Run time ?

Post by sebasd » Tue Nov 02, 2021 5:06 am

Hi,

I have printed a few things that work out very good.
But what is the longest recommended print time for this printer?

The longest print so far I have completed was 18 hours. But I have a print that will go for 32 hours soon.

So what is the maximum time the printer can print?

Its no big thing. I am building a full size flight simulator of a Boeing 737 at home and am about to print the throttle housing. That is the largest part so far. most of the other components are now printed and I know my printer pretty well.

Now with the 3D touch sensor it makes the job even better so I am very happy.

A bit larger printers can work for weeks but this size of printer probably has a limit of time it can run. Since there is nothing to read about it its hard to try such long print and know if it is okay with the printer to work for such long time.

Its a bit strange the manufacturer does not say anything of the time limit it is made for printing.....

Thank you very much for your reply, have a great week and happy printing!
Sebastian

It depends on a lot of things, such as environment, settings, materials, and so on. It's hard to measure.

Material is PLA, Room temerature 20°C. That is the conditions.
Any recommendations for this environment?

If the condition isn't so hard, then it can works for at least 1 week, just be careful of overloading the printer

I think that the print time depends on what you're going to print but I'm sure it can go over 30 hours.
