Creality V4.2.7 Upgrade Mute Silent Mainboard for Ender 3 Customized Silent Board, Ender 3 Silent Mother Board

Only worked for about 5 min and the magic smoke was released. Am reordering from another vendor

I had no idea that you could make a printer so quiet. After installing the board and powering on, the first thing I did was auto home for an initial test and I knew this was supposed to be a silent board but for a second there was a weird disconnect between what my brain was expecting to hear and what I was seeing. Im so used to the motor whine and there is absolutely no noise. Its ridiculously quiet. Initial board inspection showed no issues with quality control. Connections are lebled. Just swapped everything over, powered on and good to go. I did have to calibrate the esteps but I just took note of my previous boards config, extruded 100m to confirm it was underextruding and set it to what the original board was and it was good. Very pleased with this upgrade. Update- Firmware 1.1.8 is installed and I have confirmed that thermal runaway protection is enabled as advertised.

The best upgrade for my ender 3 pro.

What a perfect upgrade to the Ender 3! Next the two fans in the hot end to replace and this thing goes quiet. Easy to swap if you remove the bed.

Bought 2 ender 3s and setup my first printer, used it for 2 months while I stockpiled some upgrades for the other while I learned about 3d printing. I thought the sounds it made were super cool and didnt bother me, but the Motors whining bothered my wife. Happy wife happy life, ordered a silent board too. I put together printer #2 (at setup I added dual z kit, direct feed extruder kit, new leveling springs and wheels/knobs, as well as this silent board) and with all my upgrades installed it fired it up and did a quick test print, basically sounded idle, just like when you arent printing, but the fans are on. This board blew my mind... Well maybe my first machine was just noisier anyway? Nope put a silent board in that one too, super quiet. Now that my printers are quieter, i realized I didnt really like the motor whine after all. My wife? Happy they dont make as much noise now, she didnt even freak out when she saw the second printer (which she didnt know I had for a month lol) Also firmware flash is a snap for 32 bit boards, ignore the complex videos, just drop the binary file from creality website (pick the right one, mine was just the basic cuz no auto level kit) put the binary file on a BLANK SD card, with printer off, insert SD card, power printer on, wait a minute for the blank screen to pass while it updates. Once it boots up, check you printer firmware in the menu and confirm its what you were expecting. Came preloaded with ender pro firmware from like 2020. Side notes, direct drive kit is cool, I bought it for tpu, nothing special. Dual z kit is cool, critical if adding direct feed extruder, helpful at keeping z from slouching on a bowden, but you dont need it. The knobs and spring kit for bed leveling is my favorite upgrade on the cheap, holds great, I rarely have to re-level, with stock springs I had to re-level pretty much every print. Octoprint/octopi brings it all together so so sweetly, i have raspberry pi on hand most of the time, so I just set it up on a 3b+ as soon as I discovered octoprint. Been running fine, threw another instance of octoprint on a pi400 for the second printer. *If you dont have octoprint setup, that is Upgrade #1, the one upgrade to rule them all. So after octoprint, this silent board is my favorite upgrade, my stock boards were 4.2.2s so no print quality improvement, but the silence is worth gold, quieter fans installed is inevitable now. Worst part about this board, uninstalling the stock board. Creality Hot glued the plugs closed, i hear they recently started doing this, maybe they want to void a warranty, but Im the kinda guy that if I buy it and it works, its mine, i fix my own stuff, I was never going to send this machine back, just replace bad parts if theres ever a failure. You do risk breaking something, however I was able to extract 2x4.2.2 boards without damaging them, and even still, you can just use your new board if you damage the stock one, install is pretty easy without glue everywhere, have some tweezers handy to hold wires into terminals while you tighten them in.

Didnt like that the static plasic cover protecting the board was opened. Second when i installera the board my LCD went blanc? Returned the board and wating for a new board, hope atleast the stat cover is intact ))) One star for nothing ... Het ...

Nice board but you cant use it or the stock board with an SD card bigger than 8 gig. I thought my original one took a crap because it wouldnt read my 16 gig sd card. The new board wouldnt read it either and its not that it just wont read it, it boots up all screwy.

We had a bad board on one of our printers...the extruder only extruded at half speed despite checking vref, voltages, and esteps. Put a new board in and worked great. However, I cant BELIEVE how much quieter it is! Ended up buying another for a second printer that was having issues and had a 1.1.3 version. I have a feeling the 3rd printer isnt far behind as it will sound very noisy now compared to the two with new boards...

It took about 30-45 minutes to install, and there are many youtube videos that show you how. My Ender 3 Pro went from sounding like a jet engine that annoys anyone within 2 rooms to absolutely silent to the point where it is near my bed and I can easily sleep while it prints. I also recommend installing silent noctua A4-20 fans to replace the stock ones, which is what I did, and now the fans and motors are completely silent. Silencing the motors is the more necessary upgrade though and this board does it perfectly. No complaints, I had no issues, if you have an Ender 3 or Ender 3 pro, I cannot recommend this silent motherboard enough and it is something everyone should add to their printer. The noise difference is unbelievable and the printer sounds the same when it is not moving and when it is printing.

Works as advertised
