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

I'd buy a printer. If you're looking for something easy, an assembled Prusa Core One. If you want something more expandable/project-like then probably a Voron.

Edit: a letter

So I've never considered a Voron before. I'm looking at it now and I went through the configurator. I have a spreadsheet of parts and links to the supplier. Do you just order all these parts from the supplier and then I put it together myself? Do I have to solder? I suck at it.

I've considered a Prusa. Definitely one of the best (if not the best on the market). I was sort of hoping for a larger print bed.

Or you buy a kit from a reputable brand
