As someone reported in the comments below, the code shown in the video contains an error. Line #define SERVO0_PIN_27 should be #define SERVO0_PIN 27 (last underscore replaced with space)
as someone else reported in the comments "There is a critical information missing in this video, if you cannot take your nozzle below absolute zero (soft zero), enter this: M211 S0. This command will disable the soft stop. Once you adjust with paper, enter M211 S1 to enable it back."
Hi, i have a little problem. My Z axis after preparing everything isnt lowering itself but only trying to get higher and higher. Do You have any idea what the problem could be?
@@TheGregMean probs the Z home direction setting in the firmware (you figured it out I guess this is for the next person reading this)
The th3d link doesn't work.

your wiring guide is really well done, Thank you
Just what I was looking for! For some reason, I just could not get the z offset to stay. Used the commands you can and all is good!
Thanks for your tutorial. Great information.
Thank's for the video. Now I at least know that the effort won't be worth it for me. Will continue levelling my bed manually with a piece of paper only. Takes me a minute and never had any problems
Regarding the Z Axis, you are correct, it’s one or the other, not both. I have this done the same way on my Anet A8.
I followed your procedures as well as incorporated a couple of other g codes for my CR-10s. Everything seemed to work ok right up until I told it to auto level. The probe starts far right at the very front edge of the bed. The 4th point on the far left is completely off the bed. I thought I must have messed up something in the firmware regarding the bed size, but it appears to be set properly at slightly under the 300mm. I don’t know what to do now. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I personally prefer the cheap solution: Membrane switch to be put to the nozzle. Mostly used on deltas you can get such a switch for less than $2 on AliExpress; less than $5 including a board with a LED (which helps on the manual leviling with screws before using ABL). Solder Pin 29 on the Melzi board, get GND and 5V from the ISP-port, make some changes in firmware - and ready to go.
You normaly do not need to do ABL every time before print but only if calibration changed (other heatbed temperature, nozzle-change, transport the printer...) so manualy attatch the probe does not seem a problem to me.
Is there a 27 pin breakout board for the CR-10 S5? That's the printer I have, and I purchased the BLTouch but have yet to install it.
A common source of 8 core cable is stranded CAT5. (Can't use solid because it will not last with constant movement.) Good way to reuse CAT5 patch cables with broken tabs, especially ones that are too short to be worth crimping a new connector onto. Ground all unused wires to minimize interference.
Thanks for the tip, I have a couple of those. In the past I also used alarm wire because that as well has stranded cores.
nice guide
Thank you very much for this video. At 2:30 why not attach the BLtouch to the mount with the nuts before installing the mount to the hot end assembly? You can also manually raise the Z position to give yourself more room to work with.
yup, that is good advice
THANKS!!!
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
how did you get the picture of your warped bed on the computer? At 0:34
So just with the command "G29 : Auto level extruder" in the g-code the machine will interpretate to make a heigh measure using as base the lowest point of Z axis configured in the machine? (my case Z -1.29)
Great video. Very through.
Hello I own a Creality Cr-10 mini can be this BLTouch install in this model? thanks for your help
I have got a clone BL Touch (3 D Touch) all setup and able to AutoHome and probe the bed at multiple points! Bed Visualizer plugin for Octoprint works to provide a visual bed mapping as well. I can Autohome the center of the bed using a G28 and launch a full bed probe using G29. I then input the start G Code that was listed here and when I launch a print the CR 10Autohomes and then probes each point on the bed as it should and then just stops at the last point in the rear right corner. Both nozzle and bed are up to proper temp so it should just start printing , but it does not. It waits and waits and waits... Software Endstops are turned on - I checked by issuing an M211 and all end stops report as functional and change states appropriately. Checked with an M119.
Ive got my probe offset correctly defined in Marlin as well. I measured how far the probe tip was in front of the nozzle (Y Offset) and to the left of the nozzle (X Offset). I tried some other start G Code and it just made the hot end grind all the way back towards the X Axis and then travel upwards towards the top of the Z axis. I need an assist.
