Compromised value: Creality K2 Plus combo review

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@TTRacingYT Every manufacturer wants to emulate the success of Bambu Lab, including Creality with its new flagship: the K2 Plus. This large format coreXY 3D printer aims to be feature packed, fast and high quality. In this detailed review, I put the K2 Plus through its paces to find its strengths and expose its weaknesses. These machines were provided free of charge by Creality for the purposes of review. They have been tested in accordance with my review policy. All opinions expressed are my own. Each is being donated to a local school in the near future. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/reviewpolicy.html Purchase the Creality K2 Plus Combo (affiliate): Creality store: https://shrsl.com/4uxem 0:00 Introduction CR-10 Smart review: https://youtu.be/ccPqyqJlOLc End of year video: https://youtu.be/ioAUfcPEq6E 0:56 Specifications and price 1:55 Unboxing and setup K2 Plus download page: https://www.creality.com/pages/download-k2-plus 3:44 Identity crisis Creality Print GitHub: https://github.com/CrealityOfficial/CrealityPrint 5:27 Slicing options: Creality Print vs OrcaSlicer Creality Print GitHub: https://github.com/CrealityOfficial/CrealityPrint OrcaSlicer GitHub: https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer 8:20 PLA powerhouse 9:01 TPU woes Creality TPU wiki: https://wiki.creality.com/en/k2-flagship-series/k2-plus/print-tpu-filament 10:35 PETG and ASA not quite there 13:00 CFS HueForge guide video: https://youtu.be/ua3DoRlmN-c 16:03 Other features, privacy and performance 18:10 Reliability, spares and support Creality spares: https://store.creality.com/collections/replacements 20:30 Conclusion Models featured in this video: 3Dbenchy: https://www.3dbenchy.com Smash!
