After setting up the BLTouch in firmware, you need to activate the leveling function for every print by inserting the leveling G-code 'G29' in the start G-code script of your slicer. The code should be placed directly after command G28
.
Note that you can test the working of the sensor from the printer display: sensor can be deployed, stowed, reset and tested.
An alternative is to use the G29
and M500
command once in a while (for beds that don't change, don't get handled by excessive force and/or are operated at the same temperature) or store the shape of the bed through the display interface and put the command M420 S1
in your start G-code instead.
G29
in your start G-code script? $\endgroup$
