Creality K2 Plus Combo review

The big machine on this shelf: a 350 mm cube volume, a 350 °C hardened nozzle, a chamber held at up to 60 °C, and CFS color switching.

A different class of machine

At 350 mm per side, it prints a single part that no other printer here can. That is the reason to buy.

Heat

A chamber held at up to 60 °C and a 350 °C nozzle with a hardened tip target materials that warp or abrade. Few printers at this price offer both.

Before you buy

It is large, heavy and expensive. Make sure your parts actually need 350 mm. If they do not, you are paying for space you will not use.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short

  • Hardened nozzle for wear-resistant filaments

Compromises

  • About 70 lb and a large footprint
  • Costs roughly three times an AD5X
  • Rated 4.2 out of 5, below the P1S Combo

Questions makers ask before buying

What filaments can it handle?

The listing names a 350 °C nozzle with a hardened steel tip and a chamber held at up to 60 °C. Check each filament maker’s range against those.

How large is it?

The build cube is 350 mm, or 13.78 in. The printer weighs 70.4 lb, so plan a solid bench.

Our score

7.6/ 10

Buy it for the volume and the heated chamber. For parts under 250 mm, the P1S Combo is the better purchase.
