NEW Anycubic Vyper VS Creality Ender 3 V2 comparison

hi everybody welcome back to the channel today we have an awesome new printer to check out this is the annie cubic viper this is a brand new printer that any cubic just came out now when i was unboxing this and getting ready to set it up i noticed a lot of similarities to the ender 3 version 2. so i decided to put these two printers side by side and show you guys all the differences between the ender 3 version 2 and the new any cubic viper now spoiler alert the anycubic viper is basically the ender 3 with every upgrade that you can imagine it's got dual z-axis drivers it's got a better extruder system it's got all kinds of stuff we're going to take a closer look i'm going to show you guys every single thing that's different between the two printers also stick around till the end because i'm gonna be giving you guys a sneak peek of my next build that i'm working on it's a massive plan you guys are gonna want to see a couple clips of looking at these two printers side by side you can definitely tell there's a lot of similarities there is a little bit difference in the build volume the viper is 245 by 245 by 260 and the ender 3 is 220 by 220 by 250 on the z-axis now let's uh get into the unboxing of the viper and i'll show you guys a couple more differences to unbox the anycubic viper it's pretty easy the z-axis tower comes all assembled so it's just a matter of attaching the z-axis tower to the base unit so here in the top we just got our manuals and our cables our spool holder and then our uh touchscreen so we'll take this top off and then we're going to take out the two pieces together in this foam piece because that dx's tower is attached to the base unit already with the cables you want to just be careful uh not you know just taking this part out without taking the base unit out so i'll just be careful taking this off of the foam here not moving it too far away from the base unit so that cable doesn't uh get stretched at all and then we'll take that base unit out uh and then we just go ahead and set this uh onto the base unit there's a little bit of a notch in the base unit where it sits into and then we'll just put four screws on the bottom here i could use the provided allen wrenches to attach that and then we'll go ahead and attach the screen so there's just three screws there two on the front and then one on the top here and then this boulder no tools required for that just spin that on there and then clip it into the base and then we'll flip it around and we'll hook up the bowden tube to the extruder unit and then we'll just plug in all the wires and then we'll go ahead and cut the zip ties off and then we'll just switch this over to 115 for the us and check it out looks really good i'm really happy with the way they designed it it looks really nice and clean it came out really easy very easy to assemble now for the creality ender 3 version 2 definitely comes in a lot more pieces than the viper so all the pieces are all uh you know individual you can have to set all this up it's a lot more work to assemble it so to put this all together the z-axis motor and hook up all this extruder get this unit all set up and put it on these uh rods here put the top part on so it's a lot more work involved it's still pretty easy it's pretty good instruction manual but definitely that viper was a lot easier to set up so we'll switch that over to 115 also and then that one's ready to go okay so the biggest difference between these two printers is the new and cubic viper has self leveling now for a beginner printer the market that these printers are for leveling the bed can be the most challenging part to somebody just brand new getting into 3d printing getting that first layer print on your build plate is very difficult when you're not sure exactly how far to set the extruder from the build plate and you're with a piece of paper and you're trying to level everything well this printer has self leveling built right into it right off the shelf you get self-leveling you can get self-leveling for an end or three but it's all kinds of upgrades and more costs and everything involved so with the end of three we just have our traditional adjustment knobs down here and then for the any cubic viper we have self leveling now another really big difference between the two is if we flip these around on the ender three we only have a single z-axis motor and on the viper we have dual z-axis motors here and then it has also these stabilization pieces up here for the z-axis rods normally that's something that you'd want to 3d print for your ender 3 to allow it to not have that vibration into the print because as it gets taller it can walk a little bit and that can translate into your print so it has the stabilization and it's got the dual z-axis mowers those are the two biggest differences between the ender 3 and the viper those two upgrades alone uh that you would have to do to the end of three would increase the value another nice thing about the anycubic viper is the screen this is touch screen and the creality ender 3 does not have touch screen you have to use the knob down below to cycle through the menu so another nice upgrade for the any cubic viper is this build plate so this is normally a additional costs that you'd want to get if you want to do this type of build plate where you put a magnetic piece on top of your build plate and then you have this piece that just magnetizes to it and then that way when you print your part you just take this off flex it pop the part off and throw this back on it has a surface there that's really good for adhesion whereas on the ender three you just have a traditional glass bed uh and then you do have to use like a hairspray so i use uh either hairspray or a glue stick to have good betting even for the end of three so that's this is an upgrade piece that peop a lot of people do this upgrade uh with this type of build plate and it already has it on the viper so the anycubic viper has a standard sd card and the crowley under 3 has a micro sd card the tool tray for the anycubic viper has magnets on the back here so when you go to close it it has a nice easy close to it and then uh inside the actual compartment it's completely open there's just a piece of foam in there that i still