Comment on My creality 4.2.7 board just crapped out. Suggestions for an upgrade?

Recently I fell in love with RepRap firmware (e.g. Duet3D) due to the simplicity of setting it up and modifying things with macros. RepRap boards include Duet 3 offerings and it’s china clones.
If you want a drop-in replacement the BigTreeTech SKR mini E3 is a great option.
Want to upgrade to klipper? BigTreeTech Manta E3EZ. In addition to the controller/mainboard, a CB1 or any other Raspberry Pi CM4-compatible module is required.
There is also the Makerbase/MKS Skipr but I don’t have first-hand experience with this board. Upside it’s cheaper as it has the Rockchip RK3228 for klipper on board.

I’ve had a duet wifi on my P3Steel for years now and it’s rock solid, great performance

Have you tried RepRep 3.5 RC3? I don’t know why but the config is messed up. For some reason, the home command thinks it’s a cartesian printer instead of a core xy even though M667 S1 is configured.
Firmware 3.4.7 (Stable release) works great.
