3D printer manufacturer Creality expands the K series with K2 and K2 PRO, two 3D printers that enable multicolor & multi-material printing with different build volumes.
Both models can be paired with CFS for multicolor printing (up to 4 CFS units for a maximum of 16 colors) or to create snap-away or water-soluble support for minimal post-processing.
Creality’s CFS also functions as a smart filament system that automatically identifies the colour and filament type you are using (requires Creality RFID filaments) or, upon filament runs out, it automatically relays printing if the same filament is detected in another slot. When not printing, the CFS keeps filaments dry and ready to print with built-in desiccants. The built-in display on CFS shows the humidity and temperature inside and how many CFS are connected.
The K2 and K2 Pro, featuring die-cast aluminium alloy frame parts, offer a rock-solid platform for the toolhead’s movement. The X-axis is a rigid steel linear rail that is highly resistant to wear, delivering consistent precision over time. Paired with a step-servo motor system, the printer achieves ultra-fine extrusion for exquisite print details — all while maintaining smooth operation at speeds up to 600 mm/s and acceleration of 20,000 mm/s² (K2 Plus accelerates at a maximum 30,000 mm/s²).

Both K2 and K2 Pro feature Creality’s next-generation levelling method — Smart Auto Levelling, which speeds up bed levelling by probing only where your model will be printed. Connectivity options include USB and 2.4G Wi-Fi on both models, while K2 Pro adds an Ethernet port for enhanced professional workflows. A responsive 4-inch touchscreen makes navigating the interface effortless. Activate Quiet Mode to get an ultra-quiet printing experience. K2 has built-in 8GB of ROM, and K2 Pro has 32GB of ROM — ideal for handling more model files.
K2 and K2 Pro will be available in both standard and combo versions. K2 starts at $549 for the standard model, and $699 for the combo. K2 Pro starts at $849 for the standard model, and $1049 for the combo. Available to order on August 25 — through Creality Official Store, Amazon, and authorised partners.
