OctoPi/ OctoPrint setup on Anycubic Vyper
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Appears some people are frightened of delving into the wonderful world that is OctoPi for fear of the setup. It really is not at all difficult to do, but for those that learn visually here's part one in the setup videos. Please note: I made an error setting the pi cam, although it works, you should pref use the native picam resolutions which for picam v1.3 would be 1296x730 NOT 1440 x 720 as I ...
Vyper Colour Change At Exact Layer

If you have Octoprint, pronterface or dodgy firmware you can use pause at height in Cura to pause the print and change filament then resume..

Watch the vid for details, and if you want to just copy and paste the codes then just paste in this to the layer you want an alert o...
Anycubic Vyper Filament Loading Unloading Manually
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The load/ unload filament on the screen is probably the single most useless feature I ever saw on a printer! Besides the fact it heats up to 230c for whatever reason I dont know, and gives no option to change it, its slow and painful. Just load and unload manually, quick, easy, and whatever temp you want..

Vyper Extruder Grub Screws Issue
มุมมอง 3.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
A common issue that many people have with the Vyper (and its common to many BMG clones) is the grub screws coming loose. Its a very simple and quick fix or preventive routine.. If you are hit with this problem, you may find the vyper making clicking noises or grating noises when retracting and feeding filament, holes and gaps in layers, and eventually total loss of filament extrusion.

Anycubic Vyper Hotend Dissasembly/ Reassembly
มุมมอง 31K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The single greatest cause of nozzle blockages, and especially repeated nozzle blockages, is from incorrectly installed bowden tubes. It is not enough to just shove these things in and hope for the best, there is a method you need to follow and this is it. I disassemble the hotend in this vid and show you how to correctly assemble and fit the bowden tube. I forgot to say how to rectify the issue...

    @Just 3D Printing, hoffe mal habe alles korrekt verstanden! meine Muttersprache ist nämlich Schweizer Deutsch. Aus versehen hab ich auch den X-Y Riemen ausgebaut konnte Ihn dank deiner Hilfe wieder erfolgreich zusammen Bauen. Wollte aber eigentlich den Sensor der Z-Achse auf Funktionskontrolle kontrollieren, dafür musste ich aber erst mal das Gehäuse der Düse Heizschlange entfernen, wo sind auch der Sensor befindet. Weil die Düse fährt mit der Z-Achse beim Eichen einfach in die Platte, darum wurde Mir geraten ich soll den Sensor der Z-Achse erst mal kontrollieren. Du könnest nicht auch ein Video über das Gehäuse machen, wo Sich die Düse mit dem Heizelement, Sensor mit bestückten Platine machen wie man es auseinander Baut und wieder zusammen Baut?

    Brilliantly explained! But I have a question. There is a strain gauge at the top. When I autolevel my Vyper, the first two autolevel probers work fine. But when it gets to the third probe, it smashes down on the bed. Many have told me that the strain gauge is bad, but if it were bad, why would it work for the first two and always quit on the third? I don't want to buy another gauge and just "maybe" have it work, when it might be something wrong with the hot end or even something else. Can anyone give me a clue what might be wrong, or is it the strain gauge for sure. And if so, please explain how it could work twice and always fail on the third?

    Hi, Just one may be small question . How can we know the normal calibration on the filament of the screw. Is there only by checking the filament if we remove the tube and extrude 100mm for example. And if the answer is yes. What could be the apparence of the filament to know if it is not to much or not to low. Thanks in advance for any info or picture about the correct aspect of the filament when it is weell done . All you video on maintenance on the Vyper are nice thanks

    Hi, Just have some issue with me Vyper. Sometime my print feel ok for me sometime not. People says look at you calibrations (heat, filament size , length of 100mmm , Z offset , ETC... ) . I just change the tube by the blue one (call capricorn , everyone says It is the best I follow). But yesterday I print two parts at 220°c for Sunlu coffee PLA then nothing my printer was not able to push any filament even if I push with pronterface my heat to 240°C and I push manually on the filament. So this morning I decide to disassembly the hotend. The day pass I work on other bussiness to help my neighbor and now I check how to make this job. I find your video... I have only two words Thank a lot. I will try now tomorrow with more confidence on this job it is my first time to touch on hardaware of the printer. Really appreciate this video.

    Cheers! This fixed the issue I was still having after cleaning and re-adjusting multiple times. Like another commenter, I didn’t have much if any gap after tightening. However the tube was down as far as I could get it (checking multiple times and marking estimated depth with a marker). It’s printing fine, but I’ll check after a few prints to confirm there’s no leakage.

    I can't thank you enough for giving the best alternative method I've seen so far, not to mention, the only one that actually worked! I did have one small issue though. Although I was very impressed with how you couldn't even see any line where it had continued on yours, mine you could. Would you have any idea why that might be happening? If not, it's cool, I'll just deal with it.

  • @u2bist
    @u2bist 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks! The printer comes with very little documentation. The problem with auto-load is that it doesn't know when it's finished, so you have to watch it to manually stop it. Might as well just shove it through by hand and be done.

    This is strange. I have a vyper and I took the belt tensioner apart and there was an extra black piece in there…so there was one with the tightening screw in it and one without. Did you have that as well? I left it out since you didn’t have it in your video and my belt feels like it moves more smoothly

    My thermistor wires keep breaking away from the heatblock. I've gone through 3 or 4 hotends already. The wires seem to degrade with heat and motion. I was thinking of getting some heat resistant epoxy and sealing the thermistor wires in place, could that potentially work?

    • @LouisePaisleyUK
      @LouisePaisleyUK 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@user-nq2cl1dn5e there should be no need to seal them.. On the vyper, older versions, there is a wee screw next to the hole the therm goes in, that screw should be LIGHTLY tightened onto the wires to hold it in place. On kobra max or new hotends the thermistor is metal clad ina wee tube and is held in by a grub screw, again this should only need light tightening and the thermistor should be fully inserted so the screw contacts the metal case.. The connectors on the board are somewhat shite and the plastic can pull off the board pins, a bit of hot glue on the side if the connector and the board should hold the socket on the board and then there should be no issue just plugging in the therm. There should be virtually no movement of the therm wires because the whole print head and everything moves together so its highly unlikely tht movement is contributing

      @user-nq2cl1dn5e 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks, was referring to the connector on the wires that plugs into the board. Also yes, the plastic bits do come off the pins very easily but the wires connecting into the male connector bit that goes into the female plastic bit on the board is the one where the wires are completely loose. Thanks for the advice with some glue. @@LouisePaisleyUK

    First of all, thank you for the video. I didn't actually understand how to fix the radiator, which, in order to be aligned with the holes relative to the hot end, needs to be unscrewed by about ten degrees. Once the Teflon tube is inserted and the nozzle is closed, the missing part of the radiator is still soft and rotates, causing the plastic to come out from the top of the hot end.

    Hey ho, thanks for the video. CUrrently I found different explanations about the bowden tube. Some telling, the nozzle and the Heatbreak should fit together, without the bowden tube between, you mention, that I should apply the hotend, then the nozzle and into the gap the bowden. Is both possible ? I am confused but very new to the 3d Printer topic. Thanks.

    • @Just3DPrinting
      @Just3DPrinting ปีที่แล้ว

      Some people advise backing out the bowden connector at the top of the heatsync and screwing nozzle in fully then fit bowden and tighten connector.. Imo this tends to damage the bowden when the connector it tightened and is an inferior method.. Backing out the nozzle, fitting the bowden, then tightening the nozzle fully gives the best compression of the bowden and seal onto the nozzle, in my experience it is the most effective method by far
