This is easily the best tutorial video I've ever seen on RUclips. No bs, no goofy intro, no egomania. Just a clear and precise instruction and presentation. You got my sub.
Yesss. I was getting so mad at the videos while trying to find the solution. I don't need a 30-second intro and 3 minutes of your background, just get me to the answer.
Small correction: When auto-homing, the _probe_ moves to the center of the bed, not the _nozzle_ . Clarifying, just in case someone thinks there's something wrong with their setup (there isn't).
I literally did that!!! I’ve been at it with a level and an angle ruler, and all of a sudden my printer is out of whack😂 thank you so much, saved me hours of obsessing
@@BV3D I know this is like 2 years old but, gosh it's so refreshing to see someone supportive and okay with a commentor making a correction, or catching something that the person may have missed. It sounds like it should be common practice to do so, but people can really be antsy about that sort of thing.
On Amazon I found a nylon/plastic cover for wires. It is split and flexed so you can slide the wires and it wraps around the cables without having to fish the wire down a enclosed wire protector. Thank for the excellent advice.
Hey! I'm a maker in San Antonio and just got an Ender 3 v2. Watched all your videos to get mine set up. Yours were the best. I was delighted to see you are in the same town. Congrats on the growth of your channel. Very effective. Thank you!
Hey Bud, Im in Bulverde like 15 min north of SA 281/1604, I know I noticed his UT coaster in the video but saw it displays as San Antonio! w00t w00t. Do you know any place locally at has 3d print gear, like filaments, etc..?
Hi Brandon! I realize this is nearly a year late, but THANK YOU very much! RUclips rolled out this Applaud feature (now called Super Thanks) but, until very recently, didn't give creators an easy way to find them. Now they have, and I wanted to say I am grateful for your support!
I just recently found you while looking for help after purchasing my first 3D printer. Your information and the way you deliver it just resonates with me. Keep up the great content, it's much appreciated!
This is the definitive tutorial for the BLTouch on the E3V2. Nice work, Bryan! I've installed mine a couple of hours ago and your tip for setting the Z offset saved me. I'm using Jyers' Marlin and it makes this a little easier too.
I rarely ever comment on videos, but wanted to thank you for the detailed instructions. You really helped me a lot! I had almost given up but your content helped me see the bright side to this.
You're an amazing instructor for all of us that are new to 3D printing. Your videos on the Ender 3 v2 have been invaluable as I continue to troubleshoot my setup and hopefully find good print settings.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I bought a used ender 3 v2 not knowing the bltouch didn't fit.... found out when I tried updating the software and almost gave up on it... Now it works. 🙂
This has to be the best explanation Iv come across, Iv almost thrown the printer out the window not being able to understand what z-offset meant. Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, worked perfectly. Been messing around for ages with no BLTouch, so decided to give it a go. Instructions were useless, this video sorted it out and my first print is going perfectly. Nice one Bryan!!
Thanks Bryan, I've been struggling with this for a week & you've finally shown me the way forward to get it working properly. I thought it was me missing something ...
Hi Bryan, I assembled my first 3d printer Ender 3 v2 with your video and now i am gonna install my BLTouch.Thank you for these simple and well explained videos.
Hi Bryan. I just got a BL Touch for my Ender 3 V2 and your video will be extremely helpful. I really appreciate your style as it reminds me of shows like My Classic Car or DIY home repair shows I grew up watching with my dad. I have found few channels on RUclips as informative as yours. Keep up the great content!
I've had to contact Creality because I also have a early version of the Ender 3V2 and they did send me a new extruder carriage, it took around 3 months but I've finally got it today. Thanks for the great video Brian!
Thanks Brian! Just upgraded my V2 with the BL touch and encountered the "Black screen of death" at the firmware update stage...and your suggestion helped! Excited for my future prints!
This definitely solved my problem. Creality has so many firmware versions for the same printer, I made sure I used the same version as you (even though it's probably not the latest) and all was good , unlike other instructions (including Crealities) that couldn't be followed.
One trick I use is a deck of cards. I when go to set off my Z offset, I use the cards to help me measure the gap at the start and then figure out what my adjustment needs to be.
