I would be using this to print 3D printed electronics projects. I am working on embedding electronics into 3d printing using conductive filament as well a conductive tape.

I’d love to have some sort of reliable solution for TPU printing for the K2 Pro Combo. My project would focus on designing printable upgrades and proven slicer profiles to make printing flexible filaments like TPU as easy and reliable as possible for every user. I have already created some solutions that helped K2 Plus users. Which I am still continuing to do. https://www.crealitycloud.com/user/5591483527
I would be doing the same with testing the K2 Pro’s direct drive extruder and heated chamber to push its TPU capabilities, then develop essential hardware mods and optimal print settings. Hopefully something I can share with the Creality Cloud community. This project provides direct value by solving a common user problem and helps Creality refine the product by delivering focused feedback on filament handling and performance with flexible materials.

After struggling with the Ender 3 S1 pro I’m eager to get my hands on the K2 pro. Mainly for cosplay secondarily for functional parts around the house for Family. Dabbling more into creating my own designs as opposed to grabbing them off the Internet and just printing. I am really eager to get into nylons and carbon fibers, but having something that will print reliably every time is way more important.

Having all the features on the K2 plus in a smaller form factor is great for just banging out a quick part or toy. And the ability to place it about anywhere in the house is a bonus.

I would love to be chosen for this project, as my project is very meaningful and hits very close to home. I have 5 children, 17, 9, 8, 5, and my youngest daughter just turned 3 in June and she is Autistic. I have never touched a 3d printer up until 2 weeks ago. I ordered 3 printers the same day, all different companies to see which was the best, and I figured 3 would be enough to print my kids stuff and work on my project that I wanted to do specifically for my youngest daughter and all the other people who are on the spectrum, which was to custom make specific sensory items that would help stimulate my daughter and keep her calm in all different situations and places. This is going to be a long project and I don’t plan on stopping ever. I want to continue to make new stuff that will keep evolving and helping everyone on the spectrum. This project is very important to me and I was planning on starting a YouTube channel, TikTok and instagram page to document my start up with 3d printing and my journey on customizing sensory items for all who get in touch with me through those channels. I’m not looking to charge anyone for these items, this is my way of giving back and helping all those who are like my daughter. Having 5 kids is a lot and having the youngest on the spectrum is even more to deal with and my wife and I were recently in a bad car accident in march which put me out of work and gave me this idea to start doing from home now that I can’t work construction anymore which is what I used to do.

I ordered a Creality k2 plus, a Anycubic kobra s1, and a flashforge ad5x a little more then 2 weeks ago. The k2 plus came first and within an hour I was printing the testing boat, amazing how easy it was and how great the quality was, shortly after the boat I had requests from kids and started to print them what they wanted. I realized I probably was going to need a few more printers to keep my kids happy and print them what they wanted and also print stuff for my youngest daughter and eventually other people on the spectrum. So right away I ordered another k2 plus and had it before the Anycubic or flashforge came. The Anycubic came the day after and I set that up and wasn’t that impressed as I was with the k2 plus, it had not printed perfectly and had visible line defects and that continued through each print right around the same height on every print. Today is about 2 weeks since the first one came, I’ve been printing non stop on all 3 printers and actually turned the Anycubic off yesterday and haven’t used it since and have been debating sending it back as I have had a few problems that I don’t see as worth it too deal with when I have these amazing k2 plus printers going non stop beautifully! The ad5x came 2 days ago, I didn’t even take it out of the box it’s still sealed, instead I got a 3rd k2 plus today! Creality I have nothing but thanks for your company and how great of an experience you’ve made entering the 3d printing world! And I will be using your printers on my journey into my autism sensory project I will be working on and I would love nothing more then to be working on it with you guys directly on this project your offering 2 lucky people to be a part of. I wish everyone good luck and hope whoever wins does the most with it and reaches the largest audience possible with Creality behind them and changes people’s lives for the better.

Thank you for this amazing chance!

Project Title: OpenViper – An Open Source F-16 Cockpit Replica for Flight Simulation

I am building a full-size replica of an F-16 cockpit, designed for use in VR with mixed reality integration .
The cockpit will feature functional buttons, switches, and indicators, making it not just a static model but a true immersive flight experience .

This project is both large in physical scale and complex in engineering, combining 3D-printed structures with a significant amount of electronics integration .

From a 3D printing perspective, the challenges lie in:

• Printing large-format parts that form the cockpit structure .
• Producing high-detail, multi-color panels that replicate real F-16 instrument panels .
• Using specialty filaments such as carbon fiber, ASA, PLA, and PETG for strength, durability, and finish quality .

