Compromised value: Creality K2 Plus combo review

Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing:    / @ttracingyt  

Every manufacturer wants to emulate the success of Bambu Lab, including Creality with its new flagship: the K2 Plus. This large format coreXY 3D printer aims to be feature packed, fast and high quality. In this detailed review, I put the K2 Plus through its paces to find its strengths and expose its weaknesses.

These machines were provided free of charge by Creality for the purposes of review. They have been tested in accordance with my review policy. All opinions expressed are my own. Each is being donated to a local school in the near future.
