I reported this back to anycubic a couple of weeks ago and together we have been looking for the solution. I thought my issue was an isolated innocent as the hot-end crashed and went off centre.
A few points:

Thanks for the video I ordered a Vyper 2 weeks ago will keep an eye on it when it arrives.
Currently saving up to snag this printer, trying to prepare myself for any of these issues ahead of time. Much appreciated for your work!
I just started using my Vyper a bit more, and I'm thankful you put out this video - I'll keep an eye and see what happens over time.
Hey dude! It seems that if you have the problem it tends to be instant. There looks to be a faulty batch of sensors as the replacement is working really well now. It’s frustrating to new users and disappointing.. it’s just one of those things and a great example of new product in the wild experiencing a major issue which looks previously undiagnosed.
@@TheRealSamPrentice It wasn't instant on mine. It worked fine for a month. The problem is in the design. If it happens to hit a bump in the print it'll stress the gauge and they are really sensitive. It's just a poor design that should be done away with.
Same problem here! thank you for the video.
Hi Sam. Got a Vyper on 2nd October 2021 and it printed the 'owl'and that came out really well. Quite impressive. (Should say I have now had 4 Anycubic printers - 2 x i3 Megas, 1 x i3 Mega Pro, and now the Vyper. The first 3 have been good, solid workhorses).
Now the Vyper - as I say, it initially printed very well for 3 or 4 small prints, then simply stopped. After some hassles with Anycubic Support, I finally managed to upgrade the firmware to v2.4.5, which I was assured would fix the problem - it didn't. After another prolonged bout of communication with Support they sent me a new Sensor Gauge. I waited four weeks for it then installed it per their video instructions. Still won't work and when I hit 'auto-level' the entire machine just freezes and I have to turn off the power.
After watching your video I have decided to re-do the fitting of the sensor gauge (although I know I did it correctly ) and see what happens. At the moment, Anycubic don't seem t be able to help with this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed as the machine is only a few months old and has only printed 3-4 things and is now 'useless'.
Cheers, Noel
Same problem with two week old printer. All started when I tried to swap out nozzle.
Just hit this same problem myself too! Waiting to hear back from Anycubic about it, was hoping there was a cheap part on Amazon I could've just bought.
this happened to me and its sad considering i just got the printer, but thank you for pointing out the problem this really helped❤️
Hey, thanks a lot for the video. I'm having the same issue with my Vyper. Assembled it today, autoleveled, made the owl, tried a second print and it just started crashing into the heat bed. Reading all these comments makes me feel a bit comforted that I'm not the only one but that it's common - though it of course is a bit sad that it's a common issue in the first place.
Contacted support and hoping for the best.
Thank you for your kind words, i'm just about to unbox another one so lets see how this goes ;)
Thank you so much for putting this video out. its the exact thing im seeing my printer do so hopefully i can get myself a replacement all the same
They are usually pretty quick if you don’t hear back let me know as I have a few people I can call in to assist
Thanks, I am not the only one then..... Same problem here at my new Vyper. Made a ticket at Anycubic support. Waiting for their solution.
Thanks for the video. Just received my printer less than 24 hours ago and have the exact same issue. Reaching out to anycubic to get a sensor replacement.
Sorry to hear that Zac! It does get better I promise !!
Just got this problem today also. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your video!
Unfortunately, the issue still occurs. It happened on my new vyper as well, even after firmware update... LED and leveling working very well, but after some prints crashed into the bed and LED wasn't working anymore....
Thanks for your video, i received my vyper 2 weeks ago and i had this problem after 2 prints !! i was desperate and sent a mail to anycubic but no answer from them yet, and with your video and the link to send a ticket, i just done it and hope they will react and send me a new sensor !! and hope too that this problem will not come again in the futur !!
thanks you i will give a follow of my story about this sensor ^^
The video is very clear indeed. Thank you again. I contacted the support by sending the photographs of the malfunction after being able to disassemble the extruder plastic body (especially the red glue of the clip which was a pain in the ... :))). They confirmed that the "Strain Gouge" is the problem and they will send me a new one. I would like to have some in stock in case it breaks again ... but I can't find any online or on the Anycubic website...