I will be using open-source available parts, but everything I create will also be made open-source .
Beyond my personal build, I want to share the entire project as a community effort called OpenViper . Inspired by projects like OpenHarrier and OpenHornet, this will be a collaborative platform where makers can contribute, exchange ideas, and help each other not just with 3D printing, but also with electronics, wiring, and software integration .

The ultimate goal is to let anyone, anywhere, take flight in their own F-16 cockpit—built by the community, for the community .

Or, like Iceman said in Top Gun:
“You can be my wingman any time.”

Happy Printing/Flying!!

Even though I already have the K1 Max, I think adding the K2 Pro Combo makes a lot of sense for the type of projects I’m working on now. Most of my recent prints have been drone and airplane related—like propeller test pieces, fuselage sections, and modular parts for lightweight airframes. The K1 Max handles big prints really well, but the K2 Pro brings two major advantages: it’s faster, and it’s designed to work seamlessly with the Creality Filament System (CFS).

For me, that means I could start pushing into more advanced designs, like drone housings or wing components that use multiple filament types in one project—stronger cores with lighter shells, or flexible joints integrated into rigid frames. With the K2 Pro + CFS, I wouldn’t need to swap materials manually, which saves time and makes the workflow way more efficient. Having both printers running together also helps: the K1 Max could stay dedicated to large-scale prototypes, while the K2 Pro tackles faster, multi-material parts that need precision and versatility. For aerospace-inspired projects like mine, that combination feels like the best way to speed up iteration while still exploring more complex designs.

Hey i would use this to print some customisation for my computer and mods for my printer and some electronic projects

[SimplePrint]

Hey, this is an awesome opportunity! I’ve been following Creality for a while, and the K2 Pro looks like a fantastic leap forward. I’d love to join the Pioneer Program and contribute to the community.

My passion lies in designing and printing functional objects for the home. It’s about more than just making cool-looking things; it’s about solving real-world problems and creating useful items that improve daily life. I believe the K2 Pro, with its speed and precision, would be perfect for this kind of work.

For example, I’d love to use it to design a custom, weighted door stopper. Instead of a basic wedge, I could create one with a unique shape that fits perfectly against a specific door, maybe incorporating a non-slip base and a modern aesthetic. Another project I have in mind is to design a variety of clips and accessories for the popular IKEA Skadis pegboard system. The existing hooks are great, but I could create custom, more specialized versions, like a mount for a wireless speaker or a holder for specific tools, that are more efficient and tailored to individual needs.

I’m committed to documenting the entire process, from initial design concepts to the final print, sharing my experiences, challenges, and successes with the community. I believe that by focusing on practical, functional prints, I can inspire others to see 3D printing not just as a hobby, but as a powerful tool for everyday innovation.

As a hobbyist with a passion for creating functional parts (see my profile), I believe the K2 Pro Combo would be an incredible tool for my workshop. Too often, people see 3D printing as a way to create decorative objects, but I want to document the process of designing and printing practical, durable solutions for everyday problems. I’d use the printer to make custom mounts, organizational tools, and maybe even replacement parts for household appliances that are otherwise impossible to find. My goal is to show the community how 3D printing can be a true asset for repair and innovation, not just a fun gimmick!

One example of a 3D project I’ve created is a waterproof junction box (with TPU gasket), which I modeled in Fusion 360. I improved it over time by collecting user feedback. You’ll find other parametric models on my profile that are designed to adapt to user needs.

I want to create a fully modular, snap-together hunting and survival system—gear that can be 3D printed anywhere, anytime. From interlocking game calls and foldable meat haulers to emergency water filtration kits, all designed to be rugged, packable, and field-tested in the woods of Mississippi.

Why does this stand out?

Most 3D printing projects live on desks—mine will live in the wild. I’m combining my experience in CNC machining, outdoor survival, and tactical manufacturing to build an ecosystem of gear that empowers hunters, campers, and preppers to print what they need, when they need it. No warehouse, no shipping—just the right tool, right now.

With the K2 Pro’s speed, precision, and multi-material potential, I’ll be able to develop durable, field-ready prints and bring this vision to life—one layer at a time. Let’s turn outdoor survival into an open-source, 3D-printed reality.

I want to design custom branding items for small businesses, specifically 3D printed signs that combine QR codes and tap to pay NFC technology. These signs won’t just be functional but they’ll be eye catching, durable, and customizable to match each brand’s personality.

Most QR/NFC signs today are made from acrylic or flat prints, which can easily break, scratch, or fade. By using 3D printing, I can add dimension, strength, and creativity to these signs such as raised lettering and height, textured logos, unique color blends, and sleek bases that also hold business cards. This turns a simple payment or social link sign into a statement piece that elevates a brand’s presence. I can also do displays for products to match their brand personality.

