Automatic Bed Levelling has quickly spiked in popularity within the Maker Community, even becoming stock standard on a few recent 3D Printer models. Clever sensors like the BLTouch V3.1 allow Makers to do what they do best without the constant need to relevel the bed. The BLTouch maps out your bed surface and adjusts your nozzle as it prints. However, any upgrade to your 3D Printer requires planning or you may find you are missing crucial cabling to install your new BLTouch device. This BLTouch V3.1 Auto Levelling Kit includes an 80cm extension cable and necessary components to connect to your BTT SKR V1.3 Pro Controller.
This BLTouch kit is supplied for the BTT SKR V1.3 Pro Controller for you to update your 3D Printer with one of the best automatic bed levelling systems. The latest BLTouch Smart V3.1 Sensor is the 2019 Edition of the world-famous Bed Levelling Sensors, and is a great example of how ANTCLABS continues to update their products as the need arises. And in addition to the major improvements of increased compatibility and more consistent accuracy, the new 2019 BLTouch also features a range of other improvements too. This BLTouch V3.1 Auto Levelling Kit is ready with connector components and 80cm extension cable to install with BigTreeTech SKR controller boards, including the Octopus V1.0 and SKR V1.3 Pro Controllers
Please Note: While this BLTouch Kit from BigTreeTech is equipped for the SKR and Octopus boards, we cannot guarantee it will be suitable for your 3D Printer. Please be sure to properly measure and inspect your printer’s properties to ensure it can support this upgrade. If you are looking for better options to suit your 3D Printer’s needs, take a look at Creality’s BLTouch Sensor Kit, the BLTouch Smart V3.1 without cable, and the BLTouch 1m Extension Cable.

Typical Applications for the BLTouch Smart V3.1 Auto Bed Levelling Sensor:
The BLTouch Smart V3.1 is an all-round great tool that makes bed levelling simple, easy and automatic with the right settings. This allows you more time to focus on other factors that affect print quality, without having to waste any time adjusting the bed level or calibrating the Z-height before each and every print.
And finally, just to sweeten the already-amazing deal that these sensors offer, there is a surprisingly large online community that is always ready to help newcomers with a wealth of information, guides and insights for almost any 3D Printers on the market. So don't be scared to reach out, as you will not only find other like-minded individuals who are eager to help, but also a range of different articles and collections of knowledge and experience for you to utilise, which is invaluable in an open-source industry such as 3D printing.
Additional Resources:
- For more information about all the versions of the popular BLTouch Sensor, the official ANTCLABS Documentation History page is a valuable resource.
- The BLTouch Smart V3.0 Sensor Documentation and User Guide is also a recommended resource for getting started.
As one of the rising stars in the world of 3D Printer Component Research and Development, BigTreeTech have certainly hit the ground running, entering the market in 2015 and spending their early stages primarily learning, researching, testing and developing, before producing some truly impressive results. From simple but effective upgrades to standard parts, all the way through to completely custom parts that no other brand offered at the time, BigTreeTech now have an incredibly diverse range, with almost no area of 3D Printing being left out.
Some of BigTreeTech’s most notable additions to the world of 3D Printing include the SKR Motherboard Range for numerous different 3D Printer models, the awesome TFT Touch Display Range with fancy features like dual-mode operation, as well as their very impressive Stepper Driver Range that cater to all tastes and preferences under the sun. And of course, to top it all off, BigTreeTech also have a sister company named BIQU, and we must admit that they have been producing some pretty impressive (and low price) 3D Printers, with the BIQU B1 possibly becoming a new rival to the Ender 3.
Of course, it’s easy to see that BigTreeTech are modern masters of 3D Printing R&D, and while we do still have a lot of different parts that we want to test out from them, so far we’ve been extremely happy with what they’re capable of producing – all while fitting into same kind of hobbyist budget that they used to operate on as Makers and Tinkerers themselves.
