Pros & Cons
Pros
The motion of my printer is now so smooth and quiet. My ender 3 pro has almost silent drives now, with improved ui and thermal protection.
Thoroughly recommended. Luckily 4. Is a worthwhile upgrade. A worthwhile upgrade from the 4. Epic upgrade though.
Cons
Works on initial startup then fails to work there after. Ran a few prints all okay until the dreaded thermal runaway error.
Highlights
Quality
So far really happy - totally different experience with the super quiet stepper motor drivers.
Quality of prints has improved - and the printer is now so quiet i forget it’s on!
I did it with the printer tipped over onto its left side with the extruder cranked up to the top of its travel.
The noise with the original printer was very annoying, especially during calls.
Price
This was a big upgrade for a very reasonable price.
Competitiveness
Going to a 32bit board with microsteps has made my printer so quiet that the fans are now bothering me.
If you have an ender 3 or 3-pro with an 8-bit motherboard, you need this upgrade.

Also the bolts felt like they were super glued down and one of the head became stripped so i had to drill it out using a stripped screw remover