have in there to keep your tools organized and then for the creality ender 3 it does not have a magnet it has like this slot on the bottom of the tray there and it clips into this spot here and so you have to press it a little bit more just to get it closed to adjust the belt tension on the viper there's two allen set screws you just grab an allen wrench and tighten those down there's indication on what direction to turn them and on the end of three there's just two knobs you can tighten on the bed there are no leveling points for the viper and then here are the lighting points on the ender three you just turn these knobs there's four of them if you're having problems with that i do a video that shows you guys how to do that uh for the spool holder i don't like either one of the spool holders this is the one for the viper it clips in easily and holds the spool just fine but i don't like how wide it is so you can see that's how much build like area it takes up on the bench so i'm going to go ahead and use the extra spool holder that i made and set that behind the printer and then remove the spool there and that'll just make it a little narrower i don't like the one on the end of three because it's on top of the uh z-axis so i'll use a extra one for that also the viper has a run-out sensor which i don't usually use i'll just put a piece of film in there and cut it off to register that it has filament and the ender 3 does not have a run-out sensor so go ahead and flip these around take a look at the back so on the viper there are the dual z axis motors like i mentioned before on the ender three just has the one single one on the one side so you can see how you move this a little bit and that makes some errors in the print when it gets up tall the motor that drives the bed is pretty much the same on both printers the kerala one has this cover that's over the belt system uh on the wiring it's all basically the same on both printers both printers are bowed and stopped printers meaning that there's a motor that drives the filament that's not attached directly to the hot end this is where the tension is set for the viper and if you look up in here there's actually two gears it's a dual gear extrusion system makes it very accurate uh extrusion method for the reality there's this knob on the top that you can remove that you can use to drive the filament when you're heating it up uh and then if you look underneath there there's a gear and then there's a bearing on one side and that just sandwiches the filament between the gear and the bearing which isn't quite as accurate as the vipers method okay so that's the differences between the two printers now let's go ahead and turn this printer on i'm excited to see how this auto leveling works apparently you can just turn it on press auto level and the whole thing levels itself so let's see how it works so the printer on we'll go to the repair tab hit level hit auto level and now let's go ahead and press ok now let's go ahead and fast forward the video this whole process took five minutes from when i pushed the level button it just goes through and checks 16 different locations and it levels it perfectly i mean i didn't have to do any kind of offset or anything there's a little note in the manual that if you need to you can set a little bit offset and but in most cases it's not required for me it was not required at all i just did this whole process put my part on the printer and hit print and i didn't have any issues i worked out perfectly i'll go ahead and uh insert our sd card and we'll hit print and i'll print out the part that i want to print out and then look at that the bed is perfect no leveling here on this menu if you just go to settings there's a z offset you just go ahead and click that if you do need to adjust the distance from the extruder to the build plate and there's a light on this printer you can go ahead and turn that off or turn it on and then the creality will just hit print on that and we'll let these two printers go to work both of the printers print out the same time i had them both at the same speed okay so after printing both these parts out the print quality came out really good for both printers uh the viper i'd say the best thing was taking the part off the build plates don't flex that plate popping it right off that was super easy also the auto leveling system on the viper was amazing being able to just push one button five minutes later the whole thing is level and you're ready to print that was amazing i mean for myself when i was a brand new printer that was the hardest thing for me is learning how to level the bed and getting that perfect first layer down and this did it no problem first try didn't have to do anything uh the inner three still have to use the leveling and level this yourself with a piece of paper if you guys like doing upgrades and you guys want to you know modify your printer like crazy uh the ender three is a great printer to start out with uh you can have all kinds of uh upgrades i don't there's not another printer on the market that you can get more upgrades for and more help on forms and things uh than ender three i mean it's just the most commonly sold printer on the market um so i'd go with that if you guys like to upgrade printers and things but for myself my hobby is building and flying rc airplanes so i like to be able to just take a printer take it out of the box set it up and put a bunch of parts on there and print out airplanes and take them out to their airfield and go fly them uh so for me i like the viper just because it's more ready to use it's got all kinds of upgrades that'll benefit me more the ender three i still use it a lot on a daily basis to print out basic parts uh i do want to show you guys what this part is for this for one of my next builds so make sure to check out my channel and hit subscribe so you guys can notify when i upgrade new videos but this is actually a tail section uh to a a321 airliner so this is the tail section that i'm working on i still have a bunch more printing to do so i'll be uh in one of my next build videos i'll be showing you guys how to build this whole airliner that i'm gonna do so make sure to check out my channel and uh thank you guys so much for watching this video and we'll see you guys in the next build
