TH3D EZBoard Lite V1.2 – For Creality & Sovol Printers

Tired of searching forums, watching random YouTube videos, and posting online to try and get a cheaper board to work?

With the EZBoard we provide real technical support, quality parts, proper design, and fully working firmware that is tested by us, not random people online.

Don’t take our word for it. Check out the Video on this awesome board from Teaching Tech.

Installation Materials & Firmware

• Download the manual, firmware, and related files for the EZBoard here: EZBoard – Installation Guide & Firmware Info
  • You must read the manual. It covers connections and explains what connectors do on our board.
• We also have an automated web tool to make your firmware in under 5 minutes with NO software needed on your computer. Check it out at https://EZFirmware.TH3DStudio.com.
  • PLEASE NOTE: All EZBoards ship with a test firmware that is for testing the boards. You must flash firmware for the machine you are installing it in for the board to work.

Key Features

• The ONLY high quality, drop-in replacement board with US Technical Support
  • NO Soldering
  • NO Cutting wires to add new connectors
    • Please Note: If you have tinned wires remove the ends and insert bare wire. Tinned wires over time will damage any screw terminals.
    • CR-10 Series – will need to have the always on fan (control box fans -40mm and 50mm- and hotend fan) 2 pin connectors removed and connected to the FAN terminal on our board.
    • Ender 5 Plus – will need to have the always on hotend fan 2 pin connector removed and connected to the FAN terminal on our board.
  • NO Printing Adapter Parts
  • Need help getting it setup? No problem! Contact our support for help.
  • 100% Working Firmware that is amazingly easy to use
  • We use high quality and genuine parts on our boards
  • Our PCBs are made with 4 layers and 2oz copper on every layer

What printers are supported?

• CR-10 (Regular, Mini, S4 S5)
  • Models with 2 Z Motors need the Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon
• 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 Z Motors need the Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon
  • Does NOT work with Touch Screen Models
• Ender 2
• Ender 3
• Ender 3 Pro
• Ender 5
• Ender 5 Pro
• Ender 5 Plus – Needs other addons/upgrades listed below
  • Needs Creality Dual Cable LCD Adapter Board
  • Needs the 12864 LCD Conversion Kit
  • Needs the Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon
  • Does NOT work with the stock Touch Screen, only with the 12864 LCD Conversion linked above
• Sovol SV01
  • Needs Dual Z Motor Adapter Addon

Silence is Golden

• Silent Trinamic TMC 2208 Stepper Drivers running at 1/256 Stepping
  • UART enabled for driver configuration and data
  • Change Modes with the LCD or GCode
    • StealthChop2
    • SpreadCycle
  • Change Motor Current (VREF) from the LCD or Gcode
  • SpreadCycle and StealthChop2 take 1/16 signals from the CPU and interpolates them to 1/256 for smooth motor control
  • Why TMC2208 over TMC2209? Read here.

Stacks on Stacks of Copper

• 4 Layer PCB with 2oz Copper on EVERY layer for Durability and Heat Dissipation
  • TMC 2208 Drivers Require a 4 Layer PCB and 2oz Copper
  • If the others don’t specifically mention 2oz on all 4 layers they probably don’t have it.
  • Why do you use the TMC 2208 Instead of TMC 2209 Drivers?

No Hassle Firmware

• Runs TH3D Unified Firmware 2.0
  • Easy to use web based firmware compiler (access included free)
  • Based on Marlin 2.0
  • Easy Printer Setup like you know from our Unified Firmware
  • GPL V3 Source Code Provided to EZBoard Customers
  • All firmware features are 100% working and our board has EEPROM memory

Packed with Features

• 32 Bit CPU for all the latest Marlin 2.0 features now and in the future
  • No slowdowns when running all the latest Marlin Features
  • 512K of program space for all the options
  • Working EEPROM for storing printer tuning settings (steps/mm, z offset, PID tuning, etc)
• MOSFETs over spec’d for cool operation and long life
  • We use 50A rated MOSFETs to keep things cool and long lasting
• Genuine Phoenix Contact Screw Terminals
  • These terminals are very high quality and lock the threads of the screw into place
  • Terminals on other boards from China use no-name ones that are prone to failure and/or burning up over time
• Dual Controllable Fan outputs
  • FAN 1 – Layer Fan Output – 0.5A Rated
  • FAN 2 – Connect your Controller fan to shut off when not printing – 0.5A Rated
• Compatible with single and dual cable Creality LCDs
  • Dual Cable Requires the Creality Dual Cable LCD Adapter board
• Other Connections On-Board
  • Servo Header for BL Touch Use
  • Filament Sensor Connection (works with EZOut sensors and Creality/Sovol stock sensors)
  • The 5V pin headers are meant for use with a filament sensor and/or BL Touch. Do NOT connect a Raspberry Pi to these outputs as you will damage the board.
• Other Notes
  • Works with our EZABL Pro Kits
  • OPTIONAL Dual Z Motor Adapter cable for machines with 2x Z motors (select above)
  • Bed output rated up to 13A. If your bed is aftermarket and pulls more than 13A then use the add on the MOSFET above. Board is fused at 15A.
  • No major hardware revisions have been made to our board across versions. Any small changes are tracked on our EZBoard Hardware Version Changelog page.
