This is a real Creality CR-10S board that has been customized exclusively for TH3D. We worked with Creality to get the E1 Stepper driver installed so you can do DUAL colors and DUAL hotends on the machine.
Works with the following printers:
CR-10 (ALL Sizes)
CR-10S (ALL Sizes)
CR-20
Ender 3
Ender 3 Pro
Ender 5
NOTE:The CR-10S Pro is NOT compatible as it is a completely different model from the CR-10S series. The CR-10S Pro is a CR-10S Pro, Not a CR-10S.
Info on dual Extrusion methods, STL files for mounting hardware, and more here (continually updated): Dual Extrusion Setup Information
This board is supported in our Unified Firmware so that you can easily set up a dual hotend or 2 into 1 hotend setup.
Genuine Creality CR-10S Board customized for TH3D
PCB will show V2.1/V2.2 depending on stock
All versions function the same and are compatible with the TH3D Unified Firmware
Testing firmware is loaded so you MUST flash firmware for your machine setup upon receiving. Use the Unified Firmware to do this.
Compatible with CR-10, Ender 3, Ender 5, CR-20, and CR-10S LCDs
Single cable LCDs will connect to EXP1 on this board but rotated 180 degrees. The alignment tab should not go into the cutout on the EXP1 header.
Stepper Drivers: XYZE – Allegro A4988
Genuine Creality E Stepper Motor AND cable included
Note: Do NOT ever plug/unplug a stepper motor when your printer board is powered. This can damage the stepper driver.
We recommend checking the VREF adjustments on the drivers if you get layer shifts. The boards ship with VREFs set from Creality. Recommending VREF settings: X – 0.8V, Y – 0.9V, Z – 1.0V, E0/E1 – 0.9V
Warranty does NOT cover damage from wiring mistakes and/or improper installation. Check all your wiring before powering on.

Literally the ONLY OEM option for duals on a CR-10S

I somehow missed the point that this is an exclusive board for TH3D. I have done a ton of searching and even purchased 2 boards elsewhere… only to realize that this one has the fifth stepper attached. The default Creality 1.0, 2.1, and 2.2 boards purchased elsewhere DO NOT.
I got my dual extrusion setup working with a $50 OEM CR-10S 2.2 board on TH3D — working great EXCEPT it wouldn’t extrude. Hours of combing through blogs and firmware to realize… it’s the hardware. TH3D is (from my exhaustive search) the only place to find this board. Even in the description, it says this is a special thing.
I have personally handled multiple CR-10S boards in an attempt to get my dual Titan Aero working and I can safely say that this is literally the only CR-10S Creality board I have ever seen for sale that offered the stepper for E1 (the second extruder).
This board and every one we sell comes with a bootloader already. 🙂

Question?? Does this also work with the CR-10s Pro?

Tim Hoogland –
It does not and will not support that machine due to a completely different board in that machine.

When was this item released? For otne who is fairly mechanically minded and familiar with circuit boards and such, what is the approximate install time? What sort of instructions are included? What is the physical size difference compared to the pre-installed OEM board on the Ender-3 / does there need to be any modifications to the original board housing? Are there ANY additional parts or pieces necessary to complete the transformation into a Dual Extruder machine? Thanks!

This came out about 1 year ago. It works with multiple Creality models listed on the product page. Its pretty involved but we have documentation located here to get you started and some videos of installing them in a CR-10 Control box: https://www.th3dstudio.com/knowledgebase/dual-extrusion-setup-information/
We also have a dual extrusion channel setup on our Discord server for getting help and recommendations on what to print and how to connect. This product is just for the parts and is very much a DIY project.

So, is this compatible with the Ender 5 and is it the Silent Board?

This works with the Ender 5 (not the plus) and it has the A4988 standard drivers (not the TMC2208).

What a difference, super quiet and smother operation. Nice to have the ability to print 2 colors. A few gcode tweaks and your all set.

Canaan Collier –
Will I need my own bootloader to flash firmware onto this board, or does it have one integrated on the board?
