Oh man, only 16 hrs since Monday! Hang in there! We’re all just super excited to see you play with your (and eventually our!) new toy :slight_smile:

Going off grid for an hour. Need some non-screen time. Dishes done. Kitchen cleaned. Tonight’s project will be drawing on materials and cutting and engraving. I’ll go back down at 7:00 and get to work. Will post progress reports.

Oh, yes! We forgot to put that in the manual: Glowforges love to be sung to. :heart:

I just realized that my comment could have been interpreted as “get back to work.” I didn’t mean that at all! Take care of yourself - we’re all just excited…and a little jealous :slight_smile:

Understood, thank you for the response. Hope the software has something like BigDecimal ( https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigDecimal.html ) to help your engineers.

Hang tight. Uploading video first while I work on the writeup and screen shots. Had to eat. Last of the gravy and dressing from TG and the neck was all the meat left but you know, tender at the bone. Videos are two. One short at start. Somehow pushed stop. Go figure second is the bulk. It’s long and no narration until about half way.

and part 2.

@dan, I see a lot of talk about air bubbles in the tube on the Facebook forums with cheap K40 units. I don’t know if this really is an issue or nothing to worry about.

Any info from the team on this?

I haven’t heard anyone express concern. I focus on the tube for a little bit in the above print.

Did you mean to make the 2nd video private (requiring a You tube login) and grant them access?

Just enjoy the first response of your different attempts with GF :glowforge:

I like doing the commentaries on DVD’s (both the stand alone and the scene by scene responses of the actors, directors and writers). Drives my wife batty that I will watch the video/movie and turn right around and play it with the commentary.

Part 2 video says “This video is private.”

Edit: Sorry, just saw the other posts.

And boom! Headshot!

And if you could do me a favor and like the videos for the sake of Glowforge, even if they are but feeble attempts at documenting history.

Nice one-handed weeding! Thanks again for posting these videos!

BTW, I am sure that the something really appreciates the clarinet being put away rather than cat :cat2:

So lovely to see :slight_smile: Thanks for taking the time and effort to share all of this with us. (Now go invest in some gaffer’s tape to make weeding easier so you can make more stuff for us to see. :stuck_out_tongue: )
