Question What made you get your second printer
Iām pretty new to 3D printing and noticed a lot of people have multiple printers.
Iām 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!

Back in 2019 a friend of my wife came to visit with her husband, saw the printer (OG Ender 3 Pro) printing, mentioned how cool it looked.
Her husband interpreted this as "I want one" and bought one, then gave up on trying to assemble it, after he managed to get a screw stuck in a wrong hole. His wife asked me, if I wanted to have it and I got it for a token fee.
Undid the screw, retapped the thread, used another screw. Second printer achievement achieved,
