This is easily the best tutorial video I've ever seen on CZcams. 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.
alternative title: Eric Clapton teaches you about automatic bed leveling.
Yessssss!!👌🤟
"3D printer in Reeeeddd is printing for me"
😂😂😂
🎶 If he could chaaaaaAAAAaaaange the world
He would 3D print all of our universe 🎶
Wonderful BLtouch. 😁
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).
Duly noted, and thank you! 😁
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.
This guys has tutorials down pat. No frills, just clear, concise instructions on what you need to do and possible hurdles you may face. Excellent.
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 ...
That colourful mando helmet in the background is amazing!
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!
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 CZcams as informative as yours. Keep up the great content!
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.
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 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.
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!
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!!
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.
Clear. Concise. Easy to understand. Well edited. Nothing goofy. Bravo sir. Thank you for this tutorial.
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!
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.
Your videos are informative, to the point, and more helpful than all the others.Thank you!
Amazing! This was such a concise and helpful video. THANK YOU for taking the time to make it!
Lifesaver! Been racking my brain over this for a week. Sorry I'm new to 3d printing.
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!
Not only did u help me upgrade to Jyers, but today i finally got around to install the bl touch and upgrade yet again. Without your videos that would not have happened. I tip my hat to u good sir. You are how the internet should be. Thank you sir and happy holidays, and be excellent to eachother.
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!
OK! So glad I found you. Probably the clearest tutorials around. Lots of information without being boring. SUSCRIBED!
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.
I'm loving your stuff so far. Just got into 3d printing with an Ender 3 v2 and you have been a crucial 3d tool. Keep it up!
Thanks! 👍
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.
Great description. So much better than the majority of other 3d printing videos.
Thank you. I recently got the bltouch and I was seeing how it worked in your video did a wonderful job of that and again thank you
Really appreciate your tutorial! Was a great step by step breakdown, really appreciate your z-offset process on getting things dialed in just right!!
Very comprehensive, look forward to watching more of your videos
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..?
@@mccubbinaerial6000 I haven’t found anything local. Amazon has been my only source.
Clear, Concise, perfect directions. Thank you!
Thank you so much! this helped me out so much get it on and the firmware up to date on it!
best tutorial video on 3D printing thus far, thank you.
I very much appreciate this video, I couldn't have installed it with out you. Thank you so much.
I used your guide to install my BLTouch and it worked perfectly on the first try. Thank you sir :)
Great! I'm glad this was helpful! 👍🏻
You're a star, thanks so much for this video Bryan. You've picked up another subscriber ❤️
Thank you so much! i couldn't understand how to do this on any other channel. but finally, i came across this one! Thanks!!!!
Glad I could help! 👍
Great video. I'm getting my Ender 3v2 tomorrow and I can't wait to get printing with it
It's awesome 😎😎
and thank you for staying to the end! you have a new subscriber and thanks for the help!
Thank you, ZeroFox. 👍
Seriously thanks man! This is the third video in a row you’ve made that’s helped me! You sir earn a sub!
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.
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!!!!
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.
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!
Fantastic!!! Stuck for days on this and you've fixed my problem in minutes! 100% subscribing to this
Decided to pick one up. Definitely gonna follow your guide.
Brian, Thank You for the Video! My BL Touch is working Great! I did have the BL Touch get mad once but that was the only time so far.
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.
oh i hate tutorials where it goes like first check content, second i have done off camera, third you are ready
your instructions are so much clear. thank you!
I did this to my v2 a few months ago. It's so great. Really hope you do some more ender 3 v2 videos!
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!
@@dragoshiuk Thanks!
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. 🙂
I'm glad the video helped!
You saved me hours of my life!!! THANK YOU! OUTSTANDING JOB!!!
another good one. I quite like paper or feeler gauge takes me back to points, plugs and valve guides, AAAHHHH memories
You are great at this!
I'm glad we have BV3D! Thanks Bryan.
thanks as this helped me figure out some useful tips and tricks as i am new to 3d printing. Very valuable thanks !
Great work Bryan!
Thanks, Jim! I enjoyed your filament load & unload video the other day. #HotMakes #QuickTips 👍
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.
Your ender 3 vids are always helpful
Thanks!
Great tutorial, and fabulous hair. Keep it up.
you have been so helpful amazing man
This is a good video, as someone new to this it was really helpful.
Extremely useful video! GREAT work!!! I'm subscribed !
you got rid of my huge headache thank you :)
you got my sub was engaged all the way through except when i amazon one of these units
most clear instructions! thank you!
Brilliant and effective tutorial. Thank you for your expertise.
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Thanks for making it easy!!!
thank you for doing this, great clear instructions. works great!
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 help! Love your videos always informative and relevant :)
Thanks, @Gab Roy !
Well detailed video and easy to understand 👏 thank you sir👍
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.
Another great tutorial! I had the same issue with the probe failing during g29 and just printing anyway. Went through creality's fw, then 3DSmith, finally just compiled vanilla marlin and set up the probe through that, and haven't had the issue since. Your z offset method would have been great two weeks ago! Lol
Wow, this was probably the best, most succinct way this could have been explained
champion... this vid saved me heaps of frustraion.. got my sub mate.
Thank you for the tutorial, l find your explanation the best thank you.
Thanks a lot... this is the best video for this BLTouch install
THANKS! great video just did the upgrade
Really appreciate your videos.
Nice one Bryan. I'm about to install the V1 kit on my original CR-10. Fingers crossed. Cheers, JAYTEE
Let me know how it goes! Also I didn't know you had a CR-10. 👍
Thank you, you make easy to understand videos.
Thanks for the video and tips
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!
Thanks for your video class!! Very professional, easy to understand, excellent profesor!
Thanks, this helped a ton!
I like this guy! Very informative
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.
very informative and helpful
Great vid - Have saved this for when my first printer arrives in a week or two
That "once in a while blinking red angry" thing happended on the 4th probe of my first "Level" from the menu just as you mentioned it. Way to go jinx! 😏
How often does this happen to you?
Life saver! I was going insane trying to figure out why my printer always forgot the z offset
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...
i have a E3 Pro with a 4.2.2 so this video has helped a lot
Knowledgeable charismatic teachers is my new favorite thing
I watched a few of your vids to help me get my printer & BLTouch up n runnin - thank you for the vids it helped greatly! BV3D all da wayyyy
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
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.
Awesome idea, but those hardened springs are great as well and may save a destruction if it were to happen when the nozzle plummets!
The springs are a safety feature and shouldn't be removed. If probing fails during the G28 autohome cycle your nozzle will crash hard into the bed.
