Totally agree it would be great to have some free designs to cut out of the box so you can test/showoff your sparkling new Glowforge.
It has been mentioned that as the launch draws nearer they will allow user submission to the “catalog”. Its vaguely addressed in the video that it will be a place for some approved free designs and a place to sell premium designs – at least I think. And I think they are taking suggestions so jump in on the conversation.
Check out this thread – Free Design Catalog – @dan talks a little bit about the goal of the Catalog
