  • This user’s experience.
Style: Plus Laser Cutter
I received my Glowforge on time and it was well packed with some external damage to the box but everything inside was perfect. The setup was straight forward and I was able to print the good measure test key chain within about 15 minutes of removing the Glowforge from its box and putting it on its stand. So far I have made several things with my Glowforge and each project has turned out as expected and I’m quite pleased with the quality of the results. Laser technology gives very professional results with no saw dust! Yay! Included with my Glowforge was a selection of materials, (Glowforge calls them proof grade) which will get you started. I have since ordered some 3mm Baltic birch plywood from Amazon and it is working well for me using the maple plywood proof grade settings. The advantages of buying proof grade materials from Glowforge is its guaranteed to work well with your laser cutter and the settings are automatically selected for you via a quick code decal read by the camera. I recommend proof grade materials when first starting, but you can use your own materials which is what I do. As long as you stay within reasonable parameters you’ll have a pleasant cutting experience with other materials. The web based software has worked well for me and I have not experienced any crashes or print failures as a result of the software. You will need a reliable internet connection. Some people, including myself have complained about the lack of a fully implemented customer support system. As of right now, support is limited to email and the user forum. I have dabbled in the forum a little and for the most part have found the other users to be friendly and helpful. The user forum appears to be actively used and there is a wealth of information. I recently had an email conversation with a marketing manager from Glowforge who assured me, customer service is important to their company and this is something they will have fixed soon. Fortunately, I have experienced zero problems with my Glowforge and I’m almost at the point where I can say, I have full confidence in the product. I’m sure I’ll get there. As for the build of the product it feels very solid and has a premium look and feel to the construction and presentation. Nothing about it feels cheap, loose or as if it will easily break. The Glowforge plus, the model I have is sold as a consumer hobby grade laser cutter, but I see no reason why a small business couldn’t use it in a professional capacity as long as you weren’t running it all day everyday. That might be asking too much of it, but for regular one off customer jobs, I think it would be fine. Things to consider. 1 price. I don’t care how much or little money you have $4,300 including tax is expensive. You could buy a top of the line, take your pick of brand, washer and dryer for considerably less money. 2 size. This laser, while not huge, is going to need its own dedicated table or stand. 3 noise. I would say it’s louder than I was expecting about as loud as our vacuum cleaner. 4 smell. There is going to be odors from the cutting process and of course you definitely need a way to vent the smoke and fumes created by the Glowforge. Is it excessive? No, not enough to concern me, but I have a funny story. I live in a detached home with the typical track home distance between my house and my neighbors. The first time I used my Glowforge to cut anything, I suddenly got a text message from my neighbor checking to see if everything was okay because he smelled a funny odor and saw strange smoke coming from our house. I was worried at that point if I was going to have issues with my Glowforge use bothering my neighbor. Not something I want to do and it was disheartening after laying out all this money for my Glowforge and seemed I was having issues already. But turned out okay and he assured me it was fine he was just concerned. I made him and his wife a personalized Christmas tree ornament and he’s been happy ever since. So yeh, there’s gonna be smells. Plywood smells like a campfire, leather, I find is the worst and to me smells like burnt hair. I’ve been told acrylic smells awful, but I don’t have any experience with that so far. Overall I’ve been very happy with my Glowforge and knowing what I know now about it, yes, I would still buy it again. This of course all depends on how well the product holds up over time. It comes with a one year warranty for the pro and plus model. I bought the square trade 3 year extended warranty because it was only an extra $44 so why not. One last thing to note, when you get your Glowforge be sure to save all boxes and packaging materials. Glowforge will need to be repacked if you need to send it off to be repaired and the company charges $250 for a set of replacement boxes and packing materials. Yes, you read that right. So if you do decide to buy your own Glowforge, I think you’ll be just thrilled with it and you’ll hopefully have a pleasant buying experience as I did. I’m glad to see the Glowforge is now available to buy on Amazon. I’ll update this review if there are any issues or unexpected circumstances that change my opinion of this wonderful laser cutter. Thanks for reading. ... show more

  • Hobby laser not for a business. (update)
Style: Plus Laser Cutter
We bought it in hopes it would be a great investment. I gave it as a gift to my wife but in the end the customer support was spotty and only able to get help via email. The interface is web based meaning if Glowforge goes out of business and they turn off their servers boom you have a $4000 paperweight. Doing more research into them and on he forums you can see they deflect a lot instead of addressing real questions like extended warranty. Having an actual number to call for tech support. I think if they spent as much time and money into supporting as they do in advertising and sales they would be a great product to own. Unfortunately this is a BUYER BEWARE. Know that if a part breaks like a lens you are SOL and on your own. There are plenty of owners crying because their business is hinging on a part that is sold out on Glowforges site. So if you buy for fun then know thats all it would be good for. If you are buying because you are upgrading from your circuit I would recommend the MUSE. ***Update*** As of 2022 we still think GlowForge is still hot garbage and they are raising their prices.

