BLTouch SM-XD-1500 Extension Cable – 1.5m

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-XD-1500 Extension Cable is designed to connect the BLTouch sensor with a motherboard that allows for DuPoint and JST-XH ports. The 1.5-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 provides a mini micro JST connector to fit into the BLTouch itself. However, on the dual end of the cable, the provided headers must connect into the servo and z-min end stop ports of your motherboard. Be careful to pay attention to what connections your specific motherboard demands. The end stop ports might require a 2 or 3 pin header, depending on the main board’s design. This cable provides a DuPoint 3-pin header and a JST-XH 3-pin header (with only 2 pins in use) for your motherboard connections. This means, connecting the SM-XD-1500 Extension Cable with the correct pin headers to your 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.
