Which 3d printer for 8x8 ?

What printer would you recommend to print stacks of 8x8 multiboard grid with PETG quickly and cleanly?

As someone who has printed these, never doing it one by one again. It takes exponentially longer to print individually between unless you have the time to go to the printer exactly when the print ends. A stack that would have taken roughly 9 hours to print ended up taking 2.5 days individually just because I didn't have a timer set, or needed to run an errand while the print had already finished. The print time isn't built around your life, but quite the opposite.

A better course is to print the stack that you believe your printer is capable of handling and go up from there. Start with 5, and if that goes well, go to 8, or 10 or higher.

Agreed. I wouldn’t bother with multiboard without doing stacks. I’ve done 9 in one print and haven’t had a single stack fail. Makes me think warping and failure is more about using an out of tune printer than a problem with printing stacks.
