Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Optimized Mainboard for Creality Leveling by Ian Bates

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Build quality

I have always used BL Touch V3.0 but figured I should upgrade to the real one because I run my miniature print farm as a business and I never want to run into the problem. I have never had a problem with the BL Touch V3.0 but I will say that I enjoy using the Creality CR Touches on my printers much more because it gives me peace of mind. I've heard many stories from BL Touch users about their inaccurate readings and it pays for me to have an accurate meter. The first time the nozzle scratches and destroys the bed, the Creality CR Touch pays for itself. This is one of those products that it makes sense to spend extra money on to keep a cheap device from failing. The Creality CR Touch surprised me with the build quality. The device has a very nice translucent black plastic case with an all-metal probe. It seems much stronger than the BL Touch V3.0. The included CR Touch cable is 55 inches long, which is good enough for Ender 3-style printers. I haven't installed this device on any of my Ender 6s yet, but it looks like you're going to need a fairly large extension cord. The included brackets fit many different Ender 3 and 5 printers. So if you have another type of printer you will need to print your own mount. Personally, I think it's worth investing in a quality instrument like the Creality CR Touch. one.
