Creality CR Touch Auto Bed Leveling Sensor,2023 Upgrade Noiseless Auto Bed Level Kit for 32 bit 4.2.2 &4.2.7 Motherboard,Fit for Ender 3/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 3 V2/ Ender 3 Max/Ender 5/Ender 5 Pro/CR 10

Easy to install but didnt give much instructuon on figuring out what firmware to use i found a few great videos to help figure it out that also helped show how to install over all helped add quality of my prints by making the base layer uniform

I can't speak for the instructions because I didn't read them at all; the booklet was too small for my middle-aged eyes. I installed this on an Ender 3 V2, and found a good YT tutorial for exactly that, so that's how I did the installation. That was really easy and took...oh, probably half an hour total. Then came the "fun" part of the Z-axis offset, and you betcha those are sarcasm quotes because it was *not* fun! Just when I'd think I had it perfect, I'd do a test print, and something was off on one side or a corner, or whatever, and I'd have to start all over again. I almost gave up; it took me *ages* and a lot of words I wouldn't have said in front of my grandmother to get it right (my offset is 1.40, FWIW), but now that it is, it prints beautifully.

I bought this to help improve print quality. It does help. It does its job. But the part that I found frustrating with this was the firmware update. No videos currently help in the new software update, there are links that lead you to where the software is. But the naming convention doesn't make it easy to find, once you get it, the set up and all that is done by the machine, just be careful because you can download the wrong files.

Used with Creality firmware: "CR-10-Marlin2.0.1-20201207-HW-V4.2.7-SW-V1.1.1 BL touch-English.bin". Seems to work. This is for their v4.2.7 32 bit silent stepper board. The probe offset did not work as instructed (manual ridiculously small). For me, at the status screen after homing z is shown as 10. To get your offset, you have to move z to 0, then see how much further you need to go to get to resistance with the paper test, in my case 1.9mm. So for me the probe offset needs to be -1.9mm, save that setting. So if I home the CR-10 now, Z is shown as 11.9. Prints fine. I'm not certain the CR touch is necessary as I have the stronger springs and White wheels to adjust, I marked them for level. They do move on a long print but if you return the marks to their correct spot, level is always correct, can be done during the print as well. Might use the silicone support columns or not. Just figured if I'm going to dig into it...

So I bought this to hopefully win the battle of bed leveling and failed prints, and I surely did just that. I couldn't be happier with the performance of this thing. I have no noise issues it plugged right into my ender 3 without any modification to the 4.2.2 mainboard.it probes the bed in 9 locations(by default) and if you are running a raspberry pi this is how you get your bed leveling mesh.it does a really good job of adjusting the z height of your printer and getting a really good first layer. with all that said I don't even use it anymore. after getting better bedsprings and a glass build plate I found that I get better performance with manual bed leveling and this thing now only exists to pull mesh data if for some reason I want it. I installed this on my 11-year-old son's ender 3 to make his life easier while he learns the proper way to tram a build plate,which is exactly what I recommend you do and save yourself 40$ and use it somewhere else :D Happy Printing!

Instructions for CR-10 series is virtually non-existent. Had to resort to forums and online videos made by amateurs for help. Once installed, firmware needs to be acquired. Creality makes it difficult to find on their site. When you do find it, it's on GOOGLE DRIVE. Really?!? Creality can't afford to host its own files? Then you learn on a CR10 series you have to flash via USB cable, not SD. Not a problem, except the cheap USB chipsets/adaptors they use have very temperamental drivers and might recognise the connection about 1 in 30 times. Finally. We're flashed, but... There is something wrong with Creality's current firmware for the CR Touch. That's right; Creality's own updated for 2022 product doesn't even have properly working firmware for the CR10 series! When you set your Z offset, it will store, but not register when doing any movements or printing. After some research I found this is a known issue that has been brought up by the community for quite a while and nothing is being done about it by Creality. So thankfully, some frustrated individuals came up with their own firmware solution that actually works. So it is flashed and working now, but when I removed the USB cable for the last time, the board's USB adaptor snapped off, meaning now whatever is there is forever. A nice visual analogy and summary to the quality I have experienced from Creality. Never again. So next time you have $400 and some change lying around, don't buy one of these garbage Chinese printers. Just find someone special to take out on a really nice date instead.

This was a great buy for the money, very easy to install and it perform great. Very durable and help with print quality by making sure you're level. It doesn't help with any adhesion to the bed but it will help keep you level and in tune.

The BL touch sensor that came with my ender 5 plus was a plastic POS that never worked and would not allow the bed to level. I swapped it with this and the printer is now up and running. Installation was super easy and the quality of this sensor versus the one that came with the printer is night and day. Shame on creality for using such inferior products when they sell a printer and force you to make multiple upgrades to actually get that printer to work properly.

This is the 2nd one I have bought! The first I used on mine and I am now gifting them to other because I like them soo much! Works great and good price !

The touch sensor installed easily and once the Z axis offset was determined the Ender 3 pro printed like a champ! Excellent device.

this little thing is a must for 3d printing - if you don't have a spare, keep one.

Added more BLT to my ender 3 v2 Bed levelling is much convenient. Machine works great. bed levelling is great 3-D printing is improved

Good price and quality
