If you are here then you already know that the Ender 3 V2 is a great choice for us beginners in the 3D printing rhelm. When you do your studying, be sure to look at videos from Dr. Vax over at the YouTube. You will find that there is really no comparison when it comes to 3D print quality at this price. I am 100% green when it comes to 3D printing but found that this printer was fairly easy to assemble as it is mostly done for you. I was up and printing in just a couple of hours. There was a small problem with my order. I reached out to the seller late in the day and to my surprise, I got a super quick response. We went back and forth on the issue in some email. In about 15 minutes we had come to an agreement and I was SUPER satisfied. It is hard and getting harder to find sellers that actually care about their customers. With so much of our purchases being made online it seems that the human factor and customer satisfaction is just fading away. This is NOT the case with this seller! If you are wanting this printer and you are worried about getting good customer service .... worry no more and go ahead with this seller. Did I say that the seller is wonderful yet? LOL! I hope you enjoy your printer as much as I am enjoying mine.

Had this thing for two weeks now after I bought it to replace my old Ender 3 which broke. This thing is one awesome machine for someone who loves to make DIY projects! The print quality is very good, about the same if not better than my local library’s 3D printers. The prints are very smooth without much of the layers showing, which is incredible for such a fast printer. The speed is also just insane, as it can knock out a big print in just under 5 hours, which my old Ender 3 would normally print a file that size up to 15-24 hours. The features it has like the creality cloud app to track prints real time is a great thing for peace of mind. The temperature control is great on it, it keeps the temperature around the set threshold as needed to melt filament quickly for fast printing speeds. For the filament I use, the nozzle needs to be at 220-240 degrees and the bed needs to be at 40-60 degrees. The nozzle temperature might spike by a couple degrees when it initially heats up, but the machine automatically turns the fan on which helps stabilize the temperature and keep it rock solid on 220 degrees. The bed temperature hovers at the set threshold just fine, while also might spike initially. The printer comes with everything you need to tune it and do maintenance on it. It comes with several wrenches and a little bit of white filament, and other tools. Speaking of maintenance, you won’t need to do much as it has auto bed leveling, and it levels the bed before every print and also cleans itself which is a major upgrade from my Ender 3 as it needed a ton of maintenance, the bed was a pain to adjust, and all for a very slow printing speed that took forever and the print quality was poor. The bed adhesion on this printer is also very good and even without applying glue! Overall it is worth the money, especially for a casual user who doesn’t need a large printer like the K2. Very well worth the upgrade from my Ender 3, would highly recommend if you are looking for a good budget printer that is very technologically advanced and will do large prints in just a few hours.

It takes some practice to level the bed if you are new to printing, but once you figure it out, it rocks! I can't comment on speed because all printers are slow to me, but the quality is a home run! Love it! Great deal for the price!

The K2SE is an excellent printer for users who are still interested in learning and growing within the 3D-printing ecosystem, but who no longer want to spend the majority of their time troubleshooting basic hardware issues. While it may not be a flagship, top-tier machine by today’s standards, it represents a significant step forward—especially when compared side-by-side with older platforms like the Ender 3 Pro. Out of the box, the K2SE delivers a level of refinement that once required extensive upgrades on earlier printers. Features such as automatic bed leveling, filament runout detection, a sturdier frame with vibration-dampening feet, and a properly supported raised Z-axis bed all come standard. The addition of cloud access and a fluid web interface—complete with optional root access for advanced users—bridges the gap between a consumer-friendly machine and a system that still rewards technical curiosity. My first print, a simple Kirby model, was intentionally done with minimal tuning to get a baseline feel for the machine. The results were impressive, especially coming from years of compensating for aging components on my Ender 3. With that printer long overdue for a new extruder, I had grown accustomed to managing variables that simply don’t exist on the K2SE. The consistency and reliability here are immediately noticeable. Although I didn’t have the budget to add the multi-filament CRT system at launch, the printer’s upgrade path is clearly well thought out. Planned expansions like an enclosure, camera monitoring, and multi-material support make it easy to justify future investments. I would also welcome a firmware or hardware update that introduces Bowden extruder support, as it could further improve filament switching speeds and overall print performance. As someone who has stuck with the same Ender 3 since long before touchscreens, CR-Touch, and modern quality-of-life upgrades became commonplace, it’s refreshing to see Klipper remain a core component of the K2SE. For users who are on the fence about moving away from heavy DIY builds, this printer strikes a compelling balance—offering reliability and speed without sacrificing control. Perhaps the most underrated benefit is time savings. The K2SE is noticeably faster than older models, and its intuitive touchscreen interface makes it accessible even for non-technical users in my household. After setup, my wife and children can confidently start prints on their own, which speaks volumes about the usability of the system. Print quality alone justifies the upgrade for patient users. While some may find the stock cooling fans slightly underpowered, the machine compensates with excellent compatibility for multi-tool and threaded expansion systems—an advantage over many Bowden-dependent designs that require significant modification for production or multi-material workflows. And as a final bonus, despite being scheduled for February delivery, the K2SE arrived weeks early. Getting this machine ahead of schedule was the perfect way to confirm that the upgrade was absolutely worth it for the value price point.

