Creality V4.2.7 Board with Silent Trinamic Drivers – Ender 3/Ender 3 V2/Ender 3 MAX/Ender 5/Ender 5 Plus/CR-10

What does this board do?

This is a budget silent board from Creality themselves. It is a decent low-cost alternative to our EZBoard. This board is supported in our Unified 2 firmware multiple 3D printer models (see below). If a printer is not specifically listed below, it is not officially supported by our firmware.

Features/Details

• Genuine Creality V4.2.7 board with Trinamic TMC2225 Drivers

CR-10 Model Support Notes (Read this BEFORE buying for a CR-10 Series)

CR-10 (Regular, Mini, S4 S5)

• Models with 2 separate Z Motor connectors need the Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon
• MOSFET needed for the bed if your machine does not already have one (addon above)

CR-10S (Regular, Mini, S4 S5)

• Needs Creality Dual Cable LCD Adapter Board if you do not have the EXP3 header on your LCD.
• If you have the EXP3 header on your LCD use 1 cable to connect from the EXP3 to our board and you will then not need the dual adapter board.
• Models with 2 separate Z Motor connectors need the Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon
• MOSFET needed for the bed if your machine does not already have one (addon above)
• Does NOT work with Touch Screen Models

Important Information

• Make sure to have an active cooling fan over the board to keep it cool. The Trinamic drivers run warmer than boards with the “standard” (aka 4988 series) drivers.
• On some machines, the EMI filter board addon is required, specifically Ender 5 machines.
• Because the stepper drivers are not connected to UART for control (they are in standalone mode) Linear Advance does not work on this board.  If you are not going to use Linear Advance (most people do not) then this does not apply to you.
  • If you want to use Linear Advance we recommend using our EZBoard instead as it works correctly with Linear Advance.
