I used this video 6 months ago when i first got my glass bed. This is the only video on youtube that made sense to me. Here i am today, with a brand new PEI bed. And then I can’t for the life of me remember what I need to do to make this work again. And then i re found this video, and i fixed it. Thank you so much.

This video should come with the purchase of every BLTouch. Best explanation I've heard on this, in the perfect "explain like I'm 5" format. Thank you!

Man I've been searching for days to find a video this good, that explained everything flawlessly and is so simplified..... why has nobody else done this? kudos to you Sir 👍

Finally someone that shows the damned lcd screen ! Fantastic explanation of what ends up being simple process that many channels make sound harder than it really is or go off on a tangent right when the viewer is trying to learn a particular part of the process.

i've never understood why this is so hard for people to explain, thank you, super straight forward.

Man this is such a good video. Watching this three years after it was posted, with a cr touch instead of a bl touch and it just works after doing this. 10/10

PERFECT EXPLANATION BROTHER! i looked at 100 different reddit posts and nobody explained it like you did, much thanks!! ❤❤❤❤

Best explanation of Z-offset by far on YT. Thanks a ton!

My recently purchased Ender 3 Pro has a different LCD display to yours. Some controls are there but in different places. How do you get the graphics to turn on?. Also, when I save the settings it does not beep. I read that some machines actually have a control to switch the beeper on or off. Mine does not seem to have it. After following these instructions carefully my printer is still attempting to print about 3 mm above the bed. I have a BLTouch fitted and upgraded the firmware to Ver.4.2.2. This printer usually worked well with the slicer supplied with the kit but I have not been able to get 1 successful print using Cura. It was going well with the standard slicer until I fitted a Creality glass bed and then after resetting the Z stop switch everything went haywire and now all I get is squashed prints. I removed the glass bed as I could not get proper adhesion. Tried using hair spray, and then glue stick with little success. I am using PETG with 245 nozzle and 70 bed and 50% fan. I have now given up on the glass bed. Any successful prints must have a raft. I could not get adhesion using brim, or no raft. Most videos I see where they show the LCD screen the displays are different and in some cases my printer does not even have some of the controls mentioned. I cannot find anything in the standard software or Cura where I can control the number of 1st layers or the Z offset. Maybe the units sold in Australia have different firmware to the US models. Any assistance would be appreciated.

@@barryrsahrp This isn't my printer, although I do have an Ender 3 Pro. I use PETG with the original bed and it usually works fine, with an occasional adhesion issue. I also use Octopi so I don't use the screen a whole lot, just for basic functions. Mine beeps. Lastly, not sure what you mean by "standard slicer"... I don't think any of the Ender 3 models have a built in slicer do they?

I laughed out loud by the while pointing at an ender, its so true.

Complete 3D printing newbie here, and this was by far the most useful video out there by far. Explained the z-offset very well, much appriciated!

The best, short and precise explanation to fix this issue. A genius man, Thanks a lot !

this was way better than the top 2 videos for cr touch.

Far and away the best video I have seen to this point explaining the operation of the BL touch. I dont have an ender, have a Voxelab Aquila and have been trying to find info. This gets me a lot closer to understanding the objective. Appreciate it much - thanks.

Seriously man this is the best and only video to explain the process I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to do this and to do it better than anyone else, bar none.

Finally, a BLTouch video that shows you A) what the Z offset is B) how to find what it should be and C) how to actually set it in the menus. Thanks man.

Thank you so much for this. This is by far the most concise and informative video out there when it comes to the BLT. I was having a rough time getting things exactly right after replacing my springs and adding the auto-leveling, but with this insight it was a piece of cake!

I've been struggling with this for days, at last a simple explanation which works. I was thinking of uninstalling the BL touch and going back to manual bed levelling.

I was looking for someone that was able to explain this for dummies. This is indeed, just as other are telling, by far the best explanation I was able to find. Thank you very much for this detailed explanation and therefore, many super good looking prints because of it!

I can't describe how thankful I am that your video exists. I had given up on 3D printing for a very long time and decided to get my printer running again. I spent hours trying to figure out why it was having issues and everyone had a solution, none of them worked. within 5 mins of your video, I was up and running. I have a test print going right now and I don't see any problems so far. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I am very new at 3d printing. I've only had my Ender 3 for a week. I wish that the instructions that came with my BLTouch referenced anything about this z-offset! I installed my BLTouch at the same time I installed a removable magnetic bed. Nothing would stick to the bed. I was talking with the seller of the bed about returning the item as I didn't think it worked when I came across this video. This video is exactly what the issue was! After a few minutes messing with the settings, which were a little different for my Ender 3 v2 and firmware, I am printing my first test and it works great! Thanks a million!

This is the BEST video on this topic on youtube. Many thanks.

I want to thank you. I bought, out together and set up my new Cr-10 pro v2. Leveled the bed and no matter how many times I did it, couldn't get the PLA to stick. This is my first printer BTW. Your explanation of the offset process is what fixed my problem. So much for doing things at 3 in the morning on little sleep. Thank you for an easy to follow, although different set up. Perfect benchy right away.

This video deserves a million more views. Hands down the best and simplest explanation.

I’m still very confused so when the sensor touches the plate the nozzle is high above the plate? I thought the nozzle was for bed leveling

@CopyLion

​@@shaark_1396 The pin of your BLTouch must be higher than the nozzle when stowed and lower than the nozzle when expanded. So wherever the pin hits the bed that point will be marked as z0, given you have used BLTouch instead of z homing switch to mark z0 Z offset = [difference from that z0 measured by the pin to the nozzle tip], also equals to how much lower z has to go for the nozzle to reach the bed. The more negative z offset is, the bigger the difference between the expanded pin and nozzle tip.

This is the best explanation by miles that I've found. Lots of other tutorials have steps omitted and don't explain properly. Thank you

Just a fantastic video. I didn't even know what a z offset was but I gathered enough information to know I probably needed to adjust mine. Good explanation of the concepts, clear and concise, and a reasonable length video. Thanks!

Even 3 years later this video remains the best explanation of z-offset ive found! I can't wait to re-tram and get my Ender 3v2 with CR-Touch dialed in tomorrow!

I know there has been a plethora of comments already stating this, but I spent all day looking at different videos, manuals, graphs, man I don't even know...While they were okay, none helped me do this. Yours did and I'm eternally grateful my friend. Have a like and sub and all that jazz, you most definitely deserve it. God bless, have a nice day!

You've made this look so amazingly simple, compared to other videos I have seen. Let's just clear this up, I am a total noob at 3d printing. I am a game streamer/content creator so this is outside my expertise. However, more and more people have asked for me to get into this so I can print gaming logos, statues etc so I said yes. By far amazing........ Point is, this is really new to me and I'm sl glad I've found your channel so I can continue improving my ender 3. You're amazing dude!
