BLTouch SM-125-1000 Extension Cable – 1m

Automatic bed levelling is an incredibly popular upgrade for 3D Printers that 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, however, it is not always an easy task to install your new BLTouch sensor. BLTouch Extension Cables like this aim to bridge the gap between your sensor and the motherboard ports it needs to reach.

The BLTouch SM-125-1000 Extension Cable is designed as a universal connection between the BLTouch sensor and a motherboard, offering 5-pin mini micro JST to JST 1.25mm headers. Be careful to pay attention to what connections your specific motherboard demands. The mini micro JST 1.25mm header on one end is the ideal connector for the BLTouch sensor. However, this SM-125-1000 Extension Cable provides another simple mini micro JST 1.25mm header on the motherboard end. If your mainboard allows for a mini micro JST port, the pins inside the housing may also need to be rearranged according to your mainboard’s design. Once you’ve sliced your wiring, the 1-meter length BLTouch SM-125-1000 Extension Cable helps make the BLTouch compatible with a wider range of printers and makes automatic bed levelling more accessible to Makers.

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.