Late reply, but same issue. It stops at last point. Found a fix?
Is it using metal or plastic needle? Please tell me it's performance if you still using the probe
Excellent
Just to solve the mystery with the z axis limit switch: if nothing ist touching it, the switch is closed and opened if pushed. So what happened ist that you shorted the black and white wire of the sensor each time the switch was not pressed. And so it doesn't matter if the sensor closed his self or opened... It stays closed until the switch was pressed
Just followed your instructions - have to to say this needs updating as my z axis now crashes into the bed at first, then levels itself. Also I have no BLTOUCH bed leveling controls on the screen. There are only BLTOUCH self test, reset, deploy or retract options :(. I will upload a video.
Just setting up my first Printer, CR-10s S5. I liked this design, but with all the advertising hype associated with the other types I wasnt convinced. Your video has convinced me. This will be my choice for ABL. I hope you will be available for questions >:) . Mainly G-code insecurities at this point. Thanks for making this video.
I have the CR-10S too - its an awesome machine once you get your filament settings dialed in. A lot of other machines are 98% identical. Im not a Prusa fan - way too many weak 3d printed plastic parts- if you go plastic then I want factory jet molded for the price he's asking. FYI the main board is different than the CR-10, you have a LOT more memory available on the 10S so no need to comment out any code to make space and you can flash with the USB port. The firmware settings are different though - keep an eye on that. Ive flashed mine several times - the stock firmware is not great. The latest marlin with the added code works fantastic.
Do you have any "great" video sources for the Marlin sw updates or how to do the updates or mods for the bLT. I just ordered the BLT but dont want to screw up my CR-10s. There is advise but its all over the place. thanks@@davey3765
Thanks for the video, TH3D makes the install a breeze - That cable tie is not terminated correctly
Hey men, do you have that specific TH3D firmware?
@@engineboy5362 Did you ever find it. Looking for it aswell.
Will it fit the cr10 s5?
Is this process still correct? I'm installing a BL touch on my cr10 today. I've got the install and firmware covered(I bought the original). What I'm concerned with is the proper setup to get it working after install/firmware
Are you still using a bltouch on your CR-10. I would like to upgrade to an abl system and was wondering if this would still be your recommended option?
Yes I would still recommend the bltouch, it's the best.
@@voltlog Awesome! I just ordered one! Thank you! Is there a way to babystep z height mid print with this firmware? I am able to do this on my genius to get the perfect layer mid print.
so basically it turns out you need to replace the z axis sensor wiring with the bltouch wiring and thats it, right?
Followed well up to the board selection. In the TH3DUF_R2.INO file under TOOLS>BOARD - there is no Sanguino board available in the drop down menu. What should I select?
Printer in above comment is CR-10, which was uncommented in the Configuration H file.
Nevermind, figured out how to add sanguino to board manager

Do you have that firmware? I have tried with the ones on the link but they are new and I can't use it
This might be a stupid question but... you disabled the SDcard support in the arduino code. How can i use my cr10 then? Or does the standard microSD still work? Thanks in advance!
sd card support was disabled, you can print via usb. if you still need sd card support you will need to search for a tutorial that will keep sd card but disable some other things to free up memory.
@@voltlog thanks for the reply! Unfortunately i cannot find any other good tutorials.. can you recommend any other functions to disable? i would appreciate it a lot!
@@narada4421 You can save quite a bit of memory by disabling menu options you don't normally use.
@@narada4421 You can disable boot up screen - not sure how much it frees up not tried that method as i just print from usb or over octoprint
Works with cr10 mini?
Why did you ditch the capacitive ones?
