Description

Upgrade Auto Bed Leveling to your Creality 3D Printer!

 

 

Note: These BLTouch kits come with a wiring connector ready for controller board V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 that comes in Ender-3, Ender 3 PRO and Ender-3 V2.

Note: If your Ender-3 or Ender-3 PRO comes with an 8-bit (Green) board, please get another BLTouch kit.

 


 

The Genuine Antclabs BLTouch V3.1

BLTouch is a type of semiconductor hall sensor and is an electronic component for 3D printers. It is an auto-leveling sensor for 3D printers that can precisely measure the tilt of the bed surface. It could work with any kind of bed material, such as glasses, wood, metals, and so on.

The main functions and controls of BLTouch are the same as the usual auto bed leveling sensor, which consists of an RC servo and microswitch. Thus, BLTouch can be applied on almost every board.

BLTouch is fulfilled with simple structure and high precision by using progressively designed solenoid and hall sensors. It 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.

  • Self-test: The push pin operates two times in a test when the power is on.
  • Alarm: The LED light blinks if a problem was found on a self-test or during operation
  • Wiring defect indicator: Blue and Red LED for indicating wiring defects.




The BLTouch itself is compatible with many open-source 3D Printers. However, the kit comes with a bracket and wiring socket that is compatible with Creality Ender-3 V2 3D Printer.

Installing BLTouch to 32-bit controller board of Ender-3, Ender-3 PRO or Ender-3 V2:

  1. Installing the BLTouch to the printer hot-end assembly
  2. Route and tidy up the wiring to the bottom of the printer, where the controller sits.
  3. Open the bottom of the printer and connect the wires to the dedicated socket.
  4. You will also need to remove the Z-stop switch.
  5. Check and record the controller board version, it should be either V4.2.2 or V4.2.7.
  6. Download the proper firmware according to your board version and BLTouch.
  7. Update the firmware using the microSD card, you can refer to the videos to do that.
  8. Power up and test auto-home, and always get ready to cut the power if the BLTouch does not work!
  9. If it does not work, check if the firmware is updated correctly and the wiring.

Worry about installing the BLTouch and updating the firmware on your printer controller to use BLTouch? Don't worry, do check out these videos:

Warranty Period: 12 months
Features
  • Genuine BLTouch V3.1 from Antclabs
  • Comes with a 150cm length cable, terminated with a 5-pin connector for Creality 32-bit controller board
  • No wiring swapping or modification is needed for the V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 controller board.
  • Comes with cable ties (tidy the cabling), screws, and BLtouch mounting bracket/rack for 3D Printer (depending on the kit)
  • Choose the kit based on your 3D Printer model:
  • Innovative solenoid: ultra power saving
    • On idle state, while the push-pin is whether pulled out or retracted, there is no electric current flowing on the solenoid. Standby electric current in the whole device is below the average of 15mA on working state, but while the pin is moving, in a sudden time about 100ms, under 300mA flows in the device.
    • Low power consumption even drops joule heating, and it prevents overheating problems.
  • Hall sensor: free bed selection
    • BLTouch DOES NOT use optical nor proximity (inductive/capacitive) sensor.
    • BLTouch is controlled by the hall effect, providing high precision. Thus the bed material can be freely selected.
  • Optimized structure: larger build size
    • BLTouch is a small, and technology-intensive device. Build size can be set larger than other existing auto bed leveling sensors.​
  • Easy to use 
    • BLTouch uses the existing RC Servo motor signal, so just plug BLTouch to any PWM pin.
  • Smart
    • Self-test: The push pin operates two times in a test when the power is on.
    • Alarm: The controller 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.
  • The Pioneer of Auto Bed Leveling, used by thousands of 3D Printer owners on hundreds of 3D printer models.
  • Voltage: 5VDC
