If it came with free goggles, I would have considered getting one.

Heck with Glowforge Steve! Trotec watch out!!! This looks like a production machine to me!!

No goggles huh? Hmmmmmm.

[Ron Gosnell]

How many kids will burn their eyeballs out with that ?

I like the way they spell laser on the circuit board. Quality control and FDA approved.

All that without a kick starter campaign ~

If you look at the other lasers on their website......some look kinda scary......I can't figure out where the fume extractor goes though......

[Bruce Volden]

Where in the heck were all these lower priced laser mfgr's. back in 1994 when I first got the bug?????? GRRRRR
Think of the money I would have saved!

I'm actually thinking about getting one for my laser tattoo removal business......my Epilog works fine for hands and feet......but when someone asks me to remove a tat on their belly, I just can't get them all the way in through the pass through door......with this laser, I can place it right on their belly and zap that tat right off!!!

Get a nice fat Mitsubishi 7.5kW and remove a tattoo in the next town all from the comfort of your armchair ;) (and your neighbours house, their car, their garden and anything else in the way)

I can see the kids now, you know the 12 year old ones they would have SO much fun with those! And lots more on the website to choose from, nice that our Chinese friends are making available so many fun things.

If you put an ant in a Glowforge will the camera follow it to vaporize it like a magnifying glass

Let us know how it works. It comes with free goggles, a $4.99 value!

I like the way the larser head is attached. It is pretty cool the way they used disk drive components.

Well you can't fault them for their marketing:
"ideal for amateur laser engraving"
"you can print any pictures your like with lots of fun."

Get one of those modules, a couple stepper motors, drivers and software and you can make a portable wall mural engraving machine. Something like this:
