 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.

 Below you can see how messy the design got at one point. I needed to select the pieces one by one, giving them a different colour to know which I had counted and which not yet.

+(Without this metal support I would have no clue anymore which piece belongs where). And then all that is left is 3D printing like crazy to be able to show this dress on Thursday 29th of March at the final presentation.
