One year ago today was the day! I got my Glowforge. I figured I’d make a compilation of some of the things I made with it! Fun Fact, almost all the pictures I’ve taken over the last year have been of either my baby or a Glowforge Project.
Things I’ve learned. I really need to take more pictures of my projects. Some of them I forgot to take pictures of. I should make duplicates of some of my gifts. There are a few that I wish I had a copy of now.
Overall, I’ve loved using my Glowforge. It’s kind of amazing the amount of changes that have happened over the past year since I’ve received it! Thank you @dan, @tony, @Rita, @bailey, and the rest of @GlowforgeStaff for a wonderful product!
I haven’t finished my 1 year project/experiment yet. Good news, I have all the parts now and tested it out. Bad news, I needed a bigger transformer. I have it now, which means more testing (if it’s not wet outside).
Mine has survived everything I’ve done to it, and that’s saying a lot.
In my case, I screwed up with some non-OEM products that took her down for a week or so while we figured out what I did. And my DH helped, which resulted in another week down. But she’s been back in business since and going strong.
(I’m just a little more careful about what I use in her now.)
Posted it when it happened. (Have you ever known me to not warn you guys?)
Those little bits of flaming kamikaze paper and glue adhered to the fan blades, knocking the fan out of balance. Which led to DH shoving the gantry too far forward too hard during the cleanout process, which stretched the high voltage cable under the gantry and caused homing problems.
All of which could have been avoided if I had engaged my brain prior to engaging the laser.
Sorry, Jules, I think I was mid Atlantic when you posted, and have been somewhat absent since.
But back now, so watch out for the

EDIT
Should have added ‘back now’ as reading posts ! Actually in UK for what I trust is my final visit before the green card interview, probably August.
arrives!
