Six popular ABL probes compared: Accuracy, price, wiring and more!

I was asked to try out an infrared ABL probe that I hadn't featured before, and compare it to popular ABL probes. In this video, I put the Aus3D IR Z probe, BLtouch, EZABL, superPINDA, Touch Mi and a miroswitch to the test to compare accuracy, pisces, ease of installation and more. The results are a big win for 3D printer owners overall. 0:00 Introduction Previous video by Tom Sanladerer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il9bNWn66BY 0:41 Why you might want an ABL probe 1:29 Selection of probes to be tested Creality CR Touch: https://www.creality3dofficial.com/products/creality-cr-touch Video on manual mesh bed levelling: https://youtu.be/vcxM7-VK44k 2:34 Testing methodology Standard deviation wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation 4:38 Detachable microswitch 5:29 Aus3D IR Z probe 1.4 IR Z probe wiki: https://wiki.aus3d.com.au/IR_Probe_1.4 Purchase from Aus3D: https://aus3d.com.au/ir-z-probe Purchase from 3defined (UK/EU): https://www.3defined.co.uk/products Duet IR sensor: https://www.duet3d.com/IRProbe 6:49 Antclabs BLtouch Product page: https://www.antclabs.com/bltouch-v3 My free BLtouch guide for Marlin webpage: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/upgrades.html#bltouch Purchase from Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Ozfby2 Purchase from Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A4eE8G Purchase from Banggood: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/vKGElYm2F7 Purchase from eBay: https://ebay.us/xfwSXM 8:24 TH3D EZABL Pro Purchase the EZABL Pro: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ezabl-pro-plug-print-auto-bed-leveling-kit/?share=lawgicau Previous video on EZABL Prol: https://youtu.be/-ZTBdAFMxZE 9:50 Prusa superPINDA Purchase from Prusa: https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/spare-parts/1396-superpinda.html superPINDA wiring: https://github.com/prusa3d/Original-Prusa-MINI/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION/ELECTRONICS/mini-SuperPINDA.pdf 10:49 Touch Mi Purchase the Touch Mi: https://www.hotends.fr/en/home/64-capteur-auto-leveling-touch-mi.html Previous video on Touch Mi: https://youtu.be/V3zEJGOcz7s 11:59 Comparison of results My results spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WBiVcpveZ6M4_9UFFYqyIkRJ9Zl8H9jsew6h-QpCWnI/edit?usp=sharing Human hair image credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair#/media/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_8115_Human_hair_and_Merino_wool_fibre.jpg 13:04 Which is the best?
