How to uninstall 3DTouch? (self.3dprinting)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by denton to c/3dprinting
 

I installed it and everything was horrendous, I just want it uninstalled so I can get back to printing something more than spaghetti. I flashed marlin firmware for the 3d touch and I tried just removing all the files on the SD card and replacing it with the original files I'd made a copy of before changing to marlin firmware but that didn't work.

Edit I'm using an ender 3 pro (4.2.7 mainboard) without any other modifications

Edit edit fixed

Can you elaborate on what was wrong with your prints after installing? A properly configured 3DTouch will let you get an accurate bed mesh which will improve your prints, but only marginally if your bed is fairly flat to begin with. My guess would be something is off with your configuration, likely either a Z-Offset or a misconfigured mesh.

It was always either the nozzle was too close or too high no matter how much tweaking I did. I followed 3D Printscape's tutorials. I'd rather just go back to manually levelling the bed myself, my prints were all generally fine

Have you tried a repeatability test I. Your bltouch? Your mount could have to much flex in it, or you're probing too fast.
