Poor Uncle Jessy will NEVER hear the end of the door joke lmao
Sorry, had to pause the video to make this comment. But the way you closed the door is not going to shatter it. What shattered the door was when it swung outward and hinges applied a lot of pressure to the glass in a small area, that’s what shattered it. Closing it hard so that pressure is spread out across the sides of the glass isn’t going to break it as easily as two hinges in a small area. I’d be more impressed if you tipped the printer on the side like Uncle Jessie did and it didn’t break. Now, on to watching the rest of the video.

How’s the print quality compared to bambu? I had a k1 for a short time and loved it but it had screen issues so I returned it and bought a bambu p1s. The print quality on bambu is just a little better. Curious how this k2 stacks up.
I been waiting for this since end of last year when I first heard about it, great quick review, excited, need to make a built in file for a poop basket 🤔
Looks awesome love the build size. Just purchased A p1s and ams but it was a bit pricey due to not much Supply in NZ. Creativity has a bigger Market in NZ so glad to see this unit coming soon :) (went with the bambu cos i needed multi color)
this printer seems to be my next step after I learn more about 3d printing. Just had the A1 mini for less than a week and I'm blown away, I definitely want a large printer next and having multicolor and enclosed seems to be great.

at 0:53 you point your finger at a DC input. Should be 24V. Is the CFS powered by the printer? If so, and if that applies to another 3 CMS, why should a DC input be installed there if you cannot operate the unit "without a printer"? In my opinion, this could mean that the CMS can heat up after all and couldn't there also be a humidity control? Or is that the feed for the bypass filament? Doesn't look like it to me, but then where is the feed? at 3:02 I recognize a humidity symbol on the touch display to the right below the representation of the 1D spool. What setting options come up when you press it?
There’s another printer to add to my shopping list, loving the improvements and the 350x350x350 build area 🤩❤️🔥

Thanks for the introduction to the K2 Plus. This is just my opinion, these new enclosed printers are made for new to 3D printing people. If your not new, your not the targetted customer. Within this shift from previous generation machines with tons of YT info are of negative help to these new generation machines. These new generation machines are as close to plug & play machines as ever. Following old generation printers advice may cause damage to the new generation machines. KZread hasn't caught up to this ... recognizing the (unintended misinfo) will be buyer beware as the old generation is still relevent to still being sold old generation machines. In this new generation machine price range, they hold value to many fabrication/mfg companies ... they just don't realize it ... yet. Lol.

There is the ERCF and they have introduced a filament cutter system and more reliable filament buffer than the AMS. There is also a couple of toolchanger systems for them. It's an exciting time for us consumers right now, but let's face it, Bambu didn't invent much at all...they did package up everyone else's ideas and made an amazing product that everyone can enjoy but it's not perfect (no printer is)
