I’m not seeing the new options either. I was hoping to try it before I go to bed tonight.

Is there an ETA? I’ve tried logging out and back in and new/old projects with differing materials, not seeing anything new/different yet.

Draft Score — Use this option when you’re prototyping - the Draft score setting is faster, but it’s lighter in the middle and creates dark spots on corners.

This is so cool! I use light, fast scores to double-check placement (scoring the masking, not the material). Noticed the dark corners about an hour ago and wondered what was up… Not a bug, it’s a feature. :innocent:

Sure, you can engrave to a pretty good depth, 1/8" and more.

When they’ve rolled goings like ghost out before it took a day or two to propagate to all the people’s accounts. Not sure why that would be unless there’re individual :glowforge: settings that get altered too(or will be once they crank up individual the accuracy but they’ve got the back end already in place).

Question: Will HQ Score and Draft Score replace the two current scoring options? I kind of like having two options that both look consistent and good but one being not as deep as the other. Will I be able to adjust HQ Score to different depths?

Nice, I can’t wait to try them! 3D engraving :grinning: :tada:

Yes, they will. That’s helpful feedback, thank you!

@dan @rita in the absence of these functions in the interface, can you give us a little better idea of what “Graphic” does? does it run an HQ score around the engrave? or does it engrave in a different manner? slight defocusing maybe? or a combination of both?

Can you give me some more context for this statement? I have no idea what it refers to.

21

Probably another victim of autocorrect

My guess:

“When they’ve rolled things like this out before”

No scoring - just settings optimized per-material.

So this is interesting:

If it knows it’s “expiring soon” why doesn’t it just give me the new features? Slow roll-out?

You can PayPal me for a renewal certificate. I’ll make sure it’s handled this week.

Nice, 3d printing has been something I’ve been waiting on for awhile.
