The KA Kids have the answer - you just need to wait longer before pressing the GF button. It's interesting to see how quick those guys are to find fault with the user or the rest of the world. It...

That's pretty much what one of the UK buyers has been saying. Seems a shame to pay tax on something you get for free.

So far as I can tell, all of the stuff Matt has been posting here is available for reading on the GF forum.

BTW, there is an ongoing discussion in the forum about whether or not the International...

Some time back, the GF CEO mentioned on the forum that the cloud service for the features that had been announced at the start of the pre-order campaign would always be free to users but he implied...

I think the topic of International warranty has come up a few times in the GF forum and the official reply was that International DOAs would be replaced at no cost (shipping either way or the cost of...

Matt - many users are asking if GF could at least post when a software or firmware update has been made and the more pushy users are asking for change logs and status pages showing if the GF cloud is...

For the GF owners need to rationalize the problems to keep more buyers coming in. To paraphrase one of fan girls on the forum "if the company fails we only have a dead laser cutter". That might...

It's interesting how the GF KA Kids are so quick to find excuses for any failure in the unit or the software. Stuff like not waiting long enough for the unit to cool down, the material not being...

AIR, my forum posting rights were terminated within a few hours of my order cancellation. Not only that, but the thread where I mentioned my cancellation was "disappeared" for a few hours and I'm...

I feel the same way, but can understand why GF doesn't allow posts for folks that haven't bought. The forum would soon be inundated with critics and that might cost them some pre-orders or future...

I look through the GF forum regularly and often find people with naive expectations. For example, the folks that used their CCs as a bank to borrow money to pay for the GF upfront and ended up...

[QUOTE=Matt McCoy;2758526]
Is this exclusive to GF or can that be said of any company?
/QUOTE]

That can probably be said about any company that offers a cloud service, but there are a lot of...

Bingo - that's my guess, too. In the CEO's book, he mentioned that every startup is for sale, pretty much from the time it is first formed.

And what happens if the CEO changes or GF gets sold to another company? Will those "promises" still be honored? Also, what happened to the firmware release that GF was supposed to make when they...

This is what Dan claimed in 2015:

Since they are so close to shipping most of the domestic pre-release...

It looks like GF uses 2 steppers to move the Y-axis. Is that common on any level of laser? Seems like most use a single stepper and belt(s) to move both sides of the gantry on Y, but I'm pretty...

I'll be facing a somewhat similar issue in a month or two when I move a 300-lb 16x24 laser from the garage down to my basement office. I'd originally planned to use a stair stepper like this one and...

FWIW, someone posted some Glowforge hardware info on GitHub:

GF's storied legal team is probably not too happy with that,...
