Would you rather upgrade (2) Anycubic Vyper (new hotend, extruder, etc) or buy a new printer?

    There are a ton of great printers under $1000 these days. If I needed a larger bed I’d get a Qidi Max 3. I got an Anycubic s1 with an ams that dries for $600.

      I pre ordered an S1 but then cancelled. I didn’t like the smaller bed. I want something larger than 300. I had pre ordered several multi colored printers too, but cancelled when I saw the waste.

        It can generate a huge waste but you don’t have to use it that way. I’m working on making my plates use less color changes by separating more but it’s still nice to be able to select a filament that’s been in a dryer from the slicer instead of having to manually change rolls. I also want to play with using different filaments for supports. It uses minimal extra filament but makes supports work much better.