They were not giving me enough sensing distance with my setup (glass over aluminium bed)
Hi after this do you still need the Z end stop? Thank you
leave z end stop disconnected
VoltLog thank you 🙏
I'm late to the party but why are the .INO files no longer in any of the firmware folders ? Keep trying to figure this out but every instructional has them and none of the modern firmware versions offer them. Thanks
Is there a noticeable drop in quality when getting a clone vs getting a genuine BLTouch?
For me the trianglelab works perfectly.
Im having issues since trying to install bltouch on my CR10. I cant get any answers from creality or other pages I posted in. My printers just collecting dust. Im pretty sure I have the wires connected properly and installed the firmware correctly. I auto home then prepare, move axis, move Z and adjust Z until paper just contacts nozzle just like I would level it. I get the value -002.8 then im supposed to go to control, motion Z and whatever it says add that to -002.8 and adjust. Well my Z says 00.00 Every single instruction and video Ive seen to install the bltouch, not one person had their Z offset say 00.00 Im guessing this is the issue but dont know what I did wrong. When I try to run the bltouch to level it goes through 9 points then goes up and right until the motor sticks. Theres no place I cant take it and pay to have it fixed so I cant even use it anymore. Please help.I bought the kit directly from creality because it had a little flash drive to just upload firmware tha was supposed to work without making manual firmware changes which I dont know how to do.
Did you ever fix this? In the same boat but I'm thinking of just doing what is in this guide. Pretty damn ridiculous creality basically lies to everyone saying the firmware works when obviously it does not!
IMPORTANT! The code in the video is WRONG which cause stuck me up, for 4 hours of head banging against my wall.
the line #define SERVO0_PIN_27 is wrong correct line is #define SERVO0_PIN 27 (last underscore replace with space)
If you flash your printer with bad code you will end up with bltouch which is in stowed stated unable to release!!!
VoltLog can you please correct this line of code in your video? At least show big warning.
PS: I know that my english is bad, but more important is this information.
thanks for reporting the error.
please help I having issue on my BLTouch when I do bed leveling it goes in the middle and starting knocking loud ive got the CR10s im not sure howto set offset
Same problem here
ever fix this?

HELP PLS
I fnished intalling BLTOUCH and firmware,
I Have CR-10
Motherboard V1.1.2
Firmware: CR-101.1.6BLTouchV3PowerLossContinueEnglish.hex
(the latest firmware Creality provide on its website for the CR-10 with Bltouch )
BLTouch V2
Auto home work fine,
When I select level Bed, its goes through its sequence than, Z goes full up, X goes full forward and Y full right untill all moors are slamming at their max...
I reflashed the firmware with couple different ones.. always the same issue.. any ideas?
Is is a problem with the V1.1.2 not having enough memory space ?
What do I need to do?
How did you solve this? Having the same issues.
Can you not just remove the Z stop connector from the board and plug in the bl touch instead of tapping the wires?
Jamal Mahroof yes you can do that if you have the proper jst connector. I had to tap the wires because I had a previous mod there.
@@voltlog Got my bl touch and just did it with some male dupont wires. One on each of the pins and it works fine.
@Jamal Mahroof you just connected the sensor to Z endstop switch with no any other control box modifications? upgrade the firmware and thats it? something I don't get.. what about SD SUPPORT?
There is a critical information missing in this video, if you cannot take your nozzle below absolute zero (soft zero), enter this: M211 S0. This command will disable the soft stop. Once you adjust with paper, enter M211 S1 to enable it back. Watch this for setting up the BLTouch: czcams.com/video/y_1Kg45APko/video.html
For those who dont have wires in following order: brown, red, yellow, black, white - don't follow colors manual, there are some bltouches with fucked up colors, check which wire is which beforehand, otherwice you will get black screen on tour CR10 when you start it after rewiring.
How do you check?
Everything ok with the installation and the firmware, but when I give the homming command, the Z axis does not stop when the BLTOUCH touches the table. What can I do?
signal is not reaching the motherboard, could be incorrect wiring, incorrect config, you need to check everything.
