haha!

I don't know guys, if the CR-10 lives up to my expectations, I might say a nice farewell to my MPSM.

- CR-10 ordered? CHECK!
- CR-10 arriving tomorrow? CHECK!
- Space allocated for a big-ass 3D printer? CHECK!
- Misc. CR-10 upgrade bits printed on my MP Select Mini? CHECK!

What else am I missing!?!?

Ok, I've got a couple of days to decide one way or another on if I return my MP Select Mini to Amazon.

I've been printing on my CR-10 for the last few days and so far, I really like it. I haven't had any need to print on my MPSM since getting the CR-10.

I really doubt I'll ever need 2 3D printers at the same time, and it just seems like a waste to keep both.

I'm realizing that even the process of switching printers/profiles in CURA is almost enough of a pain to make me go down to just one printer. I'm leaning a bit towards sending the MPSM back to Amazon.

Try Slic3r - much easier to switch profiles.

I kept going back and forth, then my brother made an AWESOME point:

If I return the MPSM and start to find cases where I'm like, "Wow, I really wish I had 2 printers!" I could easily order another one from Amazon and get it in 2 days. It's not like I got this one on sale or anything special.

So, in about 10 minutes I had all my mods removed, all the wires put pack in their original places, and boxed up with a label on it.
