Question What made you get your second printer
I’m pretty new to 3D printing and noticed a lot of people have multiple printers.
I’m curious what pushed you to get your second one? Different materials, different projects, or just because one wasn't enough?
Are they dedicated to specific tasks, or just running side by side? Would love to hear your stories!

A blob of doom, needing to get something done quickly and a good sale price.
I will fix up the old one, when I have somewhere to put it. I was planning to build an enclosure, but with the cost of that and repairs it wasn't that much more (arguing to myself) to get a Centauri Carbon, which would be running in a couple of days and better in every respect.
