Phaetus DXC2 Direct Drive Extruder for Creality K2 Series, Dual Gear 1.75mm

• 【COMPATIBILITY — PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING】Fits Creality K2, K2 Pro and K2 Plus. Not compatible with K2 SE. Installation requires a printed chain riser — the riser is NOT included; scan the QR code on the packaging to download the print files (print in ABS or PETG, not PLA). You will also need to adjust retraction settings in firmware. Everything else is direct-fit.
• 【1-SECOND MAGNETIC, TOOL-FREE MAINTENANCE】The patented magnetic snap system opens and closes the front plate in about one second with no screws and no tools — clearing a jam, swapping the blade or cleaning the filament path becomes a 1-second job instead of a teardown.
• 【RNC-COATED GEARS RATED HV3300 — BUILT FOR ABRASIVE FILAMENT】Patented RNC ultra-wear-resistant gears are hardened to HV3300, far above standard stainless steel (HV200+) and hardened steel (HV700+). Running carbon fiber or glass-filled composites no longer eats through your gears — service life is up to 3x that of standard gears.
• 【ADAPTIVE PRESSURE ARM — TPU 65A THROUGH CARBON FIBER】The self-adjusting pressure rocking arm reads filament hardness and adapts on its own, so ultra-soft 65A TPU feeds without crushing while rigid carbon-fiber composites get the grip they need. No manual tension tuning between material changes.
• 【DUAL GEARS + D3VIL FANG DLC CUTTER FOR CLEANER SURFACES】Helical and U-shaped wheel engagement grips filament progressively rather than abruptly, cutting filament wear by up to 60% and visibly reducing vertical fine artifacts (VFA) and layer lines. The D3vil Fang cutter runs DLC-coated tool steel blades in a rigid modular frame, and an open-frame airflow path reduces heat creep on long high-speed prints.

A direct-fit extruder upgrade for the Creality K2 platform — built for makers who print more than just PLA. The Phaetus DXC2 is a ground-up redesign of the K2 extrusion system, developed through the Phaetus Developer Program in collaboration with community creator d3vildesign (Omranello) and engineered for the Creality K2 platform. It targets the three things stock extruders struggle with: maintenance access, abrasive filament durability, and soft-material feeding. Maintenance is the headline change. A patented magnetic snap structure lets you open the front plate in about a second — no screws, no tools — so clearing a jam, inspecting the gears or swapping the cutter stops being a project. An open-frame architecture keeps the entire filament path visible and improves airflow to reduce heat creep during long or high-temperature runs. For durability, the DXC2 uses patented RNC-coated gears rated HV3300, well above standard stainless steel (HV200+) and hardened steel (HV700+). Abrasive carbon fiber and glass-filled composites stop destroying your drive gears, and service life runs up to three times that of standard gears. The D3vil Fang cutter uses DLC-coated tool steel blades in a rigid modular frame for clean, low-wear cuts. Feeding is handled by a dual-gear linkage with helical and U-shaped wheel engagement, which grips filament progressively instead of abruptly. Filament wear drops by up to 60%, and vertical fine artifacts (VFA) and layer lines are noticeably reduced. An adaptive pressure rocking arm adjusts automatically to material hardness, so the same extruder handles ultra-soft 65A TPU and rigid carbon-fiber composites without manual tension tuning. An intelligent filament runout sensor with LED indicator catches breaks before they ruin a print. Compatibility and installation — please read before ordering: Fits Creality K2, K2 Pro and K2 Plus. Not compatible with K2 SE. For a complete installation you will need: (1) the printed chain riser — not included, download the print files via the QR code on the packaging and print them in ABS or PETG; (2) optionally our optimized cooling duct and front cover, as the original cover is incompatible; (3) retraction settings adjusted in firmware. An optional DIY enclosure is also available as a printable file for full customization. Specifications: 1.75mm filament, dual-gear direct drive, RNC-coated gears HV3300, DLC-coated blade, net weight approx. 80g, dimensions approx. 59 x 41 x 23.5 mm. Manufacturer: Phaetus.
