- In this video, I am talking about the biggest issue with the 3D touch sensor and I am also announcing the July 2019 giveaway. Have fun watching!
The 3D touch sensor seems to have an inheritent problem with vibrations causing the sensor needle to fall down occasionally. This can lead to fatal print interruptions and the needle can get bent when it hits printed parts at the same time.
I am showing how to fix a bent 3D touch needle, how to magnetize the needle to prevent it from falling out and also I am showing you what to change in your slicer software to avoid the printhead from scratching printed parts especially when you are printing multiple parts at the same time.
Also if you intent to install a 3D touch or BLTouch sensor to your Anet A8, watch my video about it here: • BLTouch on the Anet A8...

July Giveaway is over! Congratulations Ossi Andreasen for winning an Ender 3! Everybody, who did not win: Don't be sad, there is going to come more giveaways this year! Stay tuned!
Hello Crosslink, I have been watching your videos for a while now. I was gifted with an Anet A8 a little over a year ago and have given time to learning it as work and family allow. I am now at the point where I have printed the enhancements and some toys for the kids. I have chosen to learn about 3d printing for a couple of reasons. I see that there is an incredible paradigm shift in the youth of my generation and the current one. 3d printing coupled with electronics will allow this generation to create things like never before. I am learning and teaching my kids how it works and how to do it. I also have kids involved with cosplay and they build their own costumes. I am learning how to design wearables with special effects that they can use to augment their costumes. Thirdly, I also enjoy woodworking when I get the time. I intend to use plans for a DIY cnc router from printed parts.
I have learned a lot from your videos. I did have to upgrade my sanguino board with the proxy arduino so that I could install marlin. I got the steps and wiring from your videos. I have also added several of the safety enhancements from your video as well. I am now getting decent prints but I am starting to learn more advanced tuning features both in the tweaking of temperature and filaments rates as well as using the software for better prints.
I will stop there before I write a book on your site.
In short, thanks, I have very much enjoyed the videos and look forward to getting much better at this 3d printing.
Hi Daniel, I have found your channel really useful, especially in upgrading my A8, to Marlin and adding Mosfets to the hot end and bed. Just watched your video on upgrading the LCD which I have just ordered, so I have subscribed. I am, and always have been a tinkerer, and would use an Ender to generally make items like sliders for metal shed doors, and other practical item around the home, also for upgrades for tools and fish tanks.
Thanks for a great channel, keep up the great work.
Great video Daniel and love your channel. Glad you suggested the Z Hop. I was sitting here saying to myself while watching "Use Z Hop!" I currently I have an Ender 3 and what used to be an Anet A8. (been modified with a 4020 AM8 frame and linear rails for all axes) but I just love my Ender 3. However I find that there are times where two printers just aren't enough because long prints tie up both printers and I have to wait until one of them is complete. Another Ender 3 would be fantastic to add to my group so that I can get more done in the same amount of time. I have been 3d printing for a little over a year and have somewhat gotten out of the novelty phase of printing silly stuff and have been using my printers to make replacement parts for things around the house and made some great lithophanes as gifts this past Christmas. I'm really getting good with Fusion 360 and creating my own designs to print. Keep up the great work Daniel!
Oddly, It seems the comments don't relate to the video content, guess people were only interested in the give away.
- The 3D touch in the video is the old model, the current one (v1.2) does not have a metal needle, it is plastic and looks the same (or extremely similar) to the one on the BLtouch. This should decrease the mass and reduce the main issue the video discusses so buyers should look for that one. Many in the distribution channel are still the old ones even though the new one was released several months ago.
- One doesn't need a special device to magnetize a screwdriver, it's easily done with any strong magnet, I use a neodymium magnet salvaged from an old hard drive.
i already have an A8 that have upgraded using your videos. It has been a great printer but it is getting wore out and i have so many good things about the ender 3d printer. I am big into radio control cars, trucks, airplanes, and boats and i really enjoying making my own parts for them. Plus i make any thing else that i can dream up.
Ender3 would be my choice because I want to keep learning more about 3d printing. Thanks Daniel for this great channel
Hello Daniel, I have been working on model railways for years. I think I can print many parts in 3D, such as tunnel portals and retaining walls. I have watched many of your films and I do like that possibility. I have already tried to design something in Thinkercad and that is going well. I keep watching your movie. It is a new world, I should have been born later. (now 1948)
Greetings from Hans de Bruijn.
Yup. My pin was bent. I was barely noticeable, but it was. Once I straightened it with some pliers it stopped failing randomly.
Great vid as always, If i won id choose the ender 3 and mainly use it with my kids, they have a lot of projects they want to print and on the up side gives enjoyable bonding time away from game consoles.
Keep up the great content
Your videos have great content. I am currently researching which printer to purchase and have looked at both. I would use either printer to print N-Scale models for my model trains. Keep up the great work very informative.