The K2 Pro Combo would allow me to bring these to life with precision, vibrant colors, and strong materials which is perfect for helping businesses stand out in a modern, interactive way.

[Endracion]

I design and print a lot of custom things, but above all, custom keyboards and accessories, usually split keyboards, with custom cases, angled adapters and everything that goes along with that, where apart from the PCB and electronics, everything else is designed and 3D Printed.
The CFS enables some really interesting designs, like multicolored keycaps, embedded designs into the case itself and a ton of possibilities with different materials.
I own a K2 Plus as well, so it would make for interesting comparisons and I’ve been printing since my original Ender 3 Pro when it came out. I have rebuilt it multiple times from the ground up, so I’m not afraid of really getting into it, whether it’s the physical machine or the code. I’m very well versed in maintenance and often end up designing my own upgrades, so I would greatly enjoy contributing feedback in order to better the products and the brand, as I’ve always been a fan of Creality products.

[Pitanga_Vigand]

Hey everyone! I’m a Brazilian architect and computational designer working with generative, rule-based algorithms. I’m completely in love with my amazing K1 and already use it a lot, but the K2’s native multifilament system would be transformative for me — and maybe for what I dream to contribute to the thinker community.

I’m starting my master’s degree project called “Making AI feasible from conception to construction”. My focus is on prototyping innovative geometries and building workflows that connect AI design directly to fabrication. The K2’s ability to use dissolvable supports would finally allow me to bring to life geometries that are currently impossible to fabricate. Just imagine avoid the problem of especific geometries that have suports that dosen’t allows us to take it of.

My plan is to develop a series of miniature sceneries, architectural mockups, or experimental furniture parts that demonstrate:

• How multifilament enables the real-world fabrication of complex geometries.

• How this workflow can inspire academia (methodology), design practice (collection of works), and most importantly: the maker community (accessible workflow demonstration).

In short: I really want to show how the K2 with dissolvable supports can bridge the gap between creative potential and the tangible world of design and digital fabrication. I can’t even sleep sometimes thinking about it hahaha

If my daughter and I were lucky enough to win a K2 Pro Combo, we’d use it to launch a small family business together. She has an incredible imagination that I want to help her harness. I’d help bring her ideas to life with my knowledge of 3D modeling and product design.

The vision is simple but powerful: she dreams it, we design and make it together. But it’s not just about selling things. It’s about teaching her the process of designing, problem-solving, and improving your product, just like Creality is doing with the K2 Pro. The K2 Pro Combo is the perfect tool for us to pioneer this journey: precise enough to handle her delicate designs, versatile enough for the wide range of ideas she can dream of, and reliable enough to turn a father-daughter dream into reality.

Together we wouldn’t just be printing objects, we would be enriching her creativity while also building resilience, and hopefully a future where her imagination becomes part of something bigger.

Lately, I’ve been spending half of my days turning random design ideas into 3D prints and then trying to turn those prints into money. The formula is simple: idea > design > print > money > new printer > new idea > … and it just goes on forever.

I make money, then I spend it on a new Creality printer. Creality makes printers so I can make more money, I make more money and hand it right back to Creality. We basically built our own little closed economy here. Oh God, I think I’ve fallen into an infinite 3D printer loop!

That’s why I have to keep this cycle alive for the K2 and every other printer that comes next. And well, for that—I need the K2 reward. Come on, let this loop continue, or else the balance of the universe might collapse!”

[Việt_Anh_Trương]

I’m basically trying to build a poor man’s Fallout Sentry Bot. The core frame is just ABS/nylon-CF prints, reinforced with scrap metal inserts wherever I expect real stress. Once the skeleton is done, I throw on a conductive coat and then plasma it with titanium or tungsten so it ends up looking and performing like armor. It’s not CNC or SLS-level, but it’s fast, cheap, and honestly feels like wasteland engineering brought to life. Next step is figuring out how to make the damn thing move around like in the game. If I can get it rolling and turning its head, I’ll consider that a win.

[Skippy_skefnietof]

I am currently in the planning fase of printing and building my own feeder boat used for fishing. Its my first big design project and a big multi material printer would help so much with this. Loads of nooks and crannys that would need good break away supports.

please let me win

[StirCwazy]

I want to use the K2 Pro Combo to bring my simple but creative designs to life—practical, fun accessories that I sell on Etsy to keep my passion for 3D printing alive. What makes my project stand out is twofold: first, I focus on showing how even small, everyday prints can inspire creativity and help fund future designs; second, I design and print exclusively using a Mac. Since most workflows are geared toward Windows, my testing and feedback from a Mac environment could be especially valuable to the community and to Creality, helping ensure the K2 Pro is as seamless and versatile as possible for every kind of user.
