Comment on Do you think the Creality K2 Plus is worth waiting for?

Do the math.

Buying new might be cheaper than upgrading the ender 3:

hotend+extruder: orbiter v3 110€

stepper (not sure why you would want): 2x (5-phase 0.72° stepper and 5 phase stepper driver): 200€ [2 phase 0.9° would be significantly lower cost but even less of an upgrade]

cooling fan: larger 6023 blower: 13€

enclosure: Not great for a bed pusher. Core XY is compact. Regardless approx. 100€

Between those, you would already look at approx. 425€ in parts and still have the basic Ender 3 frame and electronic that if you haven’t done might want to upgrade to.
