Please tell me this, can't you just replace the springs with something solid now that you have automatic bed leveling. Doesn't make sense to use springs and risk the bed shifting over time.

[@eventhorizon492]

Dude, I’ve been having problems with mine since install because all the tutorials wouldn’t explain what they were doing. Your a life-saver

[@andrewhofmann5453]

I just installed mine. I would recommend to viewers that you take the extra time to fish the data cable through the flexi-duct, it just adds that OEM feel.

[@danielschmidt1990]

Any good cable management just gets me off :P love it

[@bobbylim1971]

Yeah i did that. Was contemplating for 5 minutes if i should do that or not. End up doing it and it felt smart and clean. No regrets.

[@mve9924]

for the newbs....when you slide the duct back, it expands in size quite a bit

[@couryrussell7653]

I took your advice and definitely appreciate it!

[@H31MU7]

I read this comment after cable tying on the outside it the whole way down to the board... ...yeah, it does look way better fed through the duct.

[@shamefulexistence]

FYI: The firmware you selected is for adding the auto leveling sensor AND a filament runout sensor. (They make a filament runout sensor that will stop printing if your filament runs out so you can load filament and resume printing).

[@summerofsteroids]

[@thespaundrummer1176]

Vlad, nice video, One thing... The G29 code needs to be on a a separate line following the G28 command.I entered it as you demonstrated, but the CL-Touch only checked the center point. After moving the G29 to a separate line, it now checks 9 points.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

Make sure the wheels on the bed are tight. If they aren't, you'll never get it level

If you can't find your firmware version: You can find it on your motherboard, when you open it up. Mine said "4.2.2" just under the creality logo, near the center. ( Ender 3 Pro )

[@jacobjohnson3116]

Hey so I followed this tutorial but now whenever I print something it heats up to 175 nozzle, 60 bed, then heats up to 200 nozzle, 60 bed, and then both go to 0 and everything starts cooling down, without even beginning to print anything. How do I fix this?

[@Fxxje]

I have it as well, but having some issues with it.. My first probe got damaged because it decided to pop-out mid print bumping my buildplate + print on the floor. Also the probe was bent. Looked like a firmware issue to me, since I didnt get it to again before eventually re-flashing the firmware. I read online that I am not the only one with this issue.. Also, My original glass plate is kind of wonky. @ of the 4 corners are quite low and prevent a good layer adhesion. I would expect the probe to fix this by lowering z on those areas, but it did absolutely nothing. Even after installing a new probe, the corner issue still presists. I mean, what is the use of this product if it doesnt do what it is supposed to?

[@ginoantenucci6424]

Important note you have to remove the z limit switch as the cr touch acts like the z limit switch now also you should install the firmware that says just the bl touch not filament runout sensor

[@miriamwong4200]

What happens if you don't remove it? I'm new to this and don't want to mess anything up

[@ginoantenucci6424]

@@miriamwong4200 according to the manual it says it won’t destroy your machine but It is recommended what happens is that you unplug the z limit switch so it would make sense to remove it if you don’t it has an unlikely chance to try to move the z down and the z switch is stoping it by force which is not good for your stepper motors and since the z switch is unplugged it won’t stop the z gantry

[@SpikeCooks]

Hiya, hoping you could answer my question as your reply seems to be kinda what I'm looking for. I feel like I'm having lots of trouble manually adjusting the z height to get the best print, if I got this product, would that mean I wouldn't need to fiddle around with the cogs below the bed to adjust the height?

[@ginoantenucci6424]

@@SpikeCooks no you would still have to do the same fiddling just after your done fiddling you won’t have to manually level a lot the you can just use the automatic level and that should avoid manually leveling for a good amount of time but note that once in a blue moon you should re level your bed manually to make sure you get the best quality prints (I manually leveled it 6 months ago and it is still leveled good I normally auto level it after every print but if it is a not really important part and you don’t mind so much if it is not the best I sometimes skip auto leveling the bed)

[@MrTurtlefan2]

Hi, If the nozzle is too far at one corner, but to close at another corner, will the CR-touch adjust to that, or would I need to?

[@SvarogGames]

hiho i was wondering if you have some tutorial or something i have flashforge finder and after a year it starts loosing steps or layer shifting but i dont know how to tight the belts

[@Byrkster]

Wait, those mounting holes at 3:28 were not there at the beginning 0:20, did you get a replacement bracket? If so where did you get it. My Ender 3 v2 does have those mounting holes. I was just curious as to where I can find the bracket, or did you tap and die them?

[@ekalbtratloc8107]

I was having trouble with the firmware side of this for my ender 3 max, but this video was absolutely perfect! ... unfortunately I did somehow manage to install what I believe is Chinese version(as I don't recognize any Kanji and it definitely isn't English😂). So I'll have to have to quickly fix that, but that was a me problem anyway. Thanks 👍

[@wendigo6782]

PLEASE HELP!!! After installing my CR touch, I start printing and it performs its leveling at several points (4×4). The problem is that during this upgrade the nozzle turns off for no reason. On the other hand, the heating plate always remains hot. It's annoying because the leveling will be distorted, moreover once the leveling is done the printer does not wait for the nozzle to reach its original temperature again, and starts printing directly. Result: Unable to perform reliable printing. What should I do to solve this big problem?

