What are you finding to print? That keeps the printer so busy?

The biggest item / longest print time was the PIR lantern corner
bracket because printed on it's side it was nearly size of the bed (in
an 'L' shape) and quite a bit of the maximum print height.

Also, because it needed to be reasonably strong we printed it at a
fairly high density.

We would also often print multiple items at once (like more printer
parts) and the limit would be how long the job would take (to ensure
it fitted into a working day). Nothing worse than having to abandon a
8 hour print job on 99% because mate had to shut shop and we didn't
want to risk leaving it on unattended. ;-(

To be fair we also had the speed settings set to 'conservative' as
that proved both more reliable and gave a better finish.

So, it wasn't really what we were finding to print but what we needed
to print.

I would often design something in the evening that I needed (or would
like) to use the next day (like a drilling template or part for
something), I would Dropbox it to my mate and pick it up printed at
lunchtime, assuming he wasn't printing something for himself or his
Mrs (like a tool, bracket or storage for her vape stuff or the 3D
object scanner he printed for himself).
