My K2 has been printing like a dream since I managed to get my hands on on it just under 2 weeks ago.
I decided to do a longer print on it yesterday (24hours 40 mins) and everything was going swimmingly until it wasn’t.
had a bed movement failure the print is lopsided so I guessed one side had bound up. However when removing the failed print the bed dropped on one side placing the bed at about 30 degrees. After resetting the machine, the bed returned to the bottom, I took some time to look at the error codes, I resolved the extruder issues quickly as they had been cause by pressure from the bound side of the bed.
However my bed is stuck on the bottom TE2357 error with a message telling me that the bed is tilted or there is a photo electric switch error… I though TE was for extruder issues not the bed?
Am I missing something?
Also its accompanied by a XS2060 error.
Obviously I have emailed Creality but there’s a big knowledge base out here and I thought it entirely possible I’m missing some obvious diagnosis/fix that you guys have.
Thanks in advance for any input you guys might have.
Ive just downloaded the new V1.1.1.7 lets see if it fixes some of the crap…either way we can downgrade to V1.1.0.57 which seemed to be the most stable for me anyways with cp5…this just seems to print for me …gonna test the V1.1.1.7…before i put big prints on
Nope no joy, just down to the one TE2357 error but interestingly when I try to manually raise the bed it tells me that its already at the minimum value. as if its as high as it can go. (which it isn’t, its on the bottom. upper limit switch damaged maybe?
Ive yet to get any errors beyond one hot end drive clog that threw CFS, fan, and filament jam errors, that was traced to the said clog inside the bottom of the extruder gears. I print mostly PETG.
Problem i seem to run into is, it wants/defaults to print way too fast for most stock PETG. Get too hot and or cant extude evenly. Mostly under, but some over. Thin panels (2 -2.4mm) seems to cause issues, any thicker and they seem to print really well.
I tried the 0.2mm high quality default to start with, a no go for most PETG if there are thin parts. Tweaked down the speeds for walls and infill and it can produce really good prints quite fast!
So creality customer service emailed me back on Monday, asking for proofs of purchase etc. fair enough. I went to film a fault video for them, and the damned thing worked so I got one print out which went absolutely fine then I left a very similar print on before bedtime, came down to a lovely completed print but the bed was angled at about 10-15 degrees. i removed the print and ran a calibration. the lower (left) side raised but the higher (right) side did not. then got the CM2789 abnormal resistance under heatbed (z2) motor error and switched the machine off to relax the bed. on power up the cfs does it thing just fine, I attempt a calibration and i get the TE2357 error, not really feeling good about this printer at the moment. I’m just putting all the bits into an email for creality and ill update from there.
i found that after updating to latest firmware did the switching off thing back on… then i did a factory reset and so far so good …doing this gives the option to clear out old gcode files its 1 of the options in the menu for factory rest
i had the 2060 disappear after updating the firmware, however i need to investigate the limit switch on the side that failed, unfortunately i work away and am not there currently ill update after I get home to check it.
I use, eSun mostly, also Amazon Eno brand, a few rolls of Creality “fast” PETG. I also have some matte PETG which is chalenging, needs higher temps and even lower speeds. Else PETG produces some great prints.
I have some CR PETG, and the verticals look nice, but the tops are not great. I just purchased some Hyper PETG and I am going to give that a try. I’m new to Creality and still need to figure out how to do custom profiling.
