ANTCLABS BLTouch : Auto Bed Leveling Sensor/to be a Premium 3D Printer (with 2M Extension Cable Set)

Replaced my crs10 pros crappy inductive sensor with this and it works so much better.

So I kept hearing this product was awesome to have on an Ender 3. I got everything to get it to run on an Ender 3 (lcd adaptor, longer wires, etc) However, most tutorials did not have the same wires. Yellow/Red/Black in the tutorial. Yellow/Redish orange/Brown were mine. The Lcd adapter would just flicker. The plugin part of the wires fell off. Had to remove the board from the housing to use the bltouch with the stock wires. Stock board-> Once ditching the Lcd adaptor. I plugged into the board and the Arm clip lite up as I powered on. Like a match. Next was just a bsod. 2nd board-> After hours of flashing the board issues. The printer was alive but the bltouch was not? The new board had a direct slot for the bltouch wires. However, the board refused to work with the bltouch. It would probe when in the setting but wouldnt auto level or find Z. After switching to Resin printing I stepped away from FDM. Present, I start working on the Ender3. And caused the same problem to happen. This has to be a knockoff, I barely touched the board and it shorted the same ARM chip??? There are other sellers online or Amazon that WILL provide a better product because This IS NOT THE BLTOUCH. Im out two boards for a piece of plastic. It shouldnt be this hard. I mess with Raspberry Pis

Broke down within months. E-mailed vendor with description of issue and never received response.

Can be a bit fidgety at times but overall I am very pleased to own it.

Included connectors? Useless. Documentation? What documentation. What a massive waste of time and money. Going back to leveling myself this is obnoxious.

This is a great investment for your printer, but installation can be a challenge, especially for a newbie. Be sure and do a lot of research on what you have to do to install it on your printer before diving in.

So worth it! I love this thing. My first layers are perfect now.

It’s important to get skilled at leveling a printer bed manually, but once you’ve got it down pat, you probably just want to get your prints done. Having the machine do the work for you and get right, reproducibly, is what the BL Touch is for, and it’s great at it, but you have to know what you’re doing. It’s not for beginners, but auto bed leveling with a sensor like the BL Touch is the next step to reliable printing.

I installed this on a Petsfang mount on my Ender 3. Not having to baby sit my prints and re level all the time is amazing.

Very happy with the BLTouch. Plugged it in and it worked as advertised. Always buy the Genuine ones like this.
