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.

Hello! I just picked up one of these 4.2.7 boards and am dropping it into my Ender 3. Would the VREF values that you tune the drivers to match that of the stock Ender 3 (still using stock steppers for all axes/extruder)? Thanks!

No, use the VREFs from the page here: https://www.th3dstudio.com/hc/product-information/3rd-party-control-boards/creality-boards/creality-v4-2-x-tmc-boards-recommended-vref/

This makes the printer nearly silent and the quality seems a little better as well. Not sure why creality wouldn’t just go ahead and install this in every printer.

While it should work correctly we have not tested the CR-10 Firmware on the “S” models. We have the full firmware source code available on our website as well for free if you want to compile it yourself for this board. 🙂

Just purchased one of these to replace a V1.1.4 8-bit board in a CR-10. I also have BLTouch, so will I need any other parts or boards to make the new board and BLTouch work? I have the LCD header board that came with the BLTouch kit.

The BLT will be wired to the BL Touch header. Please read the accompanying firmware for this board that we provide as it details how to connect a BL Touch to the board correctly.

greetings a few days ago i bought this item for my CR10S it seems to be fine other then one problem i have 4 fans and there are only 2 ports and the ones that are to be controlled by setting
for the hot end (I assume)
if this board is compatible with the CR10S
how do i power these fans __
there is a port listed under ( Normal fan Port )
if this is where i splice them together and if so (what voltage is it)
for the sake of not ruining my fans or my machine
back control box- fan
motherboard- fan
hotend cooling-fan
filament cooling- fan

Both K-FAN ports on this board are for the layer fan, so only connect your layer fan to the board K-FAN ports. The other fans should be powered directly from the FAN screw terminal. On a CR-10S all the fans used should be 12V fans since its power supply is 12V. The board will output the same voltage on the fan terminal and headers that you feed into it from the power supply.
If you need further help please contact us and we’d be happy to help!

Would this board work to replace the Monoprice Maker Select V2 control board? If so, is there a firmware compile process setup for the Monoprice printer that works with this board?

Tim Hoogland –
No, this will not fit that printer without modification to the machine and compiling your own firmware.

where are the ICSP headers ?

Tim Hoogland –
The V4.2.7 does not have them since its a 32bit board. You do not need to flash the bootloader on these boards. If you are trying to flash a bootloader, that means you are not doing things correctly and can end up damaging the board.

Joseph Doucette –
Hello, for CR-10s it says I need a MOFSET in order to run the board in my printer. I bought the board and the dual motor / LCD adapters separately. can I get an ELI5 explanation on why it’s necessary?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
The CR-10 bed pulls more amps than the Ender series, that is why you need the mosfet – without it you will burn up the board.
