Creality Ender 3 New Upgrade Motherboard Silent Mainboard V4.2.7 with TMC2208 Driver for Ender 3/ Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5 /CR-10(Customized and Non-Standard Matching)

This was bought to replace the standard motherboard on my Creality Ender 5 Plus.Ordered in place of the motherboard that Creality recommended on their website (which didn’t fit my ended 5 Plus!) and I couldn’t be happier!Changing boards is simple when you watch the right YouTube video and it worked with no issues. We did a comparison before and afterwards for sound difference, and now I struggle to tell when the printer is online and printing, it is amazing! It was incredibly loud before.It has made overnight prints an absolute breeze and the quality is fantastic, my printer prints better than ever though this may be nothing to do with the board, I suspect I’m just so pleased with how easy everything was to put together, and how quiet it is now, that I am attributing the new board to my print quality too.Decent cost, quick delivery, simple integration and no reprogramming necessary! Silent board is silent.Will upgrade my other printers after Christmas!

I bought one of these to replace my original board after seeing that this board comes with newer firmware and is supposed to be “silent.” First, this board is a 1 to 1 replacement for the stock Ender 3 board and is plug and play, which is really nice. It’s also very, VERY quiet. I’m not sure how much of that is due to my stepper dampers in addition to this board, however, it really is a night and day difference between this board and stock. Unfortunately, the first board I received was DOA, but customer support was quick to work with me, and sent out a replacement. The replacement took a little while to show up, but once it did, everything worked great.Pros:- Packaging was very nice. Board was in an anti-static bag inside a padded box, so it was able to survive the rough shipping process totally intact.- 1 to 1 replacement, just unplug wires from the stock board, remove it from the housing, put this new board in, and plug all the wires back in.- This board is EXTREMELY quiet. I also have stepper motor dampers installed on the X, Y, and Z motors, and I seriously cannot hear them while they’re moving, however, even with my extruder motor which does not have a stepper damper, I still only just barely hear anything if I listen closely. The cooling fans are now by FAR the loudest part of the printer. I am unsure how much of that is due to the newer firmware, and it may be possible that flashing newer firmware to the stock board would have a similar effect.- Customer support was great. They weren’t able to fix the original board but were able to send me another that is working great.Cons:- First board was DOA.I’m seriously happy with this purchase. I was skeptical at first about the whole “silent” claim, and really just wanted a spare board in case anything happened to the first one, but they’re not exaggerating about how quiet this board truly is. Totally a worthwhile investment for your Ender 3.

I have had my original Ender 3 for years now. Done a few mods and upgrades over the years. I always heard that most of the noise came from the controller board NOT the motors but just didn't really believe it I guess. Well after installing this I can say is its all true! This board essentially silenced my Ender 3! Unbelievable difference really. You now hear just the fans moving basically. You'll also hear the carriage moving with a low vibration/rumble from time to time. Those sounds were always there its just now with the silent board you can hear them now :) A must buy especially for older printers. Silenced AND updated firmware with the ability to update. Something my original 8 bit board couldn't do (without a lot of work anyway)Win, win... Win! ... Upgrade to silence, upgrade from old slow 8 bit, upgrade to new firmware!! I got these on "used/open box" and am happy. The first one shipped to me was toasted. Whoever had that board first fried it. Returned it and rolled the dice again, ordering another used/open box board. This time the "used" board looked good so I installed it.Easy to install. Just go slow and one connection at a time. Worth the money (even at full price) to upgrade your original old Ender 3s!!

I have purchased two of these boards so far. The first was an Ender 3 upgrade (v1.1.4 to 4.2.7). The second was modifying a laser engraver to use a custom Marlin firmware, and have a LCD display.The normal upgrade, what most of you will do, is very straight forward. Remove the old one, put in the new one, and plug all the things back in where they came from.The 4.2.7 is definitely quieter. Since the upgrade on the Ender 3, the only noise source is from the fans.There is only one little quirk. There are two fan ports (K-FAN1 and K-FAN2). It is implied that those two fans would be controlled separately. They aren't. You have one control that does both of them. That's because of the hardware, there's nothing to fix in software to change it.The 4.2.7 adds ports for the BLTouch and a filament runout sensor! Two of the most important upgrades that you'll do to your machine.If you are using this to control something else, like the laser engraver, there are some improvements. You have proper PWM on several ports. Some are cleaner than others, so you'll want to check them with your oscilloscope (DSO-138 works fine). I used PA1 (hotend heat) and PB0 (BLTouch IN pin) for the laser enable(power) and PWM, respectively.I have heard about people using these boards for totally unrelated projects, treated as just another microcontroller (STM32F103RCT6) coded via the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO. Having 4 stepper drivers and a number of MOSFET controlled high current ports, and low voltage ports, has lots of options for controlling other projects. It save you a lot of electrical design work for little robots or other projects.
