![]() ![]() Even worse, they’ve decreased the contrast by strangely placing the black text on grey backgrounds, making it even harder to read than it should be. As you can see in this image, the key values are displayed in very small text, which makes it hard for my old eyes to read. The screen is quite large, yet the area does not seem to be well used. When you strike a button, you know you’ve got it. The touch interface is quite responsive as opposed to some other touchscreens I’ve used recently. ![]() It seems to be a grey-scale screen, rather than a color touchscreen, but color doesn’t really matter much for this type of display. The menus are easy to follow, although I might suggest they do a bit of redesign. The Vyper includes a touchscreen, which is notable for such an inexpensive machine. It’s an easy process and you’ll end up with the latest Ultimaker Cura software ready to go. Instead you’ll have to download the latest Ultimaker Cura release (which you will be doing sooner or later anyway) and install the required profiles for the Vyper. One software issue encountered was that the version of Ultimaker Cura shipped is not compatible with the latest version of Mac OS, which is the platform I tried to run the software. Using Ultimaker Cura to slice 3D models for the Anycubic Vyper desktop 3D printer Anycubic don’t make their own, so they recommend using Ultimaker Cura, which is used by many other manufacturers and is quite easy to use. Like all 3D printers, the Vyper requires a slicing system. ![]() While the printed instructions were otherwise good, this is something that could be added. It’s actually a bit hard to notice unless you turn the machine upside down.īe sure to remove this tie wrap before you 3D print.Īlso, it may help if Anycubic provided a graphic in the instructions showing the location of all the tie downs that require removal. This one keeps the Y-axis from shifting during shipment, and is very well-hidden under the print bed. After some further investigation, I noticed this: Hidden shipping tie-wraps on the Anycubic Vyper desktop 3D printer It turns out I missed one of the shipping tie downs.Īs the Y-axis moved, I heard a loud squeak. I had one challenge during assembly that I didn’t realize until after I attempted to startup the machine. This will be incredibly valuable should there ever be a jam: you can literally see the jam! Clear extruder in action on the Anycubic Vyper desktop 3D printer The extruder is made from transparent material on the Anycubic Vyper desktop 3D printer! Įven better, the extruder’s outer case is made from completely transparent plastic so you can actually see inside the extruder as it works. ![]()
