OFFICIAL CREALITY K2 Cartographer Eddy Bed Scanner

Ever had a hard time with leveling your Creality k2 series default factory sensor? The truth is, however, you are modding, whether you are applying aluminum tape or changing your z-offset in fluidd, it doesn't help. Why? Let's face it, the default factory-installed Creality k2 Series Strain gauge is not accurate, even with your screws tightened to the best. It gets super inaccurate results, and is super slow at leveling, often probing 2-3 times per point.

After long development with Jamin Collins and Stranula, the Cartographer mod is here, brought to the K2 community, following the K1 series printers, and Vorons, other printers.

Here are the Github pages of the K2 procedure and with a PROMOTED K2 SIMPLIFIED Document of the entire procedure, approved by more than 5+ cartographer users.

2x M2.6 x20mm screws (I used M2.5 screws instead of 2.6 because I had no 2.6 on hand)

1x Right angle cartographer-I ordered my carto from Pulsar 3D (I do not recommend them as the owners were very rude and inconsiderate of a replacement cartographer due to damage) They even deleted my honest truthful review on their website which makes me very angry.

Final notes:

🥀RIP K2 Cartographer 9/18/25

Sadly, a nozzle blob occurred to me. Note to you guys: Please use a brim! This happened because I wanted to save filament on the brim. It is not worth wasting $200 on something that can be avoided using $0.01 brim! If you found this model helpful, please kindly provide me with a boost and support Jamin Collins with Stranula!
