This was a solid review, and I appreciate you taking the time to really get into all the details without overwhelming us with technical terms that would probably confuse and turn off new or soon to be new to the 3D printing world. Thanks again, and cheers.

This channel has the best reviews. I'm only upset that I didn't find it sooner!

Anycubic rocks, my i3M still running gloriously after all mods I have made...

I did order this printer in presale, I'm excited for it. Great video!

Just bought one for $335 on newegg. Im so exited to get this thing! We use Ender 3s in my engineering class and thats what got me interested. After debating for months i finally got a printer.

this was a really helpful revieew, actuially convinced me to pull the trigger on the purchase. Thanks from the UK.

I think i’m gonna grab this as my first 3d printer! I was leaning towards the Biqu B1 but this review won me over!!

This is what I have been waiting for! I've heavily modded my Anet ET4 to be somewhat like this: 32 bit open source board, silent drivers, belt tension (it's unbelievable that it has none as stock), v6 with bimetal heatbreak, Capricorn bowden tube, abl, spring steel sheet (had to replace bed AND carriage because it was weird, and that brought to reroute the y axis belt) and anti backlash; and aside from the money the time consumed has been like a year. Having ALL this stock is like a godsend, I think the only things I would change are the bowden tube for a Capricorn and a bimetal heatbreak

Great review. We will probably see tones of upgrade for it in the near future

Because of this review, I just ordered a Anycubic Vyper. Thank you for your honest feedback.

some smol advice: I add -0.1mm to -0.5mm detraction length to my slicer with volcano hotends. i also reduce temp by 10c. that doesn't seem to affect my part strength

I just did a full set of Voron parts on my Vyper. Solid printer.

Thanks man, great info. Thanks for all your hard work!

I’m upgrading from a MP Select Mini v1 and am excited to have a *much* larger build volume and nicer bed leveling experience.

great review! 😎

The most important part of any budget 3d printer is its community support and third party upgrade parts which is most available for creality and prusa line of printers.

The high pitch sound should be the PWM signal when it is not running at 100% fan speed. If you set it to 100% fan speed, the sound is gone. Nice video, thank you! :)

I just purchased this same model and they now have a Vyper profile in Cura.

Great review! Nothing beats a no BS review. As Sergeant Friday used to say, "Just the facts, ma'am"

apart from being really informative about the reviewed printer, I liked your video just for how proud you make your dad :)

I put a buck converter between PSU and MB fan. I adjusted the pot on the converter until I achieved a noticeably quieter fan yet still producing good airflow. The machine is SOOO much quieter

I’ve been on your channel since the mono price mini and your mini head you printed with your JG aurora, I’ll never forget that live stream, good times🥺🥲🥰

It would be interesting to see what happens if you were to print TPU at 80mm/s. Won't know until you try!

Got this printer brand new for 150 Canadian, can’t say I have anything to compare it to. But it is super easy to use and works awesome. Would recommend

15:55 love the back ground music while we try to listen to the imaginary popping noises.

That was a very good review. Looks like very good value out of the box. adding the features to an ender 3 would cost more, plus all the messing about with firmware etc..

Nice review! Just bought 3 of these to add to my farm!

Great review! It’s pushing me toward buying one of these. I have a heavily modified i3 with direct drive and this is about to receive a volcano hot end. I’m also not crazy about the original Ultrabase bed as the surface is prone to damage and the adjustment is a hassle. This printer improves both issues and I’d like a bigger build volume. It’s going to be a choice between one of these or the Chiron, which is now available cheaply and has substantially increased print volume. I’ll hold off until next year before pulling the trigger.

Heck yeah! I was really happy to see this video, I have been following this printer for a bit, so it was amazing to see you do a video on it so early. I never preorder anything, but I am pretty sure that this will be my next printer when it reaches Amazon. I have seen a few reviewers print PLA at pretty fast speeds. Being a Volcano style hotend it should also be much easier to swap out to an all metal hotend than the cr-6 se. Which btw, really glad to see you didnt compare it to that printer, too many people have been. Yeah, it shares a bit in common with it, but it is not a clone like everyone assumes it is.

great review💥💯. Nice speech and rhythm and needed facts😁

Good review. I really like the flex bed plate and the auto level. Print quality though, I think my i3 Mega S actually does a little nicer job. Still, nice to see Anycubic is still innovating and improving, gotta like that! :)

dude.... it's 1am and it's on sale for 270.00 and I have had it in my cart for two hours... watched this and pulled the trigger. OY! Crosses fingers......

