Help, I've started printing and can't stop

The last 2 weeks I'm been working on a phone cradle/induction charger stand.
I've learned to do 0.4mm layers when you're still trying to fit things together, because 0.1 mm layers takes 4 times longer...
Then last night I started some completely new design work, and couldn't stop. I was too tired to start a print last night. So this morning I started to kick off the prints, and I can't stop. The printer has been running 10 hours non-stop. I know that's not a long time in 3D Printer years. But I can't stop, and probably need a 2nd printer...

Didn't you know? Most filament providers are putting in cocaine, Viagra, and nicotine in the blend that aerosolizes when heated. That is not a plastic smell...
As a wise man once said, "Is that air you are breathing?"

For the price of the filament, this makes it an even better deal!

This makes those times I put my head really close to the extruder to breathe in that lovely PLA smell even more suspicious...

I'm trying to resist today, but I'm getting the DTs...
But the up side is, I'm having the best and wildest dreams at night I've had since college!
