My daughter wanted a "Gorilla Tag" birthday. And my wife wanted me to print some party favors for the guest kids. Not my model, but they are churning out ok-ish.

Ya, my printer leaves a lot to be desired and I had a heck of a time getting even one to print cleanly. So, I didn't want to have one fail and ruin the batch. I did print the last two I needed together, over night. Was running out of time and just went for it.
Each one was about 4.5 hours printing and 10-20 minutes of cleanup. These required a lot of supports. I did 24 in total.
But, they were a hit at the party, so it was worth it.

No no it was totally worth it, if you had done them all in one go the gradient would have been the same on all the models, this way it's much more interesting and each kid gets their own color
