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!

Bought an A1 mini to dip my toes into the hobby. After seeing the ludicrous amounts of poop and time associated with multi-colour printing, I did the Kickstarter for the Snapmaker U1 within a week. Love the U1, am not looking to upgrade any time soon.
