{"product_id":"creality-silent-mainboard-kit-for-k1c","title":"Creality Silent Mainboard Kit for K1C","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour K1C powers on, the fans spin, and the screen sits on the logo. Or the bed never heats, a motor stops responding, and the printer throws an error you cannot clear with a reset or firmware reflash. When the mainboard fails, the printer is a box of good parts with nothing telling them what to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis genuine Creality Silent Mainboard Kit is the factory control board for the K1C, built with quiet stepper drivers and laid out for the K1C's own wiring and 24V heated bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit it and your K1C is back to printing at factory speed and noise levels, using the harness and peripherals already in the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Creality Part 4002020069 | Made for the Creality K1C | 32-bit Control Board | TMC2209 Silent Stepper Drivers | K1C 24V Bed Heater Circuit | Plugs into Existing Harness | Mounting Screws Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Creality K1C silent mainboard kit is built for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eK1C owners with a failed board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dead mainboard usually means a printer that will not boot, heat or move, and sending it away can take weeks. This kit replaces the board directly, using the cables already in your K1C, so the repair stays on your workbench. With the new board fitted and firmware updated, you can print a full plate of functional PETG brackets the same weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall print farm operators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a farm running several K1C printers, one failed board takes a machine out of rotation and cuts capacity. A spare mainboard on the shelf turns that into a planned repair rather than an open-ended wait. Swap the board, restore the printer's settings and it rejoins the queue, printing the same 20-part batch of engineering-grade nylon clips as the machines either side of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSchools and shared workshops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K1C is a popular classroom printer because it is enclosed and fast, and noise matters when it runs during lessons. This board's silent drivers keep motor noise at the factory level, so learners can work beside a printing machine. When a board does fail, a technician can replace it in-house and keep a term's worth of design projects on schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sets the Creality K1C silent mainboard kit apart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuiet motion, even at high speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K1C moves fast, and every \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stepper_motor\"\u003estepper motor\u003c\/a\u003e on it is controlled by a driver on the mainboard. This board uses TMC2209 drivers, chosen for smooth, low-noise motor control. Instead of the high-pitched whine typical of older driver chips, you get quieter moves and less vibration transmitted through the frame. Smoother motor current also reduces fine surface artefacts on walls, so the noise reduction and the print quality improvement come from the same source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe right board for the K1C, not a lookalike\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe K1C, K1 and K1 Max boards look almost identical, and some sellers have shipped K1 Max boards as K1C replacements. They are not interchangeable. The K1C heats its bed from 24V through a dedicated connector and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MOSFET\"\u003eMOSFET\u003c\/a\u003e on the mainboard, while the K1 Max uses a mains-voltage bed switched by a separate relay. A board without that circuit cannot heat a K1C bed. This genuine Creality part, number 4002020069, is the K1C board, so the bed, heaters and sensors all connect where they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 32-bit board that runs the full K1C feature set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything the K1C does well depends on the mainboard keeping up: input shaping, pressure advance, fast acceleration and real-time sensor feedback. This 32-bit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Printed_circuit_board\"\u003eprinted circuit board\u003c\/a\u003e is the same specification as the factory board, so your printer keeps its speed, its automatic calibration and its existing profiles. You do not trade performance for a repair, and you do not need custom firmware or third-party configuration to get the printer running again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrop-in fit with your existing harness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board matches the K1C's mounting points and connector layout, so the factory wiring harness, motors, fans, screen and hotend board all plug straight back in. Creality supplies the mounting screws, and the board weighs about 96 g. Photograph every connector before you unplug the old board and the job becomes a careful, methodical swap rather than a rewiring project. Afterwards, update to the latest K1C firmware and run the printer's self-check to confirm every axis and heater responds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFull specifications: Creality K1C silent mainboard kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 6px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 6px; text-align: left;\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCreality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eSilent Mainboard Kit for K1C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCRE788\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eManufacturer part number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e4002020069\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eBoard type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e32-bit mainboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eStepper drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eTMC2209 (silent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eHeated bed circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e24V bed heater connector with on-board MOSFET\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eFirmware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCreality K1C firmware (update to latest after fitting)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eSupported features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eInput shaping, pressure advance, automatic calibration as per K1C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eWiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCompatible with existing K1C harness and peripherals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eApprox. 96 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003ePrinters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eCreality K1C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eNot compatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003eK1C 2025 version, K1 Max, other Creality models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003ePackage contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 6px;\"\u003e1 × K1C silent mainboard, mounting screws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering, shipping and support for K1C mainboards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe courier the K1C silent mainboard kit to any address in South Africa, or you can collect it from our Centurion or Boksburg store.
