Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ BLTouch Sovol Printer Leveling Sensor by Jay Maryland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

1 star deducted for the terrible instructions.

Overall a good product. However, the installation instructions for it are terrible. It also didn't help that D11, where the three wire connector was to be placed, was covered in hot wax. The online instructions list a different set of wires (red and black) so it didn't specify how the blue, red, and yellow wires are positioned. I've included a picture of the orientation of the wires. When installing, also turn off the display (EXP1 and EXP2). This allows you to move the ribbon cables around to create more space. You can find detailed instructions on YouTube. Look for the video "Sovol SV-01 BLtouch and silent motherboard installation" by Joshua Bardwell. This will guide you through the entire installation where you will get the correct firmware and required GCode to use BL Touch. I just finished his video, got the correct firmware (Sovol doesn't link to the correct one) and my printer is working like a champ.
