This video was filmed really nicely. The lighting, the camera work, the editing, everything looks super professional. Keep up the good work.
you are honestly a lifesaver for giving us that software i have been searching for days lmao
Check out the Blog Post about this sensor for more Photos and Testing Details: www.hotrodhippie.com/post/new-creality-cr-touch-abl-vs-bl-touch-sensor-for-3d-printers
Link to my GitHub with the Firmware (Ender 3 with 4.2.7 Board ONLY): github.com/MandicReally/CR-Touch-Firmware
Also newer versions of the CR Touch exist that come with an SD Card and an "Anti-Rattle" piece on them now.
works great!!
Does this firmware have the Z offset wizard as well? or nah?
@@joshuamasterson2062 nope, it’s one of the things I criticized Creality for not including. I haven’t tested any newer releases (if there are any).
@@MandicReally Do you still have the software that you used containing the wizard? It would be really helpful to have for a beginner like me.
ender 3 pro have a 4.2.2 or 4.2.7?
I originally found you on TT. But i have to admit, this was a very professional and informative video. Honestly, i could see you doing this professionally for a living. Keep up the good work and I'll be waiting for new videos to appear.
Yes! Finally someone with pictures of the inside and it reveals ... an optical sensor! That alone makes this thing so much better than a BLtouch. No more interference from nearby magnetic items or electromagnetic fields. A lot less tuning required to get it to trigger consistently (because of the Hall sensor in a BL-touch). And the mechanism to deploy the pin seems much more robust - from the movies I saw I guess it needs to be actively deployed, so no more risk of the pin dropping by heavy shaking of the gantry. This looks like a winner to me ... except for the price maybe, but I guess it won't take long for cheap clones to appear and because of the less tricky technology in here, I think those clones will be way better than even an original BL-touch. This might get me away from building my own (servo + opto-sensor) probes ...
Everything you said seems pretty accurate to me. The probe does need to be energized to extend so it fails safe (barring mechanical binding of course).
As for testing while power cycling, if / when I get wiring to testing on other machines I’ll see about doing that.
The price is a fair but more than a standalone BL touch but I’m already seeing these kits for the CR Touch with like $5-6 off coupon codes on Amazon. So seeing them around $40 isn’t far off I’d bet.
@@MandicReally So in your opinion should I get the BL touch or CR touch for my Ender 3 Pro?
@@kenopyowo cr, I just went threw all this lol
@@jimsinnovations2737 ah shit i just recently got a bl touch. lets see how this goes. I haven't installed it yet, im printing the hero me gen5 first
@@kenopyowo it's awesome make sure take Off that one z step on bottom
Niiice, you showed the insides and it's just how I understood it from their page: it's got an optical sensor on it, instead of the magnetic one. Love seeing the insides of stuff. Also the M48 was exactly what I was looking for. That's far more accurate than I was expecting (frankly the BL Touch also did surprise me, I thought it wasn't gonna be as high either).
I always think I should add a BL touch of some sort on my machines, but then I remember I manually bed level the machines like once every 6 months, if that. I think the glass bed helps.
In a way they are over rated. If you do a good manual level, I think the only advantage of Auto Bed Leveling is it usually probes more points and compensates, but only on the 1st layer. I used to auto level before every print, but that is slow and really no need so I stopped doing that.
They help if your bed is warped. Which glass should not be…
@@timothymusson5040 ideally glass doesn’t warp. In practice it does, though. I had a glass bed that started out flat, but took on a slight “taco” warp within a few months. Addition of the BL Touch helped deal with that. I now mostly print to a steel plate with a smooth PEI sheet, and that’s working for me right now. I run the bed probing maybe every ten prints or so.
@@timothymusson5040 My bed is so warped that even glass doesn't fix it.
Except when it breaks. Which mine did after 2 weeks.
