Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there were some posters here who specifically called out that Glowforge's promised air filter dimensions were basically physically impossible to adequately filter the output...

If you thought a half inch out of alignment was bad...

This user experienced a "print" offsetting his design 7 inches for no apparent reason.



Seems like maybe you can't.

Hah I had not heard this one before.

Interesting video from a couple of guys at Tested, who each bought a Glowforge and have been using them for a few months: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3317w0_HuX4

Yeah I thought that line "The 3D laser consumer space is currently unchartered territory" was especially funny.

Looks like Glowforge is planning to ramp up the marketing, including doubling down on the nonsense "3D laser printer" terminology. Just saw this press release:...

Here's the post I assume Jerome is referring to, from a FB Glowforge group. It does look like they were cutting cardboard, not wood.

Strange indeed. I have images turned on, and I see the images in your post (and others), just not the video. This is what it looks like to me:

I figured that Kev, but I can't see any video in your earlier post at all, and from what Bill said, I don't think he can either. I was posting the link so people could see the video you were talking...

I believe this is the original campaign video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysCaqh38JVQ

Notice that they only show actual laser-cutting happening from very close-up, and only in a few shots. It...

According to this article, the company was founded in late 2014. So they've been working on it for three years, at the most. That said, I doubt what they showed during their pre-order campaign was a...

That's not how the Glowforge works. The cloud sends down the pulses for the steppers and the Glowforge hardware just sends those pulses directly to the steppers.

Scott, that post is edited and updated on a regular basis to reflect the current "shipping" status. If you float over the pencil icon next to the original post date you can see when it was last...

We don't have evidence that the Glowforge 3D engrave piece was made fully on an actual Glowforge and not a CNC or some other laser, but it is at least real and not Photoshopped. You can see the CEO...

That's probably because as soon as you request a refund they disable your forum account. Before they issue the refund. No dissenting voices are allowed in there unless they keep their $4,000 on the...

I believe what he actually said was that they had produced "around 90 units," not "less than 100."

Aaaaand there it is.

Watch one of the pre-release units cutting and engraving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O2a8CSzOI4

I don't think that's quite accurate. I believe you send the design file from your laptop to GF servers, then the GF servers connect directly to the GF unit. The machine never talks to anything but...