Great stuff ! Well as it’s a new product there won’t be much stock I’ll see if I can get an understanding of costs for these units
I mention elsewhere I can get a Vyper strain gauge for $29 AU but the Creality one is only $10 which sounds about right.
Hey, I've had a vyper for a few years now, just ran into this issue, and I was able to fix it by bending the calibration sensor back into place, so i think the assumption that it uses the contact to the PCB below it is correct. It had probably gotten mangled a bit when I moved and now it seems to be doing great. I wouldn't exactly suggest doing it, but if you're thinking about replacing it anyway, I'd suggest giving it a shot.
Same issue on my one day old printer. First leveling was fine but second one and several since then had been same result. Contacted tech support for this issue hopefully they will send me the sensor and rhat will fix it.
Hey, Sam thanks for the video. Looks like I have to replace this sensor. Where is the video on how to remove the glue from the clip going to the unit? I don't want to mess the machine up prying it off. Thanks in advance
I have been having issues with both CR6 SE and the Vyper. Bought an entire CR6 hotend unit for $40 AU. Could not find one for the Vyper but could get a Vyper Strain Gauge or $29 AU - the CR6 strain gauges are $10. Not impressed with Anycubic(or Creality as they never send out parts).
Yes, I perhaps broke mine at trying tighten extruder head bottom roller...
So be careful at this procedure!😮
I really thought the Vyper and the CR6-SE were going to have pretty might the same internals for the hotend assembly. The control board, nozzle, and strain gauge are all very different. I am surprised the strain gauge failed so quickly. Seems like an easy fix, hope not to many are affected by this. Great video!
Yep I thought it might just be my one but there are a few people with this issue lucky that anycubic are shipping the parts out for quick fixes :)
Not true. I have this problem on a 6 month old printer and Anycubic were unwilling to replace this part. They told me I must pay US$65. My printer is still broken. I now hate this company with a passion.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Sam have you successfully managed to get a full diagnosis on the strain gauge issue. I got a new strain gauge and I am still hitting the same issue of the nozzle smashing into the bed. Should the red light be on all the time? I need to be clear as to what the OK set up is? Red light on? And when it makes contact does the light go off or blink? Any other information gratefully received. I have a 6 week old machine that is basically useless at the moment and I am very annoyed!
@@iainsolly2575 hi Iain, which version do you have ?
@@TheRealSamPrentice hi Sam version 2.4.5 firmware. I am very fed up with this!! I changed the strain gauge and still not working. Been looking at option to use a BL touch instead. The links I’ve found are all in German!
Bro you saved me I had this problem and tried to change the nozzle assembly but it didn’t help I was going to use it as spare part to upgrade an ender 3 but as I was about to start breaking it into spare parts I had no choice but to try to fix it one more time and i came across this video you are a lifesaver I ordered the part and it is back up and running 🎉🎉🎉thank you so much for the vid and the help
Same issue for me. I leveled successfully at first but the extruder just smashed into the board at my first own print. I decided to level again and it just went straight into the bed after scratching its way to the first position. I cant even call the support since the website seems to be down. How can a manufacturer fail that hard? I guess i should have bought an old one with manual leveling.
I had this problem as I bought a returned unit for $93 USD (shipping included!!!)
I just bent it down until the light came on. Then it did a fine job leveling the bed.
Saved me spending money for a new one. I will buy a new one anyway.
I did the unboxing and first prints last week and did some other prints in the meantime, but no issues with my Vyper so far
I think it’s a batch issue mine are fine now
My first 3D printer and mine is failing the same way. It completed leveling once I printed the owl, then leveling failed it's 2 days old I've been researching and checking tensions on rollers and belts and the problems the same. You can say I'm frustrated I submitted a ticket and stumbled upon your video.
This problem made me cancel my order. It's one thing for a problem to exist, it's another for a TON of people to experience it and for the company to not only fix it immediately but to not even offer the part for sale as replacement and forcing you to go through support to request a single replacement part ... that will eventually have the same problem ... no thanks.
Does anyone know which vyper version is this with the hot glue in the tube connector?
How did you get Anycubic to send you a new pressure sensor I am having the same issue and reached out to them and got no response.
Same here! Thanks for the vídeo.
+1
Same issue here, thank you for the video.
Sorry to heat that buddy, I wish you a quick fix
Also same here...got already my second sensor replacement...its like after one or two prints the sensor is dead and you realize it normally only when you retrigger the autoleveling.
