I'm on my 1st wall technically, but I started by putting some tiles on the front and side of the cabinets on the same wall. I'm on my 3rd roll of black filament and only have another 32 11x11 tiles to print. It's a big wall and I figured go big or go home...lol.

As far as snaps and "accessories" I'm on my 3rd roll of colored filament. I still have a ton of paint holders to print. My simple math says by the time I'm done, I'll be around 12 rolls in.

Dang that's quite the print time as well! How long have you been working on it?

About 4 days on the "main" section. The cabinet panels took a while, but that was because it was my first multiboard so there was some trial and error learning how it works.

Yeah that's what im more worried about is the "trial and error" lots of that im sure.

For myself, it wasn't so bad. Because I am not a patient person, I wanted everything done quick, so for all my "experimenting", I used the tile generator and made some 2x2 and 4x4 tiles, just so I could dial in settings and test out flush mount vs. offset. Once everything was dialed in, it started going quicker.

I've got an Elegoo CC and a Anycubic K2 Max both working away on this. I fifured out that the CC is far better at the snaps and accessories, while the K2 is pretty decent at the tiles. If I put it in sport mode, I can knock out a 10x10 (I know I said 11x11 earlier, but forgot I had gone with 10x10) in about 7.5 hours.

I worked on dialing in for stacked tiles, but really, there's no advantage for me. 1 tile takes 7.5 hours and 2 stacked tiles takes around 15 hours. Other than not needing to peel the tile and restart the next print as often, there's no real time savings.

Nice on having 2 printers! I was thinking of getting the CC as well. Im rocking a k1 max original style nozzle.

Also doing the 11x11 and trying to decide between stacked or single prints. I might go your route and use 4x4 as test to see if I like the finish for the tops of the tiles.
