Ok so what’s the deal with food safety (or lack there of)
I’ve read it’s not recommended, but I don’t totally understand why.
FWIW I’ve only had wood in my GF.

Residual wood and acrylic would be left in the machine after you cut, no matter how well you clean it. The air assist could push that onto food.

I guess wood & plastic are oh so much more dangerous than all this stuff the FDA allows in our food :grinning:

Oth If you tick you head into the Glowforge and sniff you have to decide if you want your food to taste like the crumb tray or your next box to smell of the food.
