      PS - my BLTouch is version 3.0. Maybe something changed with 3.1?

        I have just ordered a BLTouch version 3.1 which should arrive within a few days. I suggest I do tests using that before you send anything to me. I can't think of anything else different between your setup and mine.

          What would be a better alternative to BL-touch?

            In my opinion the IR sensor that was invented by David Crocker a.k.a DC42

            The only "restriction" is that you need to choose the print surface that it can see carefully. But due to its small size and no moving parts I feel it is the perfect solution, and for me it is, it's all I use (apart from a smart effector on my delta)

              The IR sensor works well on most uniform opaque surfaces. I advise against using it with transparent bed surfaces such as glass (except perhaps black glass) or PEI.

                it works on black textured glass the same as the creality & anycubic types, also I have it working on scuffed/sanded PEI.

                  IR sensor

                  I would love to try using IR sensor but I have already designed and print effector for BL-touch and already bought 3 of them.
                  Wait for BL-touch 3.1 arrive to you and I hope you can find a reason why all 3 sensors don't work with the ToolBoard correctly

                    as a result of frequent connections and disconnections, I have already broken 2 CAN connectors for the Toolboard . Tell me please what kind of connector it is, jst zh 4 pin 1.5 mm connector or some other?
                    And do you have a suggestion where I can buy it? I didn't find any similar connectors at filastruder and printedsolid
                    Thank you

                      Yes it's JST ZH 4-pin, widely available on eBay as well as from the usual electronic component distributors.

                      My BLTouch 3.1 has arrived, so I hope to test to with a tool board later today.

                        @dk, this thread is getting too long and has an inappropriate title, so I am starting a new one for this specific problem (Duet 3 tool board and BLTouch).
