BLTouch SM-DU-1000 Extension Cable

Automatic bed levelling is an incredibly popular upgrade for 3D Printers as it does away with the stress of manual levelling. As with many other upgrades available, there is a wide range of automatic bed levelling sensors to choose from. One of the most popular options is the BLTouch sensor from ANTCLABS which makes use of a semiconductor hall sensor. Due to the vast and ever-expanding range of 3D Printers on the market ensuring that components such as cables reach their destination is far from easy. This is an issue that the BLTouch extension cable, which is a reach extender to ensure that the sensor can comfortably connect to the mainboard, aims to address.

The BLTouch extension cable is designed to fill the gap between the BLTouch sensor and the motherboard. The 1-meter length cable helps make the BLTouch compatible with a wider range of printers and makes automatic bed levelling more accessible to Makers. The cable comes with all the required connectors already attached including the mini micro JST connector, this means connecting the extension cable to the BLTouch requires a simple cable swap.

ANTCLABS is a fantastic brand that was founded by the relatively famous South Korean Maker known as Paris Kyung-yeon Lee, who has won multiple awards for her efforts in inventing, Making and other intellectual property related projects. And after seeing a massive gap in the 3D Printing industry for reliable bed levelling sensors, she took on the task of creating the ultimate sensor that not only measures with precision accuracy, but even gets out of the way when not in use, so as to prevent any negative effects on the print while offering optimal accuracy.

Since founding the ANTCLABS brand, the BLTouch sensor has received global recognition as being one of the best, most affordable bed levelling sensors for hobbyists. Additionally, even though the original BLTouch was excellent, Paris made the effort to improve the design even further, and now, three iterations later with the BLTouch V3.0, it not only offers the amazing value that it did originally, but also so much more with an improved pin material, better compatibility and an even simpler level of usability.
