CR Touch Auto Leveling Kit for Ender Series - Reliable Bed Leveling

In this review of the CR Touch Auto Leveling Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for Ender and CR series owners who want more consistent first layers without manual shim work. It delivers a dependable multi-point probe that records height at each detection point, improving print quality across PEI, sticker, glass, and metal beds. Installation requires a firmware update via TF/SD card but avoids ISP burners, and the package includes a replacement probe plus Creality after-sales support if issues arise.

Key Features

• Auto multi-point detection: The probe performs multi-point detection and records platform heights to correct bed tilt and small irregularities for better first-layer adhesion.
• Durable design: Components are built for long service life and the probe can be reused more than 100,000 times, reducing replacement frequency.
• Wide material compatibility: Works reliably with PEI, sticker, glass, metal and other common 3D printing platform materials for flexible bed choices.
• Firmware update via TF/SD: Users update the printer by copying the CR Touch program to the TF/SD card and inserting it into the machine, avoiding the need for an ISP burner.
• Broad printer support: Specifically compatible with Ender 3, Ender 3 V2, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 Max, Ender 5 and CR-10 models that use 32 bit V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 mainboards.
• Included spare probe: The kit ships with one full auto-leveling set and a replacement probe to minimize downtime if the tip wears.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hobbyists and small workshop owners running Creality Ender series or CR-10 printers with 32 bit V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 boards who want to improve print consistency and reduce time spent manually leveling the bed. It is particularly useful for users who switch bed surfaces often or who print larger first layers that reveal leveling errors.

Less suitable are users with non-compatible mainboards, those unwilling to perform a firmware update, or people who prefer mechanical leveling for maximum control. Advanced users who need custom probing behavior or alternate sensor types may want to compare other leveling solutions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improves print quality by compensating platform height variations across multiple points.
• Easy firmware update process via TF/SD card with no ISP burner required.
• Durable probe design with claimed reuse over 100,000 cycles and a spare included.
• Compatible with a broad set of bed materials for flexible printing setups.

Cons

• Installation and setup can be mixed in difficulty for some users, as firmware updates and mechanical mounting still require care.
• Compatibility is limited to printers with the specified 32 bit V4.2.2 or V4.2.7 mainboards.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The CR Touch kit is a practical, cost-effective upgrade for Ender and CR-10 owners who want more consistent first layers without complex electronics. Its broad bed compatibility, durable probe, and simple TF/SD firmware update make it a smart choice for most hobbyists, though installers should be comfortable following firmware and mounting steps. Overall it offers good value for improving print reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with an Ender that has a 32 bit V4.2.2 mainboard?
Yes, it is explicitly compatible with printers using the 32 bit V4.2.2 and V4.2.7 mainboards listed in the product description.

Do I need an ISP burner to install the kit?
No, the kit uses a TF/SD card firmware update method so an ISP burner is not required for supported boards.

Is the probe compatible with glass and PEI beds?
Yes, the probe is designed to work with PEI, sticker, glass, metal and other common bed materials.
