- Printing MASSIVE wargaming buildings.. how hard can it be? Using the new Anycubic Vyper, I unbox, set up, use and review this latest 3D FDM Printer. I'll be printing a giant tree top watchtower for D&D, World of Warcraft and Age of Sigmar.

This was a great introductory video, Oliver. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what you do with that building in the end - FDM really shines in the hands of amazing terrain crafters like you and Luke. Cheers, and thanks again for the plug! Big hug mate
Thanks for not only the files, but for all of your help! I'm reallt excited to see how the whole board looks in the end. 🥰
What terrain would you like to see on the channel? I will be printing more of these buildings to use on a huge AoS/Warcry table. Quite hyped! 😀 What has your experience been with printed terrain?
Awesome video Ollie! Seeing as I mostly play DND and MESBG, I love seeing medieval fantasy type terrain. My biggest dislike is always the very visible layer lines. And because I usually use drybrushing for my terrain, this makes it doubley visible. I tried sanding it, but with intricate bits, that doesn't always work. So I'd love to see you tackle these issues with cool Fantasy terrain bits from companies like Printable Scenery and Infinite Dimensions!
you should do a 3D printed version of the Playmobile battle arena! (Or, a bloodbowl stadium i guess)
There quite a lot of miniature STL creators, but not that many terrain designers. Danny has a lot of quality STLs, but I would suggest you to check 3DHexes. He's a AoS/Warcry player and he usually make STLs with these systems in mind.
Great video! I print a lot of terrain myself for the Warhammer gaming group I play with and I have had a lot of great feedback! Check out warlayer terrain at warlayer.com; they have a lot of great pieces for tabletop gaming with a futuristic theme...everything from buildings to bridges, vats-and-pipe system, even a really cool train! Good terrain does take a while to print, but I find it gives a unique flair and is very satisfying knowing that I can bring that excitement for new pieces to the game!!
A quick tip....set your printer to print overnight....once the first layer is down and set it should be fine....I have my Prusa I3 Mk3 and Creality CR6 SE running while I am at work and while sleeping....it is a great way to maximize print time for large projects!
I started a print yesterday morning, it finished at midnight, i set another one at midnight that was finished this morning. and started one about 30 min ago. I should be able to glue the 3 parts together and prime it tonight. Airbrush it tomorrow and have a large frigate ship for my players on monday when they hit the high seas. Pretty nuts how far this tech has come.
Its crazy isn't it!? I really love this printer, still got it chugging away even now. 😀
Looks marvelous. I cannot wait to see the finished treehouse.
Personally I find FDM printing a lot more fun than resin. It's easy to clean up after fails, no mess and little or no post-processing. You can't argue with the quality of resin, but to me it's more of a chore compared to FDM printing, which is actually a fun process.
Me too, I didn't enjoy resin printing (although a wash and cure might make it a little better) much.
I found this to be easy, clean and simple. It was just plug and print! 😀
Resin definitely looks better, but this is just so easy.. and im sure with some tweaking, I can improve on the prints.
i own a resin printer since 2 months and printed a lot. the post-process quickly becomes an easy routine. and i dont even own a wash and cure station. curious to try fdm printing though
Looks damn good for a test print! I'm thinking of picking this up as they first attempt at 3d printing - the idea of getting a couple of boards easily printed is really appealing and this looks like the best way to do it.
Totally agreed. I love board builds, but not sure how I could make something like this.. its just easier, and you have access to so many different sculpts. I'm really excited to play with it a little more..😀
Great video dude! Been tempted a few times to get one of these for terrain, that came out looking great!
That's awesome. Looking forward to the full build and painting. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! 😀
What a coincidence, I've literally spent the last week or so printing out one of the other buildings from that kickstarter. I'll be interested to see how you paint and finish it!
Looks awesome!
Got my first fdm printer 2 months ago. With some tinkering, I have a Reaver titan. So much win. Love this technology and can't wait to see how it will change the hobby,
I’m awaiting my Vyper and purchased Black Scrolls City of Turok STLs. Can’t wait to see how this is going to work! It will be my first FDM project. Also agree that resin can be a pain to clean up! Cheers mate!
I am leaning on ordering one as well. They look like the print quality is great and the price is also good for a first time user. We have a professional one at work my main focus is playing around with Cad
Awesome terrain piece
Nice video, you forgot to peel the brim off the base of the Bell 😁👍
Haha, yeah. Noob mistake. 😅 Fear not, it's sorted now. 😊
Thanks for this review as it is very helpful. I had heard of the Vyper but I did not see any reviews concerning miniatures. The prints look great and it is a printer I am now considering buying.
