Greetings and salutations.

I am a lucky owner of a brand new MakerBot Replicator 5th gen. It's sitting in my office, plugged into the office network. The IP does not change so I can easily access it from home or coffee shop or where-ever I go. The camera gives me a nice way to monitor its progress and see if I need to run over and fix something. I don't use it much 1-2 prints a day, usually small parts.

My questions is: Can I leave the printer turned on overnight? Over the weekend? I would love to go home in a few minutes (it's after 4pm on a Friday), relax, get a pint, make some 3D sketches I've been thinking-up and send them to the printer. Sure, it'll take 5 hours to finish the print but them the machine will just sit there buzzing all Saturday and all Sunday. It's at the office so electricity is not that big of a concern for me neither is heat it generates. The question is if the printer is fine sitting there turned on for 48 hours or is it in any way damaging to any of the parts, fans, the extruder, etc.

Your advice and opinion would be very much appreciated.

With many thanks,

Greg
