Sovol 32-bit Silent Motherboard, Silent Mainboard with TMC2209 Driver for Creality Ender 3 Ender 3 Pro Sovol SV06 SV06 Plus 3D Printer

I use an Ender 3 Max Neo with Klipper. My board became defective and I couldn't get a 4.2.7 board to work right. I looked far and wide for a 4.2.2 silent board by Creality but there were none to be found. I thought I’d have to buy a new V2 and just take the board from it. Fortunately I came across this GOAT board and my misery and woes have all faded away. It’s virtually identical to the Creality board, one tiny thing is there’s a switch for the X stop, I don’t know why. Just make sure to flip it.

I made the smooth brain mistake of thinking I would save some money. Everything went smoothly with the installation, but this board is basically e-waste.They said it came pre-programed for a first gen Ender 3, but I went ahead and flashed newer firmware from the official Creality site with the GD prefix stated in the manual with the board.After all that, I went to auto home and it did fine until it hit the end stop and started trying to strip the belt on the X-axis. I promptly turned it off. Maybe I missed a connection, nope. Firmware, no change.I know the switches work since the stock board did a print before it was removed. The old board will be going back in, and this board is being sent back.Utter trash.

This replacement motherboard makes it a lot easier to cope with operating a 3D printer in your room. My stepper motors now make unobtrusive humming sounds instead of their original loud whining. The printer isn't totally silent due to the cooling fans, but their noise is much easier to tune out.Installation is straightforward but time-consuming (especially if the original board's connectors were glued down), and a fair degree of technical knowledge is expected of you. The printed manual is just one double-sided page with limited detail. E.g., they tell you to set motor voltages but don't say how to measure them.Overall, this is a great upgrade for any 3D printer that came with an 8-bit motherboard and/or noisy motor driver chips. The instructions could be significantly improved, but everything lines up and works as it should.

Have an original Ender 3 that had a port die on the mainboard. Replaced with this and brought new life into an old printer. Print quality improved, silent and I mean basically silent operation, and fairly easy set up if you follow the included directions. For my ender 3 install was fairly straight forward, I did not read instructions at first and had issues getting things up and running then realized I needed to flash proper firmware (completely my fault, clearly put in the directions) once I did that we were up and running and printing.

Installed the board was running fine until the bed began to heat nonstop due to a faulty moffset

I ordered for my SV06 Plus to hopefully quite the stepper motors down. Based on research, the precision of the signals sent to the motor helps quiet them down.Before I started, I took numerous photos documenting what wires went where. When I tore down the original, I noticed that the board was identical to the new one even with version numbers printed on the board. So I thought that maybe my stock printer already came upgraded. But I went through the effort of replacing thinking I would just have a spare (still having a slight hope of some improvement anyways).Following the instructions, setting switches and loading firmware, I still had nothing. The screen would come on, but no connectivity to the board. I have the stock screen as well as an RPi with Klipper/Moonraker. Neither would connect to the board. I have successfully upgraded firmwares in the past, but no luck here. After giving up, I put the original board back in and everything worked perfectly. Returned new one.

I have this in a spare bedroom and if I want to I can sleep in there with the printer running. Why did I not buy one SOONER!?!?

if you have an endstop problem (not being recognized),there's a tiny switch on the board you need to flip for more power, that fixed it for me, didn't need to install any software (awesome).

Put this in one of my printers and it's just as quiet at the BTT silent board.

I purchased this board for the ender 3, after my original board burnt down for no reason. Is a very basic, bare bones board, but for the price point, not much else to expect. However upon installing, the voltages for the motors was high. Tried to adjust them but the voltage adjusters didn't work. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I installed it any way, and it seemed to run alright, with a few issues that could be tweaked out. However, even after a short print of an hour or so, the motor was already too hot to touch. I got in contact with the company to see if I was doing something wrong, of whom took nearly a week to respond, getting to the point where I threatened to go to amazon for a refund, when they seemingly responded relatively quickly. Despite the numerous spelling errors, they quite literally questioned whether I knew what I was doing and "why I was adjusting the voltages!" They sent me to a video which showed exactly nothing, and offered no further help, even after days of waiting. I ended up speaking to an amazon employee who started a return and refund process.Overall, board was bad, and by the sounds of other reviews, in general quality is bad, and customer service was even worse. One of the worst companies I have had to deal with.

I bought this to replace the board of my SV06, it committed suicide one day for no reason.The funny thing is that I was aware of many issues that could cause this, and did mods such as the "always-on" fan to prevent the board from having this terrible urge. Well, it didn't work. Bye, old board.Order a new one... and temperature measurements are fluctuating like crazy right out of the box. That doesn't inspire much confidence.It's simple: it's just a bad board. It works well until it doesn't - or it never does. The components are just bad.

I have managed to upgrade successfully my Creality Ender 3 with this Sovol S06 mainboard. I've been looking for a solution for my noisy printer for a long time.The installation was a bit confusing, and it was not straightforward. However, by visiting the manufacturer's website, I've been redirected to the board GitHub page, where I found information regarding firmware source code and more.Tunning is time-consuming, but I found a perfect tuning after trial and error. The print process is quiet and produces decent results. I will need to add a bed levelling tool to complete the installation.So far, I'm happy with the upgrade, and I recommend it if you want to upgrade your old 3D printer.
