Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced BLTouch Leveling Mainboard by Creality by Steve Brethorst

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Absolute junk in 3D printer supplies

Let's start with what I have. I have an Ender 3 Pro with a 4.2.7 motherboard. Hope this helps someone. Installation was easy. It took me less than 15 minutes with the included wiring and adapter. The instructions are basically pictures of parts of the process that don't help. First I downloaded the wrong firmware from Creality.com/Download. This was indicated by a loud beep from my Ender 3 Pro's control unit. I figured out the correct firmware and tried leveling the bed. ADAPTER SUPPLIED too high. About 5mm high. I've tried fixing it with a Z offset, but every time you tell it to save the info it just beeps. I surfed the old reliable internet and all the information I could find was about the original Ender 3 board. I finally found a youtube video on how to do it and it took me about an hour using VS Basic and building my own firmware. Yes, Creality firmware does not work well on a Creality device. I've been playing around with this for a while and for some reason I couldn't compile it. I found an adapter on Thingverse that raised the BL Touch sensor. HA! Progress. Luckily I have a second printer, which I assemble quickly (4 hours) and try it out. The bed level looked perfect with the new adapter. I will print my first print, these are planes, campers and. drills a hole in my glass. The adapter provided by Creality is too big. The firmware is not very stable and does not save commands. The manual is not worth the paper it is printed on. Brochure in Korean. So I'm going to return it and buy a new glass top. Don't buy this if you care about your car.

Pros
  • Additive manufacturing products
Cons
