Our EZBoard V2 is the latest board from us at TH3D Studio. This board is a drop-in replacement for many printer models from Creality and Sovol. To verify compatibility see the Supported Printer list below.
If you are looking for a high-quality, reliable board that doesn’t require you to know programming to use, then this is the board for you.
Unmatched Support – In addition to being physically made well, we also provide 1 on 1 technical support through our TH3D Help Desk and TH3D Live Chat.
Painless Firmware Updates – We also have an exclusive firmware website, called EZFirmware, that allows you to compile firmware without ever touching VSCode or complicated programming options.

Do you know if this will work with a Tevo Tornado?

Tim Hoogland –
The Tevo Tornado would be considered a custom printer since its board is so different. We will be releasing a DIY firmware for the V2 as we have for the V1 shortly after they start shipping that facilitates using the EZBoard with a custom printer setup with guided setup for it in the firmware.

The splitter is not needed as the board has it onboard now. You do need the LCD kit (read the description below for whats needed for the 5 plus). You also can use the stock filament sensor with our board, so ours would not be needed if your stock one works.

For a CR-10S you should only need the board itself. You need to check your LCD to see if it has an EXP3 header on it, if it does then you don’t need anything else. If it does NOT have an EXP3 header on it then you will need the dual cable LCD adapter board that is an optional addon above.

After having so many issues with the SKR mini that came in this used ender 3, I decided I needed a new board. I really didn’t want a creality board, so this was my first choice, and I’m glad I did it. Another quality product by Tim and his team.

I am dumbfounded at how great, not only the performance of the MB, but also TH3D’S Firmware support. No one offers this level of support for the general 3D printer who doesn’t know much about compiling firmware. I attempted to use the creality v4.2.7 on my ender 5 plus, and I couldn’t get the z-offset wizard to work at all. I chased the issue for days, finally broke down and purchased the ezboard V2.0. I had this thing up and running in 15 minutes, with fantastic results using TH3D firmware. Just make sure to follow all the directions. I missed the part that firmware.bin must be the file name, no exceptions as I was used to renaming them with creality. Additionally, it’s working great with the BLtouch and micro swiss direct drive hotend.

I have 4 printers and have upgraded all of them to the EZboard V2. I think it’s the best mainboard out there and I don’t mind paying for quality. I’m an engineer and I like the attention to detail this board shows. The stepper drivers are heat sinked through the board, the way they are designed to be. Trinamic publishes data sheets and the other guys don’t bother to read them. That’s not engineering, that’s hacking. Who wants to save their configuration data on an SD card? An EEPROM is the right way and the EZboard V2 has dedicated EEPROM. The price went up when the chip shortage hit, but I paid the higher price and would do so again. If your thinking about getting one, just do it. You won’t be disappointed.

While this board can be made to work with the AL4 it will not be a direct replacement for the stock board nor will we have pre-setup firmware for that model printer and this board.
The USB port, SD slot, and the bolt holes will not match up to the stock board location. We would only recommend using the EZBoard in the AL4 if you have experience swapping boards out and doing custom printer work.

(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
The V2 will be a good upgrade for most printers but if you have a V1 that is working properly you won’t gain much over it going to a V2. The main updates to the V2 over the V1 would be increased memory for future firmware features as Marlin rolls them out, extra IO pins for DIY setups, and support for the EZNeo without an additional addon board. We will keep releasing firmware updates for the V1 for a while as it’s part of the Unified 2 firmware as well. TLDR; if the V1 is working for you and doing everything you need then the V2 will not give you much of an upgrade over the V1.

The PT100 will be supported later but we’re still documenting the connections for it on the V2 board. We do not sell the PT100 boards and would recommend something like the PT1000 thermistor that doesn’t need an amplifier board to be used.

I currently have 3 TH3D EZBoard V1.2 running in my Creality Ender 3, Ender3 Pro (400XL) and CR10. Would upgrading to the EZboard V2.0 make a significant difference over just continuing to up grading the firmware to the latest version?

Right now, aside from raw specs, there not going to be much of a difference (if any) in terms of performance or print quality in terms of the V1 and V2 boards. Both are very well built and capable. Just wait until one of them fails to replace them (which could be a while).

Will the EZBoard V2 work with a Tevo Tornado?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
The EZBoard V2 can work in almost any printer if you are willing to modify your machine to make it fit. This is outside of the normal scope of what we officially support but we do have DIY firmware to assist with firmware setup. You would need to adapt the case to mount the new board and a printed part would be the best way to do that. We don’t have mounts made but simple adapters can be made in Fusion 360 fairly quickly. Putting our EZBoard in a non-supported machine is something we only recommend for experienced printer builders as it is fairly time-consuming. We have done it in many machines here ourselves but we would not recommend it if you are very new to electronics and 3D printers in general.

This was by far the easiest board swap experience I have ever had. The layouts of the board are almost identical and the same footprint. Setting up the firmware using the online ezfirmware was a welcome treat as well. I have way too many code environments I only use to compile firmware once in a while if ever, taking up room on my hard drive I did not need yet another, Set up was fast and easy very intuitive.
It prints like a dream now quiet smooth and fast. The whole process of the board swap and installing ABL and a filament sensor took about 2 hours and was a pleasure to do everything went just how it says it would in the instructions.

This board was easy to put in my Ender 6. With the stock board, the temperatures fluctuated a lot. That went away with this new board. The only downside is it doesn’t appear to work with the lpc176x flash method (which copies the firmware to a micro SD card left in the board and then resets the board to flash the firmware. This is what the plugin recommends as a flash method for STM chips that update via SD card) for the Octoprint firmware updater plugin so I have to use the Marlin BFT flash method. Other than that everything works fine, after putting it in I did a 37-hour print and there were no problems.

The lpc176x flash method isn’t going to work on this board because its a STM32 CPU. Only our V1 boards used LPC CPUs.

Very nice quality board that works well in my Ender 3. Installation and setup was easy using the online instructions and everything came up and worked as expected. I also ordered an EZABL at the same time and added that after I had the board installed and working. The print quality is great and there’s no more of the weird behavior I was getting with the SKR mini. It’s not always true these days but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. The EZBoard is well built and worth the price.

This control board does not work with the CR-10 V3 due to Creality using a different type of board in that version versus the other CR-10 models this board works with. This is not a drop in replacement for that printer because of that different board type. But for any machines the firmware needs to be flashed and we have an online site that does that all for you.

The SV03 just needs the board itself. The solid bed mounts are a must-have since you can ditch the springs if you have an ABL sensor on there (that machine usually came with a BLTouch) We definitely recommend our EZABL kit as well but if your stock BLTouch is working well then use that until it dies and replace it with ours when it goes or you have issues. This board also works with the BLTouch as well.

The sound level of the motors will be about the same since they both use the Trinamic drivers with StealthChop. The big difference is that our EZBoard can set its VREFs via software whereas the V4.2.7 requires you to use a multimeter and a screwdriver with the power on to adjust the driver VREF. We also have a website that compiles the firmware for you for the EZBoard V2 whereas the V4.2.7 needs you do it manually on your local PC. Both use our Unified 2 Firmware but the EZBoard has a lot more features to make it quick to setup and its also built with better parts.
