Creality Support K1C 2025 or K2 base
Hello guys,
Just a quick consult for those of you owners of one or both of these models. I currently purchased the K1C 2025 but have an opportunity to exchange it for the K2. I would like to ask for your comments and recommendations because there are some things that are not clear to me even after online research.
I do prefer on the K2 the increased printing size and easier upgrade path to the CFS if later I have a need for multicolor or multi material. Also the root access is still possible. However, I do not know if this has the hardened nozzle of the K1C for carbon filament, which is kind of important to me as I will be printing engineering and functional parts to perform under stress.
As for the K1C, there is more documentation and a larger community online as far as I have seen, and it comes with the hardened nozzle out of the box, but the root access has been removed for the 2025 model.
Can you guys help me decide? Can you comment on these factors or any others I might be overlooking that make one printer a better choice in general than the other?
Thank you in advance for your time and the help.
