    Once you’ve seen how the heater cartridge melts the aluminium hotend and liquid aluminium setting everything on fire, it drops onto, you never print unattended again! For longer prints I always wait until the weekend, before starting it. As well I pause the print and turn heatbed and the nozzle heater off, before heading to bed. This method isn’t perfect, as it adds another possibility for failures, but until now it worked everytime. My last print succeeded after ~28h (print time only) this way. Another option is, to divide your model into smaller parts, which are easier to print and glue them together, when everything is finished.
