I’m thinking about sending a 12 hour print with 288 filament swaps. When I add PETG support interface, it jumps to 16 hours and 455 swaps. Since I’m using an X2D, it’s mostly nozzle/tool changes rather than full AMS filament swaps, so I’m not too worried about the additional AMS wear.

Do you think the PETG support interface is worth the extra 4 hours and added swaps? Also, realistically, how much wear can an AMS handle over time?

I don’t really mind the waste because the filament effect is the whole point of the print. I wouldn’t be able to paint it and get the same look that the filament gives.

What's your guys hard limit on how many filament swaps a print has?
