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

Truth told, easy to install only gets a 4 rating because Creality saw fit to put the mainboard upside down in the housing, and its just a pain in the --- to get in there. The meat and potatoes of this one is, as an upgrade, it borders on essential. All the screaming the steppers did when my printer was new has been practically silenced with this board installed. Its also more capable than the stock board I had as far as installing a BL Touch sensor. (If you choose to install one of those - and you should - make sure your wiring is correct so you dont cook anything!) Worth the buy for sure, if only for the quiet operation. If youre a real modder, though, make sure you see if you arent interested in other makers boards. There are a LOT of expansion opportunities.

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!

The only thing worse than the quality of this board is the quality of the customer support. At this point I have recalibrated every aspect of my printer multiple times. I have practically rebuilt it from the ground up checking and rechecking every aspect. The only variable is the new board and its terrible print quality. I reached out to customer support. It took two days to get anything other than automated response. For them to send links to videos Ive already watched and then stop responding. My conclusion, the board is faulty. Nothing I do makes any difference. I went from loudly printing flawless Benchys to quietly printing hot garbage. Dont waste your time or money.

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.

Out of thr box direct instal, could not get a single print, put original motherboard back in my printer. Be aware silent motherboard may need firmware update. Mine wouldnt accept updates. Very disappointed

Works as described
