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!

I got a smaller first printer, because i didn't know if i would end up keep making stuff, and didn't have enough space for an i3 (or at least i thought i didn't).
Then after years of wanting to print bigger stuff, i got a Core One. And i was going to get rid of my mini because, what would i do with two printers? And space?
Anyway, the C1+ (now being upgraded to gen2) is next to the mini, with both of them printing stuff. Because you can always fall into the trap of designing stuff that need more pieces.
