ANTCLABS BLTouch : Auto Bed Leveling Sensor/To be a Premium 3D Printer (With 1M Extension Cable Set)

Product Information

define Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT ((X_BED_SIZE) / 2) // X point for Z homing when homing all axes (G28). Even though paying attention to these two factors for configuring the start G-code will ensure that your BLTouch will run and automatically level the bed before each print, the code won’t be fully optimized, which we will cover next. How to Optimize the BLTouch Start G-Code? When you have all the necessary materials together, you can start the installation. The installation is divided into two steps: mount the BLTouch itself to the print head and then connect the cable to the mainboard. Obstruction of the pin, causing it to be incapable of moving up and down freely, which can be due to either internal factors (damaged probe) or external factors (dust, dirt, etc.) Put the 3D printer on its side and open the mainboard housing. To do this, you need to unscrew three screws on the bottom and one under the print bed.

A Piezo sensor makes use of the Piezo-electric effect to capture changes in force, pressure, or strain, and convert these changes into electrical charge. Precision Piezo, a company in UK, is one of the few companies making Piezo sensors for 3D printers. It has been said that these have close to 7-micron accuracy, which is quite precise for a 3D printer.I recommend using the breakout board as it’s simpler and saves a lot of time. Most BLTouch kits for the Ender 3 come with this now. However, these physical switches give the other fancier sensors a run for their money when it comes to the cost and ease of configuration. Since physical switches are the simplest and earliest form of Z-homing sensors, they’re easy to obtain and trivial to set up. Easy to Use: This auto bed leveling sensor makes it easier to level the hotbed, which can precisely measure the tilt of the Bed surface. Bed leveling is not a problem anymore. 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 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.

Main Features: 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. A collection of useful macros to run with RepRapFirmware (RRF) Duet3D and the Duet Web Control (DWC). But what is a macro? Read to find out more. RRF Duet3D macros As stated above, we highly recommend you save yourself some hassle and go with the BLTouch kit we used for the install. If using the BLTouch kitSo the question is extremely simple. Why not install a leveling sensor to level at a single central point in the bed ( SAFE_HOMING), and let Marlin generate the mesh of points and worry about the rest? That’s what Marlin is for, to make life easier for us. If you wish to use the physical limit switch endstops, such as those found on the Creality Ender 3, then the DIAG pins MUST be left with no jumpers connected. Stepper Motor Wiring