Sir! Very well done! Oh my goodness. No kidding my son and I are 3 weeks deep into our new 3D printing hobby. We have an Ender 3. I Ordered the CR touch and tried to install it yesterday. First step was to watch the two minute Creality install video. LMAO Sir I said to my son “it looks too easy to be true”. First hurdle was an absolute struggle to figure out which dad gum frimware to use. The instructions from a neonates perspective are awful. Figured out the firmware and ran into the wall that is the Z offset. Oh man! I didn’t get too frustrated because I accepted it was beyond me at that point so I walked away for the evening. In my trouble shooting research I actually saw a thread that mentioned the Marlin Z Offset Wizzard but crawling then walking came to mind. I might give that a shot as I patiently await your Z Offset solution. I appreciate your work and I’ll compensate your time through purchases through your sites etc.

I'm glad to see more competition of bed leveling sensors that aren't just copies of the BL Touch. I went with BL touch to support them though. If I need a sensor on a new printer I'll certainly consider the CR Touch.
Great video. I bought an E3V2 really early on and attempted to put a BLTouch on it right away. Fighting with firmware and not wanting to compile my own, I abandoned it. I struggled with manual bed leveling for too long and some nozzle clogs. Then my E3V2 became a nice dust collector for nearly a year. Anyway, this video inspired me to put a little effort back into getting it up and running. Bought the CRTouch, reverted from a direct drive modification and went back to a stock setup with this ABL sensor. I'm now printing really high quality prints again with ease and loving it. Thanks for the great video!
Download the Jyers marlin firmware for the E3v2. It's like getting a whole new printer. Makes it seem like a an E3v11.
@@TheTurbinator Your right! Night and day difference. My Ender 3 V2 prints beautifully now. Jyers really did an outstanding job.
First video coming from TikTok, great production value👍🏼 One of my new favorite printing channels out there.
That being said I told myself from the beginning to ‘learn the hard way’ and forget the bl-touch; wanting to master manually leveling the bed before buying one. I felt like I had, so I purchased the CR touch after watching this video and I’m glad I did. First layers are nearly perfect every time and it takes some of the worry out of starting a print and wondering if it’ll survive 😂 only issue I seem to have with mine is the rattle coming from the metal touch probe as it prints, but I’ll live with it for now
Thank you. I agree that is the best way to go. A Bed Level sensor is just a "nice to have" that supplements a good manual leveling. Supposedly they have updated the CR-Touch to deal with the rattle. My original one never really had that issue but I have one of the new ones too to see if it happens on the updated design. Just haven't had any time to mess with it yet.
Loved your fabrication content, glad I stumbled on this channel!
Thanks for being here! Fabrication content will be ramping back up more in the near future too!
I've seen a LOT of 3DP videos. I don't think I've ever seen this subscriber count (1.2k @ time of writing) and this quality of content.
I also don't think I've subbed after watching 1 short video from a channel. SUBBED
Great video, but I think the firmware story is everything. There's so much in the marlin firmware that makes life easier that Creality could ship if they could be bothered to put in the dev time. The marlin corners wizard, both in probe and non probe varieties is probably the most helpful thing I can think of that's missing, but it's been a while since I used Creality stock firmware.
0.04 accuracy is a full step of your z, you need a well sorted printer to benefit from less than that, and my experience of bl-touch and the better clones is they're mostly within one microstep and variance might be because the true reading is closer or further away from an exact step.
I really like the placement of the port on top. The metal probe is interesting and I like the general look.
I just bought this kit for $32. I got a SD card with all the instructions pre installed on it, and setting it up was very easy. All 3 brackets are also included!
Where from?

wich one? BL or CL?
hey! i was your 1K! Dope, i enjoy using your nuke and keg barrel design!
Thank you for carrying us over the line! And glad you like the designs. 👌🏻👍🏻
This is a pretty high quality video, you should have more than 739 subscribers.
Thank you very much. I'm plugging away at making more content, hopefully the subscribers catch out.
Well he is close to doubling that number now!
I’m running tiny machines firmware with my cr10s with the bl touch. If I went with the cr touch would I need to flash with the creality firmware or is it plug and play once one or the other is already in place?
Loved the video and your testing method, and have the BL and CR Touch and am thinking of installing the CR and giving it a try. There is one additional comment on the differences between the BL and CR which may be a deciding factor for someone using the CR Touch, i.e. it doesn't require a leveling screw. The biggest pain point I've had with the BL Touch is the probe randomly deciding to not drop, and using the adjustment screw is hit-and-miss. Also when cleaning or replacing the probe on the BL Touch the set screw needs to be recalibrated, so not having to worry about the set screw fine tuning is a bonus.
Just purchased in 2023 kit is the same... same issues I am having issues seeing up firmware and offset! Thanks for this review
Hey, very nice in depth review, you helped me decide to get a CR Touch instead of a BL Touch! Just one question, my CR Touch has a rattle, vibration noise, when my printer moves the print assembly in the X axis. I tracked it down to the actual probe metal tip, if I just touch it stops rattling against the plastic body. Have you had any level of rattling noise on your tests?
Nice video bro. Fast, Short and direct. Keep the same way to teach. Thanks.
So glad i discovered your Chanel
Thanks for all the detail. The part about “z axis offset” really helped me. I didn’t know what this meant. I installed my CR Touch and got usable firmware that works with my touchscreen on my Ender 3 but I had almost no success with it, I suspect because I didn’t do the z axis offset. I’ll retry my CR Touch with this info.
Thank you sir for this. Question for you, are you using Repetier Host, OctoPrint, or something else while running these tests and bed leveling?
Hi, I have the CR Touch and I'm finding that the test squares at the back are showing signs that they are a little too far away from the bed. However all other squares around the bed are perfect, when looking through a magnifier. Any suggestions welcome.
great video. with my ender 3 the correction works the wrong way round. do you have a solution for that? that would be great
just found your channel, gotta say, I like your style. Good focus on detail, but kept it moving. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
how do you make those bed visualizations? For years I've been looking at the raw data like matrix code & my bed a 22" round, so its a lot a data
So I had the same issue with the CR touch install process with the provided instructions. MY board is the 4.2.2, is there a recommended firmware to use for this?
Salut de France ! Thank you very much for your very accurate video for the installation of the CR Touch on a 3V1 Ender in 4.2.7. The provision of the firmware in 1.1.2 helped me well because the official on the website of Creality is a horror. Thanks again a lot, my old and faithful Ender 3 wonderfully walking!
Is there any chance you could compile the firmware for the 4.2.2 board? I have had nothing but trouble with any of the creality releases and tried doing it myself with 0 luck as well. TIA!
Firstly thank you for confirming that it's a straight swap with the BL. Something that amuses me is how many install videos feed the big end into the board and mention the difficulty, but when I installed the BL I ran the small end out the other way and it was easy
Found your video most helpful.
I have just bought myself a CR Touch for my Ender 3. When I went to download the firmware I was completely lost and ended up reaching out to Creality for help. The file they sent me is for Marlin 1.1.2 2020-04-25. My mainboard is 4.2.2. Although it does operate the CR I am having a lot of problems with setting up the Z offset. It certainly does not contain the auto wizard you mention. So I was wondering if you could recommend a different file to download?
One of the issues I have is after doing the bed leveling, the screen shows an error saying "Err To Far away" or something along those lines. So Im guessing that it is setting the z height to high as anything I try to print, the first layer doesnot stick to the board. I was hoping to figure out how to get the wizard you mentioned see if it helps with more accuracy.
Thanks for the video.
I give up on using a feeler gauge or paper. Doing it for nearly four years, enough is enough. Time for ABL thank you for the most useful and above all helpful tutorial.
You should probably have shared the standard deviation for the m48, the average is good, but a repeatability once of 0 and once of 0.002 would average out to 0.001.
This is how a review should be done!
Creality has a newer updated firmware on there site now for the cr touch. It seems to be a more up to date version of Marlin with way more features. I tried cfw but it didn't let me adjust the z offset at all. The only issue I have with creality's firmware is that I can't adjust the z offset with baby stepping.
If you plug into the printer, you can send a specific z-offset, if you need something in between. I have never needed more resolution myself. The gcode is M851.
So if you need a z-probe offset of -2.521 you send 'M851 Z-2.521'
Well the CR Touch has two things I like about it that I didn't like about the original: the flimsy probe is gone and it doesn't look god awful anymore. The flickering led inside the white chassis just really looked out of place on any of my 3D printers/
I didn't like the lights because I have a camera with octoprint and it just lights up the whole frame - very distracting.
gettin one soon because of this review
Really enjoy your videos bit off topic Do u have tpu profiles for ender3v2 that you use ? Tks for listening.
Thank you, one question solved in this video.
I have another question - Can I attach v2 motherboard inside the older CR 10S pro?
Hi just watched your video very good info. I am just wondering can it be used on the CR-X model ? Also do you have a video on how to use it. Thanks
Awesome video! Can you link me to the stl for the bottom left covers. I haven't been able to find a decent that fits good. tks!
good video. seems a very fair comparison and rating. First time viewer of your channel. I have a BL Touch on an Ender 3 Pro that seems to be flaky every now and again. just stopping during a pre-print check and definitely stopping infrequently when doing a full bed level. Seems to have been fixed by putting a zip tie around the BL Touch just above the connector holding the cable to the body. seems like it might be a bad connection when the hot end is moving around and the cable would move. Thinking about replacing, and may do a CR Touch instead of another BL touch.
Hey there, would this work plug and play on my Longer LK5 Pro?
Thank you for the video
I opted for the CR Touch mostly because of the probe sturdiness and I liked the look. I found it difficult to install the cable and had to take it off my 3d printer in order to plug the cable in. Also, on the cable I received the blue and red wires were swapped though luckily they were swapped on both ends so it did not affect the operation. It works well though the mesh is not centered on the build plate. Probably because after I installed the Micro Swiss Direct drive, the nozzle homes off the build plate now.
I am running a Creality CR-X printer and it has a BL-Touch currently installed on it the main board is the creality v2.1.1 and due to mishap I had I am replacing that board with a Creality v2.2 board since the BL-Touch was operating fine, do you think the CR -Touch will work it can be mounted in the same location which is on the right side of the hotend and I still will have to get the correct firmware and because of what you mentioned I am a little leary I really like the aspect of the metal probe instead of the plastic one. In subsequent Bed levelings I get a difference that I feel falls out side of the range so am looking for a better way or product
I bought a cheap knock off BL touch and kept having issues with it dropping the probe when the nozzle went to do the prime at the edge. So I bought a genuine BL touch and it did the same thing. When I updated Cura the problem went away. Neither ABL sensors have any issues now. I don't know about accuracy, but the $24 cheaper works just fine.
I've ran an Ender 3v2 and now a CR10v3 with the BL and CR touches and I haven't ever seen the benefits of either. Am I wrong in thinking it should act as a compensation for a warped bed? For example, I've got a Snapmaker Original and there's no way to level the bed itself, but you go through and adjust the four corners. Granted, the bed is a 4" square, but you adjust the corners and the machine compensates for any high or low spots on the bed... Am I wrong in thinking the BL and CR's should do the same, essentially? Or am I doing something wrong? Cause it's super frustrating when you've got a warped bed and no way to print anything outside of the middle few inches of a 12" build plate.
Great video. Definitely worth a sub :)
So it works with the Merlin wizard or do I have to use the creality one? And if so then good but how do I upload the Merlin program onto the printer itself because that is something I need to know as I haven’t done this at all. Also can I just change the code to enable the settings in merlin by just clicking it and so on? I’m not great with code
I got a bl touch sensor for my ender 5 pro but I can't seem to figure it out. All the forums I go to say to adjust Z offset but it's nowhere in my settings
Quality work here.
I like my CR Touch. However, my PiCam is mounted the the box covering the gantry stepper motor and the CR Touch is big enough that it hits the PiCam bracket before the limit switch... that was the only problem I had. I just relocated the camera. Haven't had any issues with the CR Touch.
i am planning to install bltoch or CR touch on ender 3 v2 with a v4.2.2 board running klipper FW. do you have any recommendation for me to choose CRtouch or bltouch.
I bought the CR touch because of this video! Works great after I worked through the nightmare that was the z offset. The directions were..... not good. You should do a video on calibrating it:-) I'm excited for the ender 3 v2 display to be natively supported by Marlin. Might get to use that magically Z Offset Wizard you speak of.
