I meant that I'd guess a 2-3" bust is probably going to take around an
hour, best case. Maybe 0:45, if you're really pushing it.

If you could do a print at 0.3mm layers (meh resolution) in an hour, doing
it again at 0.15mm layers (good resolution) is probably going to take
around 2 hours. If you do the same print at 0.05mm layers (very nice
resolution) you're probably going to be waiting around for 6 hours..

There are lots of trade-offs..
