Glowforge shipping date, beta releases, and bonus materials

Thanks for helping me out. I live in Illinois and I am too an Amazon Prime member. I never thought of looking there for materials or tools/accessories. Do you have any recommendations for anything?

Welcome to the Glowfamily. We are all looking forward to seeing our units soon. As any of the incentives, that’s well above my pay grade.

This is a very nice well put together list that’s a great start for me to look at. Wow, thanks for all the help my fellow glowforgers!:grin:

Welcome to our merry little band Slackk1994, glad you could join us! It’s fun to “see” a bunch of new faces around here. This is a really great group of very talented folks with one common GF bond. It’s really going to be fun to start seeing all the different creations that are about to happen as shipping heats up.

One thing though, you gotta go find yourself an avatar soon, it’s almost a requirement around here. If you go more that a week without one, I heard your GF ships last. (OK, that’s a total and absolute lie, I just like seeing all the different avatars lol :sunglasses: )

Keep an eye out for engravable “items” as well on Amazon, cutting boards, blank plaques, knives (I’ve picked up several nice pocket knives with wooden handles(scales?) that I plan on engraving - Plus I have a PRODUCTION GLOWFORGE sorry - I find myself shouting that randomly the past 2 days. but look through the forum - LOTS (I mean LOTS) of good informative posts for ideas, tips, hints and tricks…

We have a long history here from Beta and PRU of sharing early and often despite the intense excitement of having the :glowforge:. @PIGHEADED is just keeping the tradition alive and well.

Your questions are valid, and not at all stupid. Ask away - you’ll find that this forum is uncommonly helpful. Welcome :slight_smile:
