Review on 🖨️ Enhanced Printer Performance with the Creality Leveling Compatible Mainboard by Redfish Rosenhoover

The first one did not work, reported that it was not possible to confirm the pinout, the LED flashed for a few minutes, after which it went out completely. I used it to replace an already installed and working BLTouch, just unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one, no rewiring so I knew everything was fine there. It was just a bad block or component or just too many delivery errors, it happens. I contacted Revain and they sent a replacement straight away, I hooked it up to the same wiring and it works great. However, if you are replacing a BLTouch, be aware that the stylus on the CRTouch is shorter, it may need to be adjusted a few mm lower so you may need to adjust the height of the mounting bracket, or relocate it if yours cannot be adjusted and your old mount is out of this range. I just finished building a new CoreXY heated bed 3D printer and wanted to use the bed level sensor with a few different bed surfaces. I needed one that could stand up to the heat and one that didn't require me to re-adjust the z-offset every time I switched print surfaces, so it had to be a BLTouch or mechanical type. I only chose the CRTouch because I liked the look and the metal pin, at the time I ordered it was a bit cheaper than the BLTouch. Also, I already had a BLTouch on the car so I didn't have to add or change any wiring. The pin is shorter, it doesn't protrude as much, which I think is a good thing. The LED is not that bright which I like because in low light the LED on my old BLTouch would illuminate the video camera I have on the printer. That really bright LED on the old BLTouch annoyed me. Otherwise it works the same, gives me the same accuracy and it doesn't matter what bed surface I put underneath. I can go from smooth glass to coated glass, to textured coated spring steel, or to smooth PEI sheets of all different thicknesses without worrying about adjusting the Z offset, so for my purposes it's much better than any inductive one Sensor. This is where BLTouch and CRTouch shine, in my opinion the surface you use doesn't have to be metal for the probe to work and it's easy to go from a 5mm thick mirror to a 4mm thick coated glass to around 1mm to change thick spring steel. /PEI, this sensor doesn't care, it reads everything the same and maintains the same z-offset no matter the thickness of the ply surface, whatever filament I'm using. I love it.
