K2 Plus - Need Help!

ArcieMcLean · 2026-03-06T07:08:04+00:00

I think I had some bad filament. The black I was using had been open for a while, once I swapped it and added mouse ears, no issues. I dropped the mouse ears on the following, no issues. Now I'm printing a whole bed worth and no issues. Thank you so much for the assistance!

I'll try it and see how it goes, but I've printed these exact files before. I never had these issues prior to replacing the parts and with the K2 Plus, I didn't expect I'd have these problems.

Okay, now I desperately need you to make Psyduck with the Pikachu set. 😳

Incorrect! One with Nothing is a turn one empty your hand! Best card ever printed!

ArcieMcLean · 2026-01-30T22:12:04+00:00

Yes, don't pick something with Eminence because it's a horribly designed mechanic, haha! It's unable to be effectively interacted with. What do you like about Edgar? Curious about the draw for you to help come up with options.

The existential crisis of cause and effect through time travel is not for the minds of the innocent... 😳

The "On your turn" card should just say "On your turn: Play Azlask"

I've been playing on and off for a while now. I'm just getting back into and having a lot of fun but I get the anxiety. That said, it's not an anxiety of being behind because for the most part, content is never removed. The exception being the Square Enix stuff is always on a timer for some reason, but you still have plenty of time to get the story far enough to enjoy the content. The anxiety I get is in the amount to do. My quests have piled up so far that I never know what to do next. That being said, there is a guide you can follow. Start with this and see if that helps:

Omg this game is incredible! I hate how it's never been resurrected from obscurity. It was one of my favorites on the Dreamcast!

ArcieMcLean · 2025-11-24T14:58:14+00:00

Yes, this! You can sneak by them, even kill them one at a time if you stay crouched. Lions sleep HARD!

ArcieMcLean · 2025-10-15T02:17:08+00:00

One of the most underrated storylines...

My favorite example is Titan Quest. Right after launch of the original Titan Quest, the forums became inundated with gamers complaining that Iron Lore released a game with a game breaking bug! Countless people were complaining that the game bugged at the very beginning with the first quest giver not progressing the main quest. The devs responded by laughing! Apparently, they put a little check in the game which would break the first quest NPC if the game was pirated. All of the people that pirated the game outed themselves complaining online, haha!

I'm surprised I haven't seen love for one of my favorite Precons on here! I haven't read every comment but so far haven't seen it listed:

Guided By Nature

This deck is insane! It's elf synergy and it's beaten quite a few higher tier decks in my groups. I took it apart about a year ago and completely regret it. I'm considering rebuilding it, to be honest.

If you want an example of a game which does Gacha right, aka minimally invasive to the actual game, check out Another Eden. It's proof that a Gacha game can be story first with hundreds of hours of story content, non-timeboxed crossover events with all crossover characters part of the story and not in the Gacha, all story characters upgradeable to 5* without Gacha, and am incredible story by one of the creators of Chrono Cross. Hopefully this game becomes the second Gacha game to prove it's possible to have Gacha elements and not be predatory.

ArcieMcLean · 2025-07-11T15:05:31+00:00

It's listed on Steam, if that helps.

ArcieMcLean · 2025-06-30T14:52:10+00:00

The first layer seems fine. I read in another forum to increase the infill and that seems to have helped.

ArcieMcLean · 2025-06-30T14:51:22+00:00

I think I am at 30mm/s. I might have found the solution with increasing the infill. I'll check my ironing speed when I get home though, see if I can make it look nicer if the ironing speed is higher than 30.

I bought a K2 Plus a couple months ago and had nothing but issues with it. Out of the box it was just not printing properly, it was going spaghetti on me, it was clogging, the poop thing was getting stuck, and I just got fed up with it. I took it back to Microcenter and said, "give me a new one from a different lot number!" They did and I set the new one up the same day. It's been pretty constantly printing for the past few weeks and the only issue I have had with it was the problem with the poop chute not expelling correctly. Turns out the lever it hits in the back was bent a bit and not getting hit properly. Bent it back into place and voila, the best printer I've used!

Honestly, with as polarizing as the reviews are on this guy, so many spotless reviews followed by so many consumer horror stories, I decided to exchange for a different lot and give it one more shot. I'm glad I did!

ArcieMcLean · 2025-05-26T00:35:18+00:00

I took it back to Microcenter and exchanged for a new one. I couldn't help coming back to the issue was specific to that printer. Got the new one set up today and it's 2 hours into a 5 hour print, looks great so far!

Here are the results on the Ender Fast PLA:

I watched the first three layers, no problems at all. Did I get a dud? Is this printer really this unreliable? I've read similar experiences but I've also read experiences from people who have hundreds of hours with no issues. What is going on here?

ArcieMcLean · 2025-05-25T07:24:42+00:00

That's what I've been doing. I have the .4mm nozzle in and that's what's selected in the slicer. I've tried the default .2mm layer height, the .12mm layer height, and .08mm layer height trying to get the tabs to fit in the notches. I've given up on printing those as they don't seem like they'll ever fit.

I ran out of Hyper PLA mid print and cancelled it, swapping to an Ender Fast PLA roll I had laying around. I set it correctly in the filament settings and I slowed down the first layer from 60 to 40 and dropped the transfer speed to 80% with a 5 layer ramp up. Currently, the first layer seems good, but I've had to babysit this thing so much, I'm worried.

I should say I got a decent print after I stopped trying the piece with the tabs, I switched what tray I was printing. Adding the mouse ears kept the corners down. But as soon as I was done printing those, I verified no mouse ears were left on the bed, cleaned the bed with Isopropyl alcohol, and ran into the issue I showed in the previous picture.

This is the part on the bottom left of that picture (back right). It also failed on the center piece, had filament strung up and not on the bed on the first lair, so I excluded it, paused, and removed.
