After tuning my vref, the printer was missing steps still. I pulled the trigger and am swapping from the 4.2.2 to the 4.2.7 creality board to see if that resolves the issue.

While i was in there, I figured I’d put another z axis motor on there.

Do you guys have any recommendations on firmware or should I just stick with creality’s?

If you're sticking with Marlin, I've been very happy with the "professional" firmware. The configurator is pretty easy to set up if you change any hardware like a new bltouch or new hotend if that's your thing.

Yes, as an alternative to klipper -this really is your end goal - use the firmware by mriscoc, it is really nice and robust.

Gives you more options and the results are better than the stock fw.