Just got one as my first 3D printer. Hoping I didn't make the wrong choice. Seems like a really nice printer.
I still use it now, over a year later. It's a good bit of kit. I've certainly refined the process a bit since then too. 😀
This video was great to see! I was just looking at this exact printer and I'm in the boat of "let's make this as easy as possible". Thanks matey!
You're welcome. 😀 I've used it loads now, and love it. Managed to refine the process a little and it now has its own profile on the software. DO IT!
@@BroadswordWargaming that's awesome to hear! Yeah I'm keen to get an army going and start printing some Proxies...now to decide on which army 😅
That's one big piece of terrain, centerpiece to any table. The layer lines are barely noticeable which has always been something I disliked from filament prints. This is quickly becoming an option to resin for larger pieces. Great video!
FDM is getting better all the time. I have a lot of 3D printed terrain and whilst you can see the lines if you inspect a piece closely, when they are on the board they don't stand out from other non-3d printed pieces.
Nice. I should get the Vyper I purchased in a few days and it'll be my first FDM printer. The quality you're getting with practically no settings adjustments is encouraging, cannot wait to see more! (BTW it looks like you forgot to remove the brim from the bell)
Ha, I didn't notice. Woops! 😅
I'm looking forward to having a play about with the settings and improving the next print. I did absolutely nothing wjth the settings here, just plugged it in and pressed print. I was impressed! Hope you enjoy yours 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming Wow! This is what your getting by default out of the box with zero tuning... that is exciting! Hope you get more filament to finish off the legs soon.
Great video. Next you should print a 3D model of Luke to live in the watch tower.
Haha. Yes! I love it.
I can see pros FDM printers have over resin,but I care about the end product far more than the process itself because I paint models and terrain for display,so the better they look the more happy I'll be whenever I look at them on their display shelf. Since I don't play warhammer myself I use terrain as part of the presentation and I want all of it to look as good as possible.
If that means having one kinda smelly room in the house and sometimes having to clean up then that's okay.
I am looking for a good FDM printer to print a lot of big wargaming scenery/terrain. How does the Anycubic Vyper compare to for instance the creality CR-10?
I prefer build volume and speed to model detail. Is it worth it looking upwards to for example a Prusa i3 MK3?
I cannt get build my STL Files.
May I ask yor retraction settings ?
I'm using PLA PRO1
If time is not pressing, print smaller layer heights. I imagine your vyper came with a 0.4mm nozzle, which is a fine mid sized universal nozzle size, but if you change it for a 0.2mm nozzle, you can easily print at 0.05mm layers, and with some fine tuning you can print at 0.03mm layers. It takes a billion years to print at those heights, but you can get resin like quality out of an fdm printer.
The best way to reduce print times with large multi-part high-resolution FDM prints is multiple printers! I got into printing thinking I'd only ever have one printer and I now have more than I'm willing to admit and they run continuously.
@@haku-jin lol, me too.. now i have 4, and 2 resin.
@@haku-jin I can see this happening. MORE PRINTERS NEEDED
Top video man
Wow looks awesome! Hope you do some more videos! What do you think of this printer now? Thanks
Cheap 3d printers are great until something breaks. Then you have to learn how to fix it, that is where people tend to give up with it.
FDM printers are definitely more of a hobby in themselves. I've dismantled mine countless times, replaced most of the key components at least once and installed a ton of upgrades and modifications. If you enjoy tinkering with machines like I do, that's not a problem. But if you just want a tool that's easy to use, budget FDM probably isn't for you.
@@EternalQuestion Agreed. I find FDM printing rewarding especially with higher quality filaments and there are ways to smooth them, make them tougher and make certain types of filaments hold up to heat well. But yeah, like I said the amount of moving parts that can wear out make the FDM game a chore/ hobby. The lcd/ sla printers out there now make a much nicer print and has far fewer moving parts but I find the resin to be expensive, espeically the less brittle/ touger resins. Overall thought I find the resin printing to be a more fun experience after I understand how to make things less messy with the resin pouring and cleaning etc.
Did you ever print the full table and get it all painted up?
For an out of the box printer and profile, your print result is quite good. With a bit of fine tuning, you should be able to get excellent results. Be patient though. FDM printers are not fast :-)
Care to share the slicer settings used to make that print?
wasn't trying to be cheeky, just trying to sort out my vyper. just trying to find out what is working out there.
If you use cura what are the settings you would use for good looking prints?
Ooo, I think I have it set to the vyper. I now use a slightly hitter nozzle at 210 and a printer bed at 62. As long as it's all level, you'll have no problems. 😀
Are these printers noisy (have never used a 3D printer). For such a long print time could it be working away in the office while I work or would it be a distraction?
