Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Customized Additive Manufacturing Products: Creality Silent Mainboard Upgrade by Ben Walls

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely silent! best in AM products

This board was a direct replacement for the 1.1.3 board I had in the new Ender 3 Pro I just received. Installation was easy and the printer is now completely silent. Steppers cannot be heard at all. I haven't tested Thermal Runaway yet, but marlin 1.1.8 is installed. One problem I've noticed is that the y and z axes hit the stop switches when auto-homing. I've read that this can be fixed by setting the firmware to a lower homing speed, but the new values have not yet been set. I used 3m of double sided foam tape to route the shifters and this gives the shifters just enough extra room so they don't slam on the return. There isn't much information or reviews on these boards yet. Has anyone installed newer firmware on it? Do I need audrino or just use USB? UPDATE 9/20/19 I ended up flashing Marlin 1.1.9 and since the bootloader was already installed, audrino was not required

Pros
  • Installed ISP/USB bootloader.
Cons
  • I don't remember
