K2 Plus

Had the Creality K2 for about a week. So many more issues than with my Bambu A1, including adhesion, plate not level on unboxing, etc. I've been making some lenience and trying new things, but not it's all about supports.

I have a model of a bridge. Prints 1/2 bridge, print 2 for the full thing. It has a flat underside parrallel with the ground at the apex.

I tried Tree supports, I tried grid supports. Neither is good. Tree supports still ended up with unsmooth underside, with stringing that easily pulled off. The grid was not only terrible to remove, but it left so much junk on the underside and loose stringing.

I could REALLY use some help. I am using Soleyn Ultra PLA and the following settings (only listing ones I selected, everything else was left at factory defaults:

Type: Tree (auto)
Style: Tree Slim + Hybrid
Threshold angle: 30
On Build Place Only - Check
Support critical regions only - Check
remove small overhangs - Check

Type: Normal (auto)
Style: Grid
Threshold: 30
On Build Plate Only - Check
Remove small overhangs - Check

It happened after I used cheap PETG.
Do you know what I should do?

MY SETUP:

-K2 Plus

-CFS x2

-Stock Textured PEI plates

-Stock PTFE tubing

-Creality CFS Stand (returning, it sucks)

-Creality RFID High Speed PLA

-Creality CR-PETG

-Sunlu Basic PLA

-Sunlu High Speed PLA

-3.5in Floppy Disk Swatch STLs

-3.5in Floppy Disk Printer Labels

-Swatch Label Generator

ERRORS:

-FO0528：Printer seems to be printing without extruding.

-FR2849：Retract issue, filament cannot be returned to CFS hub.

-FR2865: Feed issue, filament failed to exit extruder.

BACKSTORY:

I've been printing non-stop on my K2 Plus w/CFS the past month since I bought it. I had a couple user errors, but nothing else this whole time.

Bought and I stalled a 2nd CFS and it was printing just fine.

Bought the Creality CFS stand and moved the CFS machines onto it. Printed fine for a few days.

THE PROBLEM:

For the past 3 days it's been failure to feed or retract. Every. Single. Print.

I spent the better part of yesterday taking the CFS and extruder apart repeatedly. Swapped the nozzle, replaced and shortened all of the PTFE tubing, clipped the CFS springs, cleaned all gears, moved the buffer box. Everything YouTube and Google was telling me would fix the problem.

Nothing was helping and I was looking up the Creality customer service email to reach out to them when I realized something (so obvious now); every single print failed during the ironing stage at some point, which is weird because I did ironing tests when I first got the printer. I had put in the best settings to use in the slicer, but I only started using the ironing feature around the time the failures started.

I opened up Creality Print to double check the settings and lo and behold, the ironing settings were reset back to default for some reason (30mm/10%). I'm guessing when I had to reboot my computer for an update at some point, I didn't notice that I never saved the updated ironing settings. Naturally, Creality Print opened with the last saved profile which included the stock ironing settings.

SOLUTION:

I changed to the correct settings (30mm/25%), SAVED, and hit print; 3 prints in and no errors!

CONCLUSION:

I believe the stock low speed/flow setting caused back pressure in the nozzle which lead to deforming the filament above the cutter, thus not allowing the filament to retract into the PTFE property and then getting jammed.

Does anybody know what it means and how to fix it? Every time I start any print Creality Cloud sends me this. It is not about filament and everything seems fine

A few weeks ago I posted here looking for testers for my K2 companion app. Today, thanks to you, it's officially live on Google Play as a full public release.

Huge thank you to everyone who joined the beta. Your feedback directly shaped the app: overnight notification misses on Samsung got fixed, the remote camera was reworked for much lower latency, and CFS filament mapping and multi-printer support both exist because testers asked for them. This community genuinely built half the feature list.

What it does:

• Live dashboard with print progress, temperatures, chamber light toggle and camera
• Full remote monitoring and control from anywhere, no port forwarding or VPN needed
• Live camera feed both on your home network and remotely
• CFS multi-colour filament mapping: pick which loaded slot prints each colour when printing from the printer, no re-slicing
• Edit CFS spool colours and materials from your phone
• Control of the K2's built-in AI failure detection, with sensitivity tuning the stock app doesn't expose
• Reliable print-complete and failure notifications with a camera snapshot attached
• Cancel individual objects mid-print while the rest of the plate keeps going
• Live tuning: pressure advance, velocity limits, PID calibration
• Klipper config editor with automatic backups, plus full config backup/restore to your phone
• G-code / Klipper console
• Bed mesh viewer
• File browser with print start and filament mapping
• Auto-discovery of your K2 on the network, and automatic switching between local and remote mode
• In-app SSH terminal for the tinkerers
• Multi-printer support for K2 fleets

Works with the K2 and K2 Plus, both confirmed on real printers by beta testers. The K2 Pro runs the same firmware family so it should work too, and I'd love a Pro owner to confirm.

It's a small one-time purchase, no subscription, no ads, no account required. Remote access for your first printer is included; there's an optional one-time unlock for remote access on a whole fleet.

I'm a one-man repair workshop in the UK and this app is a big part of keeping the lights on, so every download genuinely matters. If you use it and like it, a Play Store review helps more than you'd think.

Happy to answer any questions, and I'm still taking feature requests. The beta group stays open if anyone wants early access to future updates.

First time creality owner bought a used K1C a month ago. Very happy with the prints and quality so far, but now I have a broken stepper motor lead on my extruder. Tried soldering, but it's still not connecting. I'm going to replace it, but I'm noticing other issues, crispy or skinned wires. Is this normal, do I need to replace the whole assembly, I can't get the front cover to close.

Hi Makers,

After four months of work, I'm finally ready to share my Hackman3D Orbit Controller with everyone.

This is by far the biggest project I've ever worked on. I spent countless hours designing, prototyping, printing, assembling, testing, rewriting the firmware, and writing the documentation. My goal was simple: make a DIY 3D navigation controller that is affordable, reliable, and as easy to build as possible.

I've been using this controller as my daily CAD controller for the past two months, and I now feel confident enough to release it.

That said, this is only the beginning.

The assembly guide and documentation will continue to improve based on your feedback. If something isn't clear, if you find a mistake, or if you have ideas to simplify the build, please let me know. I'll do my best to answer every question and update the guides whenever needed.

This project is completely open source, so I also encourage everyone to modify it, improve it, remix it, or adapt it to their own needs. If you make something better, I'd genuinely love to see it.

I hope this project helps more people discover 3D navigation without spending hundreds of dollars.

Have fun building it, and thank you to everyone who supported this project over the last four months. 🚀

I wish you happy printing.

I was just unboxing a K2 Pro Combo I got from eBay directly from Creality. Thing looked brand new and had all the tape, stickers, etc. However, once I got to the final step of setting it up, which was to put the glass lid on the top, I realized the lid won't sit flush! One corner of the lid is always popped up, enough so that the seal is compromised. What's the issue here? Am I doing something wrong? Is the glass warped or the frame itself?

This fairy garden swing goes perfectly with the rest of our fairy garden collection that we have been making for mom's fairy garden! Prints with tree supports for the best results. Printed in white to check print settings, ready to paint.

Just resize to fit your garden!
