Looks like a good deal for $30. The pros - accurate and fast. Cons, steel sheet required and setup seems difficult. Thanks for your continued research and videos on subjects that don't seemed to be covered by other channels

Cool, looked like an instant buy for me, just have to bookmark this to watch again.

I love your videos, keep up the good work

That is a really great product! Super fast scanning, so for the larger beds it would really safe some time. I'll have to look into one once the Trident is built, maybe even incorporate the mount into the tool head, maybe near the part cooling duct. And thanks for the python tip, that is extremely useful!

You should set your mesh_min and mesh_max so your probe isn't reading off the edge of the bed. Great video.

The bed level sensor tutorial was great, but the tip about the web server was next level. Thanks much for this video! Vive la Python!

Thank you for this, I have this sensor at home more than 6 months now, and could not manage to work. Now I think I have a new standard to make it work.

nice video my dude always nice to see some new tech!!

Super important to realize that a sensor or mesh can be totally wrong as well. I had this with the settings for my BLTouch and Ender, it looked like my Ender-glass bed was warped and it never created a nice layer. Until I just started to assume the bed was flat and the probe wrong, manually leveled and disabled the probe... perfect first layer! :) I eventually had to resort to 3 probe points per location and a different mesh technique. Way slower than this though, but I would be as wary now after having learned this.

Just recently got one of these to check out but havent had the chance to install. Looks super promising. :)

So this probe is 0.12mm from the bed when the probe is on the bed ... that's not even a single layer difference or likely even less than the variation of height of the bed, so I'd be constantly worried of it hitting the printed part during print. I'm running my own variation to the Klicky on my Ender 3 (similar to the KlackEnder) and love that I never have to worry about the print being hit by it (as it just isn't mounted during the print) and how it adapts to any surface-swap, metal or not ...

Really interesting. Kind of like the Beacon, but way cheaper to buy, especially for me here in Norway.

Can you flash that board over USB with STM32 dfu mode? I always find that easier than sd card flashinf

I doesn’t seem to do live adjust in Klipper yet, only Marlin. Looked impressive though. I bought one to tinker with simply based on the speed. I have a large bed (400x400mm), so hoping this would speed up the bed leveling. Thanks for the vids!

Hi Chris, my sensor hight is about 0.6-0.7 but when I do the calibration it's over the 400. How can I fix this because the nozzle is to close the bed thx.

No idea how this exactly works (maybe something capacitive or inductive). If they could make one that fits around the nozzle they could even real time during the first layer get the bed mesh measured and correct live, no scanning at all.

@ ChrisRiley Hey Chris, I adjust my height until I get my first calibration results in the 100's but everytime i calibrate My second result is less then the first. What am i doing wrong?

I was going to order one of these but it has 2 connector options. The web site doesn't do a very good job of explaining the difference. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm going to order one as soon as I can figure out the connector options.

Any one figure out how to make it probe faster with Screws_Tilt_Calculate? Moves down so slow

Impressive probe, very fast (probing off bed and short in x, mesh_min, mesh_max not set?). I use the mesh graphic to adjust the bed screws to set the bed level... With this probe giving readings in real time, you could have a script to level/trim the bed by adjusting the mount screws in real time...

I wonder how this acts with temp changes.. Could be interesting to put in the default location on say.. a Voron vs a beacon

This doesn't work for be, I've tried following your video, also the steps in github, but I keep getting the error Option 'control_pin' in section 'bltouch' must be specified

After watching this great video, I purchased one of this BDsensor. After 2 months, it's arrived (in Hungary) However, I have a little configuration problem, and I wouldbe glad if you could help me. I have changed the settings in the printer.cfg file according to the video. (the old sensor was original BLtouch. After restart, the following error reported: "Option 'control_pin' in section 'bltouch' must be specified" (even after I completely delete the BLtouch section) What is missing? Please help me. Thx ain advance.

So i am curious about something... if someone is using canbus on their printers.... right? would i just need to recompile klipper on the "mainboard" That i am plugging that sensor into? so if i was connecting it up to my sb2209 on my voron, would it only need to be installed on that sb2209? or would i need to install it onto my actual motherboard? or would i need to recompile my motherboard, sb2209, and my canhat?

