Hi. What is the recommended way to clean the exterior of the Glowforge? I just wipe with a dust cloth but I think the glass could use a cleaning. I searched but could not find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance!
I use a 50/50 water and vinegar mix, it really works well, leaves no streaks, and sucks up that smoke gunk!
NEVER SPRAY directly on the glowforge, spray on a rag / paper towel, and wipe
flip and repeat!
if that doesn’t get it clean, try alcohol - same idea, put on paper towel and wipe.

I’ve never cleaned the exterior of my GF, the side panels are stacked high with glues and tools.
I use the lid as an assembly surface, however. So it often gets glue or paint on it. I clean it off with a razor blade and occasionally alcohol or sprayway window cleaner.

Simple Green.

NOT pure simple green, that’s pretty potent - I use that to clean crumb trays
you gotta mix simple green with water to use it as a cleaning formula

I’d say that with ALL screens / electronic stuff. Always spray the cloth and then clean the surface. Never spray the surface!

Um, ok. By “pure” do you mean “undiluted concentrated” Simple Green? That all depends on what you are cleaning off the glowforge. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions. I have no issue with using the concentrated stuff at full strength (on a rag or a paper towel) to clean off a wood-tar/resin finger print or a grease smudge. YMMV.
