Is CR Touch better than BLTouch?

The CR-Touch is slightly more accurate than the BL-Touch. The metallic sensor pin of the CR-Touch cannot collide with the print bed because it is always automatically retracted. The CR-Touch has an optical sensor that is not as sensitive to external interference as the Hall sensor in the BL-Touch.

How accurate is BLTouch?

The BLTouch is a sensor for automatic print bed leveling. A Hall sensor is triggered by an electromagnetic field as soon as the sensor pin moves back into the housing by touching the print bed. It is extremely accurate with a repeatability of about 0.001 mm.

How does Creality CR Touch work?

The CR-Touch levelling sensor performs multi-point detection on the print platform and records the height of each detection point. The system creates a virtual plane based on the elevation of each point and calculates the tilt angle between the nozzle and the platform to automatically compensate for different points.

Why is BLTouch always red?

So, what can cause the BLTouch to blink red? BLTouch blinking red quickly (equal times on and off) means that the probe is in alarm mode, signaling that it has failed the self-test, which can be due to various things going wrong, such as the obstruction of the pin.

How much can BLTouch compensate?

BLTouch is an auto leveling sensor that can precisely measure the tilt of the print surface so that your printer can compensate as small as 0.01mm* difference. It could work with any kind of bed materials, such as glasses, woods, metals, and so on.

Why is my CR Touch blinking red?

TIP: If at any point the BL Touch starts to flash red and the probe does not move, it means that the probe got stuck. To fix this, turn off the printer and manually pull down and push in the probe and restart the printer.

Why is my CR Touch red?

What is the difference between CR Touch and BL-Touch?

The biggest difference between the BL-Touch* and the CR-Touch lies in the sensor technology used. The BL-Touch uses a Hall sensor to measure the approach of the pin into the sensor via electromagnetic fields. The CR-Touch uses an optical sensor to detect the position of the pin inside.

Does BLTouch work with glass?

According to Antclabs, the original manufacturer of the probe, “BLTouch is an auto leveling sensor for 3D printers that can precisely measure the tilt of (sic) bed surface.” This sensor works on any type of bed surface, be it metal, glass, wood, or something else entirely.
