10 kg a week? What are you printing? I have heavy months and lower months, but I would be surprised if I managed to hit 5 kg in one of my heavy months. Granted, all my prints are for myself or friends and they’re 95% functional.
At the moment, sculptures. They are between 200-300g per print. I am kicking off prints twice a day, for three printers.
Selling them I take it? That's a lot of sculptures.
Ideally. Right now, I feel like I am just building a knowledge of art history.
