A few years ago, I saw a video on Facebook for a startup laser cutter/printer called Glowforge. I was so fascinated by it and showed it to my hubby who was also really thought it was interesting. We looked at it but decided that we would hold off because it was a two year wait.
Two years go by and well my hubby was still watching that video that showed all the fun things you could make. I mean you watch it and are amazed at how simple it looks and what it creates. So he figured with my big 4-0 coming to surprise me with it. He was so sweet when he told me he got it for me and that it would come in November. Well the arrival date got moved to March and well we hemmed and hawed about still getting it. Than all of a sudden, the email showed up saying it was ready to ship, nearly six months after we ordered.
So we got ready for it and prepped the area for it because it is huge. The proof grade material showed up and than we waited and waited. It was a long nearly two weeks between the email and delivery. So she we finally got "It's out for Delivery" we were so excited. I waited all day for it and finally we all had to leave for ball with both kids. The hubby left a note for UPS to leave it so when he got home, it was there.
So at 10 pm, we set it up and did our first and second print by 10:45. This machine is so easy to use. I spent the first 24 hours having fun with it. The only downsize is the smell is a tad like burnt marshmallows but we are getting use to it.
I made a ton of things some where from the catalog they have and some were from my own design.
Here are some of the fun things I made. I find it to be easy to use and figured I need to just use it.
