using version 4.0.6 on my maker select plus I set up the bl touch sensor got the z height and found the correct sensor settings but when I try to auto level at the 3/9 touchdown of the sensor I get the leveling failed message. what am i doing wrong?
You have to describe in more details your setup.
The offsets are x=-30 y=-65 z=0.44 I’m sorry I don’t know what settings you mean
Can you describe in details everything you have made to install the BLTouch. If you can post pictures, it is better.
I used the 1.5 Meter cable it had dirrerent colors but i figured it out
Your BLTouch does not look like a genuine one. Where do you buy it?
Sorry, but this does not say where it come from (which vendor). They are a lof of fake BLTouch on Amazon. ADVi3++ supports only genuine sensors and I do not provide support for fake ones.
Hi,
I have a MMSP printer and a BLTouch 3.1 also. My Z offset is -1.56mm. It will not work a with a positive offset. A negative Z offset means that, as the Z axis travels down, the probe triggers before the nozzle touches the bed.
Best.

Still not sure you have a genuine sensor (the colors looks strange). But let assume it is. What is exactly the problem: is it always at the same point?
It can also help if you connect a terminal. Very likely, the firmware is sending a message on the serial port when the leveling fails. So it may help tracking the problem.
Sorry the offset was -0.44. Now I have to figure out how to fix my heat block. It moves slightly and I have to take it apart and figure it out. Also I have a x-axis set screw that is stripped that I need to remove and replace
Sorry to bother you but I have some physical repairs to make before I can continue to install the bl touch. Thanks for your support
after manually leveling w/ BL touch mainboard 4.0.6 hex I uploaded the bl touch 3 mainboard hex.
when i tried to get z height the sensor rose to the top of the axis. Then i tried ti manually bring the z axis down to the bed and get the z height it only rose 85mm above the bed. what am I doing wrong
But what happened to the problems you mentioned earlier. How do you solve them?
I had to reinstall my heat block and k-Swiss feeder tube and then put it together and followed instructions on utube until I got to the point that I’m at now
first fixing my hardware problem then by installing the hex file without bl touch after manually leveling w/o BL touch mainboard 4.0.6 hex I uploaded the bl touch 3 mainboard hex.

after setting custom offsets at X=-30 Y=-65 and z=-12.52 thye autolevel works but the sensor is at 85mm above the board
