Hello, I'm a novice and trying to bring some new life to my CR10s i'm trying to trackdown a silent mainboard for it but coming up with results all over the place. Is there a web page i can look at or something that lists compatible mainboards etc? or are you aware of anything upto date i could procure? Thankyou
Thank you for all the help! I was able to get my mobo installed, and after a slight SNAFU with the firmware I was up and running in a couple of hours. I took my time to make sure I got everything right. It's so quiet now that I have to check the webcam to make sure it's actually running :). One observation I have with the new setup is that the PID seems to fluctuate a lot more on my bed and nozzle heating. When I look at a temperature graph from a previous print on OctoPrint using the old motherboard once it hits the desired temp it sticks there pretty well. I'm seeing quite a bit of "hair" on the graph after updating the motherboard and firmware. I'm not sure what is causing the PID not to be able to settle, but something has definitely changed. It's staying within 1% of the desired temperature, so I guess that's good, but I'm concerned that it's not tracking as closely as it was when I had the previous setup. The only difference other than the firmware and hardware upgrade is the fact that I finally plugged in the filament sensor. I can't see how that would make the PID less stable though.
I tried installing Marlin and ran Auto Tune for the PID. That only made things worse. It went from a +/-6 degree fluctuation to a +/-15 degree fluctuation. I re-flashed the original firmware, but am still seeing the issue. Someone on Reddit said it might be a loose cable, so I'll check them all in the a.m. I was so excited to have my SUPER quiet printer running and I really hope this is something a simple as making sure a connection is seated properly.
Okay, I went in and reseated all the connectors and made sure that no insulation was being pinched. I think the yellow wires had some insulation pinched. After doing that the ripple went away. Whew! I thought I was going to have to return this board.
Beanie, wondering if you can help me... I am trying to update my cr10 s5 to a v2.2 silence board. I have the hex file and have it hooked up to computer but when I get to 41:30 I am having the same issue you had before you cut the video. the upload buttons are grayed out.. what am i doing wrong?
hi, you need to install the drivers for windows, they should be located on your memory card that came with the printer or you should be able to get them from creality
Beanie, I've gone to the creality website looking for the CR-10S software for silent motherboard. There is no line item for a CR-10S. The CR-10 Smart and the CR-10S5 and the CR-10 V3. None of these are correct. when I turn on my machine, I just get a blank screen, so the silent mainboard was not programed. I am not finding the software in the notes and you jump very quickly with where the programs are listed and I cannot figure out where you got the software. Would you please clarify as my machine is 100% down and I am about to put the old board back in.

Hi, I purchased this Creality CR-10S Silent Motherboard V2.2 with TMC2208 Preconfigured Firmware. It came with pre loaded firmware for the CR10S. Here is my issue. When I click to use the Auto level feature X is traveling to the far right back corner and not stopping and the stepper motor continues to run making a terrible noise.

Just got installed and now wondering what to do with part 2? No bed leveling or any option so still new to all this, basically XYZ are flashing ? ? ? like yours so just at a lost now here. I get no option to level or fix that issue.
Hi, you will need to install new firmware onto the board as these boards are designed for the ender 5 plus. As yours is a clone hopefully the creality software will work so just head to their website and download the correct firmware. I do show you where to get it from on my UA-cam video
@@BeaniesHobbies So I'm guessing they took bed leveling away? I didn't see it in your menu as well and I contacted the manufacture as well and they're looking into it right now. Just wondering what you see on your end as I really hate to take this all apart and send it back if it's a bad board or something, then again I have BL touch I want to add, as well as Meanwell. I wanted to save $$$ instead of a V2 cr10, and you don't have sausage fingers ;)
@@saulg195 hi, I don't have mine anymore as I sold it to make room for other printers, just home the printer then go into the menu and disable the motors so you can move the head and level it on the four corners that way. It's a bit tricky with yours as it's a clone so they probably had some different features in their firmware compared to crealitys firmware.
Installing on my cr-10s with BL-touch. Since there isn't a hex file for a cr-10s with BL-touch, what are my options? Currently I can think of two: 1. Edit the hex file and enable the bl-touch (not sure if this is possible). 2. Build a new version of marlin for the cr-10s but enable the TMC2208 drivers. a. Is it correct to use the configuration file for the cr-10s since the board will be different? b. Are there other options I need to enable in the marlin firmware to make this board work?
Hi, I just made the switch today. The noise reduction is just amazing, now I have only the fans making noise. The switch took me 20 minutes and just changing the lines in Marlin 2.0 to change to new drivers. Everything else is the same. If you're still looking for a solution I can give you my hex file.
Hi beanie , I installed the board and driver as I have the cr10s5 This was done before watching this video , I was told to change the xyz and hot end volts on the pots on the board , now my printer won’t print properly, would you happen to know the voltage readings I should have for the x y z and hotend as I am at a loss I wish I found this video first
