The glowforge is slow for production work. I’ve done 10,000 tokens engraved both sides. 3,000 take about 160 hours of machine time. Plus there is the setup time, feeding the machine, flipping the pieces (if both sides) packaging and delivery. Weeding would have added about a week, so I opted for cleaning the smoke stain with ammonia which takes about 3 seconds per token instead of masking.
Very tedious work for $1.00 per token. It pays, but you will earn every penny.
