A Perfect Auto Bed Leveling for Creality Printers
Â
Note: The CR-Touch kit comes with a wiring connector ready for V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 32-bit controller board (Black color PCB) that comes in Ender-3, Ender 3 PRO, and Ender-3 V2. Not to forget Ender-3 MAX.

The CR-Touch is a Creality 3D research institute self-developed 3D printer platform leveling solution based on hundreds of millions of users' data used by the creators. It is fully compatible withAntclabs's BLTouch.
Â
Compared with the traditional automatic leveling, it is compatible with more 3D printer platforms, more stable, and cost-effective. CR Touch is upgraded to a metal probe, which reduces wear and tear and greatly prolongs its service life.
The CR-Touch is compatible with these 3D Printers:

Check out this video by My Tech Fun, installing CR-Touch on to Ender-3 V2:
Installing CR-Touch to 32-bit controller board (Both V4.2.2 and V4.2.7) of Ender-3, Ender-3 PRO or Ender-3 V2:
- Installing the CR-Touch to the printer hot-end assembly.
- Route and tidy up the wiring to the bottom of the printer, where the controller sits.
- Open the bottom of the printer and connect the wires to the dedicated socket.
- You will also need to remove the Z-stop switch.
- Check and record the controller board version, it should be either V4.2.2 or V4.2.7.
- Download the proper firmware according to your board version and CR-Touch.
- Update the firmware using the FAT32 formatted microSD card, you can refer to the video to do that.
- Power up and test auto-home, and always get ready to cut the power if the CR-Touch does not work!
- Level the bed, set the Z-offset and Store settings :)
- If it does not work, check if the firmware is updated correctly and the wiring.
Worry about installing the CR-Touch and updating the firmware on your printer controller to use CR-Touch? Don't worry, in terms of firmware, they are both compatible, you can always use the firmware for BLTouch for CR-Touch. Do check out these videos:

My Tech Fun has also done a detailed review on CR-Touch and made the comparison with BLTouch:

ruiraptor did a BLtouch installation onto Ender-3 Max and since BLtouch and CR-Touch are compatible, I believe you can refer to this video for the installation to Ender-3 Max too:
