Just released — full support runway ahead
Best for: Professional makers who want the X1C's footprint with true dual-material capability, an active heated chamber for engineering filaments, and improved filtration — without stepping up to the larger, pricier H2 series.

Best for: Makers who need an enclosed printer capable of engineering filaments (PA, ABS, ASA) with optional multicolor, and want more build volume than the K1C at a lower price than the Bambu X1C.

A second Bowden-fed nozzle enables two-material prints and soluble supports without a purge tower, in the same compact 256 mm class as the X1C it replaces.
Unlike the X1C's passive chamber warming, the X2D actively heats to 65°C — enough for the bulk of engineering filaments including ABS, ASA, and nylon.
Improved filtration and a toolhead-mounted camera add safety and monitoring over the X1C's chamber camera.
Unlike most budget enclosed printers that passively trap heat, the K2 Pro actively heats the chamber to 60°C — critical for reliable ABS, ASA, and PA-CF layer adhesion.
The K2 Pro's cubic build volume gives you 50% more printable space than the Bambu X1C (256×256×256 mm) — ideal for large functional parts and prototypes.
The Combo version includes Creality's CFS (Creality Filament System) for 4-color filament switching. Works across the Creality K-series lineup.
