They accomplish the same thing, but the probe itself is very different.

Taken from a helpful reddit post: *The BLtouch is based on an hall-effect sensor, while the CRtouch has an optical switch. The BLtouch has a plastic and pointy pin, while the CR has a bulkier metal pin.

The CRtouch is slightly more precise than the BLtouch with a lower deviation delta. They both are more sensitive than the minimum stepping distance of 0.025mm that is found most frequently.

The BLtouch is at its fourth (3+1) iteration, while the CRtouch has been released relatively recently. There's a lot of information on the BLtouch available on Antclab's website, while there's pretty much none for the CR.

I would go for the BL for two reasons: the smaller footprint of the probe behaves better on textured surfaces, and beacuse hall-effect sensors aren't subject to drifting when aging (unlike the optical switch in the CR, that technically "wears out" and starts introducing an offset to the measurements).*

But, will we be able to buy them when we need them? I sure hope so. There have been a few moments I really needed one and couldn't get one at less than 150% markup. I am down to one RP4b

I find all these recalls so funny. We have a vehicle that was impacted by a major recall earlier this year. They still haven't even developed the replacement part, and have given us no info on when/how it would be fixed. They recall, and get people wound up, then nothing happens for like a year.

I live in a blue state, MN. Our Governor accomplished a ton of great things in his previous term. He was reelected last fall. During that campaign, we had our state fair. His conservative challenger was running on the campaign "Walz Failed" and literally had a plane with that flying behind it on a banner all day, each day of the fair. They had people right inside each gate handing out bags that said it. Felt very ridiculous.

I read the article. It is still unclear to me if the king of this e-waste, the Acer c720 will get any new updates. They started making it in 2013....but it was made for a while. There are soooo many of these things that cannot really run chrome anymore because of one reason or another.

To play MWIII on battlenet, you bet it is. I opted not to, but that's the gimmick lately

I still have the demo discs that used to come with PC Gaming Magazine. Haha. We're old. :)

I can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation

Great song and great band! I was super into Mike Doughty's first solo album after Soul Coughing, and it was great music - but the following albums lost whatever it was that connected me to his music.

I love that cover by Cake. I listened to Goldfinger for a while and had never heard that 99 Red Balloons cover. Thanks for sharing:)

The genre's are very similar, but the song Knowledge, by Operation Ivy was covered by Green Day on their debut album - I always enjoyed that version.

Also, another favorite was when The Presidents of the United States of America covered Video Killed the Radio Star original by The Buggles.

I think back to when I started listeneing to "alternative" music, and Shine, by Collective Soul is always what plays in my head.
