Choosing filament for the Creality K2
The Creality K2 has hotend up to 300°C, bed up to 100°C, an enclosure, a hardened steel nozzle as standard and CFS support. That decides which filaments it prints well as it comes, and which need an upgrade first.
Out of the box it handles PLA, PLA Glow, PLA-CF, PETG, PETG-CF, ABS, ABS-CF, ASA, Nylon, TPU and PC. The lists below are the cheapest of each in stock on Amazon UK and Eryone UK right now, sorted by price per kilogram and filtered to the right diameter.
Temperatures are typical starting points from manufacturers' data sheets. The range printed on the reel always wins, because it varies between brands and colours.
Common questions
What is the best filament for the Creality K2?
PLA for most prints: it prints on the Creality K2 as it comes, barely warps and is the cheapest to buy (the cheapest reel in stock on Amazon UK and Eryone UK is £7.12/kg right now). For parts that need more strength, heat resistance or flex, it also prints PETG, PETG-CF, ABS, ABS-CF, ASA, Nylon, TPU and PC without upgrades.
Can the Creality K2 print ABS?
Yes. ABS prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 240-270°C and the bed to 90-110°C.
Can the Creality K2 print ASA?
Yes. ASA prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 240-270°C and the bed to 90-110°C.
Can the Creality K2 print PETG?
Yes. PETG prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 230-260°C and the bed to 65-85°C.
Can the Creality K2 print TPU?
Yes. TPU prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 210-240°C and the bed to 30-50°C. Flexible filament jams in the CFS; feed it from the external spool holder instead.
Can the Creality K2 print Nylon?
Yes. Nylon prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 240-270°C and the bed to 40-90°C.
Can the Creality K2 print PC?
Yes. PC prints on the Creality K2 as it comes: set the nozzle to 250-270°C and the bed to 90-105°C.
Can the Creality K2 print carbon fibre filament?
Yes: the Creality K2 ships with a hardened steel nozzle, so carbon- and glass-filled filaments won't wear it out quickly.
Do I need a filament dryer for the Creality K2?
Not for PLA, but Nylon and TPU soak up moisture from the air and print stringy and weak when wet. A dryer that reaches 80°C covers all of them; the drying chart has the time for each.
How big can the Creality K2 print?
Up to 260 × 260 × 260 mm. For a big print, check the slicer's filament estimate against what is left on the reel before you start.
