Every color change costs filament, and the purge is part of the print · review
Creality’s K2 with its CFS color unit: a 260 mm cube volume, a stated 600 mm/s, and up to 16 colors if you chain four CFS units.
A 260 mm cube and a stated 600 mm/s put the K2 Combo between the 220 mm systems and the much larger K2 Plus. The listing credits three step-servo motors for its motion.
CFS units chain together, so the listing reaches 16 colors with four units. Starting with one and adding more is the practical route.
At 65.9 lb, this is a printer for a bench that will not move. Measure before you order.

The listing says four CFS units linked reach 16 colors. Check what this combo includes, as each CFS is a separate unit.
The sensor probes only the area the print will use, which shortens the start of each job.
7.3/ 10
A step up in volume, with a sensible upgrade path. Check how many CFS units come in the box before you plan on 16 colors.
