ANTCLABS BLTouch : Auto Bed Leveling Sensor/to be a Premium 3D Printer (with 2M Extension Cable Set)

Bought this to replace the sensor that came stock with my CR10s pro. it came bent. I didnt try to straighten it but it does seem to be working

Had to reverse the Z-endstop wires verses what the instructions said on the Tevo Tarantula but after that no issues. A little fiddly getting all the offsets right but you can hardly blame that on the product. Also the range is small so your bed still needs to be fairly close to level. It only loses a star for the hour I spent troubleshooting the wiring issue.

The most useful addition to a 3D Printer. If you are using the ender 5, a 1M extension is a must.

Very happy with the BLTouch. Plugged it in and it worked as advertised. Always buy the Genuine ones like this.

I could not get this to work on my anycubic i3 Mega Printer I tried all kinds of custom firmware, settings, double checked wiring, ect. I GIVE UP.

This works fantastic until you run a higher temprature filiment like ABS or Nylion. Anything over 60c from a preheat sends it into a wonky flash of errors forcing you to do an M99. I really wish this company would use material with a higher temprature rating (I would be willing to pay more for it). 3 out of 5.

Use with my Anet A8. Shortly after getting one, my friend also got one for their A8. Have not had to do any kind of leveling since it got it honed with with the BL touch and can even start print remotely without worry of the first layers.

I received a v3.1, and it is working with my Ender 3 stock board and Marlin 1.1.19 bugfix. I printed a fixed bracket I found on thingverse and did not use the springs. That placed the probes trigger point at about 1.5mm below the nozzle.

Set this up on a CR-10 using the pin adapter and the latest TH3D firmware. Required the use of an arduino and a lot of learn as you go. In the end, it works great!

Many many reels of filament have gone through this printer since them as well as several hotends and a stepper motor and belts. So the BLtouch wearing out is not a surprise. I did try replacing the wiring and probe but it still failed at start each time. Resetting and retracting the probe allowed it to work . Maybe I could have kept on doing that but figured its time to retire it. One star subtracted since they show the connector at the end of the 1 meter harness is not dupont. And what came is the old style dupont,
