 The dress consists of 160 modular pieces. Each piece takes about 30 minutes to print, which means that for the total dress 80 printing hours are needed. Which is about 10 full days of printing. This is exactly the reason I think a bigger printer area is needed: now about half of the material printed goes to connectors that are not highly necessary. A normal t-shirt for example would have about 4 connection lines. Along those pattern-lines I can imagine a modular connecting system being in place. However if I would make a t-shirt with the small printers available now, I would need about 84 modules * 3 connecting lines per module = 252 connecting lines. All these lines need connectors and thus added (unnecessary) material. ​ The dress consists of 160 modular pieces.
