The verdict
Buy the K2 Plus. 7.8/10, #37 of 51 FDM printers.
If the K1 Max's 300mm isn't enough, this is where you end up. Nothing consumer-grade offers 350mm enclosed at this price. Just accept you're buying a piece of furniture.

- ELEGOO PETG filament, 1kgTougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, for parts that get handled or sit in the sun.
- SUNLU filament dryer S1 PlusWet filament causes stringing and rough surfaces. A dryer fixes that before you blame the printer.
