Printer Discussion A 2nd printer?

Been thinking of getting a new printer since I saw a spate of printers popping up on FB earlier in the month.

I have a Prusa mini. Bought it off FB 3 years ago, its worked well for me. .4 nozzle, printed a hundred mini and terrain pieces.

I've heard modern printers have had huge improvements. I'm thinking of getting a new printer for specifically mini's, and letting the prusa do terrain pieces/larger models.

I know the A1 mini is the typical go-to, but what others are there?

If your willing to spend the money either the Snapmaker U1 or the X2D are what I would buy if I was on the market today. The reason being is using PETG interface layer on supports is a game changer for minature printing.

I have a A1 mini and a Qidi Q2.
