Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhanced Leveling Premium Extension by ANTCLABS BLTouch by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great - be careful it's really hard to install, program and calibrate!

This is a great addition to a 3D printer as it virtually eliminates any problems with leveling the bed. However, note that this is a big problem. to get it working with some printers, and the manufacturer provides little to no documentation. Prepare to work for hours to make it work and be amazed. why does this not work! If it works, it's cool. Here are some notes from my experience. I am using Marlin with a Geeetech printer. This requires a firmware update on your printer. Pull out this Arduino editor and download the latest Marlin firmware. The sensor's output connects in place of the Z limit switch. In Marlin, after many hours of fighting, I found that you need to disable the pull-up resistor in the Marlin firmware at this limit switch in order for the sensor to be recognized. I highly recommend that you watch the YouTube video to learn how to make the necessary changes to the Marlin firmware. and how to calibrate the sensor. - Recommend programming your slicer's pre-print commands to heat up the bed during auto-leveling as it will save some time.

Pros
  • Simple, smart and accurate with a repeatability of about 0.005mm
