piece of equipment. If I look to the Ender 3 S1 Pro or the Ender 3v2 Neo that I have standing next to it then forget it, THAT was a lot of hassle in hindsight. Bed leveling, trying to align the bed with the knobs, filament not sticking, limited bed area, all the add-ons and upgrades needed to get it to work the best you can. Not anymore, all ancient history. Both my K2 and my Ender 3v3 Plus are amazing. The 3v3 Plus is too loud so that got banned to the garage but the K2 with the CFS? Absolutely awesome.
Now if you would have feedback on what is actually happening then maybe people can help here but to just call it crap without any context that’s not helping anyone. I hope you can get it fixed though!
Well said my friend 
Well I am glad yours is great, but there are a ton of people who’s machines are just bricks. So if I were to list the individual problems it would be a novel, just imagine all the parts of the machine and there you have it, from the extruder, bed, belt, cfs, they are all included, but the really awesome thing is whenever it tells me whatever random code it decides to show it almost anything but what’s listed. While I am trying to be a little funny this thing is absolute s***, can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted taking this and that apart, recalibrating, switching filament, redrying already dry filament and just general waste of money with the 40 rolls of asa, petg and abs I bought only to find out they way over promised on what it could run, the only decent prints I have got was with PLA, not why I spent 2k is a machine that only does PLA semi regularly. Bottom line is that wasn’t ready, and proof is it will literally start a print on say ABS without the chamber even being to temp… Seriously wtf is that? No f’ing way that should have ever made it to mass production. So cool that you’ve had good luck so far but I have a feeling all you fanboys will soon realize this isn’t a well built machine and see the light.
Don’t know if this fits this message. Fortunately, my printer works well. I did have the same problem that when I started a print the printer suddenly went off with the fans still running and a whole row of error code. This happened after I had a file from Creality Cloud for the K2 with settings. After three tries I tried to print a calibration kubis, this also failed with the same errors. I didn’t get it because I had printed this before. tried everything but kept getting errors. then replaced my printer.cfg with a backup and did a factory reset. Then the printer worked as before with the same calibration kubis. Then I wanted to be sure and tried the file of Creality Cloud again. Another row of errors and the machine failed also with the calibration kubis or any stl file. put printer.cfg back and still the printer failed. then did the printer.cfg and factory reset and it works again.
that was 3 printing days ago. no problems anymore. sliced the file from creality cloud myself without any settings and printed fine.
Hi, I can also fully understand and confirm the disappointments and negative experiences mentioned above although (luckily at least for the moment) not to that extreme extent. Nevertheless I fully agree that a so called „flagship“ printer not least with a significant price tag has to have a much better and robust quality in order to be satisfied as customer (my personal view). Although I also experienced some regular weird and annoying behaviour of the printer the main issues and dissatisfaction on my side are related to the CFS. To me the CFS seems to have even significantly bigger construction and/or quality problems than the printer. And that is totally unacceptable if you ask me. So Creality, please do your homework and asap here!!!
As others have stated It seems you are having issues with your K2, Its understandable to have gripes with new and emerging technologies but Im confused on what your issue with the K2 is?
We got a K2+ with CFS a few weeks ago at work. Got it to print larger items than a BBL X1 Carbon - engineering parts in PETG only - no multi-color, no exotic materials. Got two rolls of Creality Hyper PETG with it… and the problems ensued. This thing has been more temperamental than an old-school Ender-3 original. Just way bigger, way more complicated, and way more expensive. Here is my experience so far:
- “AI camera” appears to do nothing - does not even acknowledge an obviously-failed calibration print, let alone any failures while printing. As far as I can tell, it does nothing, so should not have been listed as a “feature” at all.
- The CFS doesn’t seem to support switch-over when filament runs out. The only notice we’re given is a single messagebox on the screen, entirely in Chinese.
- Orca slicers and others are not officially supported, and some say that they can even emit GCODE which causes 1st and 2nd layer problems - unsure about that. Our luck with Orca wasn’t much better. It does offer finer control - but the whole point of buying the K2+ was to not have to fiddle with settings constantly.
- Bed leveling appears to analyze the bed well (which is just as taco-shaped as others, about 1.5mm), but I’m not convinced Klipper actually uses that data while printing. A started print will lay down the left-side calibration filament just fine (where the bed is higher), however it then commonly fails to stick when printing in the center (where the bed is lower.) You can see that the nozzle is much further away in the center. We’ve attempted to compensate by increasing 1st-layer flow to 1.1, which sometimes works, but this is not a proper solution. Is Klipper not using the bed-leveling data at all?
- Many jams/feed issues with the brand-new CFS and filament. Many extruder errors in 1st and 2nd layer. Over/under-extrusion. Many failed prints, much time wasted. We’ve had filament bulge up in the extruder, preventing retraction - it had to be disassembled and cut out! How can that even happen? Even tried Bambu PETG in it - same results.
- First and 2nd layer issues - no change if printed from external spool.
- Lots of forum posts saying “first and second-layer issues? revert firmware to .57 and use CrealityPrint 5…” Well this didn’t work either. Printing is hit-or-miss; sometimes it works, sometimes it under/over extrudes or otherwise fails at layer 1 or 2. It even seems to be related to enclosure temperature - first print of the day may work, while subsequent ones (once everything has heated up) will fail. This machine is highly finnicky, and we’re constantly tweaking things to get anything to print. Meanwhile, our recycle bin is filling up.
We want to like this machine… but right now it is an expensive and heavy paperweight, with advertised features which do not work.
I’d really like to know what is different between this unit and the “unicorns” people claim work great. Are they all printing PLA? Does bed-leveling actually work on a Unicorn? Do their AI cameras work too?
Just had a talk with our purchaser. Should have a week or two left before it must be returned.
After three weeks of using the K2+ printer with the CFS add-on, I can say it’s excellent—for testing your patience. I’ve never been this close to throwing something this big out the window.
If you need a printer for printing PLA filaments, you’re on the right track. But if you’ve decided to use a stronger filament like PETG, well, now you have a problem.
With PETG, there’s always an issue—filament moisture, the extruder, the print bed…
I have an old Prusa MK3 that I only now truly appreciate. 
As many have said here, this is not a printer for heavy use.
I swear the people who say it’s great and have zero issues are employees of Creality!
Only problem i have is i need for petg a z-offset. And dont use settings from creality cloud the break your printer. Even after that your printer wont work like before. Needed to do a factory reset to fix things even other stl file did not work anymore before factory reset. Think that i didnt do the reset the hole printer wil break after a couple of prints.
Well, I guess I fall into the “I got a great printer” group because mine has been stellar…CFS has been great as well came from a Bambu P1P, still have the BBL but it sits on the shelf as this printer has been a workhorse for me.
And no…I don’t work for Creality…
