Updating of Anycubic Vyper firmware
Anycubic Vyper motherboard firmware update steps:
- Format the SD card, copy the motherboard firmware (main_board_20210902_viper_v2.4.5.bin) to the root directory of the SD card, and store only this file in the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the printer in the shutdown state, and then turn on the printer.
- At this time, the lamp of the print head will light up. After a while, the printer will automatically update the firmware.
- After the update is complete, the screen will automatically enter the main interface. Then shut down, and then pull out the SD card. update completed.
- Power on, click “System” – “About” – “Firmware Version” to confirm the firmware version.
Anycubic Vyper screen firmware update steps:
- Copy the DWIN_SET folder to the root directory of the SD card, and store only this file in the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the back of the touch screen in the off state, and then turn on the printer, the screen enters a blue screen state, wait for about one minute, the motherboard will play boot music, and the screen will automatically enter the main interface, which represents the screen firmware update completed.
Troubleshooting method:
If it stays on the blue screen for a long time, no animation is played. It is very likely that there is a problem with the formatting of the SD card. Please reformat, note: formatted as fat32, the allocation unit size must be 4096 bytes.
FYI if you have any problems with not working touchscreen after display firmware upgrade follow this calibration manual, in my case it works as a charm

Thank you.
But -personally- my Touch is working like charme.
I have no possibility to Bed level. Do you have any idea about this?
Hey Pavel
Are you planning to update for a new marlin 2.1.x to use new feature Input Shaping ?
It will speed up prints :)
Hello
I’m not a developer of this firmware and don’t provide support for it.
Vyper’s community don’t donate to anybody (developers, modelers of mods, etc). So developers can spend time on more profitable things for them.
Hey there,
I am glad to have the opportunity to get the cfw in it’s newest version, but I have a huge problem with the bed leveling. If I install the 6.1.e LA+7, it will not Level at all. It goes to the first point, homes, tells me to set z offset. After I did, the same happens again. If I install the LA+N+7 it drives to the middle of the bed, but instead of probing, z is moving upwards with unsynchronized motors.
Any ideas? I’ll be glad to get help.
Hello
I don’t have problems. Read manuals inside the firmware archive.
Hey Pavel,
I’m currently swapping the Original Printhead of the Vyper for the Voron Stealthburner. Your Site has really helped me in learning about the printer and thus I have successfully connected the Printer to the “Voron Hartk-Printhead-PCB” (No need for the uber Expensive one from Cryd). The Connection Process is actually pretty easy and should be replicable by anyone with basic tools. I have also adapted the Stealthburner Printhead to be usable with the E3D-V5-Style (Vyper Original) Hotend.
As a Replacement for the Straingauge I used a Pinda-Probe, because I had one laying around and they have been pretty reliable so far. Only Problem now is, its an NC-Style-Probe and because of that I have to edit the Firmware. Is there any way for you to give access to the Source Code of the CF 6.1e Firmware, as it’s impossible for me to edit the Bin Files you have presented.
Thanks for everything so far.
Pedda
Hello
https://github.com/Pmatsol58/VyperCE6.1
Stealthburner isn’t very good choice. Very heavy and weak cooling.
I will build Voron trident and I want buy frame of Ender 3, build custom Ender (bltouch, bigtreetech octopus, etc) and sell Anycubic Vyper. I don’t know how to adapt Ender 3 carriage and Bltouch for Anycubic Vyper in marlin.
Tried on my new Vyper.. updated new screen but touchscreen is non-functional
Hello.
Read about Screen_Reset.zip in README.txt.
I hadn’t such problem with any version of this firmware for Anycubic Vyper.
hallo ich habe auch so ein problem mein display bleibt einfach schwarz gibt es dafür eine lösung ?
Pavel, the Community Firmware is fantastic! It has made my Vyper usable again. I had become very frustrated with the constant levelling and resetting of the z-offset. The firmware fixed that issue and added many needed additions as well. Please stay safe!
Thank you.
I found some bug i version E with temperature during autoleveling. Reported to developer.
What’s the difference between all the main Board files in?https://pasha4ur.org.ua/downloads/for-articles/anycubic_vyper/custom_firmwares/Firmware_VyperCE_v61e.zip
Not sure what one to use.
Thank you.
It’s in the readme.
main_board_Vyper-CE-6.1xx.bin – standard version.
…(LA) – +LinearAdvance & junction deviation (Recommended).
…(+7) – +Calibration of the table by 7×7 (49) points.
…(+N) – +Parking by nozzle sensor (description at the end of this file).
…(+TE) – +For motors X,Y,Z1,Z2 and E connected via UART (requires motherboard hardware modification!).
…Di – All the same, but only for the Direct extruder.
Hi,
I am really pleased to see people are continuing to update the firmware and display code and improve the Vyper experience, it is nice to see my time was not wasted in developing the CF code for the Vyper. I like the look of the 6.1e release and shall download it to check it out.
Thank you Pavel for keeping the site going and updated.
Hello.
Thanks for the firmware for Anycubic Vyper.