:-(
thx Sam. i got a kobra max, and untill your video i did not understand how it worked. i found the FB group as well thx to you. i am doing a mod to my kobra max converting to direct drive using the Revo hemera XS, I'm at a crossroads on where to put the auto-leveling sensor, I put the FB group to suggesting where i should put the sensor . thx again Sam.
I also have the same problem... Thanks! 😊
Yeah, similar story for me unfortunately. First leveling and a test print worked fine when I got the vyper a couple of days ago. Last night it just smashed into the bed :/
Thanks for the tip about the LED. I haven't taken off the shroud yet to confirm if it lights up or not, I want to contact support first.
Hey I know its been a whle, did this seem to solve your issue? I just got one of these and this seems to be the issue, but I'm waiting on a replacement part.
@@igobyandrew hey, yes since replacing the sensor my vyper has been going strong (still using it) and I haven't had the printer do anything weird like that again :)
Wow thats awesome! I ordered a replacement on Amazon yesterday. Hopefully it will solve the issue! Thanks for your reply!@@sonictor
Got the Vyper from a friend, trying to replace the sensor part right now. How did you screw it back into the motherboard/circuit board thing? These tiny screws are KILLING me.
Based on how the sensor looks it seems like the heat form the extruder is causing the solder to melt or losing up wires in the sensor, I'd try to remove that white glue to see exactly what's the issues because it look perfectly fine form out side.
yeah, if i receive my new sensor, i will try to remove the white glue to see what happen under this ! there are 4 cables going in it, but don't know why those 4 cables are useful or what they are for. will see and try to give you a return
I have the same problem thank you for public thia video
My vyper has been weird it fails auto levels and when printing it’s to close or to far and makes a big mess that stick to the extruder. I have changed nozzles re leveled everything and tightend all the bolts
Same on my device. Broke after the first owl print. I faffed around for ages thinking I had misconfigured something in the slicer. Finally got in touch with support and they sent me a new strain gauge. Fitted it, still did not work. Faffed around long hours again. Did not work. So I gave up on the machine and left it in the cellar till now, money down the drain. How the heck a strain gauge on a piece of metal can get broken without the metal part showing some damage is almost beyond belief.
My issue is when reassembling the print head cover, the wires are so jammed up they keep the sensor tripped. Blue light on pcb is always on even when nothing is touching the nozzle. I can’t figure out how to repack the spaghetti without putting pressure on the sensor
l was gonna get this printer as my first one but honestly after doing a bit research l am not sure anymore. Originally l was thinking to get Ender 3 V2 but wanted to get this one just because of the autolevel.
Hey Sam, is your Vyper still working with the Sensor they send you a month ago? Did they fix it yet? And is there an official statement from anycubic about this problem being fixed on shipped vyper? Because I see that this issue was 1 Month Ago or more.
Hey dude mine is fine and printing well. I’ve not seen anything further with responses from them about this issue, that being said I’ve heard that there have been components changed in the new models.. but that’s not confirmed
Got my vyper this morning direct from Anycubic, managed to get the owl file printed then immediately had the strain gauge failure - exactly as demonstrated in the video. Have a support case open with Anycubic so we’ll see how this goes. According to the card that came with it mine was actually manufactured in mid July, so they may still have been unknowingly working through a bad batch of components around them. Does suggest they’re not doing a lot of QA if the thing fails after one print though…
Are these things a standard part we could source elsewhere, or do,we have to get them from Anycubic?
Oh no!! There is a place online but I’ve not seen them tested sometimes you can bend the gauge back into place so try that also
@@TheRealSamPrentice Beginner's question - bend the gauge up or down? Intuitively, you'd say the extra pressure has bent it up so bend it back down again? Rather not ruin the nozzle if it goes the wrong way.
@@jonbwfc yep down would be the best way forward.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Thanks, I'll give it a try. Quick update - Anycubic got back to me within 24 hours. They're going to send out a replacement once I confirm delivery address.
Mine slams in to the x axis and then gives me the abnormal level sensor error after probing 2 spots on the bed. I replaced the entire head. Hotend and strain gauge are level. Bed and trolley are tight. I'm at a loss.
