3D Touch Probe Pin Replacement, 5PCS Smart Auto Bed Leveling Push-Pin Needle Self Level Sensor Probe Tips for Bltouch, 3D Touch, CR Touch

Got this to upgrade my Anet A8 and it installed smoothly and seems to be working great. I am loving the ability to quickly auto level the bed and get to printing.

Wiring this up was no picnic and definitely is not for anyone who isn't comfortable with a soldering iron, at least not if they are fitting it to a Voxelab Aquila like I did. The cable run provided is too short. So you can either solder in a bunch of patch wires to elongate it (which is what I did) or order a separate wire harness (which will require familiarity with electronics even more specialized than knowing how to solder).The wire colors don't match any of the guides you'll find online, which are mostly for BLTouch units with some describing 3DTouch sold by a different company. Neither of them use the same wire colors as this one, so you basically need to match the i/o pins from the touch sensor to your motherboard, but helpfully they are all labeled.So, like I said, it's a very hard install. I haven't heard of any of these that are straight plug and play for my printer, though, so I really appreciate how inexpensive this one was.Performance has been perfect.

It seems when the cables for this were being produced, the installer had the wiring order backwards. If you hook it up the same way as the rest of the BL touches on youtube, you're going to fry your mainboard. I plugged this into the board of my Ender3 V2 and could smell the magic smoke and the display would not turn on.I turned it off, checked the wiring to make sure I didn't have a wire backwards and the color code was what it showed in the videos and turned it back on again. Same thing. After looking very closely at the videos I noticed the color pattern on the sensor itself was flipped 180 degrees. I used the short wiring harness with the dupont connectors to verify my theory that it was off by 180 and sure enough the system booted, the sensor went through its self test and the display came on.The attached picture shows the CORRECT wiring scheme if your color pattern looks like mine does.

They are what they are. They work good and replaced my broken off one from my bltouch or clone.

UPDATEI changed my review from one start to five stars.Before purchasing, you need to know a few things! It comes with NO mounting hardware or instructions. DO NOT start installing the probe right out of the box! You have to go on something like Thingiverse and find mounting hardware for your printer. Installing the probe requires you to uninstall your z-stop that came in the printer. You won't be able to print the mounting hardware if you disable your previous z-stop. I went on Thingsiverse. They have a plether of mounting hardware for many, many, type of 3D printers.There are no instructions. I emailed support, but support is horrible. No matter what question you ask, they respond with misspelled words saying "you can search youtu". If you ask, was the product suppose to come with mounting hardware? Support responds with, "you can search youtu". The good news is, YouTube has a ton of videos on how to install the probe. FYI, take an entire day off. That's how long it's going to take you. From installing it and calibrating it. It takes a long time! Not difficult, just time consuming!Once, it all done and calibrated. It's awesome. My designs come out perfect. Small M2, screw holes, that start at the bed, are perfect.I installed the probe on a Voxelab Aquila X2 using Klipper with Fluidd.Previous reviewIt says it works with the Ender Pro 3!. I purchased the probe and it came today. However, all the was in a small plastic bag was the probe, two small screws, and the wire. NO MOUNTING HARDWARE, NO INSTRUCTIONS, you are just left hanging. Have no idea how to install the probe. Going to have to send it back. The seller needs better quality control, check the shipments and make sure they contain all the material before shipping.

The pin should be below your nozzle when deployed and above your nozzle when stowed. The original BL Touch's pin is triggered earlier in it's throw so when stowed the pin is higher then this product.I got 2 and confirmed they both work. I've installed one and have two more on order.They're less sensitive then a BL TOuch so you'll need to mount them lower but its workable for the price difference.Vert nice for the $$ you even get pins to crimp on for using the 5-pin connector.in wire picture, the top is this one's wire, and the bottom is an official BL Touch wire.

All 3D printers should come with auto-bed leveling. Makes life a bit easy instead of manually adjusting the bed.Don't get me wrong, the initial setup on some of these printers you have no choice in the matter initially but to do a manual bed adjusting. The closer you manually adjust the leveling the better.The beds on these printers are NOT perfectly flat. With the auto leveling, it creates a grid of points to make sure your prints come out as close to perfect as possible!!
