Compatible with various bed materials and equipped with a 1m extension cable, it simplifies the printing process and enhances the quality of your projects. ## Description Main functions and controls of BLTouch are same as usual auto bed leveling sensor, consists of RC servo and micro switch. Thus, BLTouch can be applied on almost every board. BLTouch does not uses either optical, nor proximity(inductive/capacitive) sensor. BLTouch is fulfilled with simple structure and high precision by using progressively designed solenoid and hall sensor. It can be easily applied, since it has a small and simple structure. The BLTouch aims for user convenience and enjoyable printing by adding many smart functions, such as self-test, alarm, alarm release & Touch Switch mode, Blue LED for servo signal indicating and Z-probe(Zmin) Testing. BLTouch uses existing RC Servo motor signal intactly, so just plug BLTouch on the same pins after removing servo motor.Smart Technology:Self-test: The push pin operate two times in a test when the power is on.Alarm: The AI will flash the LED indicator if a problem is detected during a self-test or operation.Wiring defect indicator : Blue and Red LED for indicating wiring defects.Kit Includes:- Latest BLTOUCH Sensor- 1 Meter Dupont extension cable set. No soldering required!- Spare parts kit with 2 x screws, nuts, and washers, 2 x mounting springs for sensor, 2 x dupont housing shell 3 pin, 2 x dupont housing shell 2 pin, 2 x dupont housing shell 1 pin, 10 x dupont terminals (M&F), and 1 x jumper cap.Warning: Electronic devices can be damaged or destroyed if connected to the wrong side polarity. Check your polarity before plugging smart sensor in. Note: An additional power supply may be needed if your board does not supply enough current at 5V. Depending on your type of 3D Printer, you may need to remove or add some parts to the controller board. Check with your printer manufacturer prior to purchase. Review: Almost a year ago I installed 'BLTOUCH BL Touch Auto Bed Levelling Sensor' and here I am sharing my bit of experience. For Installation you needn't be a pro but at least should have clear concept of basic circuits, wiring and should know to manipulate codes with Arduino IDE. Rest assured any good guidance from google or YouTube will sail you smoothly before you can start your first levelling with an hour or two. I needn't preach on this but its known that doing adequate online research from credible sources always helps. Once installation is done and you get friendlier you will almost forget that bed levelling was your task that couldn't be done away with. BLtouch will do its job every time perfectly. I still do the sheet of paper method once in a long while, but that doesn't feel tedious, only adds satisfaction of doing yourself that fine tuning that deviation which inevitably occurs in any mechanical or electro-mechanical setups. Its a good product and all the good things you have come across the net is true. As I use octoprint I can tell you that BLtouch plugin will make things even easier. As a tip for new user just do a bit of research and alter the sequence of default routine of home and z-axis homing before the hot-bed heats up. That will prolong the life span of the probing tip. Review: This product works as advertised, with a few caveats. The connection from the extension cable to the mainboard is generally loose and can cause unexpected behavior if not secured. I wedged some thin cardstock in beside it to hold it tight and that finally did the trick. I won't lower the product rating for that since its a known issue in the community and doesn't reflect the actual performance of this genuine and functional BL Touch unit. Some people have attached the correct style of connector for their specific board in their install tutorials. I would not rate the install as "easy" since I do not have pin tools and opted to strip and solder the wires to connect the extension cable to the factory one. Once that was done, I fed the wires through the braided cable management compression tubes down to the mainboard and plugged it it. Having the 4.2.2 mainboard, I didn't require any additional interface equipment (transfer board). Older boards will, and you may want to look for a complete interface kit if you have an older board. This kit doesn't have a mounting bracket for the BL Touch, so I printed my own. Flashing the new firmware from creality.com/download was easy for this model of mainboard (4.2.2 or the newer 4.2.7), I simply erased an SD card, placed the new .BIN file on the SD, inserted it into the printer, and booted it up. After that finished, I wiped the card, loaded some print files, and returned the card to the printer before configuring the new setup since settings will be saved on the SD card. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the performance of the BL Touch and, having fixed my loose connection to the mainboard, the unit itself works perfectly every time. I have since upgraded to the 4.2.7 mainboard, and the unit also works perfectly with that. I have also added OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi and the bed visualization plugin that displays the mesh data from the BL Touch in a graphical format makes it even easier to fine-tune a perfect base-level print platform so that the automatic bed leveling system has less work to do. ## Features - BLTouch is an auto leveling sensor for 3D Printers based on open-source. - Simple, Smart, & Precise with repeatability is around 0.005mm - It could work with any kinds of bed materials, such as glasses, woods, metals, and so on. - Comes with 1m dupont connector extension cable set ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076PQG1FF | | Best Sellers Rank | 97,431 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 2,669 in 3D Printer Accessories | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | BLT001 | | Manufacturer | ANTCLABS | | Product Dimensions | 15 x 10 x 5 cm; 30 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ANTCLABS - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Smartphone - **Material:** Wood Metal - **Operating system:** Windows, macOS, Linux - **Supported file format:** STL ## Images ![BLTouch : Auto Bed Leveling Sensor/To be a Premium 3D Printer (With 1M Extension Cable Set) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-uey34wtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the 1 meter cable long enough for the Ender 3 Pro?** A: I can only assume Charles G. did not get the "1 meter" cable version.....I mean 1 meter or 3 feet....He must have upgraded his printing surface to a full dinner table if not. **Q: Is the product sold by cube8 the same exact bltouch as sold by the maker, antclabs?** A: Yes it is.