Had the same problem changed the strain gauge the board it fits in and changed the cable now they sending me a new motherboard the will this solve the problem, forgot to tell you that the strain gauge is not able to take the screws so you have to use a nut and bolt
Can we get the name of that part I can’t find one anywhere and anycubic hasn’t responded to my request
I am having the same sensor problem. I sent a repair ticket to manufacturer but no response yet.
Just got my vyper today and having the same issue, is the red light supposed to be off? it should only flash on when the strain gauge activates correct?
The light should be on, some manage to bend the probe back. I’ve got the replacement probe and it’s back up and working well
hi i got vyper too but mine do 16 point leveling and after go home and stuck on probing do u think it same problem of u or i need update firmware ? ty
Sounds like a faulty probe you might be able to bend it back a little bit to fix it
I've only leveled it once and had that owl print. Tried the test cube and now my printer is not working! This is quite annoying that their quality control is so bad.
Thank you for the video! I'm obliged to sub considering you helped me and many others.
Aw! Thanks :) yeah it’s really annoying!!! I believe there was a large number of faulty probes fitted so for their tests while packing I’m sure it was fine but for levelling we didn’t have a chance. If it means anything tho the new probe is ace!
@@TheRealSamPrentice so glad to hear that replacement works fine. Will be waiting patiently for the reply from Anycubic support.
The exact sane thing for me I have a owl and that's it besides a scratched board, I opened a ticket tonight its 2 days old
hello i have the same problem.
where you ordered the part, I can't find it anywhere. thank you
Try their website
Just got mine today and got a nice scratch on my build plate as my nozzle wasn’t level. I straightened it out now it’s working
Same here
@@jvarrati I put in a ticket and got a replacement build plate along with a extra sensor just in case it goes out
I have the same issue out of the box... I've tried emailing but no response. Any suggestions on how to resolve/get a new sensor?
They are on a national holiday until tomorrow (7th) that might be why. If you are on facebook shout me on the vyper group and i'll put you in touch
Do these take standard E3D Volcano nozzles, and do you intend on making it an all-metal hotend in a video?
I believe they will fit in fact as long as it fits onto the sensor you should be fine. I will look to upgrade this as time goes on but right now the prints are coming out nicely
@@TheRealSamPrentice I have severe printer upgrade trauma so I am avoiding touching my Vyper while it works fine. I should try to get a spare sensor from Anycubic as reserve though, if this problem is as common as the comments suggest.
@@dasauto7346 I’m just speaking to anycubic to find out the costs and availability of these sensors I’ll also test the old one to see if it’s repairable. I feel your pain with upgrades!
@@TheRealSamPrentice another issue I ran into is that my right-hand leadscrew specifically seems a bit warped, and it tends to rattle a lot in the stabilizer. A piece of painters tape seems to deaden the plastic-on-plastic noise a bit, but I wish I could just drop in 608 bearings. Hope they get back to you on the sensor too, because that's a big oopsie and why I wish it had a less proprietary solution.
I am writing this in 2023 now.
The "faulty sensor/switch" problem was possibly caused by a bad batch of sensors.
The "crashing problem" is prevented by having to push the printnozzle with a tool (the sofware requires this action).
The nozzle/sensor will be activated (LED behind the cover).
If the sensor is faulty the auto-level cycle won't start. So crashing shouldn't be possible anymore.
It's always better to buy a device 3D printer, car or whatever AFTER it has been on the market for a few years.
Early production runs of any device are prone to faults/errors.
I trust that Anycube is checking the quality of their supplied sensors now more carefully because this problem has happened.
Very often producers of machines/devices don't check the parts they receive very thoroughly because that's a task of the suppliers.
nice quick fix
I just had this happen to my week old printer. Where do you find a part? I cannot find it on their website.
Never mind. Just saw the form to request part.
The strain gauge will always get broken.
Get my 3. Strain gauge.
Last time get broken I change carefully the noozle. It is a mess...
Do you have a picture of the right home position? My nozzle drives to a point outside and below the printbed. Is this the supposed position?
I don’t think so no, If the light is not on the sensor has failed.
@@TheRealSamPrentice interestingly the light is constantly on but it still smashes into the board while autoleveling.
