TESTING METHODOLOGY

    Once again to test this printer by Creality I used their latest print software (Creality Print 6.2) by manually entering the same settings I’ve used to date with all FDM printers (quality of 0.16mm, 20% infill density and cubic infill pattern).

    Nothing else has changed of course so again I’ll be using 2 different sized models (downloaded from Cults3D / member Eastman) to record completion time at 100% speed. Second thing to test are noise levels and so once again I’ll be using my ExTech HD600 decibel meter placed roughly 30cm away to record the maximum noise coming from the 3D printer while printing. As for the 3rd test with the help of an UPS and two power meters I decided to also record not only the lowest and highest but also the average instant power consumption of the 3D printer in my hands.

    I’ve never had any complaints from Creality models when it comes to print quality and the K2 Pro Combo is not an exception (timelapse is available on both TikTok and YouTube).

    Once again my sole concern is filament waste when printing complex multi-color models. Just take into account that not only did these two tiny pieces take longer to print compared to the large Deadpool bust but I also had to "sacrifice" 10 times the amount of filament as you can see from the above picture (and this isn't just with the K2 Pro Combo, it's a general issue with all multi-color printers).
