Running an ender 5 and while my board technically works fine, the USB socket popped off and despite my best efforts the joint holders are too damaged to solder a new one.

I mean maybe it's about time, I had lost the original config file anyways. Does anyone have an idea of what's "good" these days? Not really looking to spend more than $200 if I can help it

I have a BigTreeTech SKR MINI in my Ender 3 and it's rather good, especially for the price

I did a board swap on my mk3s with one of those, other than doing a few connector changes perfect replacement and they're really reasonably priced. Steppers run way quiter as well which is another benefit

The steppers run quieter? I didn't realize this was possible from just a board change

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 2 points 11 months ago

They come with 2209’s which tend to be quieter

I have the skr mini e3 v3 which has worked very well.

Easy to setup in Klipper too if that’s your thing

Not sure which drivers came stock on your Ender 5 board, it's possible it already uses "quiet" drivers.

4.2.7 is a silent mainboard.

AFAIK TMC2225.

Oh yeah what others said, the 2209 drivers are substantially quieter than those on the rambo. Most of the noise is from fans now.

One more vote for the SKR mini e3. Best upgrade you can do for one of these printers.