Just picked one up for sale on Amazon for $250ish. Cand wait to try it. I've got an ender 3 that I just can't get setup smoothly. Gonna sell it and move on to auto leveling.

Excellent review, mine arrives next week, liked and subbed.

The Mega-S test print had two owls, the left one had a top hat and the right one was the same as on this test print, looks like they probably used same .stl file and just removed the right one without centering the other

I think this is like the 3rd or 4th review that I’ve seen on the Viper, and everyone has pretty much been saying the same thing. It works out of the box. Which to me means that it’s probably good as someone’s first printer. It does look like yours might be a little more out of calibration than the others, so I’d probably run a full calibration on it, especially the extruder and Linear Advance. On my Snapmaker, I’ve been printing TPU at 60mm/s, but it is a direct drive. I’ve also done the same on my Ender 5 Plus, which I upgraded to direct drive, all metal hot end, and linear rails. I might give 80mm/s a try once I install the Mosquito Magnum. I’m just starting to experiment with variable accelerations, like higher for infill and traveling, and normal for perimeters. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of new makers found this under the Christmas tree this year.

Pls note - Cura now has 100% native support for the Vyper, no need for the fiddling of settings seen at 8:00.

it looks shockingly like the Creality CR-6SE, of course it has technical differences to it but that frame and silhouette is identical to the CR-6 i've got sitting next to me

*my dad being a huge fan of my channel* aww that's cute. also with a bowden TPU i can easily hit 60mm/s on my bowden. 80mm/s is likely to work TBH. BMG Extruders are amazing.

Ordered mine monday as my intro printer. I am so stoked to make some nerf mods.

I'm new to 3D printing and was really confused what to get. Thank you for a great review. Just ordered one. Now to figure out what brand of filament to use. :)

I had an anycubic i3 mega s printer. Had trouble with the print bed kinda warping near the center or it not actually heating properly. (Not sure, I'm as newbie to 3d printing as you can get) I ended up buying this because of the auto leveling (I have nerve issues making it difficult to turn those knobs underneath the build plate at awkward angles) I did my first 3 prints including benchy using prusa slicer with the same profile as my i3 and they came out absolutely flawless! An icosahedron with numbers, infinite cube, and benchy at max resolution. Can barely see any lines at all! So much quieter as well, so I can print while I sleep no prob. About to try out tpu for the first time, so we'll see how it goes, but I am quite satisfied with my vyper so far.

Has anyone anywhere done the ESP WiFi mod you mentioned??

Now just have to wait till there available in Australia 😍🤩 Edit : now I know what's wrong with my grey esun petg, first 2 weeks printed great then swapped to esun pla then went back to the petg and got the same bubbling and popping noises 👍 guess I'm buying a dryer too

Good review. Nice clear and concise. Looks like a pretty decent printer for the price. If I was just starting out, this might well be my first choice.

PETG yes always dry it for 2h before you print with it no matter what. Often moisture is strapped inside the roll rather than outside. Me been in Florida I always store them in a dry container and dry them before using it.

Duel AXIS is an upgrade too!! Check out the NEW FIRMWARE they have as well!!!

What you experienced in the petg could be a litle bit of moist but the real problem is the material touching the hotend for too long. I talked about tgis in my channel... BG just sent me a Vyper to test and I always watch your videos before asking for a Printer... Thanks for your work and best regards from Brazil.

Hoping these printers end up in more canadian retailers - amazon at the very least. Most places that are selling this printer are mainly american sellers.

Great review I have a Ender 3 Neo and those springs on the bed when they need adjustment drives me nuts.

Great review Daniel. Makes me want add a mate to my CR-6 SE

Thank you for this. I've decided to let go of my Enders and switch to this one. I just got tired of all the tinkering I had to do from time to time.

