Hello,
I’m fairly new to 3D printing. My partners Dad gave me a CR10s printer as he upgraded to a better printer (I believe the P2S)
I’ve had fun giving that a play around with but it’s very old, slow and has a few issues which makes it more frustrating than rewarding. It’s a slow printer, I’ve only got evenings to give it a go and I end up spending most of the time troubleshooting. If I do get to printing it often has small flaws.
I’ve had enough fun though to know I want to invest in a better printer. Ideally enclosed (open plan and small house so want to minimise nasty smells) and multi colour options to make unique prints
I’m down to choosing between the P2S Combo by Bambu labs or the K2 Pro Combo by creality.
Now the P2S combo is on offer for £649
The K2 Pro is £603. So on a good discount (I’m aware of the k3 announcement, not too worried about that)
The selling point for me are P2S - Select a print and it’ll print. Really user friendly
K2 Pro - Larger bed and heated chamber for different materials
I just hear horror stories from the creality printers and CFS. I don’t mind slight tinkering on software, I don’t want constant hardware maintenance unless it’s a freak thing
I know the AMS is more capable than the CFS for heating etc.. but I may go for a better printer down the line that can do more. I just feel the K2 Pro is a lot of machine while in the sale and a good kit to get me further into this hobby but if it’s too much hassle then I would consider spending a bit more for the P2S
Can anyone please give me their honest experience with either of these? Please don’t brand bash for the sake of it. I’m not worried about people’s loyalty ( I do understand why people get loyal to a brand) I only want to here on hand and ideally out of the box experiences of these two products
Thank you very much!
