   Installed this on my older Creality CR-10 Mini and it's working great. The CR Touch kit comes in nice packaging and includes the wiring harness, multiple adapter mounts and hardware. The instructions are better than expected, but do still lack in some areas (like Z offset). I like the look of the CR Touch better than the BL Touch. The translucent black matches my printer well. I also really like that Creality uses a metal probe, instead of plastic.
   
   The included CR-10 adapter worked perfectly and I ran the harness through the OE expandable sleeving and into the control box. My CR-10 Mini is an older one and the board didn't have the needed 5-pin connector for ABL, so I upgraded to a Creality V4.2.7 silent board and high amp MOSFET (I was aware that I'd have to do this and had the parts ready). I'm using TH3D's Unified 2 firmware with the new board and CR Touch and also swapped from glass to a PEI magnetic flexplate.
   
   My bed has the typical low spot in the middle, but the CR Touch has been very accurate and I'm getting a very consistent first layer across the entire bed now. If you're wanting to add ABL to your Creality printer I'd definitely recommend the CR Touch.

   I got this to install on an Ender 3 Pro, which I've upgraded. Installed this on a Sprite extruder. Installation was super easy as the Sprite already has the mounting bracket preinstalled. However, if you're on a stock extruder, the CR Touch kit comes with several mounting brackets covering a number of the extruders in the 3 and 5 lines.
   
   The unboxing is nice, as the kit comes in a flip top box with a magnetic lid. The probe assembly is nestled in foam, as are the mounting brackets. Below that you'll find two sets of screws and the cable. The cable the kit comes with is plenty long to reach the mainboard, with a little slack to spare. Install was maybe 10 minutes, including time to look for the proper sized hex bits.
   
   Configuration was a little more involved. However, I'm using this printer with the Creality Sonic Pad, so this required some manual Klipper configuration as my combo of upgrades aren't available as a setup choice. However, the CR Touch responded successfully via Klipper for both probe calibration and creating a bed mesh once I got the config settings correct. I've run a couple of prints and both have come out great. Action photo included of my latest running print.
   
   I've run a couple printers with BL Touch, and definitely prefer the CR. The all metal probe, along with improved retraction should result in less maintenance.
   
   One thing to consider if you're installing this on a sprite is that there is a considerable offset for both x and y axes due to the mount location. Check out github for Sprite configs that will provide the offsets.
   
   A nice addition to any printer. Hoping this will reduce the number of manual bed levels I have to do, while it appears to have already improved print quality.

   High quality prints with a pretty easy setup and build.
   
   Two things that are not in the instructions but should be done before the first test prints:
   
   Manually level the bed while at target filament temperatures using the supply paper or shims.
   
   Ensure input voltage is set to 115V for North American users, mine came preset to 230V which messed up the temperature contro on the nozzle.

   After having paid $75-200 for bed leveling kits in the past, getting this kit at this price blew my mind. The kit was very complete - including metal mounting brackets for a variety of printers, a nice long cable and even the screws needed. Installation was really straight forward, and after updating the firmware (I used a custom complied one rather than the stock Creality) bed leveling was working. I leveled the bad manually and then tweaked the Z-offset and was getting wonderful 1st layers across a slightly warped bed.
