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

F1rst Layer has top notch support. I’ve basically upgraded my entire ender 3 pro through them. The only thing original here is the frame and power supply. They’re been there every step of the way to help with any questions I have

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

Works as described

My wonderful wife got me this as a birthday gift. I wish I had knew about these when I got the printer earlier this year! It is night and day difference for the stock board on my ender 3 pro. Now the fans are the only sound being heard. I caused myself some headache when I installed the mainboard. I tried to update the firmware and I put the one for a bltouch adapter on the sd card and loaded it onto the printer. That was not a huge deal, I went to crealitys website and just got the newest non bltouch binary file and loaded it onto the printer. Thats where my issues started, the printer would not work with that firmware, caused an autohoming error everytime I tried to start a print or even just autohome the machine. This error means you have to shut down power and reboot everytime. This happened every single time I tried to do anything. I tried every firmware I could find and had no luck. I was in panic mode as I thought I had just ruined this board my wonderful wife just bought me. I started researching the web and watching videos, seeing I wasnt the only one with the issue I kept looking. I read others having similar issues but none showing or saying how they fixed it. Then one fine sir on a post I created told me to compile a firmware file using vscode. I have no knowledge of coding at all so I was at a loss there. He then directed me to th3ds website. I found their correct files, unzipped them and loaded them into vscode. All is well until I had an error message not allowing me to proceed. So here I am 2 days later stuck again not bring able to print. I messaged th3d via one of their YouTube videos. They responded shortly after and pushed in the right direction. Back to vscode I go, found the 2 proper software extensions that I needed, loaded the file again, made all the proper selections, compiled the binary file and put it onto my freshly formatted sd card. Here is the moment of truth, insert the card and flip on the power. About 25 seconds later the screen displays th3d and then goes to the normal info screen. I hit autohome and BAM! The printer started moving and homed just as it should. That was 9 days ago, I have been printing everyday since without one issue from the printer, Thank God! Now Im happy and most important my wife is happy. I reached out to f1rst layer on amazon and Facebook messenger when this happened. I must say they have one of the best customer services I have ever contacted. Within that day they reached out and offed any help they could provide. Then they followed up 2 days later to make sure the board was working again. Top notch f1rst layer!

This board does make the printer run quieter, the PSU fan will only come one when needed - so the sound from the fans is not on constant high. The 32 bit drivers for the motors allows for the print head to move almost silently. Springs seemed to be a good upgrade as well as the new tube does have less resistance and all the peices appear to be a legit products and not knock offs.

I added the sprite hotend to my Ender 3 Pro.Install was very straightforward and the addition of the silent fan helped quiet my setup. I mainly print props and figures and so far this hotend has not disappointed. This combined with the F1rstLayer firmware has helped me get great quality prints.
