### __Don't forget to post your *I Made One* !!__ ### Change log ``` UPDATE 17/10/21 : Added picture & instructions for cabling. UPDATE 17/08/06 : Configurations added. UPDATE 17/08/02 : Bootloader reflashed, marlinfw reflashed, lets measure the right coordinates now ! UPDATE 17/07/30 : I bricked my printer while changing the firmware ... I'm reflashing it with an arduino as ISP ``` ## Configuration Of course you need : `#define BLTOUCH` #### Probe offsets (you may have adjust the Z position to you own probe z offset) : ```c //ANET A6 with BLTouch/3D-Touch Front mount // (mount: https://https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451350) #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -9 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle] #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -56 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle] #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.7 // Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle] ``` #### Probing limits : ```c #define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (0 + MIN_PROBE_EDGE) #define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (X_MAX_POS + X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER) #define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (0 + MIN_PROBE_EDGE) #define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION (Y_MAX_POS + Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER) ``` You can also `#define PROBE_Y_FIRST` to reduce the stress on you prototyping wiring ;-) And if you are using [octoprint](http://octoprint.org/), you can probably disable the SD Card by commenting out : `#define SDSUPPORT`. ## Cabling : - *IDC 10 pins* connector 1 of both genders : wire 7 ; - *JST XH 3pins* female ; - *Dupont 1pin* 1 of bot gender. then follow the colors of the wires on the pictures. **Note:** Brown goes to black too. ### Side Notes : I'm using only 3 grid points on a linear bed levelling. I am printing on a borosilicate glass bed, I don't know if more point are needed.
