I have had my Creality Ender 3 Pro for a while now and I have upgraded it quite a lot. Lately I have been thinking about wether I should put in some more money (better hotend, maybe new steppers, maybe enclosure, maybe part cooling fan) or if I should buy a new printer that is a more of complete package. A bit more build volume would be nice as well.
I am intrigued by the Bambu Labs printers but I don’t like their somewhat proprietary approach. So I have been looking around for competitors and I saw that Creality has shown their new K2 Plus with an AMS. I wonder if it’s worth waiting for that. The specs sound good. Is the K1 good now? I heard it had some problems in the beginning.
Oh I fully understand and appreciate your position. I’m pro open-source-everything, but I made the pragmatic choice in this case because, well, years of fiddling with cheap printers made me realize that I really am not into this for the fiddling but more the end product, and if nothing else, the Bambu printers are really good at damn near being appliances.
Hell, my 2d printers are more of a pain to keep working than this thing is, heh.
