K2 SE 3D Printer, Support Multicolor Printing Needs CFS, 500mm/s High-Speed Printing, Auto Leveling, Vibration Control, Compact Desktop Upgrate 3D Printer, Print Size 220x215x245mm

First off: Prints great right out of the box. Prints fast. Great for the price. So far we are very glad we chose this printer to supplement our Ender 3. Manufacturer responds very well to product questions. Creality slicer has a lot of tunable settings and has a good set of built in calibration tests with tutorial. We have been using this printer for about 3 weeks. Things to know: The magnetically attached build plate has a wiper pad and alignment notches. Both great features, however this may limit your build plate options. Creality support can help if you have questions in regards to this. You pretty much HAVE TO USE GLUE STICK (this requirement is plainly printed on the build plate and.... they give you a glue stick). What they do not tell you is that you need glue as a "release" agent. Without glue, if you decide to cancel a print early and there are just a few layers on the bed, you will not be able to remove it from the build plate any easy way that we have found. Glue hint: If you need a nice surface on the bottom of the print, clean bed and use fresh glue application, and then clean the glue residue off of the bottom of the print. Otherwise you will see patterns from previous prints on the bottom surface. When you send a print, you have the option to bypass calibration. Do not bypass calibration, especially for the first print any time after the printer has been powered off. The control panel in this printer only provides essential functions. The Creality slicer is where all of the stuff is. Amazon site product descriptions for our exact item were not entirely accurate: Sadly... the really cool segmented articulated cable guide shown in one of the slides is not a real thing. Also there is text in one of the slides that indicates easy nozzle change. The manufacturer has an official video where the model is like the one we received. Search for: "Service Tutorial K1 SE Replacement Nozzle" which covers both of the above so you will know more about what to expect. Part of the greatness of our Creality Ender 3 is its almost primitive diy approach with custom firmware and a really complicated control panel and custom firmware and tons of upgrade options and knob tweaking and the fun of messing with stuff. You could totally take it apart and put it back together an not be nervous about it. In comparison: The K1 SE seems like something best meant to be used "as is", with Creality slicer and firmware. You can still mess with stuff, but that would be mostly through the Creality slicer. I think it is still "open source" as advertised, but you would have to be careful as this is a much more complex machine than something like the Ender 3.

Very well packaged and assembly was straight forward. The box appeared to take a bit of a tumble but plenty of rigid foam inside so nothing was damaged. Coming from an ender-5, print quality straight out of the box is great. I wouldn't say its quiet, much quieter than the ender-5 but it can be heard if you are, say, in another room. Included a 500g roll of Creality Hyper PLA, also have used Elegoo Rapid PETG using the presets for Creality Hyper PETG and that also works great. No bed adhesion issues at all, there is a glue stick included but have not had to use it. The tool kit is quite nice and the included flush cutters are way nicer than the pair that was included with my ender-5. Included a spare hot end and what I assume are some spare parts as well, but there is no mention of what any of them are in any of the included documentation. The included spool of Hyper PLA had several tangles in it and I had a few prints fail because of that. Creality slicer software is a little rough around the edges. Lots of settings for tweaking and seems to work well overall if you just want to load an STL, slice it, and print it. The overall design of the interface can be a little busy and its not abundantly clear what everything does. Most settings have little popups to help explain what they do, but they are often not very detailed or have grammatical errors.

I genuinely tried to give the Creality K2 Plus a fair shot because on paper this thing should’ve been incredible. Large format, enclosed, fast, multi-color capable — it LOOKS like Creality finally made a serious flagship printer. Instead, this has been one of the most frustrating and unreliable machines I’ve ever owned. And this wasn’t after months of abuse… this was by the SEVENTH PRINT. Issues started almost immediately: • One of the front glass door hinges literally separated from the glass because the adhesive failed. • The printer booted in Chinese/Japanese with no obvious English setup process. • Software bugs and weird slicer behavior started right away. Then the fault codes started rolling in: • FR2358 • BM0111 • BM2355 (“MCU task scheduling failed”) • CY2577 homing/Y-axis errors • Random spool holder “?” errors • Nozzle temp randomly reading 0°C • Failed starts and canceled prints for no reason And before somebody screams “user error” — no. I’m deep into fabrication, CAD, ASA printing, composites, engineering work, and custom automotive projects. I KNOW how to troubleshoot machines. This printer was fighting itself. The worst part is the inconsistency. You never trust the machine. Every print feels like gambling: • Random failures • Firmware bugs • CFS weirdness • Material profile conflicts • False errors • Endless recalibrations • TPU headaches • Prints stopping for no reason I spent more time troubleshooting than actually creating. What really sealed it for me was buying the competitor afterward. The print quality difference compared to Bambu wasn’t even CLOSE. The Bambu just worked: • Cleaner prints • Better surface finish • More consistent extrusion • Better software • Better ecosystem • Better reliability • Better overall experience The K2 Plus honestly felt like an unfinished beta product being tested on customers. The Bambu felt like a professional tool. That’s what makes this so disappointing — because the K2 hardware actually HAS potential. But Creality rushed this thing out before the firmware and user experience were ready. For a “flagship” machine at this price point, that’s unacceptable. I ended up returning mine after less than 10 prints because I completely lost confidence in it. I wanted to love it… but I bought a printer to build projects, not become a full-time unpaid Creality technician.

