Description
The famous BLTouch sensor from ANTCLABS from South Korea! The BLTouch is a 3D printer bed levelling sensor that enables automatic bed levelling on your 3D printer regardless of the printing surface.
BLTouch is an automatic level sensor for 3D printers, with which the inclination of the bed surface can be measured precisely. It can work with all types of print bed surfaces such as glass, blue tape or other materials.
Easy installation
The BL Touch has two wiring groups, one with three and one with two wires. The group of three wires is a standard servo connection and the group of two wires is a switch. The probe is controlled via the servo connection and extended and retracted if necessary. The switch notifies the printer when the probe has touched the bed. Consult the documentation of your switch module to find out where these cables can be connected. The exact function of the individual wires is listed in the manual. When installing on your hotend, make sure that the extended probe reaches under the nozzle, otherwise the probe is unusable! Be sure to test this visually before trying to use the BLTouch.
The BLTouch is connected to the control board of your 3D printer via four pins and has the following functions:
- Brown & Black: Grounding
- Red: 5 V
- Orange: control signal
- White: Z-min
Note that depending on your 3D printer, a firmware update may be required for the BLTouch to work properly.
Functions
The main functions of BLTouch are the same as with conventional automatic level sensors. BLTouch can, therefore, be used on almost any printer.
BLTouch has a simple structure and high precision thanks to the use of a progressively designed solenoid and Hall sensor. It aims for ease of use and pleasant printing by incorporating many intelligent functions such as self-test, alarm, alarm triggering and touch switch mode, blue LED for the display of the servo signal and Z-Probe (Zmin) tests.

BT Touch
Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
Installed on my Creality Ender 3, remove most of the bed leveling work (I'm using Marlin UBL system) and greatly improve bed adhesion by dealing with first layer bed levell.
Every printer should have it!Was this review helpful? (1) (0)

Tricky but good
Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
These suckers can be testing to install and set up, but you'll get there eventually.
I highly recommend doing your research before buying.Was this review helpful? (1) (0)
Did you know?
The concept of the 3D printer came about from an American inventor and engineer, Chuck Hull, during the s80s. He also founded the company called 3D Systems.

Its a bit tricky, unfortunately. Creality uses a mini-JST XH connection on the Ender 6. Antclabs (the manufacturer of the BLTouch) don't actually make this mainboard connector for the BLTouch yet but it is the same connector that they use for the sensor side of the extension cable. So to make it work, you can use the original cable that came with BLTouch and wire it with either of the extension cables so you have the mini connector on both the sensor side and the mainboard side.
