I have it on my ender 5 pro and it works great. Firmware was a bit of work but I brought it to the 3Dpc store and the pros that work there had it going!

Easily the best upgrade I decided to make on my Ender 3.

The setup was a little frustrating at times but once i got it set up I had no problems with it. Amazing product that really opens the door for new printing possibilities

BL Touch working great despite no instructions on how to make it work with Creality Silent Board 4.2.7. You're going to need to watch a lot of online tutorials and have a lot of patience. Get your soldering iron ready.

BL Touch sensor works amazing. Had a little trouble setting up the firmware, but that was just inexperience on my end. Found answers online and now I have auto bed leveling! Couldn't be happier.

Je ne rate plus aucun print depuis cette achat.. plug and play. Y a juste à mettre le firmware de creality sur la clé use. Et allumer l imprimante et voilà

Works great, very impressive machine

nothing much to say. took the old one off and out the new one in and away it went. now works great...ty

The BL Touch is a little tricky to get set up.

All the pieces needed to install. Reasonably straightforward with the kit. Some work to get the cable through the mesh harness to keep things neat. Now combined with the BTT SKR Mini E3 mainboard so can include more features from Marlin.

The Creality BL Touch kit is as close to Plug & Play as you can get. The bracket and cable are a perfect fit. The firmware burner cable also works perfectly with software downloaded from Creality. If you're comfortable using a few simple tools, take your time and follow the directions, the results are well worth it. If your Ender 3 mainboard is version 1.1.4 or lower, you may want to upgrade to version 1.1.5 while you have the printer apart. Mainboard v 1.1.5 makes the printer practically silent. Amazing!

I was continously tweaking and releveling my Ender 3 Pro with no results like everyone else on the net.
As soon as I installed everything and programmed it properly like mentionned in the documentation that comes with it, I did a bed leveling test, and another one, and another one. I just didn't believed how great my results were with that kit !
It's been a day now and I just can't stop printing stuff !
Seriously, GO FOR IT ! I first tought that it was too expensive... ahahahahhah ! It's so great that now, I just don't understand why Creality won't just add the cost of a kit and give them with the barebone kit.
GO FOR IT and STOP having leveling problems ! It's that great guys !!!
Don't believe me ? That's YOUR problem, not mine since my own problem is now solved ! ahahahha

Works great on my ender 3 pro!

5 Star review, but with a major Caveat...
This upgrade is without a doubt the best thing an ender 3 owner can do for themselves in terms of making the printing process as close to effortless as possible. Honestly... they should charge an extra $60 - $70 for the base printers and include one.
Prior to installing this, I had a decent enough level bed, but I still had a few "dead" spots that were finicky and if I had a large print it was hard to get the whole bed in tune. With this installed, I now have what appears to be adhesion across the whole bed without any issues.
What took this up a notch from a 4 star to a 5 star was the inclusion of a USP ISP burner that allows the firmware to be flashed on the mainboard without requiring any other hardware and/or a bootloader. It's a slightly frightening procedure, but it works in accordance with the included directions and had me up and running fairly quickly.
Now for the caveat.... if you look at the lower L/H part of my image you'll see that the top of the mainboard case seems to be raised a bit? It is... there's a design problem with this kit when it comes to where the daughterboard is situated... once it's installed it interferes with the cooling fan and prevents the top panel from being secured down. My solution was to use some M3 standoffs I had available, but there's also a printable cover on thingiverse that moves the fan location.
Don't let that issue stop you though... this is an amazing upgrade to your ender 3 printer!

Can't live without that. Should come with the Ender 3 Pro, in fact. It works great, but keep in mind this will require a firmware update (but all necessary cables to do that are included).

This sensor is the best option for any bed type from flexible, to glass, to Kapton tape. Just set your Z-offset and away you go. I have never had such a great, trouble free sensor.
I came from hall-effect type sensors to an infra-red reflective sensor, to micro switch. This is by far the last and only type of sensor I am using here on in. I like the fact that I can replace the measuring probe incase I bind it up without damaging the sensor (and having to redo my offset).
In Marlin I would recommend selecting the baby stepping option; plus tied to M851 feature, plus the animated feature for our Creality graphic displays (helps to properly dial in correct height.

After buying this I discovered there is a big difference between a completely level be and a mostly level bed. Especially in regards to bed adhesion. I honestly bought it to avoid leveling once a month but the difference is very noticeable.

Give yourself twice the amount of time you think it will take to install it properly,
Make sure you have the right firmware for your printer.
It took me a while to find the one for the Ender 3 Pro. (Not this products fault).
It was very easy to calibrate it, I finished and thought, whats the next step, but there were none.
I love the little dance it does before printing,
Comforting to know I don't need to periodically adjust and waste plastic.
I suggest this should be your first mod on your 3D printer.
Dave G.
I had the technician install & configure the sensor as my printer was a open box demo unit and fully assembled at the store. He was good to show me what I needed to do to my Cura setup to enable the sensor in my builds and even printed a small test print to show me how it all worked.
