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

Board is super quiet like stated. I had an issue where after about 8 months the USB port fell off. Comgrow was excellent in providing service and replaced the board shipping and all even though it was technically outside the 6 month period.

I expected some improvement on noise, but I was surprise at just how quiet the printer became. I am looking forward to comparing prints to see if there is any improvement in the print quality. The noise reduction alone was worth the purchase.

The only thing you can hear now are the fans. missing a star because onboard driver is 2208, no linear advance in newer Marlin. Still 8 bit. Should include extra extruder driver for the price. Better options out there for the money unless you just want silent operation and nothing more.

Not only is it quite operation now but being a direct drop-in for the 1.1.3 Creality board it is a no brainer. This board should be one of the first upgrades completed for your printer. Thanks

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 ...

This is a great upgrade for the standard Ender 3. It eliminated all noise from the motors so that all you hear now are the fans. Its very easy to install as well.

I knew it was supposed to silence the motors, but I never expected it to work so well! There was a very drastic reduction in noise level. So glad I purchased it! Thanks CHEP!

The constant high pitch sound that comes from the stock stepper motors started to drive me insane after a few months. This board is an easy drop into place (about 45-60min install due to the insane amount of glue that comes on the stock board) and the TMC 2208 stepper drivers are silent. The fans are now the loudest thing on the machine and totally tolerable. Must have!

Ive had this running for a few months, including 10hr+ prints, and the silence is golden. I also added a BL touch, and with both upgrades my whole printing experience feels 200% better. My printer is directly next to my PC, with no enclosure, and I frequently forget its running. I also talk to friends on my PC and it is absolutely undetectable on the mic. From what I remember, installation was super easy, no gotchas, and well documented in YouTube videos. But theyre hardly necessary; just take a picture of all the wires, then plug them back in the same way.

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.
