Finally setting up my I received today. I noticed there is a black spot on the right side of the picture. I wanted to know if there is any way I can fix this? I tried cleaning the lid camera as well.
Update:
Tried cutting the Gift of Good Measure Keychain using medium draft board and I noticed the circles didn’t cut all the way through. It was still hard to push out.
Oh man, that’s the pits. Looks like something got into the camera and there’s really no way for you to get it out. The camera shouldn’t move and once something gets inside the housing it’s something support will have to deal with. (Almost looks like a hair maybe?) Welcome to the GF community and forum BTW!
Thank you @kittski I figured it was something stuck in the camera
Thank you for the warm welcome! Super excited to be here. Have been following for about 2 years now and my husband bought it for me as a surprise birthday gift
Oh man, hubby’s a keeper! You’re going to love this machine and can’t wait to see what you make with it. (We all live vicariously through each other. )
Don’t let this hiccup dampen things for you, support will take care of it. (I agree with rpegg, if it’s something in the camera, it will mean a replacement machine as they can’t fix it remotely.) Those cuts were soooo close and the rest of the GGM keychain looks really good and clean so it’s hard to know if it was a slight variation in the draftboard or?? The cool thing about how the GF works is support can immediately look at your machine logs to see if something is off. If you want to play a bit more while waiting for support you can try taking the speed down or power up by 5 or so and see how it goes.
Happy Birthday!
@kittski I was jumping around when I got home from work like a little kid today. He had told me a package came but I don’t recall ordering it anything! Don’t worry, the camera wouldn’t crush my mood. I’m too overly excited to make things hahaha. Yes yes, the cuts are close. I did another cut with the same draft board and it came out perfect! So I think so far the machine minus the camera is ok.
Thank you for the birthday wishes
Congratulations on your new Glowforge! I’m sure they will get you squared away as quickly as possible! It’s an exciting time … wow! What an incredible surprise gift from your husband!!!
Unfortunately, it looks like your unit is experiencing an issue that we can’t resolve remotely. I want you to have a reliable unit, so I’m recommending we replace this one. I’ll be in touch via email to sort out the details. I’m so sorry about the bad news.