[@hakandemir3244]

Can someone explain what the point is of having a auto bed leveling sensor while you can turn the nozzle down and level the bed

[@crooker2]

I just bought the CR Touch but haven't installed it yet. Thank you for your guide. So I'm using the Jyers UI firmware. Will the BL Touch version of the software be fully compatible with the CR Touch?

[@9495tj]

When I hit auto-home, the nozzle moves down until tip of the bed levelling sensor touches the bed and then a little more, and then the sensor tip withdraws fully. But I can see that my nozzle is still about 4-5mm above the bd. When it finally completes and goes home, the nozzle is still too high. I can never get the bed level with the auto levelling kit.

[@masony8356]

My printer isn’t reading g codes anymore but the level function shows up any idea what’s wrong? Any help is appreciated

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

When I select Auto Home, once it finishes that process and I go into "Move Z" and adjust it from 10.0 to 0.00, my extruder nozzle is still way too high off the bed. WTF?

[@MadEvilLemon93]

i have the cr touch with my ender 3 v2 and each print requires me to mess with the z-offset and it's usually way higher than 0, the last one was 5.68 and the one before that, 6.29. has anyone else had this issue of it always being so inconsistent? i'm considering just going back to manual bed levelling.

[@joygibson6623]

I can't get it to "barely touch" I am not sure how to fix this issue. I'm still looking.

[@reikyjimenez9097]

After starting a print mine auto bed levels the bed again unlike in your video where it just did the two probes?

[@jaydunsmore050897]

done all these steps now my auto home is in the middle of bed and super high, I try to lower the z and it won't lower, it has no problem going up

[@BzzFest]

Not sure why only the middle top, bottom, left and right are the ones that isn't lined up. Only the corners are leveled.

[@A.Roviso]

Mine when it levels doesn't pull the probe up it does it the first and last probe only the rest it pushes down twice goes from blue to red and that's it and I feel like it's not working properly

[@andyerwin3535]

Does that g29 need to be put on all prints? Or just for the bed test?

[@easterlingsminiatures]

I just can't seem to get the nozzle to where I want it on the bed... I offset the z axis and still it doesn't go close enough when it comes to print... I did all the manual levelling as well... any tips?

Same issue, this isn’t much of a “quality of life upgrade” after all…

[@justifiedsins6420]

[@alesculek182]

Definitely install the cable from motherboard to the sensor via the existing flexi cover. Also Z stop should be removed. Edit: check also your motherboard version when you open the cover and write it down somewhere, I had to open it twice.

[@TopofTheHill3D]

why did you install the screws from the bottom -> up?

[@slicedpage]

The support bracket has threaded holes, the cr touch does not so you have to attach it from the bottom. Also don't use the 8mm screws for this as I did LOL. Those longer screws(8mm) are to replace the screws that attach the fan housing so as to accommodate the cr touch bracket.

[@larrybud]

What's the actual DISTANCE in mm that you want the nozzle from the bed? I don't mean "about a sheet of paper" thickness, I mean an actual measurement? Paper comes in all sorts of weights and thicknesses.

[@wakeupslaveamerica]

I agree! Had a cnc router carve, to adjust the belts was told "guitar string tight". That piece of crap could never make a round hole. Perfect way of pushing it back on me. Never give a measurement of some type so it was every time " belts are not tight enough".

[@hufftechsolutions7903]

But they wouldn't want that because they could never have something to blame other than. Wait for it...... "Its not adjusted correct so its your fault its not cutting correct. That's how I learned the x-carve was and is junk. Measurement scale, similar to a fishing scale and a ruler. like any other manufacturer out there that uses belts and actually spent a few minutes to do the measurement and pass it along to their customers.

[@2Cen0]

Probably a dumb question, but once the firmware is updated, can I go ahead and delete the bin files from the SD card, or does the printer need those files on there?

[@evlsc400]

You've probably figured this out by now, but yes you can delete them.

[@xXThomas89999Xx]

I don’t understand what the point is? If we’re using an Ender 3 we’re gonna have to adjust levels every so often anyways. I manually level mine like you did and don’t have any problems besides my z axis being 2mm off. Does it actually change how its coming out of the printer or what’s it doing?

[@evlsc400]

The point is I can lay a few wipes of glue stick, hit print and walk away. I don't even have to acknowledge the machine and it will print a whole build plate. I used to think, manual level is better, but the stress and still having a full build plate lift up in some areas compared to this is a world of difference, it's an honest quality of life upgrade. The 9 point bed mesh will bother you if you only print benchys one after the other... for some reason?
