I saw this at Microcenter after buying the Ender 3 and almost bought it. I absolutely love the printer, but it is fairly noisy next to my desk. I'm wondering how this upgrade would stack up against the Creality silent mainboard replacement for noise reduction. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Enclosures like this help reduce some lower volume noise, like dampening fan noise.
The steppers are still going to be heard pretty clearly.
If noise is your concern and you'd like an enclosure, something more solid is better for noise level

The main purpose of the enclosure is to allow you to print a wider range of filaments.

Stepper motor damper could help

Oh? How does it do that? What kind of filaments does it enable? I recently tried PETG on my Ender 3 Pro and it worked great without needing any alterations. The 3d printer guy at Microcenter said I would need an all-metal hot end so I bought one but never installed it since it worked fine without it.

If your print environment is prone to humidity or temp issues, the enclosure will help you maintain a solid ambient temperature around the printer. This helps with filament like ASA, Nylon, and ABS. It also gives you the opportunity to pump out nasty fumes if your filament of choice is stanky.

I have one, it works great, but I rarely use it as I mainly print in PLA and PETG. However, in a pinch it's good to have. It can be broken down for easy storage, but it's lightweight assembled. Note: Is Big!

BONUS: I picked up some 60 watt led blacklights and does a great job doubling as a resin curing box for larger items!

unrelated PS: always keep your filament dry!

This is to hold in heat so you can print other filaments, doesn't do much of anything for noise at all and a silent mainboard would be a much better option (of course then all the fans will be the next annoying thing.)

ABS, ASA, Nylon, etc. basically any filament that wants the chamber hotter than ambient and/or are susceptible to any change in temp.

This also helps anybody printing PLA/PETG who have fans/AC going since those can screw up prints as well.

You might need the all metal hot end if you print alot >230C.

I would go with the silent board, once replaced, the only noise you'll be hearing are the cooling fans.

The silent motherboards are eerily silent, I would suggest that if noise is your concern.

I agree. I built an ikea enclosure form my soms ender 3. I also bought the silent main board. The silent main board makes a shocking difference
