      Some prints, like the key ring designs I’m printing this week at the Big Bang Fair at the NEC, only take 12 minutes to print, but I’ve also done some very large prints that I’ve made from lots of smaller sections that have taken over 100 hours of printing time in total.

      The print time is mainly affected by the size of the model and it’s complexity.
