{"product_id":"creality-cr-touch-cable","title":"Creality CR-Touch Cable","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour printer starts auto-levelling, the CR-Touch pin drops, and then nothing. Or you get a \"probing failed\" error halfway through the mesh, or the nozzle crashes into the bed because the probe never triggered. Before you replace the probe itself, check the short cable that connects it to the toolhead board. A pinched, loose or broken lead stops a perfectly good probe from working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis genuine Creality CR-Touch cable, part number 3103100093, is the short 5-pin lead that connects a CR-Touch probe to the toolhead board on Sprite extruder printers such as the Ender-3 S1 series and CR-10 Smart Pro. It also fits a BLTouch on the same toolhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug it in, and your auto-levelling works again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Creality Part 3103100093 | 5-Pin Connector Both Ends | 1.25 mm Pitch | Probe to Toolhead Board | Works with CR-Touch and BLTouch | Plug-In, No Soldering | Fits Sprite Extruder Printers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Creality CR-Touch cable is built for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHobbyist Makers fixing auto-levelling faults\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour Ender-3 S1 has stopped levelling, and you are not sure whether the probe or its cable is at fault. This inexpensive part lets you rule out the cable first, before you spend more on a new probe. Swap it in 10 minutes, run a 5 x 5 bed mesh and, if the probe triggers cleanly at every point, you are back to printing a full-plate first layer without a single manual adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgraders fitting a Sprite extruder or new probe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have fitted a Sprite extruder kit to an older Ender-3, Ender-3 Pro or Ender-3 V2, or bought a replacement probe that arrived without a cable. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/3dprintingstore.co.za\/products\/creality-cr-touch-auto-levelling-probe\"\u003eCreality CR-Touch Auto Levelling Probe\u003c\/a\u003e we sell ships with screws but no cable, so this lead completes the install. Connect the probe to the Sprite toolhead board and finish the upgrade in one sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrint farms and schools keeping spares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbe cables on moving toolheads take thousands of flex cycles, and they get caught during nozzle changes and cleaning. A cracked lead can take a printer offline for days if you have to order one. Keep two or three on the shelf and a failed cable becomes a 10-minute job, so a classroom or farm printer is back on a full day's queue before lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sets this Creality CR-Touch cable apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe fastest fix for \"probing failed\" errors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuto-levelling needs a clean signal between the probe and the board. On Sprite extruder printers, this short cable carries power, ground, the servo control signal and the trigger signal back to the board. A single broken strand or a loose crimp gives intermittent faults that look like a failing probe, so the probe deploys but the printer never sees it trigger. Replacing the cable is the cheapest first step in diagnosing a probe that will not work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine 5-pin, 1.25 mm pitch connectors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable uses 5-position female connectors at both ends with a 1.25 mm pitch, the same as the factory part. That small pitch is why generic DuPont-style leads from a BLTouch kit will not fit the Sprite toolhead board. Because this is the genuine Creality part, the plugs seat fully and lock in place, without the loose fit of an incorrectly sized \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electrical_connector\"\u003eelectrical connector\u003c\/a\u003e that could work free during fast travel moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks with CR-Touch and BLTouch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CR-Touch and BLTouch use the same 5-wire layout, so this cable connects either probe to a Sprite toolhead board. If you prefer a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/3dprintingstore.co.za\/products\/genuine-bl-touch-bed-levelling-sensor\"\u003eGenuine BL Touch Bed Levelling Sensor\u003c\/a\u003e on your Sprite extruder, this lead links it to the board without re-pinning. Your printer's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marlin_(firmware)\"\u003eMarlin firmware\u003c\/a\u003e must still be set up for the probe you fit, which is already the case on S1 series printers that shipped with a CR-Touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA clean, short run that stays out of the way\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the probe and board are both mounted on the toolhead, the cable only needs to bridge a short gap. A short lead keeps excess wire away from the nozzle, heater block and part-cooling fan, where a loop of cable can snag on a print or melt against the hotend. It routes neatly behind the toolhead cover, as Creality intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull specifications: Creality CR-Touch cable 3103100093\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 6px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 6px; text-align: left;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCreality (genuine part)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCR-Touch cable for Sprite extruder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCRE738\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e3103100093\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eConnectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e5-position female, both ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eConnector pitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e1.25 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eWires\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e5 (power, ground, servo control, trigger signal, ground)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCable length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eShort toolhead lead, approx. 10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eProbe to Sprite toolhead board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003ePlug-in, no soldering or crimping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eFirmware change\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eNot required for a like-for-like replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eProbes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCreality CR-Touch, Antclabs BLTouch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003ePrinters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eEnder-3 S1, Ender-3 S1 Pro, Ender-3 S1 Plus, CR-10 Smart Pro, and Ender-3, Ender-3 Pro, Ender-3 V2 or Ender-3 Max fitted with a Creality Sprite extruder kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eNot suitable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eProbe-to-mainboard cable runs on printers without a Sprite toolhead board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering, shipping and support for the Creality CR-Touch cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe courier this Creality CR-Touch cable to any address in South Africa, or you can collect it from our Centurion or Boksburg store.

If you are replacing the probe on a Sprite extruder printer and your existing cable is damaged, order this cable at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it reach from the probe to the mainboard on a standard Ender-3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this is a short toolhead lead for printers with a Sprite extruder board. On a standard Ender-3, Pro or V2 with the original extruder, the probe connects to the mainboard through a much longer cable, so this part is not the right choice for that setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMy probe deploys but the printer says probing failed. Is it the cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt often is. Check that both plugs are fully seated, then look for kinks or pinched wires near the toolhead. Gently flex the cable while sending M119, and if the probe status flickers, the cable is faulty. If a new cable does not fix it, test the probe itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with a BLTouch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the BLTouch uses the same 5-wire layout, so this cable connects it to a Sprite toolhead board. Make sure your firmware is set for BLTouch, and mount the probe with a bracket that sets the correct pin height above the nozzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you keep these in stock in South Africa?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we stock genuine Creality CR-Touch cables locally, ship nationwide by courier and handle any warranty claims in South Africa, so you are not waiting on an overseas order for a small but critical part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Creality","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52616603795743,"sku":"CRE738","price":299.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0800\/0031\/files\/CRE738.png?v=1791375870","url":"https:\/\/3dprintingstore.co.za\/products\/creality-cr-touch-cable","provider":"3D Printing Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
