9 Hours for me. I think it's ok to go as long as need be. Not sure what the max anyone has gone though. It would be interesting to hear of someone going over 24 hours.

I know this is an old thread, but I remembered it from back in January. Today I saw this:
This person had a successful print that took 43 hours. Very impressive huh?
Has anyone here ever had one that lasted longer than 43 hours?

The closest I've gotten would be the head on a sceptre that took a little over twelve hours.
What exactly was printed here?

Hmm... I expected to see some much longer print times being reported. 8-10 hours doesn't seem very unreasonable. I just started, but my longest print was 18 hours. Not super large either, just a monster pencil holder. I don't remember if it was at 0.2 or 0.1mm, but it came out super clean. 25% infill, which is probably why it took so long, no supports needed, no clean-up was needed either.

My Form 1 print times have been between 1 to 14 hours, most are probly around 5 hours. I think my longest was the Eifel tower when I made a big one split into 2 prints at 14 hrs each.

Accounting for print speed of 25mm/s, 31 hours for a 6" sculpture.

I guess the critical point here is to make sure you don't run out of material right ? How do you handle that ? You heat weld the 2 filament ends together ?

Safety, too. Printing overnight could be a problem if something starts overheating.
