At 15:00 you said it makes a nice tight seal, but the door doesn't, at least on mine. It's physically impossible. The handle is screwed on with a strip of material on the inside of the door, so when you close it, that strip is pressing against the inside. The rest of the door then has a gap between the glass and the inside. Thinking of adding some kind of foam seal to mine.
Are you sure? I think you're probably mistaken. Try sliding a piece of paper in between the door and the case at the top right or bottom right corner of the door frame. Or try just pressing on the door at those corners and see how it pushes in.
@lornelorne5727 ahh, I see what you're referring to. There is like a 1mm gap on the top and bottom corner, but there's no magnet there so I think for me it's good enough.
Very well shown ! Congrats on your new K2! I am anxiously awaiting mine to arrive. I have seen many arrive with broken foot screws unfortunately. They make left handed drill bits that sometimes back out the screw while drilling if not then use a screw extractor. I would use a M35 Cobalt drill bit or anything else xtra hard like that. Those hex Screws are very hard most times. It is better to allow the tops of those screws to have some wobble or else your prints will have layer artifacts from all the tests I have seen.
You need a better drill bit. Those are probably wood bits or at least not good for what's is most likely steel... probably hardened. If you're in the US I suggest Milwaukee Shockwave drill bits. I had the same sort of issue with the black oxide screws and the Milwaukee bits go through like butter. I then just used a tap in the counter clockwise direction to hopefully seat the tap and then back the screw out. Worst case scenario... drill the whole screw and threads and retap.
Doesn't the CFS have desiccant to "dry" the filament? I've seen other videos where there are covers hidden inside of the CFS underneath the spools. There should be a couple of bags in there. I didn't see you inspect those in your video. Other than that, great video and thank you for it all. You went into a lot more detail than others!
I wish I could order it but Creality store does not ship it to my country and Amazon isn't an option yet. Hope Creality goes through on their promise to make K1 series upgrade for the CFS.
I was so close to make a mistake and buy a P1S or X1C or A1 Combo....guess the K2 Combo is good afterall huh...better buy it then as it also have a large 350mm build volume.
I think a smaller nozzle would allow you to have better tolerances on 0 and .1 and .2 I would imagine that the community will be coming up with a new enclosure with heat and dessicant and a hygrometer for the CFS , Just as they have done for Bambus AFS. It will be a good project for all K2 Owners to build in the future. I think slowing down the prints, and adjusting extraction will help with K2 Stringing on PETG
Yeah a smaller nozzle would give better tolerances and messing around with the setting will also help. Yeah, waiting to see if the community can make the CFS into a dryer as well. Let me know if you know something about it.
This is the second time I see someone on youtube get a printer with a feet issue. Initially I suspected it was a packaging issue as that youtuber did not show how the machine was packaged. This is a non issue for me, as I would have fixed the foot myself as well, but there are tons of people out there that do not know to do it, or dont feel they should receive a printer this expensive with a missing foot. I Can confirm mine came flawless, and almost wish you have gotten mine so that this printer shines as it deserves. Its also a passive dryer. Under the rolls there are two compartments for desiccant pouches and those bring humidity down from 63% to 21% in my case. You could have had better results if you didn't miss this.
I saw those two package. Were you suppose to take them out of the plastic bag? I left mine in them..? Yeah the broken feet was a down for me, but I did get fixed and now everything is perfect.
@@Scratch3DPrinting Yes!! You can also buy desiccant ( or use the filament pouches) and place it in there to keep filaments such petg and nylon dry. If you live in an apartment please vent your unit out before printing asa and abs. Great attitude btw!
Don't blame yourself...this is the second video where I see a problem with a broken foot...seems to me like a problem at the factory assembly..too much a coincidence to not be.
Yeah I've been eyeing this printer and the legs are good vertically but are fragile horizontally. It won't be a problem when set up but they are known to break while being setup not at the fault of the user. Creality I've seen exchanges them for free if you get in contact. Great video too just nice and informative. Thanks!
For me it's much quieter than the K1 Max because I can print PLA with the door closed, and there's twice as many fans so they don't have to run as many RPMs.
There are good and bad on new 3d printers. For me so far the K2 Plus has been amazing. First layer and finishing the print has been really consistent. The size is great, but it is really heavy. The K1 series on the other hand are a bit wonky, some times it prints amazing, sometimes it just cant print.
@@Scratch3DPrinting Yeah but another thing that makes me think about is the price, is cheaper and it’s a multicolor printer with a big volume of printing. I never have a Creality printer, but it’s more cheaper than the X1C and this one is smaller and I think they have the same materials
@Scheettini Yeah, it's a bit cheaper or similar price but its WAYY Bigger. The bigger volume is just amazing. I'll do more testing and make videos about that on the K2 plus.

huh, that's interesting. On mine it seal nicely without any gap. Hope you can get it figure out.

Thanks. You will love your k2 plus one it's arrive! Yeah I will try to get screw extractor and see if I can take the broken screw out.
If you are planning to use orca slicer, be great if u can test the profile and perhaps do a vid on it? thanks
Yes definitely, I will try to make it work with orcaslicer and will make a video on it.

alot of k2 has broken feet when it arrives it seems..
That's good to know that it's not just mine.

I didn't see you inspect those in your video. Other than that, great video and thank you for it all. You went into a lot more detail than others!
ahh I see. I did went over it on the video, but cut it out for some reason. I'll have to take them out of the package and place it back in there.
I wish I could order it but Creality store does not ship it to my country and Amazon isn't an option yet. Hope Creality goes through on their promise to make K1 series upgrade for the CFS.
Yeah, the cfs on the k1 series would be great.
Once you get it 100% dialed in this will be a beast. I have the K1 Max and this runs faster and quieter. I am impressed so far.
That is very true. The k2 plus is a beast compare to the k1 max.
I was so close to make a mistake and buy a P1S or X1C or A1 Combo....guess the K2 Combo is good afterall huh...better buy it then as it also have a large 350mm build volume.
Yeah the K2 Plus is working great, I have been printing for a week now and it has not given me trouble, plus the size is amazing!

all i know is if i get mine and the foot is broken, i want a new one lol. Oh man i didn't release it wasn't a dryer as well. thats lame
Yeah it was kinda disappointed that the screw broke and it wasn't a dryer. But still a really nice 3d printer.

@Foreign_Tropical ahh thanks, I'll do that. But I still think a dry CFS would still be better.
Don't blame yourself...this is the second video where I see a problem with a broken foot...seems to me like a problem at the factory assembly..too much a coincidence to not be.
Phewww glad it was not me tilting it. This thing is really heavy.
Not second, 5th time maybe. Yes this is package problem.

And try not to move it unless you lift it vertically and place it down vertically.
For me it's much quieter than the K1 Max because I can print PLA with the door closed, and there's twice as many fans so they don't have to run as many RPMs.
Yes that is true, it does run a lot quieter than the k1 max, and the motor are much quieter too.
Screw Extractor set is the name
Ahh thanks.
Jakość wydruku jak z Ender 3. Katastrofa.
Jednak tylko Bambulab dzisiaj jest warte kupienia.
That's why there is no plug on the cfs vs thr ace.. the dryer..
That could be the reason why.
I want so bad this printer. But I always read bad things about this printer, I have a Bambu Lab A1 and I need a bigger printer.
There are good and bad on new 3d printers. For me so far the K2 Plus has been amazing. First layer and finishing the print has been really consistent. The size is great, but it is really heavy.

Bruhh... it's bigger than YOU !!
haha! I know this thing is HUGE! I was able to fit in it's box LOL.
