Looking to buy first multicolor

The SnapMaker U1 or Flashforge Creater 5 are multi toll printers. If they’re in your budget and you only want a max of 4 colors then they’re good options. Otherwise, I have a Creality K2 and have had nothing but a good experience with it. The K3 is launching soon however so you might want to wait for that.

Creality K2 Standard: The Filament Graveyard, the ultimate poop master.

The video criticizes the Creality K2 for its excessive filament purging during color changes and its partially open-source firmware, which limits user control and development.

I Can't Tell if this Printer is All Hype!

Yeah that is especially true of Creality. Creality’s machines sent to reviewers are assumed to be better inspected. Ever hear of the Creality lotto? If you are lucky you get a great working K2 but if you aren’t lucky you get a pain in the but K2 with problems. Reviewers usually win the Creality lotto.

Recommendation, H2S vs P2S vs K2 Plus. Or something else?

I wish I had seen a comment like this a year ago. We got a k2 for our office, worked great for like 6 months but now it shits itself after every other print and I’ve never been closer to painting the walls with brain.
