Ender 3 Pro - Auto Bed Leveling Probe - CR Touch - Upgrade
Finally, I found a review that showed the actually bed levelling in action. Thanks! Great video.
You're a life saver, I could not for the life of me figure out how to use the CR touch and didn't know that the Z switch had to be removed. The instructions that come with the kit have some pretty bad translation issues and I couldn't figure out what or how to adjust the Z offset properly. Thank you so much for this video now I can get back to enjoying my hobby!
At last someone that makes useful videos without skipping vital parts
Had my 3d printer for 3 years now and can't believe I cheaped out on this! Such a hassle without auto bed leveling. In fact I can barely get a good print these days without 2 hours of constant effort.
Try to clean the printer's bed with alcohol before each new print. It helps me so much. Adhesion on a high level after that.
@@MrNushtaievwhat % is the alcohol you use?
@@ArcaneBricks 70% from Amazon works great
This is my ghost talking now - I killed myself watching you raise and lower the nozzle in the beginning… I knew at that point there was no reason left to live. Thank you.
I know this video is 8 months old, but for anyone watching this, move the bed clips so your CR touch or BL touch doesn’t use it as a data point to tram your bed.
I’m confused. I’ve done everything, but this doesn’t actually auto level anything. My knobs could be way off and bed completely crooked. I still have to level the bed with the knobs, right? So what does this actually do other than read the different levels at points around my bed?
it accounts for it while printing but generally it’s good to have the bed decently leveled with the knobs but since the cr touch accounts for it it will correct it while printing and u don’t have to always have a perfect level
@@nachoscottluna I'm assuming that's why a lot of people have those spacers, instead of springs when using ABL, yeah?
Question: Why did you change the 'Probe Z Offset', what difference does it make in the calibration process?
That’s my question as well
Somethings that was not mentioned here.
1. Make sure when you do the 9 point check all points are more or less the same as this will show your bed is level if not just keep adusting the 4 screws underneath till you get the reading the same which you will see on the main screen in the display which are X, Y, and the Z which changes as it moves up and down, mine are around 5.7 within .05 of each other.
2. Make sure you have the firmware that supports the CR Touch which is 2.0.6 and above.
How to check firmware for 3Pro?
@@defaultHDchannel 2 ways of checking the first is when you turn it on it shows the firmware and the date of it. The second way is to go into the settings and scroll down to "About printer" and it will show you same information.
Can you share the link to the firmware?
i bought an ender 3 pro a few days ago and put it together and it was working fine till i watched a few vids and realized that i had a small bump in the center of my bed, so all my corners would be level (i used the paper method) but then the nozzle would drag on the center of the bed and that was great to listen to, i just spent the past 50 minutes trying to relevel and im not doing that again so i just bought the auto level thanks for the great vid💀💀
same here, except I spent 2 weeks on this little shit
Or you could also get a glass bed that's perfectly flat.
You could also install firmware (free) that has manual mesh and tramming enabled. That will compensate for warped beds.
What firmware did you use?
Says it in the video 😂
@@m1u2j1o9 what time
1:51
I appreciate you going in depth on this but the video did not need to be THAT LONG
here is a tip... to not upgrade ur bed... flip the bed cover that comes with upside down.. on the fiberglass side... it's better than glass.
i did that and i had a print stick and when i tried to pull it off it took off the mesh and chipped the glass
I just set mine up to then look and see that I’m missing one of the bed screws to level the bed. Any recommendations on what I should do?
guess if you can build a desk top computer this look easy just make sure you have the right board installed
Thank you Low Orbit Flux
Watched, I swere all RUclips videos on this subject, yours more than once, and finally got the fix as what I call a passer by comment. (Firmware) Creality does not have the version HW for 4.2.2 for CR Touch, version 2.06. I found one that somewhat worked " Ender-3 Marlin2.06HW4.2.2BLTouchGD.bin" This worked but would not do any automatic MESH creation. Your version did... Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Any links or videos to upgrading firmware?
I'm about 20 minutes in but did I skip the part where you told us to drop some molly or something
No link in description for firmware.
I wasn't able to unplug the z-stopper from the motherboard because the seller hot glued it in, so here's to hoping it doesn't cause problems.
Did it?
@@VoidGecko Not as far as I can tell
Thank you so much you are live saver only you háve a correct manuál thx
do you have to level the bed before doing this
Yes you do, but it will be the last time
where do you get the damn firmware for this? how do you make it work? I have a marlin 4.2.2 board, I know how to install the hardware, I just need the step by step procedure on how to get this working with the board!!! Ugh, this is a pain to set up bad!
Thanks for the moral support. I'm in the same boat. Thankfully I have until Jan 31 to sort it out and still be able to return the printer, extruder upgrade, _and_ CR Touch upgrade back to Amazon if I can't get it to work.
I am in the same situation. So frustrating.
the video helped me a lot thank you, one thing. You have the plate upside down, turn it around. You can get hot by having the components facing down. They screw it on top to save themselves from making a front (usb and micro holes) but it is harmful for you. put it down and adapt those two holes to put the usb and micro. and print yourself a part to cover that fan. Thanks for your video!!!! It's incredible, they just turned the box around without worrying in the least about the plate and the heat. This can greatly shorten the life of your printer.