Sorry to keep spamming your comments. But think I can help you out with the Cura/M1 Mac issues. Messed around with some more complex designs, and was getting the same issues. Crashing. Freezing. Frustrating. It’d slice just fine. But issues would abound if I tried to preview. Did a little digging and discovered an easy fix that works well so far... 1) Open Cura 2) Select “Ultimaker Cura” from the menu bar 3) Select “Preferences” 4) Check the box for “Force layer view compatibility mode” 5) Restart Cura This worked immediately for me. Tried a bunch of different designs that were previously crashing every time. No issues. I’m still a newb with CAD, Slicing, and printing. But, hoping this Cura fix can help someone out.

Thank you for the very detailled test! Really great and informative! Have the i3 mega, which will be sold in favor for the vyper. Already preordered it, hopefully it will be shipped on 30.06.

Dude I can't believe you've gone to the dark side.......Prusa ugggggg lololololo Great vid as always. Just a thought; when I did my Prusa vs Cura tests using the same settings on both, the prusa slicer prints had stringing and the cura didn't.......Not sure if its just my setup but I really tried to get the stringing under control with the prusa prints and no go. I have a friend who's buying his first printer and I think I will still recommend the Ender 3 V2. But, I will keep my eye on this printer and if its as good as you've shown, I may change that recommendation :)

FYI as a custom gaming PC builder, I heard you have an issue with the fan noise and that’s because it’s a low quality bearing fan. Next time you use one like this just go and buy a “Noctua NF-A8 PWM” 80mm premium quiet fan with the best airflow of any fan brand. Gets about 1800 RPM and is literally quite

I wonder if your "wet filament" was really a temperature issue. It's also probably related to the geometry, with the shorter line segments laying down differently than the longer lines below. Notice that both prints are clean down low and then suddenly get rough higher in the print. As the nozzle gets farther from the bed the ambient temperature drops off and the filament can lay down too cold. I suspect that you would find the layer adhesion to be poor in that part of the print as well.

The sound could be the result of the pwn control at certain speeds.

Great review! As this video is about 2 years old, I was wondering if you have tried to print with any ASA filament? I know it takes more heat to print with ASA and I was wondering if the stock heater would allow the extra heat. I'm concerned if the tubing will start to melt causing toxic fumes like my Mega X would do if I go over 240 degrees. Also, have you done any upgrades on this printer since this video? Thanks, Pete

Interesting printer Great points Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us :-)

I'd check the firmware of the other printers for an option to disable the touch screen beep. It's probably there and just not enabled to change in the interface. Disable it and compile a new firmware. My Ender 3 Pro had a video assembling guide on the USB drive that shipped with the printer. Compared to the printed guide, it was an easier and more efficient way to assemble it.

Negative things seems to be addressed by anycubic. Fans aren't loud at all and hotend assembly connector is removable. Machine it self is incredible well packed, sturdy and easy to assemble. Leveling works great first try.

Nice review! Think this will be a great printer for first time users.

Thanks...Great review. Subscribed.

I hope it have dark mode and display adjust bright

How would you replace the parts colling Fan to get it to be less annoying ?

You keep showing printers I want to buy, can’t buy them all. Start showing printers I don’t want 🤣🤣🤣 another great video.

Did the light on the nozzle come with the printer? If it's stock, that's a very good feature.

This is the 1st printer I have seen using dual Z Stepper in parallel with end stops on both sides. Is it possible to modify an existing 3d printer with dual z stepper in parrel from one endstop to two? I think this is a cool feature.....

What is the hot end design, what is the thermistor model?

You should get a discount code to get credit for people buying these printers. I just picked one up thank you!!

Super video ! Would you recommend this printer or the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro?

I find that results are so much better when using Klipper as firmware. No ringing, much smoother surfaces. This hardware can likely work fine (if the board can be supported) - including the leveling. But not the touch screen.

To me this looks very very close to my CR-6 SE in terms of features except the CR-6 has a filament run-out sensor and had a glass bed. I love my CR-6 SE though - print quality is ridiculous even at 100mm/sec. If this printer was a little cheaper to buy, it would have been a very appealing product.

I want this bed system for my ender 3 now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I noticed on all of your prints side walls there is a lot of unevenness. Is the auto tensioners spring pressure or rigid screws. If they use some kind of spring there is definitely bouncing in the X-Y movements.

So what's the fix for the volcano extruder stringing? Besides retraction, could you lower the temp overall?

Could you do a video on what slicer you use besides cura and how you put the viper specs on it? I just got one for my bday and I’m trying to learn!! Thank you

Ive had many prints stop mid print due to filament sensor malfunction. I updated the firmware and still experience it. Most times I just hit print resume and it might come back with the warning but at times it will continue to print for half a day before the error comes back.