I started working on a Z Offset video today after quite a few folks asking.
@@MandicReally video released?

Link to the video? Please. My S1 will be in Thursday. I'm starting from nothing. Lol. Can't find anyone local that does this yet.
@@MandicReally Any update on this release of the video?
Will this work on a CR-X Pro?
I have been having trouble with the BL touch and stopped using the printer entirely because of it.
man i really like the tunnel u have in yo ears :D interesting position ngl als great vid, i have my ender 3 pro for 3 yrs now and barely used it after a while, currently im getting back into and getting some upgrades. even tho i probably wont get autoleveling since my printer is still almost full stock, i have alot of other stuff to upgrade :D
Can you put the firmware they sent you back in the description? The current firmware on their website doesn't work for me. I can't go below 0 on Z offset.
Where is the info on setting the Z axis? Thanks. Great video
Great video Alan,
Is there a way to apply the print bed map back so the first print layer is optimised?
A properly configured firmware should automatically do that if you run a G29 command before each print. The instructions with the CR Touch tell you to set that up in your slicer. Or if you don’t want to run a level every single print (I recommend it tho) you can run a M420 S1 command to used the last saved mesh data. Then you’d have to manually run the Level procedure from time to time to update that.
Great video!! Was awesome to follow along and ensure I was doing things the correct way. But, after installing the CR touch, it now just keeps saying, homing failed.. Anyone with ideas, please help!!
How dose the metal tip react to magnetic flex plates?
Do you also have an affiliate link for the CR Touch on Amazon? Creality somehow takes 30 days to ship to The Netherlands...
Old versions of bltouch used to come with metal probe. But they moved to plastic as the metal in the probe would expand and measure longer in heated situations
I have a 3dtouch, the oin looks like metal, but its not, well its plastic with a metal cover...i think thats its was yuo saw
OK, I"m pretty new. I mean I have printed some pretty complicated car parts I designed in Fusion 360, but I am still really new to 3D printing... SO, you mentioned being able to factor in bed warp (after you did some probe test with some software..h ahhah I said I was new)... Do you have a video explaining how this is done AND is there an auto bed leveler for the CR10-5S ? As my parts are too large to print on any other printer and I have a CR10-5S ???
Is cr touch compatible with cr-10s pro?
thanks, i got a couple old a8 plus's i'm about to retrofit and think this would be a good addition to the design
Great video, Thanks!
Is a breeze to fit it to a SKR board too, same 5 wires as BL-Touch.
do you have a pin out based on the color of the cable for the CR Touch. i would like to use the CR touch with a different board.
Very nice video, an informative and comprehensive comparison. Sub'd the moment I saw your Vegan Power tshirt too ;) Keep up the great work bro
New here. How can it tell if I have a 4.2 board? I bought my ender3 about a year ago and only bused it 4 times
Is the firmware and manual situation better now in Dec 2023?
Is the CR touch compatible with the CR 10 V2?
You said both your machines are 4.2.2 but the firmware they sent you was 4.2.7 only …. A bit confusing. Do you have the compiled marlin software available at all?
Mine is rattling like crazy. I read somewhere there is a screw on the inside you can tighten to stop the rattle is that correct?
Best video totally sold me on it I am putting it on a Promega creality core-z I'm working on
Currently in the process of installing a bl on my ender 3v2 and the firmware isn’t working. I have the 4.2.2 board with out the adapter. Any recommendations?
What do you mean by “Firmware isn’t working”? Does it not have Auto Bed Leveling features in the firmware? Firmware went to black screen and won’t boot? The sensor isn’t functioning properly? Sorry I need more info to be of any help.
I just put the direct drive upgrade on my Ender 3. I'm assuming the CR Touch fits just the same?
Does this work with the ender 3 v2? Maybe you said it in the video, but I didn't hear it.
Bl Touch or CR Touch uses the same firmware?