Not particularly loud, no. When it's running, it's kind of the same sound as a photocopier.. if you know what I mean? You can turn the light off too, so it works in the dark. 😀
I was eating lunch while watching this and I swore that you said you loaded the file on to the card and put it into Ciara which gave me a second of wondering where you'd found your android assistant 😂 Great video Oli!
Haha. She would be the most expensive printer around.. just in takeaways alone. 😅
@@BroadswordWargaming Looooooooooool!!
Tipp: get a bigger nozzle (eg 0.6mm). You can still print fine layer lines but will safe a lot of time - and if you’re not printing tiny stuff you’ll be fine. Just make sure to adjust your slicer profile accordingly. You also might want to check out prusa slicer. Great piece of software (it’s for free).
Oh thanks so much for the info! 😀 I'll have to check that out and give it a whirl. Thanks! 😊
@@BroadswordWargaming this is actually pretty informative: blog.prusaprinters.org/everything-about-nozzles-with-a-different-diameter_8344/
@@BroadswordWargaming it is actually also possible to just increase your extrusion width in the slicer with a stock nozzle to speed up print time. Obviously you can push it even more with a bigger nozzle.
Personally I don't mind if it takes a week to print out a big terrain piece though, so I prefer to use a stock nozzle and default extrusion width and get better quality.
It takes me way more than a week to paint a huge piece like that, so the printer is still more than fast enough to increase my backlog anyway!
Dude I need to get one of those I have a printer but it's not great it can't produce that detail and the instructions came in Chinese
very awesome. Is there any way you can reduce those print lines?
Hey, thanks! Yeah, you can actually get finer lines (it'll take longer) and almost eliminate them. Yet to try it, but will do on the next bits! 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming looking forward to it
Would love to see a village with an inn
Yeah, im so up for that. This set has an Inn, in a tree! Going to be so fun. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming the sap n' suds tavern.... It's a pretty epic piece, make sure you buy several spools on advance for that one 😉
Thank you , Broadsword Wargaming .
Nice print , looking forward to seeing it finished , Thanks Oli' .
Is it cheaper to order an already printed miniature or to buy the STL file and find someone else to print it?
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure. I think it'd depend on how many you wanted to print. Alot of libraries and things have 3d printers in now! Worth finding someone and seeing what they'd charge. 😀
@@BroadswordWargaming Thanks man! I will check my library then!
The print quality and speed of my Anycubic Vyper are not exactly good. I noticed that with Linear Advance the bulges at the corners are less. The only problem is, Anycubic has not activated this feature. Can you help here? It should work with Pressure Advance too, but I haven't found a way with Windows yet. Whereby Pressure Advance should help the Vyper to improve quality and speed. Could you possibly make a video about these possibilities. Thanks in advance.
Mein Anycubic Vyper ist von der Druck-Qualität und Geschwindigkeit nicht gerade gut. Habe mitbekommen, dass mit Linear Advance die Wülste an den Ecken weniger werden. Problem ist nur, Anycubic hat dieses Feature nicht frei geschalten. Kannst Du hier weiter helfen? Mit Pressure Advance sollte es auch gehen, aber mit Windows habe ich noch keine Möglichkeit gefunden. Wobei Pressure Advance den Vyper zur besseren Qualität und Geschwindigkeit verhelfen soll. Könntest Du eventuell über diese Möglichkeiten ein Video machen. Danke im Voraus.
A few good coats of filler primer and you're good to go. 👍
Yes dude get the board made and then when the time is right get those bloody bat reps back on here 🤣
Haha. I think we are going to play a game next week! OooOooOoo.
There are a few things I would recommend. Calibrate your extruder: 3dprintbeginner.com/extruder-calibration-guide/.
After that I would recommend getting a Cura Profile, I personally opted for the one from here:
mpox.gumroad.com/l/vyper
And your first layer needs a bit of optimization I think, maybe need to adjust the z offset via the touchscreen. You can search for bed leveling squares on thingiverse and just take the 20x20 version.
Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take a look. 😀
Is it cheaper though?
I think in the long run, it probably is. The upfront cost is a reasonable chunk, but if you wanted to print lots of scstter/ruins off (not crazy big projects like this), I think it would be.. and you can pretty much find ANYTHING online now. 😀
i’m waiting for mine to come it’s been 23 days shipping takes so long😔
It'll get there. Stay strong brother.
i never understand when people say fdm is easier their just seems like their is way more points of failure for those printers
I found the process to be so much better. I find the post clean up work with resin to be a bit of a chore, and I have having to clean out the resin vat too. It's definitely down to personal choice though. 😀
