Creality V1.1.3 Motherboard

The world of 3D Printing is complex, and it’s no surprise that the controller boards are arguably the most complicated and advanced parts of all. Fortunately for end-users, manufacturers like Creality3D are more than capable of designing, refining and adapting motherboards to perfectly accommodate each printer, which is demonstrated beautifully with this new motherboard for the Creality Ender 3 and similar 3D printers from Creality’s smaller range.

Designed with quite a range of enhancements over previous iterations, the Creality V1.1.3 Motherboard focuses on optimised circuitry and reduced overall heat that would sometimes cause potential problems in specific circumstances. This is the same upgrade that they recently did for their CR-10 series motherboards – the Creality3D V2.1 Motherboard – which not only increased safety and circuit protection, but also reduced ripple within the electronic components to result in cleaner signals and a higher level of consistent positional accuracy.

*Please note that, although this motherboard is compatible with both 12V and 24V input, the various components within the printer may require specific input voltages to avoid damage.

Typical Applications for Creality Original V1.1.3 Motherboard:

The Creality Ender 3 Motherboard V1.1.3 is a fine upgrade for the smaller models in the Creality 3D Printer Range, and is considered an optional upgrade if you already have the previous V1.1.2. It offers quite a long list of minor upgrades like improved circuit layout and higher quality components, and also some semi-major upgrades that cater to potential heating, electrical and efficiency problems.

So consider upgrading to the V1.1.3 if you are experiencing any sorts of problems that the old motherboards were somewhat prone to, but don’t consider it a “must-have” if your printer is already working in the way that you expect it to. Fortunately, however, this motherboard is also priced exactly the same as the previous model as well, so if you do need to upgrade your motherboard, you can enjoy an enhanced, refined version without paying any more than what you’re comfortable with.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