We started our 3D printing journey with an Ender 3 V2, thinking it was the go-to beginner printer. But after a few frustrating weeks, we returned it and took a chance on the Creality K1 SE—and wow, we haven’t looked back since. From the moment we unboxed it, the K1 SE felt like a premium experience. Setup was intuitive, the interface is clean and responsive, and the build quality is leagues ahead of what we expected at this price point. It’s fast, quiet, and shockingly reliable. We did run into one hiccup early on—the Unicorn nozzle was stuck and wouldn’t budge. Turns out, it just needed a bit of grease. Once that was sorted, it’s been smooth sailing ever since. Print Quality & Reliability - Filament adhesion is flawless. The bed grips like a champ—no warping, no lifting. - We’ve run 30+ prints since that first one, and not a single failure. That’s unheard of in the hobby. - The motion system is buttery smooth, and the auto-le- veling is spot-on every time. Beginner-Friendly, Yet Powerful If you’re new to 3D printing, skip the trial-by-fire with super budget models. Spend a little more for a lot better experience. The K1 SE gives you a quality experience right out of the gate. It’s forgiving, fast, and doesn’t require constant tinkering to get good results. The 600 mm/s print speed is efficient, precise, and awesome. Creality really nailed it with this one. Whether you’re printing functional parts, toys, or artistic models, the K1 SE delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal fuss. It’s not just a printer—it’s a confidence booster.

I got this Creality K2 SE 3D printer for myself and my 6-year-old son, and we love it. We’ve been printing almost 24/7 since the day we got it (it’s been a few months now) and we’ve had zero issues. It’s incredibly fast, surprisingly quiet for the speed, and feels solid and well built. The initial setup threw me off because the printer wouldn’t power on. Turns out, there’s a switch on the side that toggles between US and EU power standards, and mine came set to EU by default. Once I flipped it to US, it powered right on and worked perfectly. So if yours doesn’t start at first check that switch! As beginners, we also learned pretty quickly that most prints need supports, and successful prints often require a bit of trial and error. My biggest tip for new users: remember that many models require supports, and high-angle or overhang prints won’t succeed without them. Once we figured out the basics, we haven’t stopped printing. If you want a fast, dependable printer that works great for both hobby use and learning 3D printing with kids, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended.

Okay, I've owned this guy for a few months now, and I'm ready to review. This might be the best value FDM printer available in 2025. - Print quality? Super high. - Print speed? Very fast. - Wifi? Yep. - Prints basically any material you throw at it? Sure thing. Basically, this is the printer you should buy if you're getting a first printer. CoreXY printers like this one are SO much easier to get good prints out of than bed-throwers, it's just not even funny. Creality as a company isn't necessarily known for great QC and durability, but I've put this guy through his paces, printing dozens of centerpieces for a wedding, as well gifts for kids, home products, organization systems, you name it. Above all else, I love the extensibility of this printer. Start here, print 1 color. You want to print more materials and colors at once? You don't need a new printer - just get the addon system for this one. Need an enclosed printer so you can use toxic materials? Okay, get the add-on fan and print yourself the walls for this printer. Honestly, I've probably sold 5 of these to friends since buying mine, it's just such a great, easy to use printer. The auto-leveling is great, the Cure Slicer software interfaces super well and has all the modern features you want... The only person I wouldn't recommend this exact printer to as a first printer to get into the hobby would be someone who wants to print gaming minis, and that's just because no FDM printer will reach the quality of a resin printer... but unless that's you, if you want to buy a 3d printer, this is the one.

The gift that keeps on giving. Worth the money. Got this for our 12 year old son for christmas. I was intimidated by it at first but honestly set up waa really easy. Just make sure you remove all the foam, some of the foam pieces blend into the printer. The foam under the plate doesn’t get removed until after powering on after the plate lifts. It’s a learning process. But easy when you get the hang of it. After setup, download the creality cloud app for it. There’s a ton of pre-made prints on there. Self leveling is a blessing if you’re a beginner like we are. Apply glue to the plate before printing. I’ve been using liquid elmers school glue, but i read the purple elmers glue sticks are better. Haven’t had any issues with printing simple things. Learning how to add supports and resize things as i go. Super easy to use from your phone via bluetooth. Functions as it should. Haven’t had any clogging. Quieter than I expected.

I was super scared to get this because some other had said it was not great, but it was just as easy as they say to set up and has worked FANTSTICALLY. I did not want to spend more $$$ on another brand for the print size this has and you dont have to, all those open source sites let you download files and you can open them right up on this printer/slicer. It really has been so much fun, and now I get to try to create. Worth it for beginners and beyond. We will see but 10+ prints in and this is great. You can also expand this to multi color printing but that will also cost an extra 350, so maybe yes maybe no.... time will tell. Update: On day 29 of the 30 day return period, the extruder gear broke some of the teeth. I called Amazon, and they are sending a replacement and taking back the old one. So I am sad it stopped working, but Amazon had a great response. I know they sell a harden steel gear that I will certainly purchase, and more mods are also available for the extruder. (because of this failure, I took off a star).

Rápida e precisa.