  • New User experience and 3 tips
Style: Plus Laser Cutter
I ordered the Glowforge Plus a month ago from Amazon, and it arrived a couple of days later. Prime saved the typical $150 shipping charge, and using the Amazon credit card garnered another 5% cash back. The unit arrived with the packaging a bit undone, but there was no damage to the machine which was well packed. I followed the setup instructions, but did not get the glowing button by default, which prompted me to write an email to Glowforge support. I received a reply 4 hours later, which pleased me. Their reply directed me to hold the Glowforge button down for 15 seconds which would cause it to glow and be in the mode to look for the wifi in setup. With this tip I was able to complete the connection to my home wifi. I have installed and learned to use Inkscape to prepare the SVG files for the Glowforge. I am impressed with Inkscape and it is free to use. I saw a couple of tips on the Glowforge community forum, which I have followed to improve Inkscape. The first tip was to install a default Glowforge color palette where the colors are in the sequence that Glowforge will use in engraving, scoring and cutting the parts of a project. Thus, in design mode, I can pick the stroke and fill colors for the sequence that I want Glowforge to follow. Any cutting is placed as my last step. I know that the steps can be rearranged in the Glowforge software, but it is nice to have the project pre-sequenced when loaded. Another forum tip was to install a Box maker Extension in Inkscape, which I downloaded, installed, and have used to make boxes out of the proofgrade draft board or white hardboard. The extension makes it very easy to design boxes with dovetail joints on the corners. My most recent project used the Box extension to design and cut specimen cases for an upcoming rock show. Each case is 10x18x1 inches with an interior grid every 2 inches so that the case has 45 cells for displaying small rocks and fossils. My favorite materials to use are 1) Medium draftboard (proofgrade) 2) Medium clear acrylic (proofgrade) and 3) 1/8th inch white hardboard from Home Depot. The white hardboard has a shiny white surface and dark interior, which makes for excellent contrast when engraved. This white hardboard is also cheap at $11 for a 4 ft. x 8 ft. sheet. I had Home Depot cut the sheet in the store into 19 inch by 4 foot strips. I then cut these 19 inch strips on my table saw into 12 inch widths so I have 19x12 inch boards to put in the Glowforge. The smoke accumulation on the white surface easily wipes off with a damp paper towel. Or, I will cover the surface with blue painters tape to be the smoke shield. I use the following speed and power settings for the white hardboard: Engrave: 1000/full power, Score: 500/50%, Cut: 160/full power. The ability to save Custom settings is an improvement made by the Glowforge team since I purchased my machine. I appreciate continued improvements to their software. A project using medium clear acrylic was to design a 10x10 inch quilting ruler with slots at various distances for guiding a quilter's cutting wheel. I also own a BobsCNC and use the free Easel software from Inventables for router projects. The router has its own realm of applications and is wonderful. But by comparison, the Glowforge is a plateau step up in the accuracy and the detail that can be obtained. My last tip is this. Draw a rectangle around the entire project just outside the cut perimeter. I make this rectangle the first step of my project, and have its score setting at 500/5%. This weak setting is sufficient to mark just the painters tape without touching the material surface. The purpose of the rectangle is to confirm my project placement on the material. If this border does not draw in the intended position, I lift the Glowforge lid to abort the print, and then either adjust the material location or adjust the image in the Glowforge view, and restart the project. This extra confirmation step has saved my bacon more than once. In summary, I love my Glowforge and have been very pleased with it. ... show more
