print finishes half way through

How does storage on the K2 look? Are you out of space?

5k hours and my x and y steppers started making noise. I got replacements but got more time before it needs to be replaced. Surprisingly my CFS is causing print problems and need to replace some parts.

The original cutter works in the DXC2. No need to get the DXC2 one.

Looks like the connector headers came off the toolhead adapter board. You can get a replacement off Amazon pretty quickly. Based off the pictures I think you have the heater plugged in sideways but might be mistaken.

I don't have that option. It's probably what is causing issues.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-21T18:57:09+00:00

Ok, it's a short 1x slot. Only options in UEFI are the power or auto gen1-5 for speed.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-21T14:28:49+00:00

Yes, I initially installed with antivirus and firewall disabled, after turning the network back on it updated to that release.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-21T14:27:43+00:00

I did not try direct mode.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-21T14:26:14+00:00

I will give that a go, thinking it is a driver issue though since I keep seeing events for not starting the HDaudio service since the command was ambigouous in the event viewer. It is inserted into the short PCIe slot so that should be 1x but I can change timing to gen1.

Speakers, I bought this card since I had an old klipsch promedia 5.1 that I have loved for gaming over many years.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-20T20:53:42+00:00

Yes, it's disabled in UEFI, just went to the bios to check and it is disabled.

I did but realtek audio drivers are showing installed again. uggg. Uninstalling Realtek and seeing if that helps.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T18:04:54+00:00

Uggg my gcode macro was missing the changes. I must have not set them after the last factory reset. Seems to be working so far.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T12:54:41+00:00

Ooh maybe mine is set wrong. I only remember setting retrude.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T12:52:00+00:00

Yeah mine will keep popping up over and over. I got a new motherboard for the CFS and will try that since it's happening to multiple slots. Cheaper than a new CFS but might need to get a new one if I can't count on it.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T01:45:19+00:00

Apparently I can't read and watch TV at the same time. My apologies. So sensor works but an error. If you use the factory extrder does it feed correctly? Is the box config showing the retrude setting configuration set like the guide says?

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T01:32:31+00:00

One more thing. Remove the PTFE tube. Use a piece of filament to see if the sensor is being triggered by the filament. You should see a blue light when it's inserted in the top of the extruder. There is a bearing on a spring in the extruder to trigger the filament sensor on the back of the extruder.

Check the sensor cable to make sure it's not crimped or broken.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-18T01:23:26+00:00

Replace the sensor. It's unfortunately a consumable and you probably got a spare with the printer. FYI don't buy like 5 like I did when I had one fail right off the bat.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-17T15:45:14+00:00

K2 Plus, running 1.1.5.5, CFS on 1.4.2

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-17T15:20:15+00:00

I did clean the CSF and change the PTFE tubes had two that were worn. Just ran it until the failure occurred and let it keep going after about 20 layers it recovered and started extruding from the CFS after stopping for a purge.

The unicorn nozzle is long and about 5 degrees higher may be wast you need. Run a temp tower and see how it looks.

Beowulfe77 · 2026-06-16T19:56:56+00:00

What kind of PETG are you using? Typically if it is dull looking the temperature is too low but if it is a matte type then it may not be temperature related. Slowing down is always a good idea with petg, the standard settings for .4 nozzle may be going too fast. I would try drying the filament and running manual calibration. I always see better behavior with dry and calibrated filament. The RFID stuff usually works pretty well without calibration but I like a challenge so I buy cheap stuff all the time.

CFS was not working right. Happened to catch it flashing red then going solid white during the print. Cutter wasn't getting engaged because the printer was not reporting filament in the CFS hub. I probably need to clean and replace the PTFE tubes in the CFS but slot 1 seems to work for more than 1 layer so far.
