I noticed it for the first time yesterday.

Think a couple days. Another changeā¦ Now when you enter non-Proofgrade material thickness the material shows up in the top left corner of the GUI as Unknown/UNKNOWN. No longer a display of the thickness like before. Thatās not useful.

Team says they are both mysteries being investigated. Thanks for the heads up.

Iāll have to say that I am really disapointed about this news. Up until now, I found the GF team very honest through their communications. Every time they had issues on the technical development of the machine that lead to a additional delay, we had an e-mail with thorough explanations. I was really confident this time to receive my machine before end of July. And all of a sudden 3 additional months for no official reason. At least, no reason have been given for this.
Moreover, it seems that international backers are not treated as regular ones. How could international shipping have not started? We paid additional fee ($400 for me) for the extra price on shipping rates. So, we should be considered as normal customers and get our machine regarding the day we place the order not the place we are livingā¦
Is refund is still possible? I think 2 year waiting is too long for me. Especially, if an other last minute delay is added or if european backers get served last. Iāll go with the muse even itās a little bit more expensive.

Yes it is, we just try not to say it too much as a few started to say it as code for āwill you just shut upā.
If you are serious, go to the main page and you will find instructions.
I hate to see anyone go but I do understand that everyone has different circumstances.

Yes, the refunds are available up until you receive a notice from Glowforge asking if you are ready to accept delivery and provide a shipping address.
A revised schedule was included in the email that went out on June 7th. If you didnāt receive a copy, you can read it here:
It also has instructions on how to cancel your order if you decide you canāt wait any longer at the bottom of the email.
I know the Glowforge team feels really bad about the delays, but since there isnāt anything more they can do about it, the decision as to what is right for each individual has to be up to that individual. Good luck making your decision.

Thank for the info. For now, I just wanted to know if it is possible. Iāll take some time to think about it and until I get quotes (and delay) back from other manufacturers. I know they working hard to get everyone satisfied but I canāt find any info about international shippingā¦

you may wish to explicitly add hello@, support@, and danshapiro@glowforge.com to your safe senders list.

And Iām going to double ditto what @jrnelson said - everybody make sure you have the following three addresses included in your white list, 'cause otherwise you might miss the email that asks if you are ready to receive your machine, and that asks for your address. (Very very super important!)
hello@glowforge.com
support@glowforge.com
danshapiro@glowforge.com
If you miss it, they will likely send you another oneā¦ a month or so later. 
(You donāt want to miss it.)

Just to be clear, you can still cancel when you get the mail, up until you request delivery.

Just my 2 cents, but I just received my basic and my mind is blown!! As others have saidā¦ Itās well worth the wait if you can!

@dan when will we get additional information on international shipping. The topic is kind of ignored in the update. We will get our glowforge when we get it, but I do hope to get a better timeframe when we can expect the delivery.
Do you ship by order date or location? Is the question I think me and my fellow international backers would like to get answered.
Thanks in advance

Right now the only information we have is the same as for domestic, which is the ship-by date (glowforge.com/shipping).
I live in California and we put our glowforge in the garage. I found that it will not work when the temperature gets over 75 degrees, and I shut it off until later at night. Will keeping it in the garage damage it?
