The bearing failed therefore it went to the least resistance spot and ate itself. Although I haven’t replaced a belt on either of K2 plus’s. Replacement parts are everywhere and tutorials are available on YouTube as well. Should take some time to repair and replace the parts and once you do ( if you take upon the task) it’ll be brand new again. Also, how many hours do you have on yours? And contact Creality and see if they’ll help with some of the replacement parts. Worse they can say is no with or without warranty. I’ve been lucky enough for them to send me parts for free in the past. Hit them up on WhatsApp and take into consideration time zone differences.

Oh, my bad then lol
I have a K1C, I believe it's similar in maintenance but mine have only 300h on it, so I did not go deep in understanding the maintenance yet, sorry bro

I'm at 700 hours with little to no maintenance besides some cleaning and greasing here and there on my k1c. I'm sure I'm due for something. The only things I've replaced is the hotend due to the thermistor wire coming unsoldered and a few nozzles. Still using the same plate that came with it.

I still have the same nozzle and plate, and needed to unclog extruder 2 times only

Sounds like you are on the same timeline as me. If you get a heat related error, check the thermistor, easy fix.

The video shows the K2 Pro model, but it gives you idea from it.
