$300 Per Hour at Festival! New Printer Setup & 3DMisfits Review | Print Farm Weekly Vlog #52

🎉 ONE YEAR ON YOUTUBE! 🎉 Week 52 marks exactly one year of weekly vlogs! To celebrate, I had my BEST market ever - nearly $1,800 in 6 hours ($300/hour!), added a second Snapmaker U1 to the farm, and tested a new designer. This week was absolutely incredible! QUESTIONS FOR YOU: 1. Do you have any questions about the Snapmaker U1 you want me to discuss or show in a future video? 2. Recommendations for going vertical with my printer setup? 3. What are your thoughts on selling two printers (A1 + A1 Mini) for another Snapmaker? 🔗 AFFILIATE LINKS - Filaments & Gear: Snapmaker U1: https://snapmaker.sjv.io/Dy90Dd **SILK Filaments:** Rock Rainbow: https://amzn.to/478JYeZ Rainbow: https://amzn.to/3VYY3Xd Shimmer: https://amzn.to/470qj1Y Earth Tone: https://amzn.to/47kxIrO Galaxy: https://amzn.to/499DGhw Burnt Titanium: https://amzn.to/478JYeZ Blue/Green: https://amzn.to/478JYeZ Gradient Green: https://amzn.to/3J5kAyt Pink/Gold: https://amzn.to/47lqogD Red/Blue: https://amzn.to/490oDGV Blue/Silver: https://amzn.to/3KJF6Fr **MATTE Filaments:** Pastel Pink: https://amzn.to/47l5m1I Yellow: https://amzn.to/4nMDh9p Purple Sunset: https://amzn.to/3KK7MhC Afterglow: https://amzn.to/4h3R2hi Rosy Cloud: https://amzn.to/3KMOZ5c Peachy Sunrise: https://amzn.to/42yyLTp Maple Forest: https://amzn.to/3IEYYsQ Rose Quartz: https://amzn.to/42CJ0pT Malachite: https://amzn.to/4q5blPp **Equipment & Supplies:** Bambu A1 Mini: https://amzn.to/492YsiG Bambu P1S: https://amzn.to/4qxuZmE Wood PLA: https://amzn.to/4nQ9Pzp PETG Grey: https://amzn.to/3KO7rKM BIQU Cryogrip Plate: https://amzn.to/470h4xh BIQU Cryogrip for Snapmaker: https://amzn.to/4rv9bsm Shrink Wrap Bags: https://amzn.to/47OzPW1 Uleey Model Nippers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFGQ2PN6?maas=maas_adg_524D299B8474D755E113A30AE0D89E6C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Monday: Intro and Plans for Week 04:43 – Tuesday: New Flush Object 06:52 – Wednesday: Final 3D Misfit Model 11:20 – Thursday: Final Festival Prep 13:41 – Friday: New Printer Added 15:41 – Saturday: Festival Setup and End of the Week Recap 📌 THIS WEEK: - 🎉 ONE YEAR ON YOUTUBE!
