Ender 5 BLtouch guide - Step by step for Marlin & TH3D

  • The Ender 5 is similar to the Ender 3 in many ways, including many people receiving theirs with warped beds. This BLtouch guide will take you through step by step on how to fit this very popular auto bed levelling probe. It covers printed parts, physical installation/wiring, firmchange changes and configuration.
    This guide assumes you have already burned a bootloader: • Ender 5 bootloader and...
    Since the TH3D version of Marlin now supports the BLtouch, I’ve covered this as well as vanilla Marlin. It is easier to setup but if you want to customise parameters it becomes harder.
    I recommend purchasing a genuine BLtouch from Antclabs rather than a clone. Some people have success with the clones but many have issues and end up buying genuine anyway.
    This guide should also work for Ender 3 with very minimal changes.

    As a first time printer, I just had to add a comment here about your videos. They have been a Godsend to me. You are very complete, well spoken, and the level of detail you provide is just simply amazing. I thank you VERY much for your efforts! Because of you I'm guarantee that 1000's of people are printing suggestively because of your efforts. On behalf of all of them, THANK YOU!

    BLTouch is such a nice addition. I used to calibrate my printes manually for years, but with nowadays tech you can forget about calibrating a 3D printer. Very nice video! I actually like more the repeatability of the inductive sensors instead, but that's just a taste choice. :) I hope you all have a great day!

    Hey Michael, another great video. Thats the same technique I use to thread the wires through the sleaving. It took a while to work it out, but it really does make it so easy. I also wrap the ends in insulating tape or heat-shrink to stop them fraying.
    I no longer strap the wires to the PTFE, this is because the wires add weight to the PTFE and cause it to bend, this creates tighter radii which causes more friction resistance on the filament while extruding. To support the wires I thread a piece of 3mm nylon filament through the sleaving with the wires and anchor it at both ends, again, this helps to reduce the any bend radii on the wires, therefore extending their life. Hope that all makes sense :-)

    Michael, if you simply compress the entire cable protector, it will expand in size, and become about 15-20cm long, but 2-3cm in diameter. That makes it very simple to feed the wires through.

    • @JimVeneskey
      @JimVeneskey 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just to be sure - your printer has a V1.1.5 mainboard and it worked with these instructions? Did you go with the 2m cable since amazon only sells 1m or 2m?

    • @barhamd1
      @barhamd1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, the machine has the v1.1.5 motherboard. I made my own extension lead to the BLtouch from a bit of ribbon cable, 1m isn't quite long enough. I used the TH3D firmware as, when I tried to follow the vanilla Marlin instructions I ended up with an executable which was too big for the processor. Using the TH3D (version R2 config.h version 010109) worked ok and the v1.1.5 board had a pre-installed bootloader which kept things simple.
      Thanks again for the instructions.

    I also posted this comment on your Ender 5 Marlin video. It would have been helpful information when I began this process and thought maybe it would help someone else or possibly me in the future :)
    I found out how to flash using the original ISPUSB that came with the printer. You just have to export Marlin from Arduino, which creates a hex file (in the Arduino directory, bootloader included) that then is able to be written through the progisp program from Creality.
    I had a few hurdles, after doing the modifications in this video, my compile was at 98% and though the compile completed the flash ended up giving me the blank bluescreen on boot error. Looking through the compile I noticed two errors, one with ultralcd.cpp the other with temperature.cpp which lead me on a wild goose chase, After realizing these were both temp files I figured they weren't an issue and redid the whole firmware watching your videos again from start to finish. I achieved the 98% before commenting out the ARC feature in your Bltouch video and thought it was ok. This time after writing again and failing again.I decided to comment out the ARC this brought me down to 96% and finally a fully functional printer.
    Next issue I had doing a test print was that my prints were getting smashed as though it was not raising up the Z axis enough, I discovered that the Ender 5 PRO has the lead rod upgrade. Your configuration files are for the 400 lead rod I finally found that the code I needed to edit was here...
    #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 80, 80, 800, 93 }
    Now everything is wonderful! Thank you for your help and the education!