One big problem is that wiper boards fail very often. Like the auto level sensor. It is a pity that there are no instructions on how to put bltouch sensor in marlin.
Hello.
Added Community Edition v6.1e firmware for Anycubic Vyper v0.0.6 with many new features.
Is there a guide for installing this firmware? I’m excited to try it especially if it fixes the z-offset issues!
Hello.
It’s inside archive with firmware.
Thanks! Is there a need to calibrate the touch screen? I’ve seen posts elsewhere that people have has problems with that step but I don’t see it in the instructions.
Hello,
Is it possible to get source code for v6.1e ?

6.1c firmware link – 404 error
Hello.
Don’t use C. It’s bugged.
Anyone try using the header on the board for addressable LED lighting?
Hi, My layer fan is not reacting to gcode at all, nor from the ui fan off. Do you know what should be the problem?
Hi.
Update firmware of you Anycubic Vyper.
Hello There,
Thank you for the fantastic work on this! I’ve installed the 6.1d display and motherboard drivers. I’ve run into a bit of an unusual challenge that I’m having difficulty figuring out.
When I choose to auto-level, the nice screen comes up with the 16 quadrants, but it just hangs. I’ve reinstalled the firmware, restarted the machine, and repeated. However, I can’t quite figure it out. The longes I’ve let it wait is 25 minutes.
Any thoughts?
Hello.
Reinstall firmware with all erasing as in manual.
Hey there,
Just wanted to say that I love the detailed specs and mod suggestions you give. I don’t have a question about the tech stuff. I think all your readers would like to know that you and yours are safe and sound out there. Thank you for maintaining this blog, and answering questions. Please stay safe.
Hello. Thank you.
Hi, i like ur post so much. But… haha
I need schematic of trigorilla motherboard, because i have a problem with the thermistor. It doesn’t work normaly, it’s connected very well, but says on the screen like it doesn’t. I have measure the resistance between thermistor pins on the board and it have 36ohm, i think something wrong it’s not ok haha. I have probe change it, and it work same.
Hello
Anycubic doesn’t want to share it. I asked many times.
This is a very common problem. Most times people fix by replacing:
– hotend (problem with thermistor, etc);
– printhead board (short circuit);
– main motherboard (dead circuit on it).
Hi,
I have to say your blog and the community firmware are awesome.
I bought the vyper as a second printer and noticed that even with perfect tuning the outer walls on prints are not quite as smooth as prints from my ender 3 with a new motherboard.
Could the Hardware mod maybe fix that ?
thank you for all your work !
Hello.
Thank you. Here is also link for donations if you want: https://pasha4ur.org.ua/donation 😉
Are you talking about ripples on outer wall?
I and the users with whom I communicate have not been able to overcome this problem.
I changed belts (gates), wheels, wheel bearings, belt tensioners, power supply (Mean Well), toothed pulleys. Reduced acceleration and jerks in the firmware. I also made a mod to stabilize the Z axis.
Nothing helped.
I know people who put a custom board on the viper, but the problem remained. Perhaps the problem is the flexible attachment of the hot part of the head or the motors.
I will also try to change the printhead, shafts on the Z-axes and anti-vibration nuts for new warranty parts.
Perhaps I will assemble a self-assembly 3D printer and sell this 3D printer.
yeah those ripples that only show one or two times in the print but are fairly obvious.
I also noticed that at low speeds, turning linear advance off makes outer walls a lot smoother.
You are probably right about the printhead being a little too flexible, which could be the cause of this problem.
Thank you for the reply, I will definetly make a little donation. :)
I’ve been banging my head about the ripples, but I believe I found a solution I just don’t understand why.
I went into Cura and took a Creality Profile and modified the machine settings to match the default Vyper.
Then I have no ripples. I’ve tried to match the profile settings using Vyper machine profile, but no matter what I do, they won’t go away.
Hi, love your blog and the community firmware. It’s so insanely good compared to the absolute barebone that is the stock firmware.
I downloaded the 6.1c zipfile but it appears to contain the 6.1b firmware. Is it just the name in the zip that is 6.1b or is it actually the 6.1b firmware and not 6.1c?
Thanks again!
Never mind – it’s the 6.1C version :) I didn’t read the datestamps in the file before I posted my question, sorry!
wheres the link/download page?
Hello.
Here: https://pasha4ur.org.ua/articles/anycubic-vyper-overviews-guides-adjustments-settings-tips-modifications-upgrades-and-custom-firmwares/8
Hello.
I uploaded a new archive of this custom firmware with various options. I will make other changes to the article soon.
Sorry for taking so long to answer. My city is under fire from Russian missiles and bombs. I often have to be in a shelter where there is no computer to work with.
You can also support this blog with donations: https://pasha4ur.org.ua/donation
Stay safe brother! We are sending what we can help out everyone there.
Most of the inhabitants of the shelled cities do not receive any assistance. We spend our money on more expensive products. Transport is not working. (
Anyway to enable bed mesh, right it dose not seem to return one to unified bed mesh octoprint (which is just Marlin guide commands).
Hi
There is a plugin for Octoprint for displaying mesh. I don’t use it.
