We have a storm coming through today and I've been printing up various tools for "Luthier" experiments.
Had a 2 day print the other day I was surprised made it through without failing. With the wind coming in I'm sure that we're going to have some power blips that could screw things up.
Fortunately, I have this old UPS laying around that I just replaced the batteries in last week. It uses 4 of the UB1280 batteries wired up to provide 48 volts before it gets converted to 120v. Each of those is 8ah.
I'm not sure how long it will run a 3d printer for, but hopefully long enough for the typical blip, or for me to get the generator running.
With the batteries and all, this is one heavy unit for sure.