@@mykehdoom Sure, when I first did my z offset it was hard to measure the distance from the tip to the be, so I took a pack of playing cards and put as many as i could under the hot end tip. I then measure the cards with a calipers to see how much I have to move the z offset, once I get it to less than a millimeter, I make the finer adjustments. I found it saved time when you are starting out to get your z offset. Hope that helps.
Those instructions included were terrible your video was the ONLY useful advice I could get on getting this setup properly!! Definitely agree with all the vendor advice too!
Inserting the BLTouch wire in the wire sleeve is easy. The sleeve is very flexible you can just compress it on one side making the wire travel shorter.
Thank you once again Bryan. Your tutorials are to the point, no BS and are a good middle ground between expecting the viewer to know a little, but not being a genius either.
The z-offset for mine was also exactly 2.70. Since fitting the BLTouch I've removed the levelling springs and dials and fitted metal stand-offs with normal nuts. I let the software handle any levelling and it works great.
Thank you! I followed the firmware update and this video and I've now got a happily function ender 3 v2. I think my bed was warped so this seems to have really done the trick! Excellent videos!
This was very helpful. You gave a high amount of detail, which is very useful for those planning to do this mod ahead of time and nervous about unexpected surprises. This made me more confident about how it will go when my parts arrive. Thank you.
I want to tell you that this was the video I needed to see. As it is with computers and networking, we have to read 15 things to find enough info to resolve our problem. I was two days watching and reading, with so much info left out and your video hit the spot entirely. I finally was able to get something to print. Thanks for the informative video.
I just bought a 3 v2 and I'm thinking about getting this. When using the bltouch do you still need to manually level the bed, or do you only manually level if it's really off?
@@agardell1 When I installed it for the first time I did a rough manual level, and then had the bltouch do its thing. Not had a problem with it since. If you've got an octoprint server you can get a bed levelling visualiser which will show you how close to/far off you are from having it manually level. You can really home it in!
Howdy from Houston, Thanks a bunch for this vid, I just got my ender 3 v2 about a week ago and afrer printing a bunch of stuff i had my first mishap. I fell asleep after starting a print and woke up to find my hotend entombed in a plastic coffin... off to amazon and I now have a new bltouch an all metal hotend and a all metal extruder. this vid was instrumental in getting the bltouch dialed in fast. my Z offset ended up being -2.37.
The protective plastic mesh tube is easy to deal with. A little trick: grab 2 ends of it and push them together, like a chinese finger trap toy, the tube will get shorter in length and larger in diameter allowing you to easily push the wire through it. When you're done, just stretch it back out into place.
Howdy Friend. I kept getting hyper-fixed on your UT longhorn coaster on the bottom left of the screen. Lol. I also realized about half way into me typing this that some content creators might enjoy some anonymity so no need to reply if ya choose but a big HELLO from Bulverde, TX! :) I had gotten tired with trying to go with offshoots like (A8, Aquila X2, etc) and always run into issues with ability to either upgrade or mod even though they are basically aestheticlly similar however the internals are divergent tech which for instance adds in st links, soldering, and a whole slew of things not to mention the passionate yet low populations of these communities that help make marlin and a few others finally accessible. So I just got a new Ender 3 v2 on a amazon lighting deal and was able to get a CR Touch along with their new Sprite Direct Drive for literally about $150 less than the S1. And deciding to have some background help with the install I have seen many of your videos and its was an easy selection. So thank you for your hardwork and pro-level content.
I know this is a 5 month old video but I just purchased and updated to the BLTouch. Was very easy because of this video. Thank you. You have probably figured this out but in the video you mentioned that you don't know why it raises the head 10mm after auto-home. I think that is so that if you shut off the printer, there is enough room for the probe auto-test when you power it back up. Also, don't know if the Creality firmware is now saving the setting on-board but I am using the firmware from the Marlin site and it does save the settings to the board.
Bryan, you make my day with great tips for z-offset configuration, I was struggling with the poor printing quality, now, after your tips, my Ender 3 w/ BLTouch is printing like a charm. Thx!
