New Products, Bulk Filament Buying & Advent Calendar Idea | Vlog #33

A week of innovation, bulk ordering, and new product development! 🎄📦 Creating a 12-day advent calendar with mini mystery eggs, taking advantage of HUGE Amazon and Bambu cyber deals, adding new models and new minis to the lineup, and dealing with some egg warping issues. Plus, ULEEY sent me free model nippers to test! Not every week is record-breaking - this one was lighter at $300, but that's the reality of business! 🔗 AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS - Filaments & Supplies: **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 **MISC SUPPLIES:** - Wood PLA: https://amzn.to/4nQ9Pzp - PETG Grey: https://amzn.to/3KO7rKM - BIQU Cryogrip Plate: https://amzn.to/470h4xh - Shrink Wrap Bags: https://amzn.to/47OzPW1 - ULEEY Model Nippers (Black): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFGQ2PN6?maas=maas_adg_524D299B8474D755E113A30AE0D89E6C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas #3DPrinting #AdventCalendar #BambuLab #CyberDeals #BulkOrder #SmallBusiness #NewProducts #Salamanders #MysteryEggs #ULEEY #ModelNippers #ProductDevelopment #PrintShop #MakerBusiness #AmazonHaul #FilamentHaul #BusinessReality #LightWeek #PreOrders 💬 COMMUNITY QUESTIONS - I NEED YOUR HELP!: 1. How do you think I should price the 12-day advent calendar? 2. How often do you add new products/change out products? ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Monday: Intro, Plans and Build Plate Issue 06:01 - Tuesday: New Mini's and Shelf Expansion 10:03 - Wednesday: Amazon Order Unboxing/New Products 17:37 - Thursday: New Products Update and Advent Calendar Issue 20:25 - Friday: Orders Packed and Bambu Bulk Order Unbox 26:12 - Farmers Market Setup and End of the Week Recap 🛒 SHOP & PRE-ORDER ADVENT CALENDAR: https://www.initiativedesign.shop/ **MONDAY - RESTOCKING & PRINTER ISSUES:** Goal this week: get back to 100% inventory after that festival sellout! Also noticed the A1 Mini is warping egg bases lately - ordered a new build plate to see if that solves it. Moved the printer to a better location too. **TUESDAY - DRAGON MYSTERY EGG & NEW MINIS:** Working on a new dragon mystery variant egg concept! Plus Cinderwing dropped some amazing new minis I'm adding to the lineup. Time to expand the shelving system again - business is growing! Big shoutout to ULEEY for sending model nippers for me to test and review! Always appreciate companies wanting honest feedback. **WEDNESDAY - MASSIVE HAUL DAY:** Took FULL advantage of Amazon deals and Bambu's Cyber Monday pricing! Complete unboxing of the Amazon haul showing all the new filament and supplies. When deals this good come around, you stock up! Also started working on something special - a 12-day advent calendar with mini mystery eggs! Each day reveals a different mini animal inside. Still figuring out pricing strategy on this one. **THURSDAY - NEW ANIMALS & ADVENT CALENDAR:** New products revealed: Hippo, Crab, and Arctic Fox! The advent calendar had a mild print failure, but nothing unfixable. My plan is to create one display model and then offer the rest as pre-orders to gauge interest before printing a ton. **FRIDAY - BAMBU BULK ORDER ARRIVES:** The Bambu Cyber Monday filament bulk order came in! Unboxing and showing what an incredible deal this was. If you haven't taken advantage of the Bambu cyber sales yet, you're missing out on serious savings! Final market prep complete - let's see how this week performs. **SATURDAY - LIGHT WEEK REALITY:** Market setup and end of week recap. Total sales for the week: about $300. Not every week is a $3000 festival - this is the real business reality. Light weeks happen, especially heading into certain seasons. The key is consistency and continuing to innovate with products like the advent calendar!
