The purpose of this forum is to share information and help one another. It has been adding to its knowledge base for nearly 6 years - which is longer than the actual Glowforge product has existed. It began during the presale and before Glowforges were manufactured. I tell you this only because whatever you are feeling, many of us have also felt. We didn’t know for sure what we were buying until we got our hands on it and started creating. As we expand our experience, we share it so that others can benefit from our successes and failures.
Here is a great resource if you want more reading, and by all means keep coming back to the forum. Common problems/questions
