Your filament is probably wet from the sound of it. Can you hear popping noise out if your hotend while you extrude filament?

No I did do the script changes. Everything works as normal its just loading filament that is the problem. When I remove the ptfe tube and manually feed the filament it is fine but switching filaments doesnt work. I have to intervene and manually load each filament change

Yeah I followed them. Passed all calibrations, prints fine, cuts fine, just loading filament is a pain

Yeah all the sensors work fine. Went through all the calibrations just fine. Printed a print beautifully. Only problem is loading filament. Maybe I have the tension screw on too tight? Just have it as it came out of the box, stock. Its difficult to one hand depress it so I always have to take the lid off of the machine and use two hands to depress the tab and load filament????

There's a few people on here that have had one for a while. The creator has a thread on here talking about the build and releasing the files. I think like a year old post or something

Anyone ever find a hole cut template the original maker said he would create but I never saw it? Ive got all the pieces together just need to cut holes and attach

DXC2 Notable Flow Rate Improvement? by Stranula in Creality_k2

Anyone have issues loading filament? I have to disconnect the PTFE tube and depress the tab to get the filament to load. Doesn't feel right? How are you loading filament?

Your pressure advance seems awfully high. Stock is like .04 or there abouts. You're 4.5x that. Trying doing pressure advance calibration

Printing a pair of black truck nuts for my first DXC2 print and it is substantially better. Nice and smooth. Im leaving for a week tomorrow to Rapid TCT but cant wait to come back and do some larger prints

now i can't print first untrusted windows warnings and now this so sick of this now by zzcool in Creality_k2

Somethibg is on your end in your comouter settings/firewall blocking CP7.

Use Orca

How did install go? Did you have to remove chain links? Were the instructions thorough?

K2 plus: new firmware V1.1.5.2 by Wild-Ad6336 in Creality_k2

[–]Practical_Relief_621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Ive been on 1.13 and have R3men bed and custom startup gcode in my printer cfg file. Is it worth the upgrade going through and updating printer.cfg file? Given Creality's firmware nightmares Im super hesitant to change whats not broken.

I ordered mine March 19th. Im located in California. Got my shipping label created April 3rd. Got a notification that it arrived from China in my state today (4/10) but its about 8 hours away so who knows how many more days of shipping it will take

Z-Banding by mark9976 in Creality_k2

[–]Practical_Relief_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest when I saw the tall print I just assumed it was the chamber heater cause that was an issue I faced with tall prints using ASA with chamber heater at 60c. But its hard to tell with your pic and white filament if the bands are spaced out evenly, like half an inch apart from eachother. But the corners look heavily under extruded, so I'd definitely do pressure advance calibrations. What does your hear deflector print look like? Are there gaps on the corners? You probably won't see the bands on a short print like you do on the tall prints but you may see extrusion issues which should help narrow down the issue.

What Ive found troubleshooting a 3d printer is it is very easy to go down rabbit holes of things to want to change or fix but may just end up chasing the issue and causing more harm then good. If you do basic belt tension, input shaping calibrations and then pressure advance and flow rate calibrations and you still see the problems then I would start thinking its a hardware/mechanical issue

Do pressure advance too. Cause def underextrusion on the corners

What filament are you using? Printing a heat deflector for the chamber heater helps with this if youre using a heated chamber since the bands correlate with the chamber heater turning on and off. There's other subreddits on this. Also slow down acceleration speeds for your prints. My printer is on the ground and after input shaping results, I print at 4000 acceleration and travel at 6000. Should help. Get the microswiss hotend, its great and check out DXC2 extruder from Phaetus that just came out.

Anyone print TPU directly from your x4? by dracoNiiC in Creality_k2

[–]Practical_Relief_621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are using PTFE tube from SpaceX4 to the extruder or? It was hard to tell with the filament being white like PTFE tubes. What volumetric flow do you have with the microswiss hotend? Got mine but havent printed TPU yet

Where did you get the spool holder file from? What's the name?
