Creality Ender 3 V2 Upgrades V4.2.7 Silent Board, 32 Bit Silent Mainboard with TMC2225 Drivers Compatible for Creality Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 5, Ender 5 Pro 3D Printer

So after my first review, and I had returned the Board, Iris from Wolias contacted me by Email and asked me about the review and the mainbord. The original one came with a blown fuse and I did not put it in and just returned itShe asked me if I would be willing to try again. I told her I had already sent it back and was unwilling to buy another. She then left me know they were going to send me another and if I worked to please update the review which I am doing.I did get it and installed on my Ender5 Pro and managed to get the full version of Marlin installed. This board works well. Has its own bootloader, and is quiet. One thing to note the drivers had to be reversed for the x and y axis. It really is a direct swap with minimal fiddling to get it in and working. I spent more time just fiddling with VSCode to get Marlin configured correctly.Kudos to Walias and specifically to Iris for the great customer service. I will buy from them in the future for my needs if they have what I am looking for.

I purchased this card for my Ender 5. Per the vendors instructions I downloaded firmware from Creality, put it on an empty SD card, put the card in the printer and turned on the power. All I got was a blank blue screen. I've tried reformatting the card and reloading the firmware with no luck. Amazon was willing to send me another card but I don't want to have to try and return TWO cards so declined for now.Update: The seller has been in contact with me, quick to respond to my replies, and I now have my Ender 5 on steroids. This card AND the seller are outstanding.

Installed easily. Updated the firmware and its working great.

Great improvement of default motherboard for my Ender 5 model. No more r2d2 noises during the print - only slight cooler's breathing.It was not hard to flash E5 firmware from creality's site. But since my printer was from a first generation and the firmware on the site was for newer revisions, I was struck with 2 issues:1) Extruder's direction was reversed (instead of pulling filament in during first print it pushed it out)2) Z-axis step was twice as large (printed models were double-sized in height and their layers were not glued well to adjusted)The first issue was solved by reattaching wires in stepper's pin; the second one was dealt with putting proper z-step value via g codes. Both solutions are easy to google for anyone who was able to attach a bunch of wires to replace printer's motherboard.After that everything works pretty fine.

Poor firmware from the start complete with intermittent issues with the pause option. The printer froze when paused and the print was lost when rebooted resulting in the Z axis floating 30 mm above the print.I later added the CR Touch bed leveling option and with the firmware update the motherboard became a brick.Creality has no support you can contact and the other aftermarket firmware options didn't work because the boot-loader is built on the board. I could not offer anything positive to say about the board or Creality.I do not recommend any of their products as long as their support is missing.

I purchased this board to replace a Creality v 1.1.5 board (also a "silent board" - but 8-bit instead of 32-bit).The previous board did not support the M600 command ("filament change"), but it did support the M0 ("pause") command which sufficed to provide the opportunity to change the filament mid-print. It also supported the G3 (arc printing command) which is not a requirement, but is useful in reducing gcode, and perhaps both speeding up and providing smoother prints.It's clear from the sales information from the seller, that this v 4.2.7 board would need to be "flashed" from the Creality website, which I successfully did from the Ender-3 4.2.7 mainboard（32bit）.zip file. Within this zip file are several firmware options for additional hardware: some levelers, filament run-out, and so on, as well as the baseline.Since I had no additional hardware options, I chose the firmware for the baseline hardware.******M0, M600, and G3 are ALL disabled. Also, these files are marked as 1 year old, so I fear it is not in active support and development.****I started loading firmware for the other hardware options. The one for filament detection supports M600 (filament change), but not G3; and appears to work even though I have no runout detection hardware.That is enough for me to decide to keep the board at this time. But I am very disappointed in Creality.

this thing works great can't hear the steppers at all! However, my main issue was with this board's firmware. If you are like me and don't have the bl touch screen it gets a little confusing as this is my first time doing something like this and took me a couple of days to figure out. you must go to crealitys website and download the ender 3 4.2.7 32 bit firmware and not the silent boards. there are lot of confusing videos on youtube telling you to alter code but it should be as simple as downloading the firmware to an sd and putting it back to the printer. Hope this helps!

This upgrade board has solved the problem and made the printer work correctly. Installed into an Ender 3 v2 and it made the printer finally work. The printer originally came with the 4.2.2 silent board which failed right out of the box. Printer had layer shift on every axis regardless of how tight the belts were. It constantly would clunk and grind each time followed by a layer shift. Then finally the printer wouldn’t even print. The installation was a bit difficult due the the very tight compartment that the board is installed in. During installation did notice that the new v2 redesign had very poor air flow for the board. Despite that this board has worked perfectly and without issues.
