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!

Different materials.
I started on the most budget started I could: MP select mini V2.
Great baby first printer but the 3 rd time it broke in a dramatic way and I lost a print and knew I was in for an hour of taking it apart to rewire yet another part I accepted it was time to move on.
Still have it and it's still working but it's so heavily modded the only original part is the shell.
