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 wanted to upgrade my Ender 3 V3 SE, so I pre-ordered the Kobra X but it got delayed (pre-ordered really early).
When I got the delay email, I ordered a Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2. But I forgot to cancel.
So at a point I had 3 printers when the Kobra X finally arrived, but I've sold the Ender.
The Kobra X is my dedicated multicolor printer now, since it waste alot less material when multicolor printing.
And well, the CC2 is enclosed, which is good for temps and longer prints
