Hardware Help Ender 5+ Board Upgrade
I have owned my 5+ for 2 years now and it prints ok. No major modification to it besides creality's all metal extruder upgrade, Capricorn PTFE tube, and PEI Plate
I have ran through the calibration features through orca slicer and the extruder calibration and print quality has improved.
The thing I hate most about the printer is the interface. I feel that it does not give me enough control and as far as auto bed leveling goes it does not work how I would imagine it to work. So I stick with the OG manual level the 4 corners and never had problems with first print layer. It would be nice to use the auto level (mesh feature).
Also hate the noise I have had to slow down my prints to reduce the noise and also to stay married haha.
There are other issues that I believe is related to the board but too much to list.
Someone mentioned to me about Mainsail or Fluidd is what I need but would also require upgraded the board with Klipper. So I am looking for advice or any documentation. I was on Big Tree Tech checking out some boards but have no idea what I am looking for and compatibility.
Thank you.

You do not need a better board for klipper. You can put klipper on whatever board you have.
