I am currently in the process of printing off the parts for a highly articulated 2/5 scale Wall-E. I have about half the parts printed, and so far the print total is 388 hours of solid printing. Thats... well, a lot. 16.16 days to be precise.
Thats... a lot.
I said I have half the parts are printed, but that actually comprises most of the volume. What is left is primarily Wall-e's wheels, which have 70 parts just for the treads. However thats a small percentage of the volume, which is mostly in his body and head. Since filament print times are gated on volume, not number of parts, I expect the rest of Wall-E to be printed off in about a weeks time.
Still, thats a heck of a lot of printing, and, knock on wood, only one minor print failure so far. Thats a remarkable success rate for such things, considering I am using a stock hobby-level printer (Prusa Mini).
OK, enough talking... I gotta swap the empty filament spool for a full one and get back to printing.