Ender3 would be my choice. I would keep it for myself and tell everyone how great I feel about winning. KIDDING!! I’m happy to be one of your first subscribers. IM A WINNER EVERY TIME YOU UPLOAD A VIDEO. Keep up the great work 😁
I wonder why z-hopping is not on by default. Is it because of slightly longer print times, or does the print quality decrease (I saw some upwards stringing on the video)?
Also, I would use a 3d printer to create tools and guides for my woodworking projects, and possibly print some miniatures for d&d
One more great and informative video... I would like to get an 3D Printer so i can make stuff for my son, and i would be happy to see him learning about 3D printing techonology...
Thank You!

Obrigado pelo vídeo mano! tenho um aqui mas é o sensor original, mas não curti porque não consegui instala-lo com a cama de vidro de 4mm temperado!
Com o BLtouch não vou ter esse problema?
Muito massa seus vídeos! Obrigado
Hey Daniel! informative video as always! Quick question: would you consider upgrading your Anet A8 to an AM8 build and/or changing out the mainboard for a 32 bit one? Thanks!
Hey Beau, I am goign to build an AM8 and a Tatara A8, so watch out for that. 32 Bit is on my list. Will take a while though.

Hi Dan, what an awesome video. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and you have really inspired me into the world of 3d Printing. Everyday I try to make something new and a 3d printer would be an amazing tool. I think I should win this contest because ever since I was little I have always had the urge to make new things and improve upon past designs and with a 3d printer I could achieve so much more. Thanks again!
I'm glad I didn't bother with the mechanical sensors.
Mainly because I blew 12 volts through my bed temp pin and had to steal the only servo pin to fix it.
But the number of times I've jammed my print head into stuff really makes me question whether a BLTouch would have survived.
There is techincally one more pin you can repurpose on the Anet board. You can gang Z-enable to XY-enable and break out that pin.
However in my case I literally broke off that pin. So I wouldn't recommend it.
I love your videos, I would like an endor 3 as I have never used Bowden style if printer.
Like many users, you've performed a lot of modifications to your Anet A8. Perhaps you could do an overview of the different mods, why you decided to do them (or use a particular design over a similar one.) and which ones yielded the best results. For example: Apparently, you replaced an inductive sensor with a less sensitive (or so I've heard) and evidently more problematic touch sensor. But you never mentioned what brought on the change.
I've bought the ender 3 pro k which contains the bl touch on it. But recently, the bl touch doesn't work. Whenever I try to auto home the extruder, the bl touch constantly blinks and the z axis doesn't get homed. Do you know how to fix this problem? By the way great video!
Ender 3 would be the choice. I’d like to 3d print drone pieces and everyday stuff. Great channel
Lots of good information, Thanks Daniel. By the way, I won't be entering the contest as I'm sure there are others more in need of a 3d printer. I am trying to start a printer farm but I don't think that's a good enough reason to win the printer, lol
Good luck with the printer farm!

