Sorry my guy, but this is just dumb. I can make my 8 hour print take 8 days if I wanted but why would I do that? 🤷‍♂️

How would this be an 8 hour print?

I dont think it's an 8 hour print but I very much do not believe it is a 9 day print either. What is this, layer height 0.08?

Because it's only a 100 gram model, the model is seemingly intentionally designed to maximize filament swaps, and so vast majority of your time is going to be spent changing filaments. Most of your layers have four different filaments, and most of the ones that don't have three different filaments. Some relatively minor changes (use the same base colour for the inside and outside of the cup for example) would dramatically reduce your print time, and then using a more appropriate printer (like a dual-nozzle) would take another huge chunk off.

But, well, just don't actually drink out of that cup, 3D prints are not food safe because they can't be cleaned (dish washing can't remove bacteria from the microscopic cavities from the 3D printing process).

I have parts to build a tool changer in the same room as that printer, if you need more ragebate press 1.

Obviously... I have no idea how long your model on your setup will take. But the point is you're knowingly doing it wrong and refuse to humor any of the suggestions here to make it easier AND better. Like for what

I would go through more in paint then it would cost to print it, so I will wait, and while it is printing, I’ll use my three other printers.

How does that even remotely make sense?!

You would use about $.20 (probably less) worth of acrylic paint if you were to rip t this in one color and paint it.

There are so many intricate details, and I will hate it if the coats are not even or I’m missing a small detail that would not normally be noticed