@@rocksmo3384 if you move the nozzle does it flash? You might have a different problem
I just got my Vyper about 2 weeks ago. Today, I noticed that the hot end is loose. If I were to push on the bowden tube on top or even slightly on the nozzle, the whole things moves. I imagine it's not supposed to be like that? I'm new to 3D printing but my Mega X certainly doesn't do that
Hey Chris, is the hot end loose as in the screws that hold it in place have movement ? Or the the hot end (parts) are loose. The way this is designed allows movement via the strain gauge so you will get a bit of movement. I also have the mega x and s these printers are very different and there is really little more than the brand name to compare them on.
@@TheRealSamPrentice So, after a few hours of pulling parts, some trial and error and a little bit of swearing, I figured out the issue. The screws for the strain gauge were lose for one. Despite some initial successful prints, the bottom Guide wheel needed a little tightening along with the bed. Anyway, I just did a small test print and it turned out perfect.
Thanks for getting back to me and the video (which helped immensely).
@@cgeorge2023 let’s see if it lasts !! I hope it does
Same problem here on my very first printing attempt. I’m new to 3D printing and got the Vyper thinking that this one would save me some of the common struggle. Leveling for example.... This is frustrating but it’s also a lesson: 3D printing is definitely not plug& play.
I’m both relieved and worried that so many have the same issue ...
Anyway, I’ve contacted anycubic and still waiting for an answer.
Best thing to do is not panic, it’s an easy fix and it will run like a dream once it sorted
@@TheRealSamPrentice they replied really quick actually. Great service by those guys. Thanks a lot man.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Ok so 4 months ago I told you that the aftersale service by Anycubic was great, but since this video gathers the community of users or people interested in this printer and Anycubic I'd like to tell you about my terrible experience with them.
Long story short: I bought the printer, it didn't work, they sent me replacement parts, didn't work anyways. So after exchanging e-mails they told me they could replace my Vyper for a brand new one. So I sent the printer back to their warehouse (in my case I had to pay a very expensive shipment, so i've spend the money for buying the printer PLUS the shipping service).
Since the package was recieved in their warehouse, I haven't got any e-mails. I've sent about 3 e-mails to them but it's like they just ignore me. I'm really upset about this.
It's important to bring this cases to the community. I feel scammed and this is probably the worst experience I've had as a costumer in a long time. I've seen a lot of people happily using their Vypers but the fact that this has happened to me means it could happen to others. Please do your research and, FROM MY EXPERIENCE, think twice when it comes to Anycubic.
help i have fitted 3 strain gauges new lead new motherboard and still doing the same
Is there any community firmware for the vyper? Similar to the amazing ones available for the cr se6
It’s being worked on
@@TheRealSamPrentice you replied!! Thanks for this - in the video you also mentioned some groups around the Vyper. The Reddit seems dead, is Facebook better?
@@petermarin of course !! Yep Facebook is
The best bet
Whenever I turn my printer on, I have to push the nozzle forward or back until the red light turns on. It’s just where it stops when I turn it off. The slightest push back turns the light on again and once I level the prints are fine. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem, sensor defekt, now waiting for replacement, but still no tracking for shipment
:( seems like this is a major issue now
Hi there. Thank you very much for this helpful video. Same story here. Got my printer a few days ago from the German warehouse, did a first auto-leveling, unfortunately failed in printing the Owl, did a second auto-leveling and the nozzle smashed into the bed. I then upgraded screen and firmware to the last available version 2.3.9 (motherboard v6). Now I get this sad message "Auto leveling sensor abnormal, please check it and wiring!" I wait for an answer from Anycubic (Chinese holidays). I am however wondering: for all of you who managed to get a new sensor and changed it, did it happen again with the new sensor a few weeks or month later?
Sad times! I think I saw your post online. They have sent me a couple of sensors out now and also a replacement motherboard. The GOOD news is that Anycubic DO look after their customers and you will be back in action soon.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Lucky for you eh. They refused to help me with this exact problem. Probably because I do not have a big enough YT audience. Like your videos mate, but this company really screwed me over on this one and I am absolutely disgusted in the way I was dismissed by Anycubic, even tho this is a well known fault. I dont really know what to do now, except share my story of the way they are actually handling the situation for everyday customers without a big channel.
If you have any ideas where I might be able to go to find parts or if you have a source on the inside, I would be very interested. 😒
@@KwaddawK drop me an email I might be able to help you out.
