Vendor Market Prep, Printer Maintenance & Pricing Decisions | Print Farm Weekly Vlog #46

Week 46 was all about preparation! Deep cleaned all the printers, revealed the airless basketball results, added tons of 3DGob models, and started planning for my first vendor market of the year. Plus, I need YOUR input on my festival pricing strategy! ❓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU: 1. Should I adjust my festival pricing style to bracket pricing? What do you think works best? 2. What style do you want me to do videos for each commercial license review/comparison? 🔗 AFFILIATE LINKS - Filaments & Gear: Interested in ordering a Snapmaker U1, Affiliate link below 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 | Shrink Wrap Bags: https://amzn.to/47OzPW1 | AlgoLaser Pixie: https://algolaser.com/?ref=xjbtuphk | Uleey Nippers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FFGQ2PN6?maas=maas_adg_524D299B8474D755E113A30AE0D89E6C_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Sunday: Intro and Printer Maintenance 04:05 – Monday: Airless Basketball 07:41 – Wednesday: Pricing Discussion 12:19 – Thursday: New Models 16:51 – Friday: Posted New Items to Shop 21:32 – Saturday: End of the Week Recap 📌 THIS WEEK: - PLAN: Adding 3DGob models + preparing for Valentine's Day market - 🧹 SUNDAY DEEP CLEAN: Full printer maintenance on all machines (20x speed timelapse included!) - Discussed my printer cleaning schedule and frequency - 🏀 AIRLESS BASKETBALL REVEAL: PEBA print finished - looks great but bounce disappointing (material or model issue?) - Multiple orders dropped off at post office - NEW: 3DGob dragon models with matching eggs - love that the eggs match! - ⛷️ Tuesday: Skiing day!
