Luz this is real a good looking product. The use of the GF provides endless potential for custom illustrations on the side panels, especially if you use tools like PhotoGrav or Photoshop add landscapes or pictures to personalize the laptop stand. GF is a great alternative to having to use an exacto knife to cut models, mock ups, etc. Keep up the great work!

I’m looking forward to seeing how you add the LED lights, other than having Dan hold it

Hey! I wonder if you could make one of those calendars where the day/date lights up, using this technique along with a Raspberry pi?

Hi Luz, I’m happy for you to be able to use the Glowfrog. However, how long is the Glowforg company going to keep dangling the proverbial carrot in front of us? As I keep hearing about new people like you to be able to enjoy it. My hopes of actual getting a Glowforg keeps dwindling away. I have not as of late heard of any shipments or near future shipments. Do you know any new updates? I’m sure there are a few more owners feeling the same and not saying anything.

This thread has a lot of information on shipping and recent activity. Click this link and keep reading down. That should hopefully answer your questions. @Dan says they are still on target for ship date.

No production units have been shipped as yet. This is per the original schedule… Orders are filled in the order they are placed. See the main website FAQ http://faq.glowforge.com/hc/en-us/articles/210277688-When-will-my-Glowforge-ship-
Heard a couple days ago from Dan that they are still on schedule.

thank you for pointing that out - I just over read it! Made my day - from now on I wait for the glowfrog! 
After I receive the Frog it (he??) might become the Glowforge again…

If you kiss the Glowfrog, it might magically turn into the Glowforge Prince!

I read the title, and that was exactly what I thought it was going to look like. I plan to make one of those as well!

Take a look at the hobby king website. Lots of cheap LED Strip options that can run off of low voltage. Should be easy to rig up a power supply. For a bit more cash you can get strip lights at home depot that you can cut to length. The big issue with either of these is that they aren’t that attractive. You might want to mount them inside of a base the stand sits on so that they light shows without the rest of the strip lighting.

thats awesome @Luz, I just got done constructing a similar stand in Fusion 360 but I went with a solid top… I also wanted to make it out of acrylic… what thickness did you use with yours? Love the engraved sides as well, makes it so much more than a plain stand!

@ffpdfirefighter2002 I believe it was about 2.5mm thick? Actual measurement was closer to ~2.6mm though.
