This should work with just about any printer but I've only tested it with Ender 3 so far. ※ When replacing a conventional proximity sensor with a BLTouch. Stock motherboard. PrusaSlicer is good and easy to use, but very slow... Cura and ideaMaker slice much faster :), I'm gonna try yours for idea Maker because for whatever reason it will start printing while the hot end is at home - without moving. chrisonmoon Posts: 1 Member. An obstruction could also be dirt on the pin restricting smooth movement, in that case just clean it. A sub-reddit for the users of the Creality Ender 3 3D printer. If there is no QR code on PCB, suspect it (All BLTouch produced after May 2017 includes QR code). ☜  click here. WILL WORK WITH OTHER PRINTERS TOO by hex42141 - Thingiverse. G28 ; home Thus, BLTouch can be applied on almost every board. ※ Depending on your type of 3D printer, you may need to remove or add some parts of the board. Once i swapped the signal cables around, the bltouch detected and stopped the extruder from going down further. Most Board provides its own servo pin, so BLTouch can be used connected to one of those servo pins. Start-up GCODE Once you have done all of the above you’re so close to auto bed levelling prints but you need to add some GCODE to your Start-up script that your printer uses, this is done through your slicer.
