Can anybody point to a page on the wayback machine that actually says the December shipping was for beta units and production was starting Q2? People accuse me of not doing due diligence but I ordered on 27th of September and I can’t find any page with that information from then. It was only after ordering that I was invited to this forum that I found out.
I did read a lot of the website before ordering. There is this quote from the FAQ when will my Glowforge ship: “We’ll ship the first units in December 2015 and roll out the rest of the units over the next few quarters as production ramps up”.
Since I ordered very close to launch mine should be one of the “first units”. No mention of beta testing. It just reads a slow ramp up of production starting December and continuing over the next few quarters, so that includes Q1. It was never going to happen then so it must have been a deliberate deception to get orders.
