what's the longest you should run a print?

[gencode]

I have a print thats 19 hrs, I need 100% infill, I was worried about it running that long as I am pretty new to this. Is that okay to run 19hrs or more?
Is there a max time it should run?

My thought has always been that you need to run it until it's done...

Pretty sure your item won't work if you stop halfway.

Seeing as I doubt you will be there for the entire print, your biggest concern will be a birds nest. If it happens, it happens. Clean up and try again.

Cool, so I guess its fine to go for 19 hrs, sorry noob @ long prints, first long print ;-)

Just started it, thanks guys!!!

100% infill ? What are you trying to print ? :-)

I had jobs running for 40 hours and more (on a 55x55x55 cm printer) ...
Never ever used 100% infill ! (30% seems more then enough for most of my "strong" prints)

good luck,
Kris

Great, its just a machine part replacement that I may need to sand or cut some off to make it fit afterwords. so def needs to be solid, I can't get my calipers where its at to get exact measurements.

Well it sounds like 19 hrs is not that long then for these things, cool!

Just make sure you have a well calibrated extrusion volume if printing at 100% infill. I would probably print a part that is 10% infill with 10 outlines first for fit. It might take 1/4 the time to do a prototype for fit then adjust your design. Then print a functional part at say 50% infill with 5 outlines.

36 hours was my longest single print so far. Generally, I have confidence in our machines and the filaments we are using and don't mind them running long. On one or two rare occasions, I return to a birds nest but I just chalk that up to the nature of the beast.

I thing the longest was maybe 30 odd hours for a full size T-800 head, but I could have gotten away with much less infill, it was in my green days of printing where I thought everything needed a tonne of infill.