I have an Creality Sermoon D1 and as the bltouch firmware is now online I would like to know if I can buy a CR-Touch or I must have to buy the BL-Touch
Thank you for this excellent breakdown. I just replaced my original Ender 3 V1.1.4 board with a V4.2.7 and am working on setting up a CR Touch for the first time. As of Sept. 2022, it appears that the "2020-04-25" BLTouch Merlin firmware is still the most current copy. My only big complaint about Creality is exactly as you described. Their instructions and repositories are a complete mess. Every new Creality accessory I buy sends me to a different URL that is usually a dead link or entirely foreign (Chinese) page.
I am very thankful for channels like this one that understand how to communicate information targeted toward the consumer/hobbyist instead of engineers/professionals.
Even though I'll be done with this project today, I'd still like to request a video on tuning Z-Offsets in this scenario as you mentioned. It would be extremely helpful to people like me who don't tend to mess around in the controls/firmware very often because of how much niche and conflicting information is out there. I think people will be making these upgrades on the Ender 3 series for many years to come and your presentation style for this would be incredibly helpful and appreciated! Thanks again for your effort and sharing your wisdom with the rest of us!
i have the ender 3 v2 and i tried to get the CR touch to work for over 10 hours to no avail. i have the 4.2.2 board and thought i had the right firmware but i still havnt gotten it to work.
Where is the download you used as it's not listed in the description. Please and thank you kindly
been a couple years, still isnt clear: do i remove the Z axis stopper or not? some say yes, some manuals say no. troubleshooting this install is tricky.
Does this only work with Creality-provided firmware and boards, or can we use it with BL-Touch enabled Marlin firmware on an SKR Mini E3 v2?
Despite them being entirely different sensors the Firmware views them the same way. So yes you can use it with a BTT Board and just configure Marlin as if it was a BL Touch. That is how I compiled my own firmware for the 4.2.2 board. I haven't installed it on my machine with the SKR Mini E3 in it, but the Firmware should not care at all and the port wiring is the same.
@@MandicReally that means that you can simply replace the bl-touch with the cr touch? too lazy to open up my printer now. and i do want to replace my bl touch as the stick got warped due to a non sticking print...
@@PtR-ec1wz you should be able to, yes. I’ve done it a couple times. On my Elegoo Neptune 2 it didn’t work, for no reason I can discern. But everywhere else I’ve tried it’s been fine. (Creality and BTT boards.
So, which Marlin firmware for a CR Touch and a 4.2.2 board? Link? I'll even take the Creality firmware for the CR Touch to start. Thank you!
Alway use the last Marlin , just download, change it to yuor own options , compile(vs code),and run
Mine came with a SD card. Here in March of 2022. Is there pre loaded with the firmware?
Pre production? I got mine a couple of weeks before this video from Amazon for a few bucks cheaper than the bl touch ($34). I fed the lead through the loom from the pcb side, it’s easy. I downloaded and installed the Jyers firmware and totally recommend it.
Good review!
What did you put it on ender3?
Please test the BLtouch while turning hotend and bed heating on and off. I've had that significantly influence 3D-touch results, I think because of the current spikes causing EM pulses throwing off the Hall sensor. The original BLtouch might be "tuned" to better avoid this, but gimme an optical sensor over a Hall sensor any day ...
Is there more data on this topic?
My BL Touch just bent its pin for the second time and is now failing. Thanks for your video I'm getting the CR-Touch now.
Will this work for the ender five???
what method did you use to compute the accuracy numbers of 0.001....?
after flashing my ender 4 when i wanted to use the auto home feature it said auto home failed pront halted reset and now cant do anything
any sugestions
Follow you on TikTok and love your work.
can this be used on other printers other than Creality? I ask because i have one on the S1 Plus and it is great BUT i don't see myself dismantling just to test :)
how would you compare the crtouch to the EZabl
HI MandicReally nice comparison, love the fact you opened it up, on a side note have you shared the e3d mount for the replicator anywhere ? :)
Thank you. I haven’t released that design yet as I haven’t completed my build. I don’t release designs until I’m satisfied they are ready. I will absolutely do so when I’m ready. I really need to build that machine and get it running, so sooner than later I hope. I’ll definitely post videos and announce when it is released. 👌🏻
@@MandicReally cool will keep a lookout :)
