constant problems. Almost useless.

I was very happy to get my BL Touch, I know people have had great success with it. HOWEVER, from the moment I installed mine on my Tevo Tornado, I've had nothing but problems. Installing the BL Touch is not very difficult, you just need to remove the Z limit switch cables and reattach the BL Touch and then flash your firmware.

Pros
  • Comes with 1m Dupont extension cord
Cons

This is a great addition to a 3D printer as it virtually eliminates any problems with leveling the bed.

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

Pros
  • BLTouch is an open source auto-leveling sensor for 3D printers.
Cons
  • Socket required
