Yeah I tried that and it didn’t help much.

Did you figure it out? I’m getting the error and the cutter is not cutting the filament all the way. The configurations are all set in fluidd. This is only happening on multi color prints

So far I’ve been printing with the filament cutting sequence working beautifully. 2 things that could’ve made it work were the replacement screws for the filament detector weren’t in my kit and I reused the old screws which I think the OEM screws are too long and gave me false filament section. And there’s a small roll pin when you remove the magnetic piece of the extruder, mine was not sitting properly and could’ve contributed to my problems. This was definitely not a software issue. The hardware didn’t come with my kit was definitely needed. I was lucky enough to have those screws in my inventory. (I believe the screws were M2 not sure the length though)

Has anyone tried the Creality cutter in place of the DXC2 one as a test. Physical it fits correctly but does it work - theory is it should.
I think I figured mine out. I replaced all the tubing in my 3 cfs’s and I’ve had 2 successful multi color prints so far. Thank you for replying.

I just installed the DXC2 today, and went to change the firmware–only to find that the directions don’t match my firmware. I’m using V1.1.3.13 still (downgraded from the 1.1.4 version due to print failures). Which firmware version needs to be used to make the instructions work? Will this be an isssue each time there is a new firmware?
I took a picture of the only thing that almost resembled the first set of instructions–that looks like this. Is this the setting that needs to be changed to E-40 ?
If i need to try the 1.1.4* firmware again, I could try.
Thank you! It would be nice to get this running properly

I’m not sure if this “warning" suggestion is gonna sound reasonable or come across like saying, “duh that’s like warning coffee is hot".
Summary: Might be helpful to others to warn that the extruder will not sit flat against the mounting plate if the chain riser isn’t installed. This will prevent the filament from feeding into the hot end.
I took the direction of replacing the chain riser and an optional thing and not as a required step. Then I had a fitment and rocking issue with the extruder snapping on. I wasn’t able to feed into the hot end and it was rocking in something when mounted to the gantry but not when I fit the motor and extruder on their own. After I added the chain riser, the problem went away.

Good to know! I sent your response to two users saying the extruder is not feeding well, maybe the problem is that. Thanks!
If you’re still having the issue with the cutter not fully cutting the filament. You can try taking the blade out of the original cutter for the K2 and putting it in the dxc2. Just did that on my K2 Plus and it seems to cut fully now.

Thats good to know as cutters cannot be bought for the DXC2
@Jet_star thanks for proving it out.

Just remember that the 2 edits you make to help with retract get over written when the firmware gets updated. Had update today and thought it might rewrite everything so checked straight away and sure enough it had. Just edited it back and got on with prnting.

Совершенно измучался с этим экструдером, версия от TriangleLabs. Пластиковая зубчатая часть подающих шестерней при нагреве срывается со шлицов и проскальзывает относительно стальной, которая прилегает к прутку, подача останавливается((( Не могу найти альтернативные подающие шестерни в продаже
I also had a problem with the DXC2 cutter. Every automatic filament change was like a lottery. In the end, I replaced the cutter with one from an old Creality extruder, and now the problem is gone. Let’s see what happens next.
The problem is that the DXC2 cutter is shorter than the stock one. If you want to use the DXC2 you can try to modify the cutting depth on config files.
Это скорее дефект самой шестерни, вам просто не повезло. Я печатал abs при 60 град, в камере, более 12 часов подряд, все нормально работает. Попробуйте от родного экструдера шестерню, мне кажется она должна подойти. Т.к. мы не меняли в настройках коэффициент подачи филамента, то передаточное число должно быть то же что на оригинальном механизме экструдера.
Hi. If you are referring to the changes in `box.cfg` and `gcode_macro.cfg` mentioned in the installation instructions, those are applied during the installation process. As I understand it, however, the changes relate to filament retraction and extrusion into the hotend.
You might have meant the check_cut_pos_x_max parameter: it was -5.5, and I changed it to -4.0; I’ll be testing it now. Thanks for the pointer.
Yes, they are interchangeable, the original one works with dxc2, but you need to calibrate the cutter.
