I received my Basic late on Thursday evening and immediately set it up and started burning things. As my basement became ever-more opaque it seemed clear that my venting setup was just a tad sub-optimal.
A quick trip this afternoon to Home Depot, an adjustable 4" elbow, a louvred vent, a big sheet of acrylic, two upgraded hose-clamps and some dremeling and a lot of Gorilla tape later I was ready to try again.
The founders ruler printed beautifully and a sketch of Cookie Monster traced and cut itself exactly on the lines (looks like I might have got a good one!).
Big thank you to Jules and her pirate chest design. It was a pain to glue together but looks amazing. I finished it off with a pirate skull engraving from the Noun Project and some hinges and a clasp from China.
This thing is super-easy to use and it’s absolutely fantastic to finally have it. Very much worth the wait!
Amazing! I’m sad that you didn’t post the Cookie monster one as he’s one of my top favorite characters from any genre. Congrats on getting your machine!
Thanks for sharing! The engraving and clasp give the chest unique character. Also, I love that you’re using the Glowforge lid as a photo stage. Keep up the awesome work!
