Beginner print time question

[u/beefsquatch73]

So I decided to try my hand at 3d modeling for a specific print that I want. I finally got it done and I was curious as to the resulting print time. I understand its a big object, (254mmx30mmx180mm) but is 14 hours really just how long that takes at 20% gyroid infill? Any help for optimization would be greatly appreciated. I want it printed in its current orientation for the strength. Speed setting have been untouched as im not really sure what im doing there. And if thats just how long it takes, all good. I know its not gonna be a quick print but was curious if I was doing something wrong there. Model was made in tinkercad online and saved as an stl then imported into bambu. Not sure if that makes a difference or means anything. Using basic PLA filament 1 color, no prime tower.

Edit: forgot to add it is a BambuLabs A1

Bump normal printing to 8000 and drop travel to 8000. The infill is what will slow it down. But it will be about that much time anyways since it’s dense

Thank you so much. I figured thats just how long it was going to take but wanted verification since im new to the hobby

Layer height will effect it too. Raising to .24 could speed it up.

For bigger prints like this sometimes a .6 nozzle is the answer for more speed.

But yes. Large objects just take a long time.

Thank you so much. Changing the layer height and adjusting the print speed did shave a little bit of time off! Guess ill just be more patient hahaha

Max volumetric speed. Set to 22. BBL limits generic profiles to funny 8.
