i have a Folger 20/20 i3 up and running. Wanting the add bed leveling. Found information on setting it up Marlin and the printed servo parts. I am needing some basic information from the start. Can't find an explanation of operation and parts needed. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Buy a bltouch that will act as a z stop and allow you to use auto leveling feature
Otherwise the one provided is doing the job for me (still waiting for my bltouch to arrive).

Similar to what Roxy suggested above, when printing a new x-carriage due to a leadscrew upgrade, I took the opportunity to add a small section to the bottom that would take an M3 bolt. Makes it much easier to fine-tune the Z stop position.

YesI put the hotend fan on 12v with a switch this way I can enable the fan only when I'm printing. We could also use others pins to have auto fan for hotend but for now this is how I deal with. And the cooling fan is wired on d9.

1) Shortening the wires. I'm not looking forward to splicing/soldering tens of wires. Is there a place to buy the connectors so I can just cut the ends and crimp the new connectors on?

Boffster, can you post your source and .STL files for the new x-carriage? I want to print one!

So I got the BLTouch and installed it on my FT 2020. Everything seems to work well except one small detail: when I run the G29 for auto level (after a successful G28 auto home), the BLTouch goes into "alert" mode immediately and from there the Z axis only goes up for each of the 9 points. Has anyone else experienced this?

Apologies, if I misread the question or missed the sarcasm.
D9, a PWM, output pin(s) has a positive pin and a negative pin. Isn't D9 12-35V? Most of us are running 12V setups. I think these 40 mm cooling fans are also rated 12V. D9 is controlled by GCode, M106 and M107.
The command M106 S255 would turn the fan on to max speed. (M106 S123 about half speed)