Hi Daniel, great hack and wonderful explainination in in the video. Thankyou for running the giveaway too. I am interested in the Ender 3. I want to design a service robot - an open source vaccum cleaning robot design for people to print and use with off the shelf electronics and open source visual mapping; to make their own device which is cost effective and can compete with brand offerings like Neato, Dyson etc. In short power to the users, instead of paying the hefty price to the corporation people can build their own robotic appliance. To this effect based on the reviews the ender 3 seems to give better prints with minimal mods and upgrades. The build will comprise of the robot chassis, wheels, motor bracket and suspension and electronic enclosures.
Hi Daniel! I love your video! I would honestly like 3d printer because of the following simple reasons:
1. I never had a 3d printer despite designing many CAD files for printing because I never had the money for it!
2. I want to design and print 'smart' equipment to show people how close we are to that futuristic cyberpunk world, were 3d printing + microcontroller programming can allow people to make pretty much everything they want!
3. I want to review my creations here on TH-cam to show people that you don't have to always go and buy the most expensive stuff, sometimes a little DIY and tutorials can help you make things cheaper and understand them better! 😋
Hi can you tell me which firmware is the best for the anet a8 ? I love your videos :)
Marlin 1.1.9 works best. It depends on what features you need but already the default configuration gives you more safety with thermal runaway protection.
Would love the Ender 3, it would be used for a community venture on the isle of man. Teaching kids, adults about modern technology and showcasing what it can do. Southern Community Initiatives - Isle of Man / Men in Sheds
Horray! Thank you. Found a junk speaker layin around and it was enough to re-magnetize my 23 dollar clone. A new print with no settings changed caused dragging, and then it did exactly what you said.
Great job covering the probe. If I win I will use the printer teaching others how to use a 3d printer making upgrades and useful things to help you in your life.

Ender 3 would be great to have, so i could finally build my own RC model
I have just installed the BL Touch on my ender 3 pro .
After a lengthy process of installing and making sure everything was ok
I managed to do a first print ,taking approx. 45 min.
This was an amazing print
I changed the pla and turned the ender back on ,as soon as I did. I got a very strong smell of electrical burning
The light immediately went out on the sensor
I am now left with this not working at all
Any ideas as to what may have happened
The needle had not been damaged or anything, as it had returned to home after the last print
Sad to hear that, really. Is the printer working at all? Can you make it work again without the sensor? It's possible that the sensor was defective and needs to be replaced.
@@Crosslink3D Yes the printer powers on, But I wasn't sure if I could print with the sensor not on it, as the end stop had to be removed
Its so frustrating that the first print took 45 approx. and worked fine
Oh thanks for getting back to me as nobody else could be bothered
I would be gratefull if you had any information on how to get this up and running again while another touch sensor is sent to me
I love these videos. Ender 3 for me to make my custom works.
But if you can't get the needle strait anymore !
Where to buy a steel one 🤔
Hi Daniel, thanks for the giveaway, I started watching your videos couple of weeks back after I bought my first printer A8, love your content it helped me a lot especially the one for Marlin installation using Arduino uno. For the give away I would select ender 3, because I already own A8 and I will be using it to build my dosa (it's an Indian version of pancakes) maker and other similar projects.
It has a magnet inside the heat shrink tubing. The needle is aluminum, it's not magnetic. Cut a tiny bit of that extra heat shrink tubing on the top which will bring it close to the set screw allowing it to 'stick' better. just don't take all of it off it it may stick too much.
Hey, Thanks for your time . i have manually leveled my bed, 4x4_mesh Marlin_2.0_bugfix. I was wondering, is the BLTOUCH worth having ? All most every time I make a change to the system i have to redo the mesh (LCD). As well my printer is home made (me 60 retired) and i spend more time fixing and making part for it than i should. When it's in a good mood I print D&D for my son and his friends, gadgets for the house and car. I contribute everything i design to Thingiverse (Sanity check). Cheers all.
U have no idea how many cigarettes I burned trying to figure out what bent the BL touch needle. Thanks
My 3DTouch has very bad accuracy. I feel the BLTouch design is flawed because of using a Hall sensor as this makes it less accurate and reliable as external magnetic fields can affect the detection. Why is no company making a servo + opto-interruptor based probe? With dedicated components, that could be made as small and much more accurate (as the light used for sensing is not affected by external factors).
I already own a CR10 and OPi3Mk3s, but would like to donate my winning printer to the local school here. *e3
I will chip in 4 roles of PLA if I would win
great info by the way !
Hello, I like your videos, I like the way you explain to noobies some interest things about 3d printers. My roommate and I are thinking of asking a friend of ours (who has a 3dprinter) to print a Iron Man Glove so my roomate can use it in a convention. If we get the 3d printer we just would need to take time and do it at home. cheers!
Hello Daniel. Me and my 8year old son would like to win an 3D printer (ender 3 would be preferred but either one is fine) because we have been experimenting with 3d pen and son really likes it and would like to move on to 3d printer but our family budget is tight at the moment due to having a newborn baby . First print would be flexyshark :)
3:34 Amazing that the needle got bent so badly just by hitting a printed part? Obviously even with pliers it takes some force to straighten it out.
It was a larger print and the x axis motors produce a lot of force so it bent easily
It's been solved on the latest version with a plastic pin + magnet, hasn't it?
Yes, that's right
I would like to get a 3d printer to make some helpful stuff. I also want ti make some parts to repair the things I have at home. This could help me to learn something new like the 3d printing world.
You scared me a little bit with this issue. I thought that clones should work ok but this its a very big issue. If i won an ender 3 im going to print a lot of frames and parts for mini combat robots with arduino