PROBLEM - NEED HELP. great video. I’ve installed as per video on a E3V2 with 4.2.2 board and BLtouch kit like yours from creality. When I auto home the Z axis does not move it just stays at the same height and fires the pin up and down a few times. When I look in the settings it says that Z height is at 0. (Despite it being 50mm off the bed. Please help. It’s driving me nuts.
Thankyou SOOOO much!!! BTW, if anyone has a bad firmware flash, Turn off the printer. Reinstall the original stock firmware. Repeat the the process of the upgrade, but with the stock firmware, and then retry the new firmware. I thought I had bricked it, but all turned out well.
thank you so much for making this highly detailed video of what was becoming a headache to understand. you sir, became my Excedrin and got rid of my headache.
I know I am way behind the times, but I am just getting to this stage of my 3D printing journey. This tutorial was great and very helpful, so thank you for the detail and information you put into the videos. I am having a heck of a time getting this printer zeroed now. I have leveled the printer, the bed, and have followed the instructions in this video an on the internet in general. Every time I adjust the z-offset and home it does not seem to help. Also the 10mm offest at the end of the autohome is additive onto the negative offset I give the printer. The firmware was just updated as well so I can use the BL Touch. I know this video was quite some time ago, so I don't know if anyone will read this, but If you've run into this and found a solution please let me know. Thank you!
Thanks very much for this brilliant video. I followed your instructions to the letter..... Except, I actually found it really easy to feed the BL-Touch cable inside the sleeving all the way from the Motherboard to the hot end you only have to snip a few cable ties and replace them afterwards. This makes a very neat looking installation.
wow thank you so much!!! I had a simple error of me not putting it into a zip file and it finally worked after I saw you mention that! Thank YOUUUU!!!!
Great video, I think it has the opposite effect on me than what creality would hope for though. This helped me decide that the BLtouch isn't for me. I do have the warped glass plate that the enders are apparently known for, but rather than buy the leveling system and go through the setup and install, I've just decided to buy replacement plates that are known to be much flatter and I'm getting two of them for half the price of the BLtouch without having to deal with a firmware update, guess-and-check z-offset (or offest) and more moving parts with potential for failure. Thanks for the thorough and honest review.
Thanks for the video... I have the Ender 3 Max and hard to find instructions and your video really helped walk me through the installation. All I had to do prior is print the Ender 3 ma bracket and purchase a screw set.
@@loki4171 yes, i had some issues at the start but its been working great since. my #1 tip is to make sure your bed is pretty level (not perfectly but nothing too extreme)
I received an older bltouch which doesn't have the single connector but 2 connectors for power and z-stop. Just fyi for anyone having the same problem, voltage and ground MUST be switched on the power connector and the z-stop connector has to be shoved in right next to the power on the BL_T pins, little modification required. You cant plug the z-stop on the bl touch to the z-stop pins or else your z axis will not go down is has to go on the BL_T pins.
Thank you sir for your video! This checks off a lot of boxes for me. Well made, easy to follow. I subscribed shortly after the video started. I do have a question though... @13:45 When you printed your squares to test, it looked like there was something on the base. It looked transparent and thin, and smaller dimensions than the base table itself. What is it? And please note that I have not even printed anything yet. I spent the last week adjusting, checking, then installing the BLTouch, and watching videos like this to get a better understanding. Thanks again! {liked.subscribed.saved=True}
Im thinking in buying one of these... thanks for the video!!... hey, may I ask if it is normal for the back left knob below the bed to be basically stuck? is super hard compared to th other 3.
The back left corner is the one with the cable strain relief, and that's kind of held in place by the spring in that corner. So there's more compression on that spring than on the other ones. If that corner is tightened all the way down to where the spring is fully compressed, you might need to raise the Z axis limit switch up by a millimeter or two, then re-level the bed. Or, if everything is working fine, it's probably OK to leave it as-is. :) No sense fixing it if it's working.
Considering that it takes me 30-45 mins to level my bed every time.. 2 mins is fine. I threaded the BL Touch's wire through the tubing with some old wire as a hook. Looks like a factory install. Thanks for the tip!
Because I couldn't find the answer and in case anyone else has the launch E3V2 without the mounting holes for the bracket, I emailed Creality and they are sending me a replacement backboard (their term) in the mail, free shipping.