@@TheRealSamPrentice Thanks for your reply and kind offer to help mate. I kept searching the net and found a printer supply website in the UK with the strain gauge for $15US so I ordered a couple from them. Much much cheaper than the official website. After the treatment I received I can no longer support Anycubic or purchase anything from them directly ever again. I went from really loving my printer to absolutely hating Anycubic with a passion in about a day and a half after dealing with Abel the Unable in customer support. I hope my story is helpful to people sitting on the fence about which printer to buy and I will continue to share it hopefully costing them a buttload of money in lost sales.
Keep up the great vids mate, at least I feel you are on our side!
Принтер пришел три недели назад, все было ОК, но сегодня появилась неисправность которая описана здесь, я правда не понял где этот датчик брать? И еще добавлю при сборке обнаружен регулировочный винт который выпал с левой стороны из механизма оптического датчика, закрутил обратно, но на какую глубину и как его правильно настроить?
Вам нужно будет связаться со службой поддержки anycubic, чтобы они отправили вам новый датчик, это бесплатно.
Я считаю, что проблема возникла из-за пакетной проблемы.
По поводу винтов вы говорите про винты самонаведения оси Z или что-то еще?
Такая же фигня. Один день поработал, пару раз повыравнивал, потом капут. Поддержка ответила что это чисто железячная проблема, но не понятно когда и как вышлют. Думал в отпуске с ним поразвлекаться, но увы, отпуск под хвост. А принтак в первый день произвол очень приятное впечатление, а на второй день полное разочарование. Даже кровать не перестроить под ручную калибровку. нужно что-то придумывать отдельно
Have you experienced a hotend abnormal ntc code coming up I had it I replaced the hotend completely and I'm still getting it and I've had the printer for less then a month
Could be a wiring issue on the board then?
@The Real Sam Prentice that's what I thought at first but I unhooked everything checked all the wiring and hooked back up had 2 prints just fine my wife started one this morning and all of a sudden it kept heat I ng and caught on fire

Thank you for your Video, my Vyper have the same Problem, i still contacted the Support of Anycubic but i have no answer in the moment. Now i know I am not allone.
Hope it helps it’s an easy fix so ping support a message :)
@@TheRealSamPrentice I still wait on the answer from Anycubic Support :) Yes to change the part is absolutly no problem, i hope they have the spare part on stock, and i don't have to wait to long.... :) It's good for me now to know where is the Bug, after two evenings of troubleshooting. :)
@@derabsoluteHammer let me know if you don’t hear anything and I’ll push it along
@@TheRealSamPrentice Thank you, that is very nice, I will keep the comment here up to date as it went on...
Very straightforward response from Anycubic, they will send me a new part within 15 days.
Having the grinding on right half issue. Hopefully this helps. I messaged anycubic.
Weird. I noticed when I first got mine, it levelled fine and the sensor worked. I could use a metal wrench and softly touch the nozzle and the sensor would see it... Then I did the auto levelling and the nozzle pushed hard on the bed causing it to push down a bit... it then went back up and touched the bed again but stopped as soon as it touched, it then went on to level the bed fine, every other time it touched the bed with the nozzle it stopped moving and went back up to do the second touch before moving on... I am worried the sensor might be gone? But why would the other points work fine?
It’s such a delicate device and early on I said that this would be a challenge especially when you are asking new end users to take things apart and replace parts. The sensor swap out on these faulty ones really needs to be faster from anycubic
@@TheRealSamPrentice Yea for sure, also they shouldn't of glued the connection down if they expected parts to be self replaceable by the user...
@@DeSibyl that I can agree on!!
@@TheRealSamPrentice Yea, I think I got lucky with my sensor. I will keep monitoring it though. I noticed when I performed the first Auto Level it worked flawlessly. However, the second time I noticed on the first contact point (front right corner) it pushed the bed down a good bit before continuing the rest.. Also, I grabbed my scraper tool and used it to softly push on the nozzle and I could see the red light come on with minimal force... So I presume that means the sensor is working, just wondering why it pushed hard on the bed on the first point.... All the other points seemed to work fine and it only lightly touched each point.
