Noob with a Biqu B1 and BLTouch (self.3dprinting)

submitted 4 months ago by UncleStewart to c/[email protected]

I've bought myself a used Biqu B1 with a BLTouch for a fair price. The seller said that he never got the BLTouch working. Now I`m trying to get the auto leveling to work, but every tutorial and video shows the ABL option in the menu, but i do not have that option. The BLTouch is connected as every video and instruction manual shows, the sensor has flipped down a couple of times so that too is working, and the red led-light i always on. Other menu-guides shown in different internet tutorials also shows minor menu variations from my printer.

Some useful info: System: Marlin 2.1.1 Board: Bigtreetech_TFT35_B1_V3.0 Firmware: TFT35_B1_V3.0.26.x Me: Complete noob with no knowledge of 3D printing lingo

What should be done to get the ABL option in my menu?

Think I'll try to cook something up, flash it and hope to be able to recover from any failure.. Got the printer a week ago and paid like $80 for it. Looks like the bed isn't 100% flat and sinks a little in the middle so I should be great to have the BLTouch working. Not ready to give up in this one just yet.
