Authentic Creality 4.2.7 32 Bit TMC2225 Silent Control Board with Filament Runout Sensor, 24V Ultra Silent Fan for Ender 3 / Pro / V2 / 5 Includes 1M Capricorn PTFE and Other Accessories Upgrade Kit

Sucked

I tried flashing Marlin 2.0 bugfix on this board using the configuration.h for an Ender 3 V2 but the current version of the configuration files on GitHub as of 2/15/21 apparently defaults to the 4.2.2 board. It would power up ok, and the hotend and bed temperatures are measured and can be adjusted but it would not auto home (it would not move axes at all in the Motion submenu either). For the 4.2.7 board you must change the following #define in configuration.h #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V4 and replace it with #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_CREALITY_V427 Apparently this definition was added to boards.h in August 2020.

Installation was quick and easy and I could not be happier. I did have to try a couple of different MicroSD cards as the system would not recognize the initial MicroSD card used; however, after switching to a different MicroSD card, I was able to easily upgrade to the latest version of Marlin. This board is a must when it comes to upgrades. Unfortunately, the mainboard fan is still tied to the part cooling fan circuit, but a minor modification allows for the mainboard fan to be tied into the hotend fan circuit.

From whirring, buzzing, whistling and clicking to DEAD SILENCE - I mean you hear NOTHING AT ALL. Like a new father I was checking on my newborn constantly to see if it was still breathing kinda quiet. There are so many new features that are available as well. Print quality improved immensely and I am a total n00b to 3d printing. It was plug and play install on my Ender-3 - not a pro or V2. Install was easy and straight forward. The filament run out sensor stopped a print and waited for me to change out mid print and resumed exactly where it left off, Saved me 3 hours of reprint time the 3rd day after install. Only reason I put 4 stars on ease of install is the fans that came with it - the wires needed spliced and extended. YOU MUST INSTALL THIS IF YOU OWN A ENDER SERIES PRINTER - YOU WILL THANK ME!

an easily dropped in replacement for that god awful noisy one, and a decent price at that

update 9/15/21: well that fan making funny noise... well it died today. this fan did not run that long. guess you get what you pay for. update 9/21: all was well for few days, than stepper motors started to sing. found out it was board that was causing it. Contact Amazon and they sent me replacement. figure all will be good, but no. fan started to make noise on start up. takes about good 30 seconds or more and noise will stop (maybe need oil?) anyhow, replacement package arrives... again, static protection bag is open, and missing fan. anyhow, after install the board, it made noise and noticed filament runout sensor firmware was not flashed... WTF... after flashing firmware almost all stepper motor noise went away. (hope it stays that way) I dont know, maybe its just me having some bad luck or something. feels like these are 2nd hand or something that got returned and these 3rd party sellers buy them in bulk, put in box and resell. overall it sucked. replacing these boards arent fun. short wires and small spaces. hope this board lasts, cause I dont want to go through this again. Install wasnt too bad. remove wires, swap out board and reinstall all the wires. only thing was when it was booted for the first time, EEPROM thing came up, which community helped out solving. ill say, it is so quiet! it is so quiet now that i keep thinking it stopped printing. also hot end fan is lot quieter than stock version. i definitely recommend!

Great product. Must get for ender 3 especially if you have multiple printers.

Man, seriously, my brand new logic board died after less than a month. This sucks, and the return/exchange window just closed. Seller Contact Me!

Easy install. Everything was plug and play. The XYZ axis motors are pretty much silent now. Definitely worth the buy.

Wow I can’t believe the customer service they provide. I have a really old BLTouch that I thought wasn’t compatible to this board but I reached out and they walked me step by step almost immediately. The board really does what it says: quite AF prints! I can’t hear it at all it’s insane. Easy to install and easy to flash!
