How to print models bigger than the Creality K2 Plus
The Creality K2 Plus has a build volume of 350 × 350 × 350 mm. It's one of the biggest beds you can buy at home, yet long props and furniture parts still go over it.
To print something larger, split the STL into pieces that fit and join them after printing. PrintSlice does the splitting in your browser: with default settings each piece is at most 338 × 338 × 338 mm, and you can add pin, key or dovetail connectors on the cut faces so the pieces line up and snap together.

Free to split and preview, and your first model is free to download. The bed size is filled in for you.

Example: A 1 m prop staff (1000 × 40 × 40 mm) doesn't fit the K2 Plus. PrintSlice splits it 3 × 1 × 1 into 3 pieces of about 333 × 40 × 40 mm, each of which fits the bed.
How to split a model for the K2 Plus
- Open PrintSlice with the K2 Plus bed size and drop in your STL file, or try the sample model.
- Press Split into bed-sized pieces. PrintSlice works out the smallest grid of equal pieces that fits, cutting along all three axes if it needs to.
- Open a piece's preview and click a cut face to add a key, pin or dovetail connector. Then download the pieces and slice them in Creality Print as normal.
Tips for splitting on the K2 Plus
Split smaller on purpose
A 338 mm piece can take most of a day to print. If a failure late in the print would cost too much filament, type a smaller bed size and PrintSlice will make more, shorter pieces.
Use dovetails on long props
A staff or spear gets levered at every joint. Dovetails resist pulling apart better than straight keys; add glue as well.
Colour by piece
Each piece is its own STL, so you can print different sections in different filaments from the CFS and join them with the connectors.
Questions
What's the largest single piece PrintSlice makes for the K2 Plus?
With default settings, 338 × 338 × 338 mm. PrintSlice keeps 5.6 mm clear on every side: a 2 mm safety margin you can change, plus 3.6 mm so connector tabs still fit on the bed.
Can't I just split the model in Creality Print?
Creality Print's cut tool is fine for one or two cuts you place by hand. PrintSlice is quicker when a model needs several: it works out every cut from your bed size, splits along all three axes in one go, and adds key, pin or dovetail connectors on the seams.
Will the printed pieces fit back together?
Yes. Each tab and socket pair is made from the same shape with a small built-in clearance (0.2 mm by default, adjustable per connector), so the pieces push together without sanding. You can choose a rectangular key, a round pin or a dovetail, which resists being pulled apart.
Is my model uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitting, connectors and 3D preview all run in your browser, so your STL file never leaves your computer.
Does PrintSlice cost anything?
Splitting and previewing is free, with no account needed, and your first model is free to download with a free account. To download more models, start a 7-day free trial (a card is needed, but you aren't charged until the 7 days are up and you can cancel before then). After that it's £3.99 a month.