Hello Daniel! I'm in to miniature gaming, home automation and robotics. I'd like to get my 6-year old sucked in to these hobbies too and I think a 3d printer could help. So if I win I would like an Ender3, I've heard good things about that one.
I Think marlin bedlev. Is just fine🤓
e 3. i just want to make things for my friends and fam!
hope you do good in the fewcher! (i know i did not spell that right sorry)
Hello.
It would be amazing to get a new printer.
I got an anet a8 (old model)
And i tried to build an AM8.
But it fell down and a lot of parts broke.
Still want to build it. So a new printer could be great to finish my AMI.
Would of course send pictures. :-)
Ps. Ender would be great to get more options.
But the anet would also be good.
Thanks for your info films.
Just one more thing.
This is the design i am remixing for my build.

!!!!!! Ossi, congratulations, the randomizer has selected you as the winner of an Ender 3! I need your details, so please send me an email or contact me on twiter/instagram. !!!!!!!
Holy ....!
Thank you so much :-D
Im going to send you a mail right away. ;-)
Can be fixed?
well, sort of worked for me. still ordered a new one in parallel
My 3d touch works fine it just the marlin ignores the test results😢
I want 3D printed because I think it's the future of industry and I want to learn. I would definately like to print functional prints, because for me its more fun then printing busts and cartoon characters.
6:05 Turn on retraction.
The only thing you have to do is cut the heat shrink tubing closer to the magnet.
Hi Daniel, love the videos. I'd chose the Ender 3. I currently have an anet A8, and I print items for the local school and charity, which they use to educate disabled and special needs children. They love the models and I can create models unique to the individuals favourite character, which greatly helps them learn and they absolutely love it. I'd love to be able to get better quality that a Ender 3 would give as sometimes I cannot print the models they want good enough, or even at all, and as I dont accept any money for what I do, I can't afford a better printer to do what I want to do for them. You can find me on twitter @riselytom, I don't use it much but I do plan to in the future

I had a class in college about 3D printing that was amazing and made me excited for 3D printing. I would like to make use of all the skills I've picked up about 3D modelling as well as learn new things while building a printer of my own. Plus I have a lot of missing LEGO bricks from old sets that are not being sold anymore and I found a cool page that has 3D models for the bricks in the specific model, so I'd print the hell out of them :). (Twitter: @JuveManiac84)
I want to give someone else my chance :D
Hello Daniel. I would like to get the Ender 3 for my son so he can print parts for his school projects himself. He is studying mechnical engineering in an other city and does live there in a students flat. He e-mails gcode files to me and I print them on my Prusa printer. I have to send the printed parts to his student flat, or he will pick them up during a weekend visit. The Ender 3 would reduce his turn around time considerably and at the same time free up my Prusa printer for my own print jobs again.

