hey guys i know this question has been asked a thousand times i haven been reading all the stuff posted here already but i still felt it would be better to ask the current community standard
i am a college student new to the 3d printing side of things (in terms of owning a machine) my first interaction of working with 3d printers was printing functional parts in pla for the electronics project using the creality k1
it was a mind blowing experience watching that thing at work the ability of making stuff from nothing with a thin strand of filament was amazing
right now i am planning on buying a printer for my own use for my own projects that i want to work on
so here is the dilemma :
i want to buy the k2 with cfs (this is the only one available from where i am present since the stock k2 is already was sold out) due to the controversial practices of bambu i want to own whatever i buy and do what ever i want and i dont want another company have a say in this matter but i also dont want to ignore the fact that bambu produces good hardware (and there is a way to lock it down from internet) plus i want to print various carbon fiber stuff for some of my parts (i can just use the k2 without the cfs since cfs has issues with abrassive stuff and also i need to buy a hardened steel nozzle ig ?)
but the bambu labs p2 looks extrememly tempting to me it looks like an absolute workhouse but as i said the controversy is what makes me look at it in bad light what if they decide to become like stupid hp printer stuff ? other than that i cant find to say anything about these printers they seem like industrial machines that just work plus they can handle CF filaments too
i know creality has some isues with quality control and in general their printers at times could lead you to have bad experience even in the innovation labs i had to fix the k1 at times but taking out the bowden tube (but this is a problem with most 3d printers ig and also filament issue ?) and some times clogging but i can clean it out so not so bad
i request the community here to over some arguments why between theese two which is better and why based on if you haves used these printers and how they perform would absoulutely love to hear your insight s which could break this deadlock i have
i am still leaning on buying the creality k2 with the cfs it goes for like ₹ 59,999.00and the ps2 is like₹ 67999.00
i am planning on buying this now before some stupid tariffs come into effect in my country
sorry if my englsih sucks ;(
would be grateful for zillion times for you insights
thanks in advance ;)
