Got an Anycubic Vyper

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

Turns 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... :(

I 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.

Hi 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.

I 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

Ugh....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.

Ron

Have one on the way based on this. :::fingers crossed::: :)

Hi 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

How long does it take to build? And is there a lot tinkering around or is plug and play

Thanks for sharing Jon:)

Go ahead and post away, I'd love to see them myself:)

I love mine and I barley know what I’m doing and have had no issues.

That would be cool!

Go with a 'true' coreXY for that big format.

Excellent! 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.

I'm sure it will still be a super nice printer in six months and at a lower price:)

I'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.

must resist urge...I REALLY need a fdm printer for terrain...but money is...well tight.

Have you tried their Chiron model? Been weighing farm expansion but need build area and those looked promising.
