ANYCUBIC Vyper 3D Printer with Intelligent Auto Leveling Upgrade

Charles SoucyCharles Soucy: This printer is a beast! I use it every days since purchased. I changed the nozzle to use ASA and abrasive materials...thats all I needed.

This printer is FAST and PRECISE. They just added the input shaping and linear advance in the firmware and after tuning the machine, you can print around 150mm/s and 2500mm/s2 accel using PLA and have 0 ringing and 0 underextrusion. It just spits 3d parts at maybe 4x the speed the ultimaker does at work...and they look better too!

The pictures are from some prints I made...the pig was at 150mm/s and 2500mm/s2 with 0.2mm layer height...the other picture is a 100mm bridge between 2 parts of a chinook.

I highly recommend this printer for the price you pay, you get much more than what you'd expect!

Norm: Wow talk about speed and quality much better than the original kobra, use prusa slicer and you can use a usb to usb c cord to connect to your pc for direct printing. it also has a microsd card and slot. But i prefer the printer to pc hook up for better tweaking the print. You can dlownload a setting profile from Aurora Tech Channel on youtube.

Fernando Cardenas: He probado con piezas que duran hasta más de 24 horas imprimiendose y la calidad es muy aceptable. La base se calienta así que las piezas son muy fácil de retirar con una espátula y no deja residuos. No se ha cortado el hilo de impresión aunque eso no depende de la impresora sino de la calidad del plástico.

EDWARD MCGUIRE: It prints quite well, and was up and running in under 10 minutes. There are no bed leveling screws, but so long as you make sure the gantry is leveled AND squared, this isn't a problem.
ABL is done via pressing the nozzle itself against the bed to detect strain across a 25 point grid.
Heating is plenty fast, and the unit comes with a PEI-on-glass bed. For an extra 35 dollars, you can get the flex plate (which i suggest).
Cons: does not handle z-hop commands well. This results in pills all over the side of the print, and it WILL cause an aligned z seam to swell up and ruin your print.
E-steps are usually off on the extruder alone. Typically, it is 6mm short.
The filament runout sensor is on a flimsy mount, and not only flexes during retracions, but will squeak with fast retraction settings. Some oil solves the squeak for a moment, but it would benefit the sensor if it had a teflon coating, this would help.
You have to heat the unit to 220c minimum in order to auto feed or remove filament, and that cannot be changed. Why?
No manual leveling options. If the nozzle is dragging on one side, you may likely need to force the gantry to max Z height...

Glen B.: I upgraded from a 'Mega' printer as it was showing signs of age. This new one is easier to set up (by far) and was pretty much ready to go right out of the box. So far, very impressed. Pretty easy to set up, and the packaging was really really good. No complaints at all. Looking forward to another upgrade in 3 or 4 years, they really do keep improving. For the $ it's quite a deal.

Guillermo Morcos: cuando menos la que yo compre no salio buena muy dificil nivelarla y ademas presentaba otros detalles tal vez me toco una defectuosa, no la recomiendo,

ladyvipaka: This is my second 3D printer (first was an Ender 3 Pro), and it runs much more reliably and prints with higher detail than the Ender 3 Pro did.
However, few things worth noting about this printer, especially for beginners.

1) Installation is *not* 1-2-3 steps easy as shown in their marketing video. You have to hold the printer almost completely upside-down to get screws into it, which sometimes trap cords underneath the frame bits, and after you've finished with the elbow grease assembly (screwing the frame together, screwing the LCD panel in, clamping the filament holder in), then you have to plug in virtually *all* the cords for this thing. For every step motor (4?), for the LCD screen, 3 for the hotend, connect the tubing, connect the larger black cord etc. Thankfully the cords are at least labelled with X, Y, ZR etc but the places they are meant to be plugged into are not labelled. Didn't count, but felt like there were at least 12 cords that needed to be plugged in to various places. Then after that, you have to channel your inner contortionist to cut all the zip ties that are buried on this printer without nicking any of the necessary cords or...
