 backlog in the fourth quarter of 2023, offset in part by sales of the higher priced Sapphire 1MZ, Sapphire XC and Sapphire XC 1MZ systems throughout the first three quarters of 2023. The negative revenue performance was due to lower systems sold, mix of lower production volumes and discounted system pricing offset by our change in product mix to include more higher priced systems as discussed previously, resulting in a decrease in the average selling price. The 3D Printer sales also included parts and consumables revenue.

Recurring Payment, structured as an operating lease, was $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in the number of 3D Printer systems in lease generating Recurring Payment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our Support Service revenue was $9.6 million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily attributed to services rendered to SpaceX in relation to the licensing agreement and to an increase in the number of 3D Printer systems in service as of December 31, 2024, compared to the number of 3D Printers in service as of December 31, 2023.

Other revenue was $5.0 million and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in other revenue was attributed to a licensing agreement with SpaceX in September 2024, where SpaceX obtained a non-exclusive license to certain Velo3D patents and technologies for its internal uses only.

As part of our Strategic Realignment, we have implemented new go-to-market and service strategies to rebuild our bookings and backlog pipeline. As we rebuild our bookings and backlog, we expect the demand for the Sapphire, Sapphire 1MZ, Sapphire XC and Sapphire XC 1MZ to increase our revenue in the future. We expect Recurring Payment revenue to remain flat or decrease as we continue to shift our focus to 3D Printer system sales. We expect our Support Service revenue to increase as the number of systems we have in the field increases. As of December 31, 2024, our backlog for firm orders was $16 million for 3D Printers. Our focus for revenue has shifted to ensuring customer success and improving system reliability to strengthen our