Hi, Can you drop a link for the firmware please. I can't get any to work however I have 4.2.7 board. TIA
so basically you only have to configure it once and then you are no longer required to turn the leveling knobs ever?
that's what I am wondering
Correct. It will automatically know when to raise and lower when spots are higher and lower on the bed.
Plus it will do its thing before every print so you get the best print every time.
@@chriswhite436 I finally did this. it encouraged me to work on my printer. lol. Found out I had an old board that doesn't have a 5 pin so I ended up getting the newer silent board 4.2.7. Then I have Pi that I don't use, ended up installing Klipper.. Big upgrade I would say, klipper made it a lot easier leveling the board by a ton! After I leveled everything using klipper, i no longer need to put any z offset when printing. It prints perfectly..
@@peekeesh awsome!!
you didnt show how to confirm those setting you said just to adjust it and only showed you moving the offset
What if your Z axis' can't go beyond 0.00? I've auto home with the CR touch and started to adjust as shown but I cannot go past that point with lowering past 0.00.
Great video. I went through these steps and now not able to print. I got a rough print yesterday without the level. Added it today and not able to print. It keeps canceling. Have gone through so many videos for hours and not sure why this is happening.
any updates Owen? Wish you luck
Could be software glitch try uninstalling it then reinstall
I have searched Creality's website and cannot find the firmware that you mentioned anywhere, the one that it shows to download with the Bed leveler is not the same you mentioned. Please help. Thanks
In the manual is says change G28 to G2829. What? How? But it shows G29 on the next line below G29. What is it?
In the slicer software you use (Cura, superslicer, prusa slicer) there are printer specific Gcode headers, you can edit this value in your slicer.
So your telling me if I get this I won’t have to level my bed anymore 😍
Yes but no
hi great video. my one is the same as yours but i dont ave bed level option on my one??
Need to buy the probe and install the firmware
@@LowOrbitFlux thanks for getting back to me. i have the probe but having a little trouble with the setup thanks again
@@LowOrbitFlux Whats the firmware
I noticed that your X belt is to loose..... And please, be careful not to crash the nozzle into the bed.
Would it work with the normal ender3
So how does this actually correct any bed level problems?
It records the Z height differences and programs that into the G code. So the nozzle raises and lowers as it moves across the bed according to the measurements taken by the CRtouch.
@@JeffJackson86 Thanks for the reply.
@@JeffJackson86 I thought about this every night. I can now sleep in peace, thank you.
@@JeffJackson86 would it then not be printed at an angle?
@@varvancy48 well no, consider we are talking .002... Differences. The key to a good first layer is getting it pretty close to the bed so it sticks, as the item starts building the differences disappear. There is a setting that helps the difference integrate gradually into the print so after 10 layers or so it doesn't move the Z screw when moving the x and y axis.
hey, how do i know if my bed is leveled correctly?
can you show the firmware you are using?
Provide the link please
thanks this was really helpful, i cant wait to get it and it will save me a lot of time and effort.
Bro made me look like a idiot lol
is this upgrade available for the Original Ender 3?
Yes
I have a question this does work for a normal Ender 3 correct?
I've only tried with the pro
Im so confused, how do you put the SD card in the PC? How do you put the info on the sd card?
SD to USB adapterr
Holy crap is your print head loose... and.... we didn't need 4 minutes of moving parts around on the desk.
Hello, I have a different board. Mine says it is the Creality3D V1.1.4 that came with the printer. It doesn't have the 5 pin connector for the bed leveler. What should I do? I don't have money to buy a new board.
Don't get a CR or BL touch then.
I know it's a bit late, but you're going to want to replace your board with the V4.2.7 silent board when you have the cash. There's also the bl touch 8bit kit.
the 8 bit kit requires soldering and even more hardware. Much easier to just spend the $40 and get the updated board. @@maskedtanuki6546
what annoying audio
Shut up
😂😂😂
Hating isn’t cool
I Have to First Upgrade the Motherboard Right?
That depends on what version of the board you have. v4.2.2 and 44.2.7 are 32 bit boards with the cr touch / bl touch port. Any other board will not work as easily. You CAN use the old 8 bit boards but you need more hardware and soldering skills. This is much easier with the updated board as they are just plug and play.
Мне кажется, голова хотэнда болтается ненормально, подтяните регулировочные гайки.
Honestly the worst 3D printer ive ever had! Had an flsun and that wasn't as frustrating as this crap
took ages ....even at double Speed
I start the video
I'm waiting on you to get to the point
You've said "um" or "uh" about 50 times per minute
I check the time bar to see when things pick up and realize it's a 30 minute video of this
Jesus Christ. Go find some resources on presenting to an audience ASAP.
Bruh you cant move the z step if you remove the cablet that early on wow what a goof
I set up my auto leveler exactly to how the video went but now get the error code of homing failed printer halted please reset. Any idea how to fix this?
What garbage you don't show any steps on where to go in the menus.
Ew. Why didn't you tuck the cable inside the handy dandy black sleeve? Zip tying it on the outside makes it look so ugly.
what firmware you are using and board?
