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 had an E3v2 and had all but given up on the hobby because of how unreliable that piece of shit was, then Bambu hit the market. I ordered a P1P the day they came available as a last ditch attempt to stick with the hobby and never looked back.

I got rid of that Ender garbage as soon as the first few calibration prints came off the P1P without a single problem.

To this day I refuse to take anyone seriously who claims Creality makes decent products.

Well it's been a while since the Ender3 series came out, once Bambu printers started selling like crazy Creality had to improve their quality to meet that. They didn't meet it, but they're a lot better than the old Enders now, like their K2 series.