This is easily the best tutorial video I've ever seen on RUclips. No bs, no goofy intro, no egomania. Just a clear and precise instruction and presentation. You got my sub.
I agree. Bryan gets to the point and explains it perfectly.
No need for BS.. all the sassiness got left on the shirt. no way to top that shirt.
yeah this guy fucks. he def helped me get mine isntalled because hte provided instructions sucked!!
Yesss. I was getting so mad at the videos while trying to find the solution. I don't need a 30-second intro and 3 minutes of your background, just get me to the answer.
Couldn´t agree more.

Do u have same model? Ender 3 v2? U managed to print successfully using Bltouch sensor? If so can u kindly help me out? U have telegram or discord?
@@loki4171 yes, i had some issues at the start but its been working great since. my #1 tip is to make sure your bed is pretty level (not perfectly but nothing too extreme)
@@bravoyab9634 i managed to make it work turned out that the arm was not properly aligned
@@loki4171 oh okay good. glad to hear its going smoothly
champion... this vid saved me heaps of frustraion.. got my sub mate.
I received an older bltouch which doesn't have the single connector but 2 connectors for power and z-stop. Just fyi for anyone having the same problem, voltage and ground MUST be switched on the power connector and the z-stop connector has to be shoved in right next to the power on the BL_T pins, little modification required. You cant plug the z-stop on the bl touch to the z-stop pins or else your z axis will not go down is has to go on the BL_T pins.
This is a good video, as someone new to this it was really helpful.
Good info! I watched your video before I started the install and didn't even unfold the directions.
Hi Tim, that's awesome! I'm glad this was helpful! 👍
Could you do a combi of the JyresUI / Firmware with the BLTouch. I ran into some problems, what I am doing wrong.
Life saver! I was going insane trying to figure out why my printer always forgot the z offset
Thank you sir for your video! This checks off a lot of boxes for me. Well made, easy to follow. I subscribed shortly after the video started. I do have a question though... @13:45 When you printed your squares to test, it looked like there was something on the base. It looked transparent and thin, and smaller dimensions than the base table itself. What is it? And please note that I have not even printed anything yet. I spent the last week adjusting, checking, then installing the BLTouch, and watching videos like this to get a better understanding. Thanks again! {liked.subscribed.saved=True}
You are great at this!
you have been so helpful amazing man
you got rid of my huge headache thank you :)
Awesome t-shirt where can i buy it? great video as well
It's from TeeTurtle! Here's a link to it. www.teeturtle.com/products/coffee-before-questions?variant=19577791459522
Decided to pick one up. Definitely gonna follow your guide.
Awesome video. Helped me a lot. Looks like your nozzle may have hit your glass bed as well. I thought I was the only one to have that happen...
Thank you!! bought a printer off facebook and thought it was broke when i tried printing but he didn’t set up his BLTouch correctly
Im thinking in buying one of these... thanks for the video!!... hey, may I ask if it is normal for the back left knob below the bed to be basically stuck? is super hard compared to th other 3.
The back left corner is the one with the cable strain relief, and that's kind of held in place by the spring in that corner. So there's more compression on that spring than on the other ones. If that corner is tightened all the way down to where the spring is fully compressed, you might need to raise the Z axis limit switch up by a millimeter or two, then re-level the bed. Or, if everything is working fine, it's probably OK to leave it as-is. :) No sense fixing it if it's working.
@@BV3D Thanks for the reply!... yeah, is working fine.. I re level the bed every after a few prints but was mostly curious. :P
Really appreciate your videos.
Considering that it takes me 30-45 mins to level my bed every time.. 2 mins is fine.
I threaded the BL Touch's wire through the tubing with some old wire as a hook. Looks like a factory install. Thanks for the tip!
your instructions are so much clear. thank you!
thanks as this helped me figure out some useful tips and tricks as i am new to 3d printing. Very valuable thanks !
Because I couldn't find the answer and in case anyone else has the launch E3V2 without the mounting holes for the bracket, I emailed Creality and they are sending me a replacement backboard (their term) in the mail, free shipping.
@BV3D: Bryan Vines Sir please make a video on cr touch.. As well please explain, can we use the cr touch probe with jyers ui..
(cr touch - ender 3 V2)
