Official Creality 3D Ender 3 Pro Silent Motherboard V4.2.7 Upgrade Mute Mainboard with TMC2225 Driver for Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5

Prints have stopped several times unexpectedly, doesnt hold a constant temperature at the hotend or bed

Poor instructions.

Worth every penny! Completely silenced the XYZ axis on my Ender 3 Pro. Only thing I hear now are the fans, and Im working on solutions for that. Upgraded from the 4.2.2 board. Direct plug and play, no hassle at all. DO THIS YO!

I keep my printer in the room next to my bedroom. When running overnight prints I could hear the printer making all kinds of racket. It would on occasion wake me. The Silent board does exactly what its supposed to. The installation was a bit of a hassle on my Ender 3 Pro, since the printer has to be turned on its side, or upside down to get the board out and some of the wires are difficult to remove. Part of the removal involves taking a copious amount of hot melt glue off the plugs. Creality wants to make sure the plugs stay inserted and I assure you, they do. I was very careful and even used a hot air gun to soften the glue. This helped a lot. When I first looked at the old board it was a little intimidating. I couldnt see all the mounting screws. It also looks like a lot of wires and plugs to remember. Fortunately all the plugs are labeled. I managed to get everything out and back in again and finally got the board installed again. The new board works great! I later discovered, thanks in part to some fellow Amazon reviewers, that there is a bug in the firmware, version 1.1.8 that can cause some prints to stop at about 35% completion. This required flashing the board. I dont know if having to learn how to flash was good for me or not, but flash it, I did. Again, thanks to fellow Amazon reviewers, I got the tips I needed to allow me to make it happen. A few words of advice on flashing this board: It already has a built in bootloader, so plugging the printer directly into a computer via a serial port is all thats needed as far as flashing hardware. I went to TH3D and downloaded their firmware package and watched a video on youtube that showed me exactly what and how to do it. The TH3D flash is based on a Marlin flash, but tweaked a bit, and it includes all the settings needed for the Ender 3. With this in hand its possible to flash the board in 10 minutes or so. Its not Crealitys fault the bug exists. The bug is in the Marlin version, so I didnt knock off a star. After all I did learn how to flash my board and this paid off very handily when I updated to ABL. I really like using my printer now, and running it all night means only a whisper from the fans. I can live with this. Perhaps I will eventually replace the fans with quieter ones, but for now its great.

Easy (but involved) swap and its amazingly quiet !

Very nice upgrade for older Ender 3 which makes the machine relatively silent. Your fans will now be the loudest part of the printer.

Got this to up grade my printer came in fast and works great

This is a great upgrade. I dont have a db meter but after installing the steppers are almost completely silent on my Ender 5, what a huge difference. I followed the YouTube video from Teaching Tech for the motherboard and Marlin upgrade and he walked me through flashing the motherboard with an Arduino Uno which I had on hand already. Pretty straight forward and didnt run into any issues.

Works wonderfully! Silent as can be.

Upgraded Creality Ender 3 Pro with this board. Quieter operation, seeing smoother results.
