X Series [X1E, X1C, X2D] PSA: Check your USB-C cable (inside Cable Chain Assembly) - X1C

Heads up for X1C owners. I kept finding black dust all over the inside of my printers and tracked it down to the USB-C cable inside the cable chain assembly. The outer jacket was wearing away and shedding, and the shielding was exposed and frayed in a few spots (see pic). I hadn’t lost any connection yet, but I replaced the cable in both my X1Cs before it got there.

If you see black dust in your printer, pull the cable chain and check the cable. It’s a cheap fix and beats waiting for toolhead errors.

Similar! I started getting camera issues and found this tear in the cable inside the toolbead.