it happened to me with a 3d touch clone the pin has bend so hard that it broke!
Oh man, what a mess. DId you find a replacement pin on aliexpress? I am about to order some to test if they work with the old model.
@@Crosslink3D no i just throw it away for an inductance sensor i came back with a pei sheet and it work very very well!
@@Crosslink3D imo dont try this i haved repair one and it dont work very well the needle sometimes drop and the 3d touch suddenly flashing and it goes up and down eraticly
I have ordered a replacement pin and will try it out. Let's see. What inductive sensor are you using? Mine is 4mm sensing distance and 8mm diameter.
@@Crosslink3D i use this one on my anet A8 on aluminium bed it doesnt work with the anycubic ultrabase the glass is too thick www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XRSV6XG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would like to get an 3d printer especial Ender3 because to make prosthetic hands and giving it for free like E-nable is doing and also Printing Different types of Prototypes and printing Iron Man suits. I already have an anet a8 but i am not satisfied with the prints so i really need a new printer and I will not take it completely for free I will pay you ( its because new printer will cost too much and i cant afford that) . and I love 3d printers and I love to teach people about 3d printers

I would love to put a 3D Touch on a printer if I won one... and turn it into a 3D printing workhorse to sell different 3D printed objects. This video on the 3D Touch was very informative, especially the part about re-magnetizing it.

Hello, Daniel, I will love to win the Ender 3 because I want to start posting videos about building an entire workshop(building a not just a CNC router, also every type of saw, drill press, jointer, a metal lathe; etc.) with the help of 3D printing; so everybody with a 3d printer can replicate the project. But my problem is this: I live in Argentina and we have to pay to import a 3d printer a lot of taxes (almost 50% of the cost of the product+ shipping) and even then, the product can be retained ( It happened to me twice). In the case of a giveaway we only pay taxes for the shipping and the controls are not that strict.
I want to thank you for your content and if I win my twitter account is @FedericoLugon
Pd: Sorry for my English and good luck to everybody
My twitter is @Heat_Advisory . I want a 3d printer because I have a muscular disease and want to build stuff that I physically can't. I am also going to build custom buttons for the xbox adaptive controller to help other disabled people.
Hi Daniel, greetings from a Dutch neighbour! :) I would love to win one of the 3D printers because I'm looking forward to start creating things with my kids. I was already looking around for a nice printer to start with 3D printing and my the Anet A6 cought my eye. personally I would use the printer to create futuristic masks and other fun projects. If i would win, I might pick the A8 as you can modify it almost to no end... something that fascinates me, the idea of owning a machine, that can make it's own upgrade parts and by doing that, improves itself. love the channel, it has a lot of information for a beginner like myself! (Instagram/twitter: @loopymind)
Hi Daniel, thanks for another grate and helpful video.
I would like to get the ender 3 printer mainly to make my own Frankenstein. I would like too add a new main board to it, 3d touch and some more upgrades that if i wold buy the printer by my own wold just be a too big investment.

Hey Daniel, Thanks for the great content! I would like to enter your contest. Thanks to you my son has the ambition and courage to start his own TH-cam channel, and THIS IS IT!! Thank you so much! We just ordered a camera and he's super excited to get it and get started making content. He said, "he would like to win the Ender 3 (We have an A6) and he would print 100 of his maker coins to do a give away on his channel." He also said, "He would print thousands of other things while creating videos, showing kids, how they can do anything they put their minds to.

Man, the problem is that 3D Touch is a cheap clone of BL Touch.
Yeah, that could be one of the reasons. But more people buy cheap... Btw. there is a new version of the 3D Touch with a different needle. Need to test this as well soon.

@@Crosslink3D Daniel, it's not just a needle. A year ago I got two 3DTouch sensors for my A8 (long gone), one of them wasn't working from the beginning (the needle was not retracting automatically at all), second one had problems with that thick aluminium needle falling from sensor body in the middle of print. It's just a cheap clone. That's all it is. Sure I know many people will buy 3D Touch because it cheaper, but that's what you should expect when you get cheap replicas. So my point is that it might be a good idea to get cheap sensor just to try how does auto-leveling work, but in a long run you should by an original sensor which will save you time and nerves. Same thing with Anet A8 printer - cool cheap thing to start with, not good for a long run.
Hi,
I'm Anjana from Sri Lanka. I'm a second year Engineering undergraduate student. I would like to win a 3D printer. It will help me with my experimental project for my education.
