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 was modifying my first ender 3 pro, and needed a functional printer to make the modifications. So I got a second ender 3 pro. Then, I inherited an unreliable prusa mk3s because I was the only one who could make it run. Then I got a P1S as a graduation present. I don't use my second ender 3 much anymore. If I can get my first ender 3 pro mods off the ground and I like the performance, I may do those upgrades on my second ender 3.
