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

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

got the suggestion to buy this from someone on facebook due to a lot of reports that some fake BLTouch listings are out there and its hard to tell until you buy, when it arrived it had everything that was supposed to be there, i had printed a mount for my ender 3 v2 and hooked it up, only took a few minutes and it was ready to go, firmware was more difficult to work with as some of them are not stable apparently but it is working great now, just make sure you tighten the bolts on the mount or you can move the BLTouch when making changes to your nozzle .

Other than the incredibly frustrating process of learning about ABL and how to configure it on the printer this is probably the most important mod on my printer especially if you arent printing on glass. Highly recommended even if it does come with some initial frustration. Outside of having to learn the how to configure / use it this was very plug and play with my SKR e3 Mini 1.2 board in my Ender 3.

Couldnt wait to buy shopped around decided to not get a knockoff or clone and get the real deal but they are shipping out new versions 3.0 and it doesnt work with current firmware. Would recommend holding off on buying until new guides on setting up come out.

Purchased this for my CR-10s Pro. Came as the newest version 3 so I had to wait until firmware was released for the printer to use it. Now with the latest tiny machines firmware my printer can autolevel on any surface and my prints have a nice first layer every time. It is a little slow since it measures each of the 25 points twice, but as long as I dont have to remove the bed I can skip leveling between jobs as it saves the mesh bed level on the printer.

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.

I installed these sensors on all 6 of my CR10S PRO and the sensors work way better than the ones that came with my printers!
