BLTouch - Auto Bed Leveling Sensor - Antclabs

Just added my 2nd printer and a bltouch is a no brainer after how it helped with my first printers bed issues, save yourself the first layer headaches and let the machine do it’s job and get that first layer down nicely.

My first unit went haywire and then died. Derek from Spool3D sent me a new one and all is well now. After setting home (the distance from extruder tip to the bed) and then manually leveling, this unit does the trick. It dests in a grid pattern measuring the beds distance from the nozzle in numerous locations, 25 on my Ender 6 to be exact. These measurements are used to adjust the distance during the print. My bed isn't level even wen it has been leveled manually. It has deviations that the BL touch compensates for. As long as the initial home setting is close enough to the bed, BL will do the rest. I think its a must have item.

Replace the part fixed the problem. Quick service and shipping

My install was a bit more complicated as the board I use doesn't directly support ABL sensor but this came with plenty of extra parts and the instructions on their website are very clear. Honestly the hardest part of installing this is the software side configuration... the hardware itself is well made and easy to install.

Work great. A bit more rugged probe that the stock factory.

Auto bed levelling is great.....when everything works. The BT Touch I purchased from Spool3D continues to give me problems. I have checked the voltages on the boeard, purchased a 2.0m connection cable with pre-wired connectors and this BL-Touch is still not working. The problem I have is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 25% of the time when I turn on the machine the BT-Touch does it's self check and drops and retracts the probe pin a couple of times. The other 75% of the time, I turn the machine on and it just sits there. I've found a flick with my finger gets it to wake up and function, but even after that I have to keep an eye on whether it's going to drop the probe or not and give it a flick to get it to work. I think I have a defective unit, this doesn't seem like a wiring or power issue.

Works perfect. More reliable levelling than my inductive sensor. Glows red during normal operations, but this seems to be normal. Would highly recommend and but again.

It is a must have, and I am super happy buying It from Spool3D.ca

Works every single time compared to the clone I had which never once made a successful mesh probing routine. I should probably know better by now. Buy once, cry once. It would have saved me hours of time over weeks trying to get the clone to work. Buy the best cry about it once.

Great product, works great as long as all the coding is right. Fast shipping.
