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 installed this board on my ender 3 pro. Massive improvement in stepper noise. I cant emphasize it enough. Essentially you only hear the fans now. Installation was annoying because Creaility hot glued the wire connections. Also, one odd thing. After installing this board my bed moves to the back after finishing a print whereas with the original board after finishing a print it would push the bed to front. I am talking about the y axis here. I dont like this but whatever, such is life. The product is not perfect but 5 stars because its so much quieter.

The board works very well... very quiet... But beware if you have an Ender 5, as the stock firmware for the board is set for the Ender 3 - which has an entirely different physical layout and will cause the servos to attempt to autohome to the Ender 3 form factor. The flashing of the firmware for the Ender 5 is not self-explanatory. I almost returned the board for this reason, but I was eventually successful. My recommendation is to search for a tutorial at (link removed per Amazon review policies). (1) Dload the 1.1.15 Ender 5 hex file firmware from Creality dropbox. (2) Install AVRDude (3) If you have a linux system, you have it slightly easier. Plug into the usb on the board and copy/paste the following CLI command: sudo avrdude -c arduino -p m1284p -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b115200 -U flash:w:/home/user/Downloads/ender5.hex That should do it.

I saw this years ago but I kind of liked the electronic noises, reminded me of 28.8k days. With moving to a new house the printer was now in my office and was a bit annoying while working. All I can say is HOLY CRAP, I had to keep checking it was still printing when I first put it in, totally worth it!

Replaced my old Ender 3 Pro motherboard with this one and I’m amazed. I read the reviews of “it’s so quiet now” and the raving about it, but didn’t believe it because it seemed too good to be true. It is true! I don’t even hear the motors anymore, just the fans. There’s only 1 negative with this, you can’t tell when the print is done because it sounds the same when it’s printing, or sitting with a finished print

If you want to make your Ender (3 Pro out of the box, and 3 or 5 with a re-flash of firmware) SILENT (other than the fans, of course) - buy this updated board. Installation is very straight forward - just unplug a cable from your present board, and plug into the exact same spot on this replacement board. The only annoying part I ran into was the amount of hot glue that was used on the stock board to keep the connections in place -- took a little bit of work to get all the cables unplugged because of it.

I knew this board was going to help with stepper noise, but the decibel level drop is shocking! The only thing I hear while printing is the cooling fans, which I dont mind. The other thing I can hear now with it being so quiet, is my prints failing. You can hear bed adhesion failure from a room away, which saves on filament.

Terrible

My Ender 3 Pro came with a 4.2.2 board, this was a silent 4.2.7 board. I purchased this to help reduce the motor noise. I am floored at how quiet it is. The motors cannot be heard over the fans at all. Only at full speed from one side to the other, I can hear the XY-belts making noise. Installation does require some care, but take your time and get photos first. Highly recommended.

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

I purchased this to silent the stepper motors, and it did that perfectly. The old board was swapped out in 30 minutes. The only downside is that the firmware has a bug, where the extrude will stop around the 30 to 40 percent mark of a print. This has only happened when the object is sliced with Simplified 3d. Good news is that the firmware can be updated to fix this issue.
