What slicer to use for the Anycubic Vyper
Use OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer, CrealityPrint, or Cura: each has a ready-made profile for the Anycubic Vyper.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Anycubic Vyper.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Anycubic Vyper: Use OrcaSlicer Online
Use OrcaSlicer and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Anycubic Vyper models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Anycubic Vyper: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Anycubic Vyper
SimplyPrint works as the Anycubic Vyper's app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Anycubic Vyper in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Bed slingers are the easiest to automate
The Anycubic Vyper moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead.

ABS & ASA
Great
On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
Nylon (PA)
With care
Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Not ideal
Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
Best filament for the Anycubic Vyper
Filaments the Anycubic Vyper prints well, Anycubic's own first, then the best known.
Finds automatic leveling reliable and the printer quiet, great value and easy to set up. Cons: initial stringing, questionable assembly and a Cura profile that needs tuning.
“If the world of 3D printing ever seemed too intimidating for you, look no further than the AnyCubic Vyper.”
Impressed by the solid build and fast setup, which make it suited to quickly setting up a fleet of machines or printing large parts. Notes the crowdfunding-style launch pricing.
“I was impressed with the overall experience of using the Anycubic Vyper”
3D Printing Nerd · June 17, 2021
Follow-up to a livestream first look rather than a full review: found some things needing adjustment but calls it a pretty solid platform at first glance.

Anycubic is a Chinese 3D printer maker founded in 2015. It sells the Kobra line of FDM printers, including the enclosed Kobra S1 and S1 Max, the large Kobra 3 Max and the low-cost Kobra X, the ACE Pro multi-material unit and Photon resin printers. Its printers are aimed at hobbyists and home users at budget to mid-range prices.

Anycubic is mixed: its printers work locally in LAN mode, take third-party filament and slicers, and have spare parts and guides, but its published firmware source leaves proprietary parts closed, custom firmware is unsupported, and its cloud had a security incident in 2024.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
The Kobra 3, 3 Max and S1 run Klipper-go, Anycubic's Go port of Klipper. Anycubic published its source with the kernel and U-Boot under GPL, for the Kobra 3 in October 2024 and for the wider family in October 2025, but says some proprietary features are kept closed, and that modifying the firmware voids the warranty. The community project Rinkhals adds Fluidd, Mainsail and SSH, and reports that the newer Kobra X only accepts signed updates.
[1][2][3]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
LAN mode lets Anycubic Slicer Next send prints, show progress and stream video on the local network without an account, and the S1's firmware 2.5.9.9 added sending from OrcaSlicer. With LAN mode on, the cloud, the app and AI failure detection are off, and the S1 must leave LAN mode and be bound to an account to update its firmware. Anycubic documents no local API for other software; Moonraker, Fluidd and Mainsail come only with the community firmware Rinkhals.
[4][5][3]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Third-party filament works. Anycubic Slicer Next is an open-source OrcaSlicer fork, and recent firmware accepts files sent from OrcaSlicer. Hotends, extruders and many other parts are model-specific Anycubic parts.
[6][5][7]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Anycubic's store sells hotends, extruders, motherboards, heated beds, motors and screens, and its wiki has replacement guides for current models, for example the Kobra S1 Max XY motors and the Kobra X Y-axis motor.
[7][8][9]
Data and privacy ●●●●●
LAN mode keeps data on the local network, but the app and cloud need an account. Anycubic's privacy policy allows broad collection, including product usage, device signals and nearby Wi-Fi access points, and storage in the United States. In February 2024 a flaw in its cloud MQTT server let a third party push a file to Kobra 2 printers; Anycubic apologised and patched it.
[10][11][4]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Active user community and a wiki with guides and error codes for each model. Source releases leave proprietary parts closed, and custom firmware is a community effort.
[4][2][3]
Pros
Budget to mid-range prices, with multi-colour Combo bundles.
LAN mode works without an account.
Spare parts and replacement guides for current models.
Open-source slicer, and third-party filament works.
Cons
Published firmware source leaves some features closed; modifying firmware voids the warranty.
LAN mode turns off the app, cloud and AI failure detection, and firmware updates need the cloud.
The privacy policy allows broad data collection.
Its cloud was used to push files to printers in 2024 (fixed).
Track record
October 2025: Anycubic published Klipper-go, its Go port of Klipper, as a standalone project for the Kobra 3, Kobra 3 V2, Kobra 3 Max and Kobra S1, with the MCU firmware, Linux kernel and U-Boot sources, on GitHub under GPL-3.0. It says some proprietary features remain closed.
[2][12]
October 2024: Anycubic published the Kobra 3 firmware sources (Klipper-go, MCU firmware, Linux kernel and U-Boot) on GitHub under GPL-3.0.
[1]
February 2024: A third party used a vulnerability in Anycubic's cloud MQTT server to make Kobra 2 Pro/Plus/Max printers download a file named 'hacked_machine_readme.gcode'. Anycubic counted 237 affected printers and over 2,000 that received the file, apologised for its late response, tightened cloud authorisation and released a firmware fix.
