Every country but the one you are indigenous to is perceived as more dangerous.
I sometimes think this of Australia but then realize that if if was that bad no one would live there.

Welcome!! Sad to hear of your diagnosis.
I know the delays have been hard for everyone ⌠but know that we all want a quality end product. That is what my husband & I think about when weâve discussed the prior delays. âWe havenât any laser experience ⌠so, itâs better that the product is rightâ. âSlow to ship the units ⌠well, they really need to make sure they get the packaging up to snuffâ.
After two years ⌠weâre still dreaming, and actually starting to get some projects ready ⌠because the wait is almost over.

@Myth, thanks so much for posting! If you ordered a Pro during the first day, and are located in the US, you shouldnât have too long to wait.
We appreciate the faith and funds you entrusted us with, and will do everything we can to not let you, and everyone else who believes in us, down.

I certainly hope what you are saying is true having ordered a Pro at 10:34am on the first day.

Oh I will.
We are doing a big push this weekend to prepare the space for it.

For the past two years theyâve been advertising âPassthrough software uses the camera to maintain alignment as long material is pushed throughâ as a feature included in the Pro price.
I canât imagine them actually getting it working without using a mechanical guide system or something like Origin Shaperâs âShaperTapâ to orient the camera.
They should refund the price of features they canât deliver. In California itâs illegal to sell people a product with advertised features that donât actually exist.

Does that law have a caveat for beta software? From what I understand the glowforge software is still in beta. I wonder if that would make all beta, pre release and early access games illegal in California

Oh you have the option for getting all of your money back if you donât want the unit. No one is going to hold a gun to your head and force you to take something that was advertised one way and delivered another.
Or you can opt to wait until itâs ready.
Your choice, both times.

Beta software isnât sold, people are allowed to use it for free, generally in exchange for helping to evaluate the product. The Glowforge tech specs, FAQ, or Terms of Service have never mentioned that features donât actually exist, that they are âbetaâ, or that they may change prior to delivery. Iâm sure theyâll get it sorted out thoughâŚ

Well Iâve given them a nearly $4000 loan for two years with 0% interest, so I might as well wait for my laser

Probably a good decision.

I donât have the space for the K40, among other things.
And once those features are available, does Glowforge prevent those GF 
units, which were refunded, from every getting those features?
Should Glowforge then not deliver any GF units to California?
It is odd (without a context) as to the direction that your statements are leading to.
The question I have is what is it that you are wanting?

The photos of some of the K40âs on fire are also a little concerning to me.
Go ahead & get one, especially if youâre overseas. Then youâve got until your email comes to decide if itâs good enough. There are lots available used too. (Mine likely will go on the block after the Gerbil Kicksarter as 3 lasers are 1 too many 
).

That would indeed be a concern for me.
Iâll have to remember to put that in my ad when I sell it - ânever been on fireâ Most are in the same position though. The fires get attention like GF DOAs because theyâre uncommon events.
