next gen fast printers - bambu, creality etc...

[grue19]

hello. so there are newer printers now that incorporate new features that seem to be the root-reason the printers can print so fast. particularly, i'm interested in the creality k2 plus. although other printers seem to share some of the features.

my goal in this post is to 1) see if simplify3d will be able to slice for a k2 plus and 2) understand, at least at a high level, "what's going on here?"

features that look like they contribute to high-speed printing are: klipper software, input-shaping, edge-smoothing, only core-xy printers can do high-speed, pressure advance tuning and probably some others i'm missing.

are these all features controlled by the slicer -or- are they in the printers firmware and are independent of slicer?

finally, then, can simplify3d work with a k2 plus (in my case) completely? i've seen that they can use orca slicer but then it has to go through crealityPrint5 to get sliced and saved to disk for transfer to the printer.

(ps the k2 plus seems to be able to run and be functional with cloud and without internet at all - for proprietary printing without fear of parts showing up in other countries or available to everyone. i've seen fusion 3d printers is releasing a smaller printer that is secure enough (disconnected enough) that military and military contractors can use without fear) but it's out of my budget)

thanks,

A few of our engineers already working on customizing a profile for the K2 Plus, and of course we already have profiles available for the many Bambu machines as well. Contact our team directly at the link below and they can assist with the profile:

Also, in case it helps, I believe input shaping is primarily a firmware feature, so S3D is able to support that easily without many changes. We also support lots of Klipper functionality including wifi connectivity.
