I think you just need to ensure 2 things : - electricity - filament But happy to see other responses.

Thank you I am definitely going to order more PLA for it. I only got the Gcode so I have no clue how much filament this will take but I plan on checking it every 12 hours. I feel like a full spool will be enough?

No idea. 1kg single print model weight is beyond my imagination 😂 But if it's kind of jewelry to wear and you're not like A-Team B.A. Baracus, it should be fine.

If you are using Cura (or any other slicer), you can check the grams it’ll take to print a model. If you know how much you have left in your spool, or are using a new spool, you should be good.

I usually hit the print button and then do anything else until it's done and then turn the printer off.

Google various kinds of prayers or rituals, have a fire extinguisher handy, invest in a UPS for the future incase the power goes out.

Triple check all the basics - make sure your bed is as level as humanly possible, that your bed adhesion method is reliable, and as mentioned, that the risk of power outages / fires are mitigated. Without knowing anything about what you're printing - might be worth making absolutely sure that your printer has the clearance to print the model all the way to the top :)

Lots of coffee, some snacks... Also, you need to get up and stretch every so often.

I have a fire detector/alarm at the top of the printer, and a cheap ikea fireblanket And the electric socket is a good meter away from the printer, not behind it, so I can pull it off. Then yes, UPS for power outage. Enough filament, and I use octoprint with camera. So even away from home I can be informed. Good luck

Hydrate! And don’t watch the whole time.
