Ready to see a 3D printer so big it makes everything else in the 3D printing world look small? In this video, I walk you through the full setup and test run of the Creality K2 Plus, a monster of a machine with serious capabilities. From unboxing to power-up, I’ll show you how this 100-pound printer goes together, what surprised me during assembly, and a few tweaks I had to make right out of the box (including a factory-mounted door issue). I’ll also cover installing the display, the glass bed, and the Creality Filament System (CFS), plus a look at the buffer and cable setup. If you’re curious about whether the K2 Plus is beginner-friendly or more of a pro-level machine, this video should give you a solid idea. We wrap it all up with a successful Benchy print and a quick size comparison with the Bambu X1 Carbon to really show off the scale. Spoiler: this thing is huge. If you’re thinking about scaling up your 3D printing game, the K2 Plus might be just the beast you need.
