The volume of Planet Earth is 108.321x10^10 km3.. Converted to std meters, that is 1.08321x10^21 m3.
A typical high flow 3d printer hotend (without getting insane) can hit around 25mm3/sec volumetric flow assuming no nozzle or acceleration restrictions. Converted to std meters, that is 2.5x10^-8 m3/sec.
If you ran that hotend continuously with no breaks, it would only take about 4.332x10^28 seconds to print the planet Earth… or 1.374x10^21 (1.4 sextillion!) years!

Gentlemen. We’re going to need a bigger printer.
Might need to bump up to 0.8mm
Just set it to 5% infill in fast spaghetti mode and we can crank that baby out before the sun goes dark.
I mean if you only print the side that is exposed to sun. Keep rotating that baby.
A lot of us here aren’t actually mortal so that’s not a big deal
Yeah but it’s a little hard to power your printer past the heat death of the universe
Damn it
