If I'm honest? probably nowhere near enough.
The 46 hours is assuming it moves at 300mm/s on that axis for 46 hours, which just isn't the case.
I say this, but as a ballpark figure this is still useful. Even if typical prints probably take longer than that to reach 50km on an axis, that still tells me I certainly don't lubricate them as often as I should.
Maybe that's something printer firmwares could one day be modified to calculate and warn the user about.
Marlin has this feature (time based) but most manefacturer didn't enabled it.
Duet doesn't have it
Klipper doesn't (has a time counter so you could implement it easily).
