CREALITY K2PLUS - CHAIN RISER [ORIGINAL AND DXC2 EXTRUDER]

*If you have any issues with printing or assembly, feel free to message me, and I'll do my best to assist you 😉.

/////UPDATE V4 - 23.04.2026

////CHANGES BASED ON V3

1. The base of the arm was raised by 3 mm. The internal geometry of the arm remains the same, so the tube path is unchanged, just cleaner. Everything now sits slightly higher.

2. New washer. The thickness was reduced by 0.2 mm to create a bit of clearance.

3. Top part redesigned. The neck was raised by 3 mm.

4. Increased the external diameter of the ring that supports the arm on the top part. Since the arm base was raised, this adjustment keeps the same working radius.

INSTALLATION VIDEO

///CREALITY K2 PLUS CHAIN RISER [ORIGINAL AND DXC2 EXTRUDER]

This design repositions the PTFE tube to avoid contact with the frame and keeps a consistent path during movement. The rotating arm allows better alignment and supports TPU use.

• Compatible with the original extruder and the DXC2 extruder.

• Designed for a simple and direct installation.

///WITH ORIGINAL EXTRUDERT - This solves the issue when printing near the left and front limits. In those positions, the tube can rub against the frame and wear over time. I started seeing small white particles on the build plate, which turned out to be the tube degrading from contact with the frame.

///WITH DXC2 EXTRUDER - On top of that, the DXC2 raises the tube entry point. This makes the tube bend during X and Y homing, which can affect consistency over time.