Hey did you figure it out, if so what was the fix?
Im getting this erroe=r message? #error "You must define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE in your configuration."

@@MoonJumpMania 3month later , but still > you must uncomment this //#define CUSTOM_PROBE under your printer section in configuration.h

When I connect the 5 volt cable to the programming headers, the board turns off and if I unplug it, it turns on! Help (Cr10 mini)
short
hi. Everything goes fine until i have
to do the calibration.
When calibration finish the z axis starts to up, and do not stop until
gets the top of printer. Even when it comes to the end, the motor still
working, do not stop and very bad noise comes from spindle. This is the
case of a CReality CR-10.
Please anybody can help?
i have a cr10s5, i did step by step and my nozzle just slams on the bed, tried unplugging the z axis switch but it doesnt work,and the sensor seems unresponsive (red light and a small blue is on) if i put my finger under it it goes upwards but it doesnt stop the nozzle, just keeps going. anyone got any ideas?
get a replacement
Reverse the polarity of the black and white wires.
Try wiring the switches in series not in parallel
When I try to flash the board I get this #error "You must define Z_CLEARANCE_DEPLOY_PROBE in your configuration." not sure what to do. Help Please!
Check other commands with the same name and make sure all the letters, spaces, numbers, underscores and ; are the same. Also check that it is not commented somewhere up the code.
If you set #define CUSTOM_PROBE then #define EZABL_ENABLE gets set which in turn sets #define FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE
So you end up with a FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE and a BLTOUCH at the same time, which generates the error "Please enable only one probe option:" I just commented out the line #define FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE from line 1914 of Configuration_backend.h It now compiles.
Ordered the original, not to support the inventors, but because I hear a lot of these sensors fail and I wanted the Amazon warranty :p
Hello! I followed your guide. I have the following problem, I have tried to install the Aliexpress BLtouch. I have been at this time since I am a newbie, and now I have the following problems.
The first is that now I do not heat the nozzle and I put the error that appears in the picture that comes out of the screen of the CR10.
Secondly, I can not get the BLtouch to work, I'm left with a fixed red LED, and if I'm under the sensor, it turns blue but it still does not work. I leave the photos of the interior, wiring and others. I can not find the problem. Thank you so much everyone.
The current link for the firmware is:
www.th3dstudio.com/knowledge-base/th3d-unified-firmware/?seq_no=8
And in the newest version die #define SDSUPPORT is in line: 1716
thermite is not responding
So, I just watched twelve minutes worth of footage, and I still have no idea what "a BLTouch" is. Yes, it's clearly (?) some sort of proximity sensor. On a non-exclusively-3D-printer-oriented channel like this one I would have appreciated a few words on what exactly it is supposed to be and how exactly it is supposed to work though, before the plunge into the "just do this and stop asking questions" tutorial.
you're right I should've added some info on what the bltouch is. It is a bed leveling sensor that uses a push pin and a hall sensor to detect the surface of the bed thus it doesn't matter which material the bed is made of. It also features a solenoid for retracting/pushing the pin automatically.
Thank you. That sounds pretty interesting on its own actually...
If you have gone this far into looking at this video, then you should have already done your research and known what a BLTouch is. The title states that he is installing a BLTouch on a CR-10. Use some common sense and some Google skill's beforehand and search both keywords in that title and you will know exactly what he is doing.
LOL
dude your video is like SO OUT DATED .. sorry to say that.. but.. I'm running version( U1 R2 10d) . NOT much different from yours.. BUT TOTALLY different from your video .. the TH3D file now just say in it, to NOT USE this file, and to use the Configure.h file instead.. So yeah.. that's fun.. cuz Like I said . TOTALLY different.. You can just make a updated file.. to link from this video to show folks how to do it all with the configuration.h file?
I myself am fighting the same thing. current latest firmware is not working. what would make a firmware work? can anyone send working firmware :)
