Filament cutting

I have an x1c that will not cut the filament. When the print is finished, it takes two times to cut. (https://youtube.com/shorts/keLj16g5Blc?feature=share) It works fine manually, but it seems to move to far forward.

Hi,

I assume you get issues and messages with filament retracting with the failure in cutting.
I can’t see in the video if the lever is pushed all the way.

My first suggestion, if not done yet, is to replace the blade:

looks like wrong coordinate in first moving, check gcode

Agree. It is supposed to move to the front first, then to the side.

I used one of the default files. Wouldn’t that gcode be correct?

The cutter lever is sticking out too much. The inside face of the lever should be flush with the tool head cover in it’s normal position.