    I did this right from pretty much the very first shot! Except, there was one thing that wasn't mentioned. The newer Ender 5 (perhaps even after your video was made) have a new z axis screw that is 800 steps/mm. The example cfg files for the Ender 5 have this set at the old configuration of 400 steps/mm.
    This leaves me with a question I'm having a hard time finding the answer to. How do I upload the changes I've made to the cfg file to my board, now, with the boot loader? I tried to just plug in and upload, but, was not able.

    Hi I got the bltouch working with th3d but is there anyway to make it probe once with the g29 command? It probes 2 times 3x3 grid which takes forever.

    Hi there Michael, any chance you could do a Marlin 2.0 install guide with BL touch on the Ender 5?
    I'm having issues here with 2.0, the buzzer is constantly sounding off (with the stream if pulses intended for the BLtouch), even though I'm using pin 29 and have added your lines to enable servo0 on pin 29. Thanks

    Got a new BLTouch and followed your vids through multiple attempts and after 4-5 "successful" loads of Marlin 1.9 (Not ready for 2.0) My Ender 5 give me only a blank LCD. I have tried googling and no luck. Last attempt I "reburned" the boot loader and according to Audrino successfully flashed the new firmware and still a blank LCD. Looking for help - feeling out of options and frustrated....

    why doesn't anyone just use the default mount for the BLTouch. I cant seem to find the default nozzle to probe values.

  • @EricSten
    @EricSten 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    So if I understand correctly with the latest TH3D unified version all that needs to be changed to get BLTOUCH support is to update the configuration.h file, modify the printer section for the model being used to enable the custom_probe, edit the BLTOUCH section to enable it and pin 27 support and adjust the probe offset location? So much easier then in the past. I'm assuming this will work for the Ender 3 as well, just uncomment the Ender 3 sections.

  • @brendantighe1979
    @brendantighe1979 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tried your firmware 2.0x and have a few issues. My probing only covers the left 2/3 of the plate. When I try to print it tries to push the head through the plate. I checked my Zoffset 100x and the math is correct. I also tried the entire range of adjustments. Still hits the bed and wants to travel another 20-30 mm after it hits. Do you have an updated firmware? Ender 3 Pro, SKR Mini E3 v1.2, BLTouch. You are using on these thing quickly. Thanks for all the great guides.

  • @elmergloo3259
    @elmergloo3259 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like this solution doesn't work anymore. Creality keeps updating the firmware so it gets larger and larger. Some of the recommended lines to comment out were already commented out. The few things I could comment out I was still 8000 bytes over. I don't know what else I could remove without making the whole thing not work. Also the pin 27 breakout board I received didn't allow my LCD to work through it. Tempted to look at just buying the TH3D EZ board with an EZABL sensor now.

    this video is really great for setting it all, but how do you USE the bed leveling? I've enabled the lcd_bed_leveling but when I press "Prepare>Bed Leveling>Level Bed" it completes the sequence and that's it. No info on what parts of the bed were too high/low. Is that how it's supposed to run? how to I level the bed??

    • @kevinkirkpatrick5567
      @kevinkirkpatrick5567 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You need to have a line that just says "G29" in your code when you run a print and the G29 creates a mesh that your printer should use to automatically adjust the z axis to account for an unlevel bed

      I have the silent board already and am adding the BL touch tomorrow when it delivers. My best guess is that you need to start the board over with a fresh install of marlin. I don’t think there is any easy way to copy existing settings over from an old board.

    Ok I have 2 comments the first is with Marlin I followed all the steps but it didn't do a 3 by 3 probe it just probed up and down twice. and the second question is why use a bltouch in the first place if you still have to level the bed. Still not 100% sure why it is needed apart from looking cool.

    • @SpoonOfDoom
      @SpoonOfDoom 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the bed isn't perfectly level, the printer will now be able to compensate for it because it knows the precise position of the bed. (Of course it's still a good idea to set the bed as well as you can, so the printer doesn't need to move in the Z direction more than it has to).
      I think where this really comes into play is compensation for a warped bed - you can't straighten that out just by adjusting the corners.
      At least that's my understanding of this whole thing.

The auto-home moves the hotend to the rear-right as it always has still. Any suggestions?
