There's a general for this. Look at what's being built and if you need to print as finely. Also check supports, infill and all the other settings to see what's unnecessary time.
wow I'm so excited to wait 2 days for this piece of plastic garbage to print out! I'll post a ton of pics online and then use it once before it breaks and ends up in the trash!
3D printing is so gay
Who in their right mind actually cares about print times? You aren't spending 48 hours turning a hand crank to power it. Go touch grass or go to work and it'll be done when you get back to it.
Buy four 3-D printers and segment the piece into four parts, then assemble.
Every time someone does a bare cost analysis on the PLA vs. the cost of a comparable pre-finished plastic item of much higher quality, 3d printing looses… by a lot. And that not including the cost of the printer, the electricity, and the time.

Print orientation matters the most.
3d printer tards are a breed apart. I bet OP wasn't actually looking for advice, just thought we needed an update on his pathetic excuse of a life.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE OP. FEEL FREE TO MAKE A THREAD ANYTIME. IT'S WHAT WE LIVE FOR.
Why does no-one design for the material at hand? I swear 93% of people are moronic
I did flip it vertically and set it to low quality. Now it's like 10 hours...
How big is your moms dildo anyway?

speak for yourself moron
I bought my dad a 3d printer as a gift and he kept printing these bins that you can get at harbor freight for like $1
With fricking premium filament
Did you turn on adaptive layers?
The sooner you start it, the sooner it will finish... Kinda rule one of 3d printing.

I have 4 prusa 3d printers on my desk right now and a ton more in the garage.
I hate to admit it, but the lathe next to it is cheaper to operate and makes a better product,
If I print a round object, the way printers and stepper motors work it won’t be perfectly round… you can run a test indicator on it and see the runout
However on the mini lathe I get perfect roundness if I take baby cuts and use sharp tooling at a good feed rate and much more sturdy products
I even use my metal lathe to turn wood
