BLTouch is an auto leveling sensor for 3D Printers that can precisely measure the tilt of the build surface. Capable of high resolution mesh levelling on any surface!
BLTouch can be easily applied, since it has a small and simple structure. Gathering information & firmware setting will be an easy task, because BLTouch works as usual auto bed leveling sensor.
Smart
Self-test : The push pin is operated three times to test when the power is on
Alarm : The LED light blinks if a problem found on a self-test or on an operation
BLTouch’s Standard Deviation in repeatability is around 0.005mm
BLTouch consists of Atmel ATtiny13A, solenoid, and a push pin.
On idle state, while the push-pin is whether pulled out or retracted, there are not any electric current flowing on solenoid, and standby electric current in the whole device is below 15mA on average, whereas on working state, while the pin is moving in sudden about 100ms, under 300mA flows in the device.
Low power consumption even further drops joule heating, preventing from heat problem.
BLTouch does not uses either optical, nor proximity(inductive/capacitive) sensor.
BLTouch is controlled by hall effect, providing high precision. Thus the bed material can be selected freely