Yo man, so i just got my Anycubic Vyper. I have done 1 print without any problems at all... I can still do the bed level no problem, and i dont get this smashing into the bed, it puts the nozzle nice and easy down, and up and slowly down again. But then when i start printing. Its like the nozzle moves up 10mm or so. i have done absolutly nothing, it doesnt matter which sliced file i print. Even the one on the SD card doesnt work. And the one i printed Yesterday doesnt work either?
Any idea what could have happend? Everything seems normal, until it starts printing...
I’d work on your z offset part but that does sound really weird are you able to send me a video of it doing it ?
@@TheRealSamPrentice where can i send you the Video? I dont think it is the z offset we are talking one 10mm here. It printed fine a calibration cube but today i wanted to try one more with same setting just 200 instead of 190 and it dis this 🤷🏻♂️
@@CowallTV yeah that’s a fair amount it sounds like gcode to be fair therealsamprentice@gmail.com
@@TheRealSamPrentice Alright! It got fixed with a firmware update just found a new firmware and was installing it when i typed the last message, didnt know there was another firmware for this printer
@@CowallTV yep 2.3.9 before the community firmware comes out :)
Same problem here.
My first 3d printer. Really disappointing!
Same issue. Had all of 3 successful prints. Now it’s erroring out and won’t level.
This printer has been pretty disappointing. First arrived with a damaged drive belt. Now the leveling issue.
That’s really disappointing, I’ll admit without that issue it’s great but it still had the issue. Have you contacted support ? I know of one guy that managed to tweet his hot end down and it repaired it
Agreed that it’s a great printer if it works. The three prints I got out of it were great. And I’m complete new to 3D printing.
But, it’s pretty sad quality to have an issue before it’s out of the box, and then a second issue within the first week. Both rendering the printer unusable.
I already have a ticket for the drive belt. So I just added this new sensor issue to that. Will see what anycubic does to respond.
can someone tell me how to get the level sensor set correctly (SW 2.4.5)
You mean z offsetting ?
@@TheRealSamPrentice yes, my led sensor is not working quite correctly. i push the hotend forwards or backwards. an error is always displayed when leveling. sensor abnormal
I have the same problem with my 2 weeks old vyper.
I was really considering this printer
I think once they work out the kinks it’ll be fine, since the replacement it’s been working without issues
ugh 30 hours in and was hoping it wasn't this. Mine was half way through a 9 hour print when I heard something grinding. I still don't know what caused the nozzle to bump into the print because all the layers were good. Ended up resetting and leveling and...nope. Sensor is dead sadly. Guess I'll wait for a new one to install. Considering how 3d printing goes this could happen a lot. Not keen on having to swap a sensor out constantly.
Annoying! From what I understand this is a large problem effecting many people.
However I understand that the sensor batch that was supplied with many of these printers had a fault the replacement I have has been running for the past 3 days with no issues
@@TheRealSamPrentice Good news today lol. After being frustrated with it the other day I went back to just make sure I didn't miss anything. And I did! lol. I bent the bracket up quiet a bit and the red light came on. My guess is during the print a layer shift happened in a certain area that caused it to raise to due to an ample amount of stringing caused by my combing profile. This likely was ruined during my first layer and I failed to watch it later as I went to bed. So due to the the bend was the opposite. Instead of going up it bend it down lol. So bending it up a slight bit triggers the sensor now.
@@zacharylewis417 good moves! I tried that but mine was too far gone, I’d still get them to send you one out just incase
@@TheRealSamPrentice Yea I'm still going with a replacement just incase. Again thanks for the video!
Thanks for the video. I'm glad my vyper didn't had this problem. In my option, Anycubic should really improve quality control. It looks like they haven't fully checked every single machine completely before shipping. In my case the builtplate was loose and shaky. At least Anycubic relased a new video today how to fix their production issues (loose parts): th-cam.com/video/3JB3ywC4nmg/w-d-xo.html
Yeah it’s annoying as heck with the strain gauge. 7 weeks to get a replacement.
I still haven't received an email from Anycubic about my vyper being shipped, it has been more than 20 days since I ordered the early bird version... And it said that within 20-30 it should have been shipped, and that I would receive an email once they ship it.. and I know that when the email is send it will take another long while. Am I the only one here?
