Creality K2 Plus — Helper Script Wiki¶
Creality K2 Plus
Creality K2 Plus Combo (with CFS)
This wiki covers the complete process to root the Creality K2 Plus and K2 Plus Combo, and add features using the Creality K2 Plus Helper Script.
The advantage of rooting your printer is having full access to the firmware and configuration files, enabling you to install community tools, improve print quality, and extend your printer far beyond its factory defaults.
Read before proceeding
If you don't know what you're doing, I don't recommend following this guide. Modifying system files can cause issues if done incorrectly. Always back up your configuration before making changes.
This wiki is for the K2 Plus only
This wiki is written specifically for the Creality K2 Plus and K2 Plus Combo (with CFS). For K1 Series, K1C, K1 Max, or Ender-3 V3 Series — see the original Guilouz wiki.

About This Wiki¶
This project is a fork of the excellent Guilouz Creality Helper Script Wiki, adapted from the ground up for the K2 Plus. The K2 Plus has a fundamentally different architecture from the K1 Series — different filesystem paths, service manager, pre-installed software, and unique hardware (heated chamber, dual Z motors, CFS multi-material system).
All content specific to the K2 Plus has been verified on live hardware via SSH. See Special Thanks for full attribution.
Key Differences from K1 Series¶
Understanding these differences is important before following any guide. K1-targeted instructions will not work on the K2 Plus without modification.
