After bed calibration it is time time to print something.Anycubic has prepared and sliced a model with two owls which you can find on the SD card from the printer package.
This is how the test file looks like in the Cura slicer.
Before printing anything you need to prepare the 3D printer.Put filament roll on the filament holder and take it through the filament run-out sensor.
Apply pressure – Push this part with a finger counterclockwise and push as many filament as you can through the extruder and bowden tube.
Now is time to move filament through the nozzle.Anycubic i3 Mega S has already defined procedures like filament in and filament remove and we will use them.Click on Tools in the LCD menu.
Click on Filament In.This feature heats up the nozzle to 230°C and it starts pushing filament in until you press STOP.Press STOP when the filament starts flowing through the nozzle.
Insert SD card from Anycubic into the printer.You can locate SD slot next to the filament holder.
You will see only this file from your original SD card.Click on PRINT.
As you can see in this picture, bed has already reached desired temperature – 60°C.Extruder is heating up at the moment to 200°C.Once the temperature is achieved, printer will home to (x, y, z)= [0, 0, 0] and will start printing.
Very carefully watch the first layer.If the nozzle touches the bed, you need to press STOP on LCD and recalibrate your bed.
Fast assembly, super-convenient auto-levelling system and some top features make the Anycubic Vyper 3D printer sound like one of the best 3D printers under $400 and a great alternative to Creality CR-6 SE.
But a closer look at this FDM machine reveals its pros and cons and sets a question whether it is designed for newbies or meant for advanced users only.
Gambody has received another home 3D printer for testing.
This time, we will review the Anycubic Vyper 3D printer with a fantastic auto-levelling system.
Many 3D printing enthusiasts have heard about this latest machine offered by Anycubic, and many of those who have tested it praise it.
Thus, it becomes interesting to look at the Vyper specs, compare its price and run test prints of demo and premium quality 3D printing models.
Besides, the upcoming partnership between Anycubic and Gambody promises many fantastic 3D printing bundles for enthusiasts who love working with highly detailed STL files and the best 3D printers.
The official website offers the latest Anycubic Vyper 3D printer at $359 as of September 2021.
It is more expensive than the price of Longer LK5 Pro ($297 when on sale), Creality Ender-3 V2 ($279), ELEGOO Neptune 2 ($179) or Voxelab Aquila ($169) (you can read the Voxelab Aquila review in our blog).
Yet, it is cheaper than Creality CR-6 SE ($379-$399) or Anycubic Mega Pro ($399 when on sale).
So, is it indeed the best 3D printer for the money or not?
The quick shipping time amazes many users.
