A ten day print! It’s hard to calculate what the value of something like that would be.

Quite impressive. I doubt I would have the patience to wait that long. Also from a manufacturing strategy point of view, it makes much more sense to print smaller pieces and glue them together. That way if a piece fails you do not have to start the whole thing over.

That was 1 of the most impressive things; it actually printed. I’m not sure if there were failed attempts and, if so, how many.

From my experience it would print for nine days and then fail.

It made me wonder how much filament my ender 3 pro could lay down in 24 hours. I must do a calculation, it could help with my rough estimations.
