I definitely think it's worth it! My printer used to sound like R2-D2, now I can't even hear when it's on.

Upgraded my Ender 3 with the 4.2.7 board. Amazingly silent except for the noisy fans. The stepper noise used to mask the fan noise. Extremely happy with my 4.2.7 upgrade :)
After 37 years in electronics, when changing boards like that. Never remove all wires then try to remember where they go on new board. Just remove 1 wire and replace on new board. Rinse and repeat till all wires transferred.
My stock board just died. Guess now's the time to upgrade.
If anyone's curious, I had run an overnight print and left the printer on the following day. That evening I came downstairs to start another print. When it got up to temp and started the wipe, I noticed the extruder wasn't moving at all. When it began printing the skirt I saw the extruder gear rocking back and forth. Initially suspected a bad wire, as the extruder cable did have a small spot where the insulation had been scraped away. I ordered some replacement cables and just finished installing them. Went to test the extruder and it still has the same problem. In addition, the x-axis motor now makes an ascending buzzing sound that starts the second it moves, and continues to grow in pitch and amplitude (regardless of movement) until I shut the printer off. Some of the LEDs on the board also flicker every time I make a menu selection.
FINALLY! So many vids on how to install the V4.2.7, but no one else actually has the difference in sound. Like you said... WORTH THE $50!!!
Thanks for making a sensible vid about what we all wanted to know.
I NEVER expected so many views on this video! Sheesh! Thanks for everyone's support!
Thank you for this video. I just got my first (second-hand) printer and the noise was a concern in my research but I thought I might be able to live with it. One day of printing later and I'm searching for reviews! Your video helped me make the decision; "night and day" "no-brainer". Thank-You 👍
The bl touch port is to add a bl touch or a cr touch to your printer. It's not for a touch screen, that would be that rainbow ribbon cable on the LCD.
I wouldn't say im hard to make laugh, but you really caught me off guard with the sounds you made of how the 3d printers sound LOL. it was spot on.
I wonder if he ever turned the board over and looked at the bottom side to see its wonderfully complete labeling of "the big wires" area? :) That's one thing I gotta give Creality props for - their boards are well-labeled.
was not sure aboult getting this uprgrade been printing for ages but after watching this video you have soild me am so getting this
Enjoy! Still loving my two machines with it, and admittedly gave away my two old printers that were louder. LOL! Its a worthy purchase.
I'm a Hungarian guy and you helped me a lot with this video because I made the same mistake as you with the fan connector and it printed incompletely.
Ah, the Ikea wooden man. I see you are a man of culture.
Foam pads under the feet make a massive difference
The wire locations are silk screened on the back of the board... dont worry i didn't see till the third time i pulled it to troubleshoot stuff.
and if you need to know the stepper driver chip type for marlin updates its the sticker (or magic marker on older ones) on the sd card slot.
im getting an issue with my new 4.2.2 board. myender 3 v2 stopped turning n, creality sent a new one but noe during a skirt is being printed at thend of the circle / shape it joind it up then there is a noticanle stop jump to the next line. it used to be almost seamless. any ideas..
Thanks for the vid. This is the first time I've seen the extruder assembly on top like that with the direct drive. Could you share how to do that?
I want to do this mod, but I think I might kinda miss the noises.
LOL! They are quite memorable arent they?
I was looking to do the same upgrade I just picked up an Ender 3 Pro this last weekend and you’re right holy cow is this thing loud. Lol I have an Ender 2 Pro and it’s much quieter. I do have a question hopefully you can answer but did you just board swap and that was it, or did you have to flash a firmware onto it to get it to work with your Ender 3 Pro? Thanks!
im just getting a blue screen when i try to use the firmware. any ideas how to get it going?
Wondering what makes this board silent, looks like it still needs the bottom fan,I don't see any fans on the original board?
you should reference in the beginning to do a load of research prior to even touching the board. you had the potential to brick your printer by turning it on and not making sure the correct firmware version was on there first. maybe tell people to take a picture of the boars before removal and to have it unplugged... safety items.
otherwise good job man
Hello dear friend! Can I connect and use old ANET a8 display (2004) with this cool ender board (and use marlin 2.1.9)? Or I need to buy some another display?
Thanks for the video, I ordered one board for me, my printer is 2 metres away from me who works and study, I can't stand the sound any more, I get headaches.
the newest marlin firmware has a filament setting
You got the 64gb version the 32gb is cheaper and its the same.
I remember installing my CR touch and finding the hot glue 😨, so annoying. I’ve just got the new motherboard so I will look forward to removing this all then 😅. What are your thoughts of using hot glue to secure them onto the new board? Reckon it’s just to prevent damage during transit?
Well I admit I am not a "pro" in any way when it comes to 3d printers. Ive given away 2 of my systems and just have my two Ender 3 Pros now. I personally didnt re-glue them myself, but absolutely I can see merit to a small dab of hot-glue to help with transport and just general proper maintainability.
@@LegacyStudioI just have a quick question. I have just upgraded my Ender 3 max and it now does not seem to auto level properly. Did your circuit and firmware update work right away without any additional calibration?
Had this working for 5 months with CR touch, no issues, then yesterday it won't level properly, spend 16 hours on it..still not printing properly 🙄...I'm about done with it
That SUCKS, good luck with the repairs. I have been wondering about doing a CR Touch...
@@LegacyStudio it's fine when it was working, but I'd say, if your happy with your printer as it is, just leave it , a CR or BL touch is just something else to go wrong 🤷
I'm sold.
is this compatible with the vanilla ender 3?
Good question, I dont know personally since I only have pros. Hope you find an answer though! It's a worthy upgrade if it is compatible.
Yes it is.