Hi I have been trying to set up my Vyper to print PEGT using a Cura slicer. It prints great until I introduce supports and I just can not seem to get it right. The supports just stick so well I can't get them off and the underside like the roof always has a terrible surface as if the filament is not sticking together on the first layer after a support. I would be so grateful for any advice pleas.

Thank you for the video. Would you happen to have any video on how to get rid of the strings on my prints for the Vyper? Thanks!

Just the magnetic bed, auto level, and dual z drives make it worth the extra 100$ over the ender 3 v2 I bought. As far as noise out of a cheap printer your 100% ridiculous to expect it to be silent. Paper printers make noise to, get over it lol. Or spend a ton of money on enclosed models or build an enclosure.

Thanks.

Hello, great content. Do you think Anycubic Vyper could print prosthetic legs?

$140USD shipping in 30 days to Canada. No thanks. That is insane shipping costs. Great review. Just can’t even consider it given the extreme shipping cost

that temple was definitely based off of Chichen Itza, which is Mayan not Aztec.

Im chasing upgrades for my anycubic kossel linear plus, anycubic no longer sells parts and my heated bed build surface is worn and get no adhesion anymore, where would i get a new build surface and some 3rd party parts or upgrades that will fit the linear plus..

Realy intresting. I got one and now dont make the automatic level.

My first printer was an Anycubic Predator, and that thing makes me really hesitant to try anything from Anycubic in the future. The specs were amazing, the price was right, but repairs were both frequently necessary and a pain in the ass. Especially once the thing went out of production a few weeks after I bought it, and parts became hard to find.

I have been doing a ton of research on features / sizes and find your channel extremely useful!!! I want to purchase my (first) 3D printer, but know that I want to be able to print NylonX (either out of the box or through upgrades). with the most recent batch of printers, would you recommend this printer over the Ender3 or is there another printer you would suggest I look at with prices less than 500$ US with good build volume capable of NylonX printing??? Thanks in advance and please keep the amazing content coming!!!

My only issue with Anycubic is their shipping costs to New Zealand, there are other manufacturers that can offer shipping for fairly cheap to absolutely nothing, but Anycubic charges can be near the cost of the printer to get it here, with little to no explanation as to why they would charge that much more than other manufacturers. I'd definitely buy more of their products if that weren't the case

I only understood like 3/4 things you said, but it sounds like this printer is perfect for a beginner like me. Also, "I don't see how it could take more than 30 minutes to set up", I'm a dumbass, it'll prolly take me an hour lmao

Noob here, What does a printer need to be compatible with klipper, from what ive heard the advanced features can really imporve prints, and it would be cool if i can do this in the future when my budget allows.

One year later, does the Vyper come with the wifi chip now?

I bought a Vyper and after calibrating and leveling it printed the owl. But that was it. The next print took the hotend below the bed and scratched the crap out of it. Anycubic told me that the sensor was bad and they send me another one within 15 days of filling their form. I returned the printer and ordered another one. I got exactly the same results. I just can't get a print because the hotend goes below level and will not print or autolevel, ever again. I'm sorry to say I won't try a third unit.

Ok i just ordered one of these im a machinist retired and know nothing about 3D printing i liked your video and want to ask if you can point me in the direction I need to be studied if i find your info helpful i will support you thank you les williams

That's what youtubers said about the artillery sidewinder. Meanwhile half my printer broke down.

You said the hot end wasn't all-metal, but the neck of the heatbreak looked too thin for PTFE tubing. Wouldn't that mean it's all metal effective? My V6 clones all have a short length of PTFE to the all metal heatbreak.

Finaly i got my Anycubic Viper.The first one was destroyed during transport, the second was stolen during transport, but the third one arrived in good conditioning. But what a dissapointment. Whatever i do, it will not do automatic leveling.. First i have to put a metal object to the nozzle, then it is homing and starts to pre heat. In all the tutorials i have never seen or saw this. then it starts to level it but afer the first point it stops .Abnormal leveling point put off power and check wirering. I did check it, dubble chekend it but i cant find anything wrong. i dont know what to do now. Can you help me?

Anyone know how to rewire the motherboard for an Ender 3 pro?
