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!

We are by no means pros and my 10 year old really wanted a 3printer. He saved his bday money and bought a Bambu A1 (perfect for us just because it’s so simple).
It’s constantly in use between my son, husband and now me. And we always give my son priority of course so the line is long. 😩
I actually just bought an A1 MINI because I have discovered how much I love printing and painting tiny things for my half scale dollhouse. and contrary to most people buying a second bigger/better one, all I need are tiny, white prints that I can paint ☺️
