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

This has greatly quieted my printer. Be aware it will take some time to turn the printer over and remove the old board. The connections are hot glued in. Carefully remove them. Document the locations of the wires and put the into the new board in the same order. If you are upgrading to the BL-Touch at the same time you can get the one with a single connection on both ends.

Very well packaged so everything arrived to me safe and in working order

Even though this is suppose to work right off the bat with my ended 3 pro it did not.. so looses a star there- took me a minute to find the flash for the board/download/and install it but then it worked great. Much quieter and smoother running printer now- all you hear is the fans! Deffinently a worthwhile upgrade- hands down recommended

This thing is magical, I didnt know what to expect. I thought a 50% noise reduction but it is more like a 99% noise reduction. It makes it so quiet Im looking at new fans now because they seem to loud without the motors whirring away. It was a little pain to install because the glue on the original board, but once I got it up and running I thought I did something wrong it was so quiet (Like the motors dont make any sound at all). This is most definitely an upgrade that everyone should get.

After upgrading, the only noise you hear really are the cooling fans. I tried to upgrade the firmware with TH3D but could never get it to take, so I just used the included firmware and it has worked fine. The hardest part about upgrading is pulling off the copious amount of hot glue put on the old connectors. I like to get needle nose pliers and gently pull it off in chunks.

Installing this made the motors quiet, the annoying back and forth sounds. All you hear are the fans from the power supply and extruder fans. Those can be upgraded too.

This board makes your stepper motors nearly inaudible! They also dont get as hot! I installed this on my Ender 5 and it was super easy. It is so silent I can sleep while its printing! However, the extruder fan is very noticeable now that the motors are quiet. I will probably end up putting even more money into this printer now to make the fan quieter haha. I purchased this for my Ender 5. The board comes configured for the Ender 3 pro, so I needed to flash a new firmware to it. I tried flashing the .hex file that creality provides, using Ultimaker Cura, but there arent settings in Cura to tell it which COM port to use to connect to the printer and it said connection failed every different time I tried (I tried a lot of times and got very frustrated). To make things worse, I could not find drivers that Windows would actually install to make the USB connection show up as a COM port. I finally just tried a USB port in the back of the computer and then the printer showed up as COM port. I still couldnt get Cura to upload the .hex firmware to the board, so I followed YouTuber TeachingTechs instructions on how to install Marlin 1.1.9 with his configuration files. That finally worked, and the Marlin 1.1.9 has a lot of good features, so its probably better than the Marlin 1.1.6 that Crealitys .hex file is based on anyway. Take note: The second fan on the extruder is linked to the fan that cools the board. It might be better to plug that fan directly to the power supplys output so that your board is always getting airflow! If you use that fan but youre doing large prints, the boards cooling fan will be off for the whole first and second layers. That wont be great for the board long term.

All I hear now... are the fans? seriously didnt think the difference would be this huge

Bought this to replace a mainboard stopped moving the extruder stepper.. Put this in, flash it, and everything works except the bed heater. So basically I got a bad board.