The printer is awesome when it works and its nice to have a company on amazon be willing to sell a product all the way from China. My only complaint is after 1 month of trying to fidget with this printer I finally realized I was given a printer with a warped base and my Ender 3 V2 also has one fan that is broken that makes a screaming noise. I don't blame the amazon seller however it is really hard to contact Creality to get a replacement part I still am trying to get ahold of them, which is a bummer. I might have to purchase my own replacement parts. All in all this is a fun printer to work with and it shipped to me pretty fast. My review would of been 5 stars if my unit wasn't defective. Update: I was reached out to by the company and they sent me fan replacements. The base is still warped but I am grateful that they were considerate and sent me replacement fans.

I received a defective unit. I Spent days researching and diagnosing a defective printer. Wasting my time and money, burning through a roll of filament trying to fix this thing. It was a big headache, like many have said, on top of a hassle of a return, still waiting by the way. First I immediately noticed the bed wobble in this unit, this was off putting as it is the foundation of all of your prints, this is unacceptable. The linear bearings had too much slop, barely touch the bed and it wiggles. During operation you could hear it stuttering as it didn't move smoothly. Next the extruder was very loud and kept making loud clicking noise, finding out that it was worn extruder gears, they didn't align properly causing loud snapping sound every time it retracted. Worst of all was the machine would malfunction during print and my prints would be ruined, this took me a long time to figure out, wasted an entire roll of filament trying to configure my settings. But finally realized it was the machine, it kept randomly changing its feed rate mid way through my printers. It would change speed abruptly and start moving erratically. It was basically unusable, it couldn't even finish a simply square box.

My kids are having a blast designing 3d objects for this. It works great! They have used it for school projects and lost of fun little home projects. It really works great! We are absolutely beginners to 3d printing and it did take my hubby about a day to figure out leveling the thing properly, but once he did, it is easy for us to use. We are super glad we made this purchase!

I bought the K2 SE because it was inexpensive and I wanted to get into 3D printing. I had a Creality laser engraver that worked well, so I figured I'd go with the brand I knew. I bought the additional enclosure because I was planning to use this in the garage where my wood shop is, and I wanted to keep some dust out. I have been pushing this thing pretty hard for three months now and it has not so much as looked at me cross eyed. It takes everything I throw at it. The quality seems to be there, as nothing is wearing out. I have a little superlube oil and grease to keep up the maintenance, and I suspect any failures people report have been on unmaintained machines. If you're the type that drives your car without changing the oil, 3D printing is not for you. A quick note on 3D printing, for the uninitiated. When you see the one and two star reviews for the K2 SE, make sure you read why the reviewer is leaving the low rating. "Doesn't come with filament" - if you're not buying a combo with filament, none of the printers on the market come with filament. "Makes bubbles and pops when printing" - this is wet filament and not the fault of the printer (dry your filament). 3D printing is not a set it and forget it proposition, at least not at first. It requires a little skill (that can be built), a little knowledge (the U of Tube), and a little patience while you learn how to use the machine. Now for the machine itself... The print quality surprised me as a first time 3D printer user. I have purchased 3D printed items in the past and the lines were not something that impressed me. The K2 SE prints pretty much the same quality as the higher end Bambu Labs printers. The speed is all I could ask for, and I have fed this thing all kinds of PLA, PETG and TPU from Creality, Sunlu, Polymaker and AnyCubic without a problem. Any issues I have had have been the fault of the operator (me) not knowing I had to dry PETG before I use it. I have a Creality filament dryer now and dry my PETG right out of the package, then store it in an airtight container with dessicant. I have two printers running dried PETG sitting behind me right now and they're doing great. If I have a single complaint about the K2 SE, it's the bed size. At 215 x 220 it's smaller than the industry "standard" of 256 x 256, and if you get some of the larger prints that are designed for a "standard" sized printer, they won't fit the build plate. But I knew that coming into this, because they advertise the size right up front. Overall, I'm happy with the K2 SE. It was an excellent entry level printer and I have learned a lot from using it. I may even buy a second to add to my growing farm.

Makkelijk te installeren. Zorg wel dat je als je alles weer in elkaar zet de x-as waterpas vast zet, dit voorkomt problemen met het bed.

Ich hab die zweite z achse mit z spindel in meinen Ender 3 v2 Eingebaut , der Aufbau war nicht unbedingt sehr schwer und die teile fühlen sich sehr hochwertig an . Jedoch kommt die z spindel nicht geschmiert an .

Note la mejora de impresión con este doble eje , va genial y los materiales son bastante buenos , el montaje se me dio bien pero hay videos en internet para ver algunas posibles dudas