Hi Chris's, is the same process for a manta m8p board?

Hi Chris, thank you for you video, really helpfull for me. My config have one EBB36 CAN Bus and all elements are connected to it. In you video you dont have covered this kind of wiring, could you please update your video with the way to ocompile the new firmware to programm the EBB36 Thank you in advance

I receive this error ...." Bed Distance Sensor data error:10.24 "

Hey Chris. I have noticed some issues with kiauh as of late. I tried to flash klipper on a pi 3b and it keeps failing. I also tried to install 2 instances using kiauh on my pad 7 and also had all kinds of issues. I have heard since the updates that a lot of people are having issues. Is it possible that it is also affecting the kiauh tool? I have been trying for 3 days now with no luck.

Do you just download a fresh copy of klipper just so you can reflash the board? Im using a Vcore 3 with RatOS (custom install). Just want to double check before i even buy one

Got one of these coming for my vzbot to replace the Bltouch. Have this video saved to reference later.

Thank you for the video,I got one of these a few months back but never got around to installing,mainly because the lack of information surrouding it. Im using an ender 3 s1 pro with sonic pad,will the bd sensor work on this? As far as im aware it uses klipper and marlin so not sure if it will give me live information? Thank you for your time

How is this different than beacon? Does it use eddy currents?

Can I still use screws_tilt_calculate? Also will a pei build plate be ok to use?

Looks like I may just have a bad sensor :( got everything working and the m102 S-1 tells me the info but the light doesn't come on when I bring it close to my PEI bed Update: Looks like bad internal soldering, the sensor came off :/, but I did get to see the light come on, so just need a new sensor!

Great video, i still prefer the capacitive sensors. My original beta cr10s pro still has its capacitive sensor working like a champ. Was unfortunate creality did such a poor job on educating users on the way to set them up. They got a bad reputation for being bad , but in 3 years i only ever identified 1 that had mechanically failed with a user.......

It actively levels while printing?

i receive BED DISTANCE DATA ERROR 10.24

So real time leveling works only on marlin still ?

I'm having a problem with the make command. I'm getting this warning when I run make In function 'canboot_reset', inlined from 'try_request_canboot' at src/generic/armcm_reset.c: 41:5: src/generic/armcm_reset.c:24:49: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bou nds of 'uint32_t[0:]' [-Warray-bounds] uint64_t *boot_sig = (uint64_t *) (bl_vectors [1] - 9); In function 'canboot_reset', inlined from 'command_reset' at src/generic/armcm_reset.c: 47:5: src/generic/armcm_reset.c:24:49: warning: array subscript 0 is outside array bou nds of 'uint32_t[0:]' [-Warray-bounds] uint64_t *boot_sig = (uint64_t *) (bl_vectors [1] - 9); lto-wrapper: warning: using serial compilation of 5 LTRANS jobs lto-wrapper: note: see the '-flto' option documentation for more information And when I try to flash the created firmware, it doesn't flash. Any idea what's happening ?

Seems it scans outside the bed on the left side, and too far from the edge on the right?

Please Test the Sensor with KAMP.

/usr/bin/python: No module named http

If they don't come up with some novel way of having the machine toolhead pick up the sensor it's not going to be widely adopted like the Klicky probes. Beyond that, the leveling routine looks really painless. This needs a quickmount.

thanks for the video!.. now i know its not for me.. all my printers have aluminum beds with glass on top. and the install is good for young people. I dont want to spend time typing into the console.. so the setup is a nogo. As for the server in python, there is a much easier way. Flash drive with memcard into the usb port. I go onto the desktop of the pi with rustdesk, open the file manager and copy and paste the file onto the flashdrive. i then take the mem card and put it into the printer. no typing involved. except for compiling.. but thats only 1 line with kiauh. elder people like me (65+) dont have time to waste and typing in endless lines of code. We want to click and play, and have good printing results out of the box. thats why every printer has its own pi 4, with 8 gig of ram and a 256gb ssd to boot from. But i am very gratefull for your video, because it shows me that this product is nothing for me. Luc
