Got an Anycubic Vyper
Added 2021-08-02 20:35:51 +0000 UTCHey folks, I picked up one of these on the early bird offer for $300. it is now up on Anycubic
for $360 which is already $60 cheaper than what they said they would sell them for. Anyways if you are looking for a 3d printer, this thing seems bad ass so far. I thought their claims were a little much out of the gate but they got it fairly close. I haven't pushed it real hard yet but so far it has done these settings with no quality issue
.2 MM Layers
100 mm print speed/inner wall
150 travel/infill
60 mm outer wall
40mm base/top
Vs My Qidi and anycubic imega the above print was produced at similar quality
with 10% infill at the following times 3/3 top bottom 2 walls. One note, I did 3 walls on the vyper on accident but that is not much to account for
Anycubic IMega 8:45
Qidi Max 7:20
Qidi Plus 6:30
ANycubic Vyper 5:15
The magnetic sand paper print plate is the best I've used. The auto leveling is the first one I've used that actually worked out of the box, and that experience includes some very expensive printers. They have concentric Nuts on track wheels to properly tighten the print head and print bed onto the V rails. So it is a little more work to set up than the older anycubic. It is quiet and smooth. I know there are other printers using some of this stuff and I don't get to try a lot of them out but wanted to share my experience on this. For the $300 I paid, it felt like a great deal. I think it will be a good deal at $360 and even better if you want to wait for it to drop another level or two.

I habeI bought it a week ago for 309 euros, I'm about to open a tabletop print store and also want to offer filament things, so he is my first :) and when I saw your files, I was blown away :) exactly what I was looking for my store, now only a little practice pure get in the filament printing
2021-10-19 02:46:27 +0000 UTCTurns out Anycubic is out of stock (what a shock) of the sensors right now so I have a very large and expensive paper weight. What a joke... :(

2021-08-27 19:06:24 +0000 UTCI thought it was a filament issue, too. But it looks like a hotend issue (which is a bigger problem). While my Vyper is out of commission, I picked up an Ender 3 V2. Wow, that is a great machine. The print quality is much better. The problem is that you don't get bed auto-leveling or the speed of the Vyper.

2021-08-25 17:19:08 +0000 UTCHi Matthew. Yeah, that sounds more like what I am used to with these bed sensors. Thanks for sharing. I'll hold off on getting more of these till some more time passes. Did you figure out what the jam was? 90% of the time I find it is usually a filament issue or a loose hex nut on a drive wheel. I guess 10% of the time it is a temp regulation issue on the hotend, especially with anycubics.
2021-08-25 16:23:04 +0000 UTCI have had one problem after another with my Vyper. I have a new bed sensor coming out too, but now the filament is jammed in the hothead. The product is so close to being great but the core functionality / QC is lacking

2021-08-23 15:39:12 +0000 UTCUgh....just received it today only to find out that it has a bad sensor (apparently that's a thing with this printer). Soooo.....I'll be waiting another 2 weeks while it finds its way here from China. :( First thoughts though.....OMG - kinda small (although I'm used to a Snapmaker 2). Takes up a TON of space due to the boneheaded way they attach the mount for the filament roll. That's all I got since I haven't even got to the test print stage.

2021-08-20 00:48:03 +0000 UTCHave one on the way based on this. :::fingers crossed::: :)

2021-08-17 17:47:36 +0000 UTCHi Sasan. It is fast, maybe 15 minutes. It is just putting in 4 screws to assemple and then tighten 2 concentric nuts on extruder track and two under the bed. The auto level works so no time there past waiting for it to run. And I have not had to redo it yet
2021-08-06 00:03:11 +0000 UTCHow long does it take to build? And is there a lot tinkering around or is plug and play
2021-08-05 23:32:00 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing Jon:)
2021-08-04 21:09:08 +0000 UTCGo ahead and post away, I'd love to see them myself:)
2021-08-03 13:16:53 +0000 UTCI love mine and I barley know what I’m doing and have had no issues.
2021-08-03 12:31:57 +0000 UTCThat would be cool!

2021-08-03 00:42:55 +0000 UTCGo with a 'true' coreXY for that big format.

2021-08-03 00:42:18 +0000 UTCExcellent! I thought about getting the Viper at the release price but couldn't commit without seeing some hands on reviews. It will surely go an sale again in the future.

2021-08-03 00:13:33 +0000 UTCI'm sure it will still be a super nice printer in six months and at a lower price:)
2021-08-02 23:05:50 +0000 UTCI'm not sure where they are at with the Chiron. I would mention, the issue with the older large format printers is that have heavy glass beds so they have to slow them down which is the last thing you need with larger format. I will say I was warned off that specific model when it came out due to it's power use issues. I have a first gen large format(not the anycubic) that barely got used because it was so slow it was useless.
2021-08-02 23:04:52 +0000 UTCmust resist urge...I REALLY need a fdm printer for terrain...but money is...well tight.

2021-08-02 22:02:35 +0000 UTCHave you tried their Chiron model? Been weighing farm expansion but need build area and those looked promising.
