Is there any type of leather I sound not use in the glowforge that would produce toxic fumes from the tanning process?
This forum has a lot of great topics about leather already. If you search the forum for “leather source” for example, you’ll find a lot. That being said, veg tanned is typically the best. Chromium tanned will create worse fumes, but as I understand it, you can still use this as long as your ventilation is well set up.
The biggest thing to look out for is fake leather-many fake leathers or faux leathers have PVC which is toxic and will also destroy your machine.

That’s fine! It’s a good forum, which means that there’s a wealth of help both in the search and by creating new posts! Usually start with a search, then post something if you have more or different questions. And always post what you make!
