And the power panic resume didn’t work :(. This was also my first try at manually changing filaments for multiple colors, waste of effort and filament lol.
Get a cheap APC battery backup, for a little over $100 you can get a 1000VA backup that'll keep your printer running for a few hours through an outage.
Ended up moving the little 500VA UPS from my computer to the 3D printer. Hopefully it’ll help for brief blips.
That printbed looks huge! What printer is that and how big is that bed?
I recently was dumb enough to tell Alexa to power off the smart plug of my printer. 5 hours into that print… While I was looking at it printing… huge brainfart… After that I looked into the void for 20mins thinking about how dumb I am…
This is just a regular-sized Prusa MK4, 250 x 210mm xy build area. I made this custom magnetic G10 sheet for printing PETG, it’s 253.8 x 241mm.
Ah okay! Nice! Did you have to change something other than the bed to make use of its size (on the hardware)?

Not a waste, just an investment in experience
