    The AnyCubic Vyper is a new addition of the AnyCubic 3D printers line that aims to fix several issues that may prevent some people from getting into 3D printing. As its first automatic leveling FDM printer, the Vyper is both easy to set up and use within 30 minutes of opening the box.
    The novice-friendly setup and interface are two notable features here. I have managed to get through almost an entire roll of filament during testing with little issue, save a couple issues I had with my octoprint setup
    From opening the box to printing your first test print takes less than a half-hour, and if you’ve put together and set up these types of printers before, it’s even quicker. I had assembled the printer in 5 min and spent another 5 or so doing the first auto level.
    By selecting 'Auto-leveling' you'll start the process, the Vyper carefully probes 16 different locations on the printer bed, making gentle contact on the surface with the nozzle using a pressure sensor. this take less than three minutes to complete, and this calibration is saved, eliminating the need to make frequent adjustments, I generally do a level at the start of my printing day or if I have remove the build plate to clean or remove a print for good measure.
    The automatic leveling feature is easy to find on the interface, clearly labeled on the home screen alongside options to prepare and preheat your filament of choice.
    The heated bed and flexible spring-steel build plate are also exceptional on the Vyper. These features make removing projects easy, and the textured surface didn’t seem to pick up any fingerprints. I have also Printed on the smooth side of the build plate using TPU and PLA results were like using a glass bed. Yet another plus for the Vyper
    The 32-bit motherboard and an ARM Cortex-M3 GD32F103 chip ensure that the Vyper is capable for high speed prints while keeping relatively quiet. Most of the noise comes from the powerful dual 4010 blower fan’s and motherboard fan rather than the movement of the printer itself, and while it's far from silent the levels are low enough to not be a issue.
    Noise measured at around 59 dB while fans were at 100%. turning the fans down would cut that noise out a bit. But, while the fans may be the noisiest part of the unit, once you leave the room, you can barely hear the Vyper. It's also nice to see a wide variety of filament choices that you can use for this printer. I generally do most printing with PLA but tested TPU and PETG with no problems with the extruder or actual printing.


    I did a series of benchmarks and test prints and the AnyCubic Vyper is a very impressive printer straight out of the box. I didn't have any failed prints during testing despite minimal adjustments to the provided settings and cura profile, the Vyper prints were very clean.
    I printed pretty much nonstop for weeks during my review, and nothing seemed to be having any issues or strain at all. Belts and motors are all working fine after easily 100+ hours of printing.
    So is the Anycubic Vyper worth it? If you’re a beginner to 3D printing, absolutely! Even if you’re an experienced maker the Vyper has everything you need out of the box for fantastic Prints.
