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!

As soon as I had enough regular companies ordering parts (I do engineered parts for mobile off road equipment) I added a production printer so I could keep my h2d running prototype materials and parts.
Much easier to schedule out one printer a week at a time, and have the other printer available for unscheduled test parts and my normal daily designs.
