I don’t know what is happening! I have only used the glowforge a handful of times and when I went to cut something today the head was moving, but the laser wasn’t firing. I have the power set to full and I went through and cleaned all of the lenses and mirrors, and still nothing. The lenses are all in good shape. I even unplugged the white cord from the head and plugged it back in and still nothing. HELP PLEASE, I just bought like 150$ worth of supplies 
Check your design for duplicate lines – they can cancel each other out. The other thing to check is your power setting. Sometimes it gets knocked down to 1, which won’t make a mark.

I’m using a design that I’ve already successfully made, so I can’t see how that could be the issue. And I double checked power, I have it up to full power! any other ideas?
If you accidentally copied and pasted something so there’s a duplicate of the design on top of itself, you’d not see it, the machine would go through the motions, but nothing would be engraved. Even if you’re 100% sure that’s not the issue, customer support is going to ask you to rule that out as a possibility by printing the Gift of Good Measure design on Proofgrade material at Proofgrade settings, so you can get a head start by trying that now anyway. Crossing my fingers it’s something that simple!
