3-D printing

[DonyaQuick]

I was looking at the Creality k2 pro combo but wasnt really sure on it.
I was also looking at the anycubic kobra 3 (i think) but found tons of bad reviews.
Id prefer atleast a 300mm by 300 mm bed if its bigger its better, im willing to buy a KCM to add onto a printer as well if the printer is comptible with CFS.

If you are looking for an enclosed one bigger than 300x300mm, the Creality K2 Plus is 350x350mm build plate. Also I sadly I have to say +1 to avoiding the Kobra series. The Kobra 2 Plus was my first filament printer, and at this point I have to admit that it was a bad purchase...other than the fact that it was cheap and big enough that it finally lured me into the filament side of the 3D printing hobby. The Kobra 2 had regular jams and also developed some quite bizarre calibration/precision problems affecting the shape of curves that I was never able to fully fix. Maybe there was a fix for the small curve accuracy problem but I tried a lot of things and nothing worked. I've had no such cryptic troubles with the K2 Plus.

I really like the K2 plus its a tad above my budget that i have to spend on one unfortunately.
im between the K2 pro or the Elegoo Neptune 4 max with a KCM.
Or would it be better just to do a Newer Ender with the KCM?

Any recommendations for larger multi color 3d printers?
My current printer is the ender 3v2 which i use a ton. But the problem is the size in all honesty. Plus i want to do multi color.

I will be keeping my ender now it just definitely wont be used as much.
Thanks for any recommendations!

@Nifty-Chicken is looking at the Bambu H2S. large format and multi capable. Not sure what your budget is though. The K2 Pro seems like a decent setup for the price too. I've also heard a lot of bad reviews about the Kobra unless you plan to klipper mod it and run it that way.

I'm keeping my eye on the Snapmaker U1, but it's still only in preorder right now.

I own a Neptune 4 MAX, but it’s not a dual extruder. It’s still a very good printer. It’s quite the beast in terms of size!

I've had almost all Creality printers.

For the most part, I've been happy with them.

But what I'm realizing is that almost every legitimate 3D printing business is using Bambu Lab printers.

I've even seen a lot convert from other ecosystems, including Prusa... peeps swapping out entire print farms for Bambu Labs.

It actually goes quite a bit against my nature because I am totally against Apple and their ecosystem (walled garden, expensive, etc) ... and people compare Bambu to Apple.

That said, I just really love the idea of having the best printer that just works.

It's been helpful to see people that have been in 3D printing for over 10 years that have tremendous experience modding printers, hacking software, etc, and them even move over to Bambu Labs.

I still haven't pulled the trigger on my H2S... But that's mostly because I'm debating between it and the P2S.

... do I really "NEED" the larger print bed of the H2S?

BTW:

It's amazing what people are inventing.

This guy does a new invention every day, and some are lame and some are pretty cool. This one is pretty cool.

Of course you do!

If I was going to get the Neptune 4 Max i would get a co print to upgrade it so this way it can print 4 colors.
