    My printer was printing very well with my BLTouch and yellow springs but the EzABL Pro and solid spacers made it so consistent that I can print completely remote and have great results every time. Well worth the money to not worry about spring movement or a pin malfunction. Thanks again Tim and team for all your hard work and helping to make this industry better 😎 🇺🇸

    Another successful installation! Tim, your tutorials for your EZ products, VSCode, and all of your efforts on the unified 2 firmware make these installations soooo much easier. I was really dreading the new VSCode interface (and of the time I'd have to spend wrestling, googling, searching forums, and learning) but you made it the easiest part!

    Very nice addition to your video guides. The EZABL sensor is a pretty simple install with the printed directions but this would definitely help if you haven't installed an ABL sensor before. I recently bought a CR-10 S4 and decided to go all in on TH3D. I got the EZABL Pro, the OEM sensor mount, solid bed mounts, a Meanwell PS, and the PTFE upgrade pack. They were all easy to install and work great. The Unified 2 firmware for the CR-10 S4 was easy to configure and install and I had everything up and printing beautifully in a day. Thanks for all the support you provide to the 3d printing community.

    The EZABL Pro is the first thing I bought for my first 3D printer because of Edge of Tech's video. Thinking I might have chosen wrong because I was a noob and the BLTouch is so popular, I bought a BLTouch for my second and third printers. After several months the EZABL was the best choice for me, as I've had nothing but trouble from both my BLTouches. I'm in the process of replacing them both with EZABLs, and fitting my new Ender 6 with one too. The EZABL is 50% more than an BLTouch, but it's 1000% more reliable, fast, and accurate for me. My only complaint is the white power wire for hardwired installation. 😅

    AWESOME video! I just got an EZAble Pro for my Ender 5 Plus to replace the BLTouch, so I am hoping this installation goes as smooth for me. I am also very probably going to install the solid bed mount kit because I *hate* dealing with manual bed leveling and the springs - it has always been a problem for me to get this right. It looks like TH3D products are going to make my 3D printing life much more enjoyable!

    I was emailing with a gentleman named Peter. When I get to the 23:48 mark in this video, my Z is showing OPEN when it should be showing TRIGGERED, the red LED is light on for both the probe and in the control box. I moved the set screw to shut the red LEDs off, and it still reads open. I flipped the switch in the EZABL control box, and nothing changes. He had me return my EZABL Pro, along with the control box. He sent it back to me, along with an email saying everything was working normally. I put it back into my E5+, and I'm right back to where I was before. There have been some delays in my communications, because I am having some very serious legal issues, and did not have time to mess with my printer. The way things are looking for me with this printer, is it seems like it has bricked on me. I'm at a complete loss here.

  • @KennethScharf
    @KennethScharf 2 года назад

    Is this an inductive or capacitive sensor? Is there any performance difference between the 3 sizes of probes? Can I use the small (8mm) one with my Ender-3?
    I assume that the power input to the box on the screw terminals can handle 24vdc, but is the input jack for a lower voltage?
    The Ender V4.2.x control board has a connector for a BLtouch. Can this be used for the output of the probe instead of the ZMIN connector (with software changes to Marlin)? This would allow BOTH the ZMIN switch and the probe to be used. The probe triggers BEFORE the nozzle hits the bed, while the ZMIN switch hits WHEN the nozzle bottoms out (if everything is adjusted correctly!). Thus the ZMIN switch becomes a failsafe to protect the bed and the hot end, while the probe performs the auto bed tramming.
    Support page doesn't seem to have any .STL for the mounting bracket on an Ender -3 or Ender-3 PRO.

    • @TH3DStudio
      @TH3DStudio  2 года назад

      This is a high performance capacitive type that we had made for 3D printer application. The performance of all the sizes is the same.
      You can use a dual setup with the endstop switch and the probe but our support would not cover setting that up since it is not our recommended setup but all our source code for the firmware is available so you can modify it as you see fit for your machine setup. Nozzle crashes are a possibility but they are very rare with our sensors as their failure rate is very low.

    This doesn't make sense. After setting the sensor height, you tell us to raise Z by 2mm. So, if the sensor is supposed to be 2mm higher than the tip of the nozzle, and we raise Z by 2mm in this step, somehow the sensor is supposed to go off when it's 4mm above the bed?

      We do not have any firmware right now for the i3 mega and that one will need its LCD swapped due to the proprietary LCD they chose to use.

      Yes it will, but it is recommended to also upgrade the LCD: support.th3dstudio.com/hc/guides/upgrades-printer-information/ender-3-v2-swapping-to-the-12864-creality-lcd-for-more-features/
