00:00Okay, so if you've ever spent 20 minutes crawling around your printer with a piece of paper,
00:04twisting those little bed knobs and still ending up with a first layer that looks like spaghetti,
00:08this video is for you. I went digging and pulled together the top 5 auto bed leveling sensors for
00:14beginners, and honestly, the prices on a couple of these genuinely surprised me. Let's get into it.
00:21First up is the classic 3D Touch auto bed leveling sensor, the one you've probably seen
00:26on every Ender 3 upgrade list ever made. What I like about this one is that it just works with
00:31pretty much everything, Ender 3 Pro, Anet A8, TiVo, the old RepRap I3 boards, you name it.
00:37It's $11.11, it's got a 4.9 rating from nearly 5,000 buyers, and for beginners that huge community
00:44means there's a YouTube tutorial for literally any problem you hit. Now if you're on a tight budget,
00:50the TwoTrees 3D Touch sensor is honestly a little bit ridiculous, it's $2.84.
00:56That is less than a coffee. And it's still sitting at a 4.8 rating with over 4,600 sold,
01:03so it's not some sketchy no-name part. If you're nervous about your first big upgrade and you don't
01:08want to risk $20 on something you might install wrong, this is the low-stakes way to try auto
01:13leveling. Then there's the upgraded BL Touch version 3.2 kit, and this is the one I'd point
01:19most beginners toward. It comes with four different mounting brackets in the box, which sounds boring
01:24until you realize the number one thing that trips people up is not having the right mount for their
01:29hotend. It works with both 8-bit and 32-bit motherboards, it's $12.50, and it has a perfect
01:355-star rating. $12 to skip the headache is a good trade. Number four is another 3D Touch sensor,
01:43and this one sits right in the middle at $8.10. It's built for the MK8 and i3 style setups
01:49and the
01:493 Pro specifically, so if that's your machine, installation is about as straightforward as it
01:54gets. Rating is 4.8, over 4,400 sold. Basically, if the $11 one is sold out or you just
02:03want to save
02:03a few bucks without going bargain basement, this is your pick. And finally, the BigTreeTech
02:09Micro Probe. This is the step up. It's an all-metal probe, no fragile little plastic pin poking in and
02:16out, and it's noticeably more accurate and more repeatable than a standard BL Touch.
02:21It also works with Voron builds and direct-drive extruders where space is tight.
02:26At $20.45 it's the priciest here, but it's got a perfect 5-star rating, and if you're printing a
02:32lot, that reliability pays for itself fast. All the links are down in the description,
02:37so go grab whichever one fits your printer. If this helped you out, hit that like button and

02:46Thanks for watching, and happy printing!
