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

You can buy a knock-off and have issues, or you can spend the money and get the right one for your machine. Your choice. I spent the money to get the right one. Well worth the cost, the struggles of bed leveling are a thing of the past.

The staple of my printer.... once added, I’ve totally forgotten how to level my bed. No joke. I haven’t leveled the bed in about 3 months and all my prints are sticking the the bed perfectly. Get one now! Don’t think about it... just do it!

Love that it does work on a cr10s pro you just need to add the jumper cap that comes with the bltouch for the version 3.0 they have pictures on there web sight

This product works well but this is not the full solution! Essentially, after paying for this product, you will need to watch a YouTube video on installation as there is very little manufacturer documentation. You need an ISP programmer or Arduino Uno to install a bootloader and update firmware as the Ender-3 has no existing support for this product. Then, if you did not purchase the package with 2 meter wire, you will need to buy an extender wire (which is more expensive separately than in the package). Next, you need the pin 27 adapter board or else you will have to slice and solder wires from your board. To install the part, a 3D printed mount (i.e. Petsfang V2) is required. After that, you need to slice through hot glue to carefully remove plugs and replace them with this products wires. Finally, install everything. In short, the entire installation is expensive. $50 (BLTouch with 2 meter cable) + $15 (knock-off Arduino Uno) + $20 (pin 27 board) + $5 (3D printed mount) ~= $90 not counting the hours you will spend on this installation. I love supporting the original developer but the competition (3DTouch) can be found for $12.99 with free shipping. This brings the total package cost to only $53 which is roughly the cost of this one component! I think the original manufacturer needs to include ALL of the supplies needed with sponsored tutorials. Until then, I cannot recommend this product to any Creality Ender-3 owners due to excessive price.

Learn to manually level your bed,and get a good process, once you manage to do that, youll be much happier with much better printing than using this beast. Far too much trouble, and reliability is a crap shoot. Dont even bother. Not to mention the wiring kit they include fits so loosely normally printer vibration will knock them loose causing a shorting hazard. Amazing the level of incomitance in product quality amazon allows to be sold.

No problems at all, after installing it on my skr 1.4 turbo. Seems to give perfect leveling with a 25point mesh on my cr10 s5.

Many many reels of filament have gone through this printer since them as well as several hotends and a stepper motor and belts. So the BLtouch wearing out is not a surprise. I did try replacing the wiring and probe but it still failed at start each time. Resetting and retracting the probe allowed it to work . Maybe I could have kept on doing that but figured its time to retire it. One star subtracted since they show the connector at the end of the 1 meter harness is not dupont. And what came is the old style dupont,

Nothing but the leveling device comes with this. You have to print your own holder. I returned and purchased another one that come with a metal holder.

Got it So my son to ease the stress of manual leveling. His bed was warped and this completely fixed the issue.

I wish this had been one of the first upgrades I did. Been working great for over a month now. A little pricey, but it does what it says. I paired this with the silicone bed spacer “springs”, which I like better than the yellow springs and the BTT SKR Mini E3 main board. There are tons of YouTube vids on reviewing and installing the BLTouch. Just wish the led’s weren’t so bright, but a couple of wraps of Kapton tape help mitigate that a little.
