- CR-10S (Standard, Mini, S4, S5)
- CR-20
- Ender 3

Info on dual Extrusion methods, STL files for mounting hardware, and more here (continually updated):Â Dual Extrusion Setup Information
This board is supported in our Unified 2 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
- Upgraded 220uF C4 Cap – No Temperature Issues
- DUAL Extruder AND Hotend Support
- Works on 12V and 24V
- Compatible with CR-10S Filament Sensor
- Compatible with EZOut and EZABL Kits
- Single EZOut: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ezout-filament-sensor-kit-standard/
- Dual EZOuts: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ezout-std-x2/Â
- When using 2 filament sensors, they have to be our EZOut sensors specifically. Mixing sensor brands is not supported.
- Full GPL Compatible Firmware Included (Unified 2 Firmware)
- Testing firmware is loaded so you MUST flash firmware for your machine setup upon receiving. Use the Unified 2 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
- Ender 3/5 Hotend Fan Note: For the Ender 3/5 the hotend fan connects to a separate terminal on the stock board. Those fan wires will go into the 12/24V DC Input terminal along with the wires coming from your power supply. This is the fan that cools the hotend, not your layer fan.
- Warranty does NOT cover damage from wiring mistakes and/or improper installation. Check all your wiring before powering on.

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.

John McLeod –
Hi there, I have a CR10S and put your EZBoard Lite, 32 bit, Trinamics… It works great.
But of course now i want to do dual extrusion…. 🙂 So this upgrade board here will do it. But not be 32 bit, Trinamics… Will the print quality be the same? Any plans to make a TH3 version? —-John

Tim Hoogland –
The “EZBoard Pro” is in prototyping right now. We should have it out at the end of the year and that will offer dual extrusion. As for dual on this Creality board the print quality will be about the same but the noise level will be much higher and it is running an 8 bit CPU so print speeds can be lower.

Yes it does work with the CR-20 Pro. One thing to note is that the CR-20 Pro has a BL Touch on it. You’d need to connect it to the IO pins on this board. See our page here: https://support.th3dstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043586811-Creality-Mega-2560-Board-Connections-CR-10S-Dual-Board-

Question
Joseph Lan –
Are there plans to restock this item? I believe the extruder 0 stepper driver has died on my board, and you’re the only one selling this board so I can’t fix my printer. Better yet, when can we expect the EZBoard Pro to come out, because I’d love to upgrade and get silent drivers (and I expect a more reliable board design). Thanks!

Tim Hoogland –
We have them on order but it’s taking a long time to get them due to slowdowns with COVID19 affecting shipping and supply chains. As for the EZBoard Pro we’re still testing and making improvements to make sure it’s as close to perfect as possible for when we launch it.

Question
Jeroen Cox –
Does this board work with the Ender-5 Pro?
Is it a replacement of the current control board or an add on?
Does the machine work also silent with this board?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
This does work with the 5 Pro and replaces the stock board. This is a very much DIY project so if you are new it is not recommended unless you want to take the time to learn about hooking it all up and running the wiring for the 2nd hotend and E motor. This is not the silent board, this has the A4988 drivers. The silent boards from the chinese sellers have issues with drivers burning out due to overheating (BigTreeTech and Creality). In addition to that the Creality silent boards will not run Linear Advance because they skimped on the board design and CPU on certain versions.

Is this a 32 or 8 bit board, which firmware should i use, Unified 2 or 1
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
This is 8-bit (Atmel 2560) and uses Unified 1 at the time of posting this comment. We will be including it in Unified 2 before the end of the year.

where can i buy the tool to adjust the vrefs
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
You can use precision screwdrivers if you are careful. Using a metal one is possible but if you slip you can damage the board. But it is recommended to use a ceramic tipped screw driver so if you slip off the VREF adjustment it will not short the board (amazon and ebay have them).

It’s whatever voltage you put into the board.

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).

I’d be interested in a 5 Plus version too. I’m wondering how this affects your printable area, and what other ‘gotchas’ are there.

Tim Hoogland –
This board will work with the 5 Plus in single extrusion mode as of right now (with our firmware) but we haven’t added any dual extrusion settings for that printer into the firmware YET.

Mark Miller –
Does the firmware update for this board require a bootloader or can it be updated via the onboard SD slot?

Tim Hoogland –
The board has a bootloader but you can only upload it over USB, not through the SD slot. SD slot loading is only on some 32 bit boards.

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

Tim –
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.

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

Andrew Utz –
Can this be used on an ender 5 plus, want to setup a 2 in 1 out extruder. Or can that be done with the standard board? It looks identical to this without the extra heat sinc
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
Yes, but you will need some other parts in addition to whatever hotend and extruder parts you choose to go with.
1. The LCD kit for the Ender 5 Plus: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ender-5-plus-12864-lcd-upgrade-kit/
2. if you want filament sensors on both Extruders you need the dual sensor kit here: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/ezout-std-x2/
We have an ABS dual extruder adapter bracket as well here to hang another motor off the existing one: https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/2nd-e-motor-bracket/
