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

I like the easy swap out as well as quietening the stepper motors. Ive been using it a month or so and have had no issues. I just got done with a 40hr print and it turned out awesome. If you dont plan on upgrading to a 32bit board I recommend this one.

This board appeared to be creality official board. Worked perfect!

The firmware in the board is 2 years out of date and the thermal run away protection value is set to tight so you get errors before the print can even start. I’m giving it 1 star because you’ll have to compile your own firmware from the current marlin build. Which not everyone knows how to or is comfortable doing, also the fuse was already popped and I got to breath in some nice toxic smoke before I realized what happened and had to replace it with my own. For the average/ casual user this is a bad upgrade and should be avoided

Perfect fit, works great, connector for the CRTouch worked. Only issue was I had to reflash it for the printer to home even though it was supposed to be set up for the ender 3 pro by default. The reflash was quick and easy though.

Super quiet. The only thing I can hear on my ender now is the fan and bltouch!!! P&P super easy to install and flash.

It works like is says. Great product.

Excellent

Worked out of the box without having to software update. Can’t tell the printer is running, only hear the cooling fans.

I love how easy it is to update the binary code. I replaced it twice already. A much quieter operation using the new drivers.

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.
