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) :

//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 :

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, 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.
