Description
The DXC 2 Extruder from Phaeatus represents a significant leap forward in extruder design, combining innovative engineering with practical features that matter to everyday makers. Whether you're printing flexible TPU, abrasive carbon fibre composites, or standard PLA, the DXC 2 delivers consistent, reliable performance with fewer headaches, with adjustable tension.
Printer Compatibility
- K2 Plus
- K2 Pro
- K2
(Chain Riser - Not included, you can print these ahead of time) More Information: Github Link
Note 1: not suitable for K2 SE
Note 2: Please ensure you update klipper configuration as mention in included manual, which adjust klipper configuration cut/retract macro.
Note 3: If you have cutter issues, our suggestion is re-install stock extruder to re-run cutter calibration or if you have ran cutter calibration with DXC 2 install, you can go into klipper back up configuration to change position of cutter to previous back up value, open a older version from couple days ago and use that values instead.
Note 4: You will require to transfer some component from stock extruder such as Filament Sensor, Cutter Detector, in additional to use existing stepper.

Key Advantages
1. Patent Magnetic Structure – Tool-Free, 1-Second Maintenance
Say goodbye to fumbling with tiny screws during filament jams. The DXC 2 features a patented magnetic latching mechanism that allows you to open the extruder in under one second, no tools required. This makes clearing clogs, inspecting gears, or performing routine maintenance effortless.
2. Dual Helical Gears – 60% Less Filament Wear, Smoother Prints
Traditional extruders with straight-cut gears can grind filament, creating dust and debris that leads to jams. The DXC 2 employs dual helical gears that engage filament gradually and smoothly, reducing wear by up to 60% while providing consistent, skip-free extrusion.
3. Adaptive Pressure Arm – From TPU 65A to Rigid CF
The DXC 2's adaptive pressure arm automatically adjusts to filament diameter variations and material flexibility. Whether you're printing ultra-soft TPU (65A Shore hardness) or rigid carbon fiber composites, the extruder maintains optimal grip without crushing or slipping.
4. Open Structure – 80% Reduction in Heat Creep & Clogging
Heat creep, where heat travels up from the hotend and softens filament prematurely is a leading cause of clogs. The DXC 2's open architecture design promotes natural cooling, reducing heat creep and clogging by an estimated 80% compared to enclosed extruder designs.
5. RNC Super Wear-Resistant Gears – 3× Longer Lifespan
Abrasive filaments like glow-in-the-dark, carbon fibre, and glass-filled materials destroy standard brass gears quickly. The DXC 2 features RNC (Rapid Nitriding Caricaturing) super wear-resistant gears hardened to HV3300, delivering up to three times the lifespan of conventional hardened steel gears.

Why Choose the DXC 2?
The DXC 2 isn't just another extruder, it's a thoughtfully engineered solution for makers who demand reliability across a wide range of materials. The combination of tool-free maintenance, wear-resistant gears, and smart detection makes it an ideal upgrade for printers used in prototyping, small-batch production, or educational environments where uptime matters.
Whether you're pushing the limits with high-temperature composites or simply want a trouble-free printing experience, the Phaeatus DXC 2 delivers.

Estimate shipping
Deliveries within Australia
For shipping prices, please use the above estimated shipping costs. Shipping costs depend on your location, order size, and desired courier service and provider. Orders are dispatched within the same or by next business day for in-stock products from local Brisbane Queensland warehouse depending on courier.
