I still have not had a turn, but the kids are headed to bed now!
A few things I wanted to mention before I start to play.
It is wonderful! Such a lovely piece of hardware.
We took about 30min from the opening of the boxes to first print, but we were not in a hurry at all. We were oohing and ahhing at everything and inspecting as we went. The hardest part of the entire setup was the compression rings on the vent duct. My fingers were sweaty from the excitement and kept slipping open as I tried to slide it over the exhaust port.
Registration on the network was easy as one would expect. We were soon looking at the initial designs to print and mean daddy said we need to do the ruler first. Proofgrade in the tray and my youngest was honored with the first button press. We were all mesmerized as it cut our first test.
Everyone noticed the faint smell of smoke while it was cutting. Much like the smell of campfire on your clothes. Not objectionable but noticeable.
It was actually quieter than I expected. From the pre-release videos, I was getting a bit concerned about the noise. We were all standing around it watching and conversing without yelling. The sound outside is also less than I was expecting, and my exhaust run is very short. A pleasant surprise.
I am going to have to get used to some level of smoke residue and ash inside the unit. After just two prints (the deep engrave of the photo frame is what did it) there is a haze on the lid glass and tube. The Glowforge is so darn pretty, it pains me to see it.
Okay, now its my turn!
