Netflix my man… but seriously I would set up a webcam and octoprint to remotely see it so you don’t have to keep sitting there.

Make sure the first layer is perfect, then sit back and let the printer do its thing!

Don’t run it from a pc…

Good luck! Make sure to place a spool with enough filament on it!

Double check thermistor wiring, belts, and pulley set screws. Maybe even clean the the nozzle. Nothing worse than getting a jam when you’re 30+ hours into a long print. Good luck!