You're not. It's been around 23 days since I've ordered mine and still nothing.
maybe they are holding them to fix the problem lol I'd be okay with that. (fingers crossed)
Update: Just received a mail from Anycubic. My Vyper has been dispatched from a warehouse in Germany and should be delivered in about 7 days.
@@marekmiklenda4896 nice, I also just got an email from Anycubic, also dispatched from Germany. I don't see the part about within 7 days tho.
@@raynlaze1339 I've found it when looking at DHL and their estimate. It's a bit of digging, but you can find estimated delivery times country -> country
Have the same, error now :%. argh one leveling worked now its done after 1 day of printing ..
So annoying !!! See if you can reset the unit and try to see if the light is on by default
@@TheRealSamPrentice The light ist permantly off now. I wrote the support already and they send me a new sensor. I dissassembled the hotend and noticed that the resistance between the black and green cable is 272.2 Ohms. If i bend it it goes down. Between black and yellow 271.3 Ohms, but no reaction to bending.. hm .. i will order an HX711 testkit and will evt investigate further.. maybe temperatures are too high in the hotend for the sensor?
@@SalsaCookies I’m not sure that temperature is a factor I think it’s the sensors build quality
I am showing the same issue here too.
Same problem here.
Mine made it through 7 prints then it smashed into the heat bed. Anycubic has the parts, then said they needed to wait for more shipment packaging to arrive to send it. Now it's out of stock, again. Looks like 4-6 weeks... Has anyone found a replacement part we can order that may work? Anycubic should be giving something more than just a replacement part as this is wide spread.
Dear Customer,
Sorry for the late reply. It will take about 15 days for the strain gauge in stock again. And it will take 15 days for the delivery time for you receive the replacement parts.
We feel so sorry for all the inconvenience. Hope for your understanding.
So, how do you think then?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
CSR
Where in the world are you??
East Coast, USA
@@andrewparks8423 Yeah a little far out for me, I hear there is an alternative in Germany, have you tried to bend the sensor back?
This just happened to me I think the and nozzle head got bent.
Hopefully the new sensor last longer, waiting for mine -_-
what if light is on but still not leveling
Speak to support and make sure you have the latest firmware from the websit e
The strain gauge design is crap. When mine quit on my vyper I just got the cryd team board at the maker panda store on aliexpress and swapped it out so I could run a bl touch. Much better and I switched to klipper while I was at it. An all around better machine now. I couldn't even find the strain gauge for my E model vyper. Anycubic parts availability is horrible. Now I'm gonna do the same to my kobra max because I know it'll go out.
Hi Guys, let me know which one that leveling sensor fail?
1. First leveling fail
>1.1 System killed, TFT and all axis no response.
>1.2 Sensor fail, hotend hit the bed till bed bent.
>1.3 Others(Let me know).
2. Some print then leveling fail
>2.1 Nozzle hits the raised part of the model then leveling fail
>2.2 Nozzle rub platform then leveling fail
>2.3 Others (Let me know).
Same Problem, Sensor defekt, now waiting for a new one. Next Problem: very noisy Fans in the Print Head if running under 10ö%
I’ll do a dB check on mine and perhaps we can compare
You can check this by setting the target fan speed at 50% via Tools/Speed in the touchdisplay without printing. Seems to be an electrical sound, not only the fan.
Mine worked fine the first try. Tried repeating the leveling a couple days later, and this happened.
:(
same thing happened to me today. set up the printer yesterday and it worked fine.
Follow-up: it took two weeks shipping time, but I received a replacement sensor, and all is good
Grrrr……The same problem on the first day :(
i have a different problem with the leveling process, my nozzle is going PAST the bed and never touching it so my whole printer freaks out. has anybody else had this?
I’d suggest you flash the new firmware or adjust the y axis stop switch on
@@TheRealSamPrentice alright thank you sm! ill give that a try (quick reply btw jeez)
I wouldn't be disconnecting/reconnecting cables while the device is on..
Yes that 5v feed is deadly
Goodmornig link for pay sensor thank you
Head to the anycubic site they should be on there now
I don't think we can buy them anywhere.
I think there was one source but anycubic hold the keys
I had the exact same problem with not the exact same results. Contacting Anycubic is a pain in the ass. They make you fill out some bs form. Give you the run around for days on end. That saw me just sending the product back for a refund. Just avoid this model all together. Junk.
