On the filter being on a different schedule, for those of use who ordered it, is the plan to ship the Glowforge in December regardless if the air filter is ready?
Thanks

correct. Some people may be receiving their Glowforge and will still have to wait for the Filter. If you have the option to vent out a window until the Filter arrives, do so. Otherwise, you can request to delay your Glowforge delivery and try and sync it up with the Filter delivery. OR still get the Glowforge before the filter and have one of the most tempting desk toys ever that you can look at but not use

Great, donât have a window in the room where my Glowforge will live hence the need for the filter. Might knock a hole in the wall and get a refund. The consumables seem expensive anyway.

Do you have a second temporary location that you could use for the two or three weeks until the Filter is delivered? Youâve waited this long, what is a little bit longer?

I think the phrase is based on the somewhat obsolete âabated breathâ meaning held breath, which used to be shortened to 'bated then at some point the apostrophe was lost.

Ah! A fellow dyslexic. If you follow me at all you know that despite all the modern spell-checking I do this all the time as well as general misspelling. How I caught this is a mystery.

Unless youâve seen idiocracy, then it takes on a whole different meaning =P

Thatâs great news, @dan thanks for the update. Are the Pro models on the same ship schedule? I havenât seen much info about either the filter or the pass-through, but hope those are still on track.

In the interest of full disclosure: I am still completely ok with receiving my Glowforge in the full production cycle, however I did just fill out a BETA application. What can I say, Iâm excited and patience isnât one of my virtues⌠

I am excellent at spelling and have a pretty good vocabulary, but I did not know about the word âbatedâ. Iâve used it in speech, but donât think Iâve ever had occasion to spell it as a word. Thanks for the clarification. I love stuff like this and feel good having learned at least one new thing today!

I wouldnât sweat it. The number of spelling errors, grammar faux pas and malapropisms on here is fairly consistent with that demonstrated by the public at large. I just pretend theyâre the start of another punny thread hijack.

I actually have created a collection of malapropisms from time spent on the internet. Pretty amusing and very revealing.

I have still managed to get my point across in spite of self-assembled definitions and spellings.
What gets me is often I will look up a word I have a good understanding of and have used for ages, only to discover it is not the first definition⌠

Okay, letâs see it! (Might want to start a new thread for it.)

I feel the same way, if I have waited this long I can wait a little longer, patience is one of my virtues. But I do not lose anything by applying . And if there is a confidentiality agreement maybe just make my family happy because I won´t be allowed to talk about the glowforge so they will rest for a while after all year hearing me talking only about it.

I donât think weâre quite at the âwater the crops with Gatoradeâ stage just yet⌠but if society continues to dumb itself down, we could get there.
Thatâs why this whole maker movement is so amazing. Itâs getting kids excited to learn and shaping their desires such that they want to always be improving and learning.
