Automated Bed Level with the 3D Touch v3

Every 3D Printer needs a perfectly leveled bed. Either you can level it manually, or... you can automate the process using a bed level probe! In this video I look at the 3DTouch v3 probe by Geeetech. We over how automatic bed leveling works, and showcase the 3DTouch probe.

I appreciate the quick references on how to see how bed leveling works. It's informative to a point as it is confusing to setup as is the video from Geeetech

[itemushmush]

i just found this after buying the same geeetech leveller. WOW! thank you, i cant wait to set it up :)

Look forward to your video on installing and calibrating the probe as the other videos out there are downright confusing.

what an efficient video about the concept of auto bed leveling and of course 3d touch, it could be comprehensive if u mention z offset topic thanks to 3d touch

What is the window of tolerance of this probe? I have always used the BL Touch on my printers but I am buying another 3 machines and silent boards so if I can save some money on the probes it can be spent on something else.

mine came bent for some reason. I'm hoping the new one they send will do a better job. Right now the level is random when I print. If you have this, always keep a few extra pins on hand. There is a video of a guy that broke his off when it hit a clip.

Loved the vido, quick question if i may, I have a Voxelab Aquila and not sure if I would be able to use something like this as having real issues leveling my bed

This video was a let down i was looking for setup and how to but this video was how much you liked the the probe. I was looking for wireing and more info including setting up marlin code and or wireing info. this video had none

Great video as always 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀

with this can you remove the z axis limit switch or does it still need to be there

[HaZeTJ]

is there an install guide for TH3D firmware and install of this 3D Touch on Ender3?
I've already mounted the thing, but the only thing that happens is the start up test, and when I try an auto level it raises my Z axis and the probe does not do anything..
It's so odd..

I get this video, great! BUT every time my A20 printer begins a print, it only goes to the center and measures the level there.
If I have done the bed leveling before it seems it does not care about that.
Every sngle time the same thing, at each print, even when the bed level has been performed the probe goes to the center of the bed and measures there, then it begins to print. Why?
Because I can see it with my eye it is not the same level and it does not take the bed level different measures in account when printing.
It is not big difference, about 0.2mm but still I can see it and sometimes it seems it is too tight and sometimes too far away.

Why does the probe only measure the center when I start a print?
So please do not reply by saying I have to do the bed level procedure, IT IS DONE, still it re measures the center position and seems to be happy with that and does nothing to compensate for the earlier 9 point measurements.

Hello, is this the original heatbed? Looks thicker than mine.

Its basicly same price as bl touch after shipping
