Stage 1 Upgrades, New Skool Pricing+Give Away & Server Downtime
In this edition:
- New upgrades for FarmLoop Stage 1 (X and P Series) - adjustable bed clips and updated toolhead cover.
- New Skool pricing starts at $10/month. Plus: Bambu Lab A1 giveaway this Friday for members.
- Our server went down for the first time. Everything is back online.
Let's get into it.
1. Upgrades for FarmLoop Stage 1 (X and P Series)
While we're pushing hard to finalize Stage 2 for X and P Series, we've been improving Stage 1 based on your feedback. Thanks to everyone who reported issues and suggestions.
- Improved Bed Clips. Some of you wanted more bending angle, so we developed adjustable bed clips. These can be configured to allow more bending for parts that need extra force to detach.
- Updated Toolhead Cover. Some users reported that during the push routine the toolhead cover could detach, causing an error. We've engineered a new version that holds the toolhead cover in place and prevents it from falling off.
2. New Skool Pricing: Starting at $10/month
My goal has always been to offer the most value to everybody, no matter where you are in your 3D printing journey. Until now, our Skool community was $30/month.
That's a lot if you're just getting started and still figuring out whether 3D printing is the right business for you.
So I created a new structure that makes more sense:
- Standard Tier ($10/month) - Perfect if you're just starting your business. Includes core classrooms, community access, and the fundamentals you need to get going.
- Premium Tier - Full access to all classrooms, AMAs, giveaways, and advanced content like CAD Challenge Advanced.
- VIP Tier - Everything in Premium plus full FarmLoop App access included. If you need FarmLoop, this tier bundles it all together so you don't have to pay for the app separately.
Start where it makes sense for you. As your farm grows, you can always upgrade.
One thing to keep in mind: as I add more classrooms and tools, the prices will increase. But if you join now, you lock in your price forever. That's grandfathered pricing for life.
And one more thing: This Friday we're giving away a Bambu Lab A1 printer exclusively to Skool community members. There's never been a better time to join.
3. FarmLoop App Server Downtime
Our server went down. First time ever, and I know the timing couldn't have been worse. It's busy season. I'm genuinely sorry if this caused you any trouble.
Redundancy kicked in. We have a backup server for exactly this reason. Once we spotted the issue, we switched over and got things running again.
Both servers are now operational. The main server is back online, and the backup stays ready.
We're investigating the root cause so we can prevent this from happening again. If you experienced issues during the outage, everything should be working normally now.
If not, hit reply and let me know.
