Today was my first day with the Glowforge and I had no idea what to expect. So I made the ruler, but it wasn’t obvious in the instructions that I didn’t have to download software and that I was already right there with all the projects and just need to put some wood in, and hit print. But then, I couldn’t be stopped.
So I made a few things, tests, etc. Images./photos are so easy. This thing is smart. Can’t wait to do more!
(I plan to just keep updating this thread with my creations, if that’s ok with this community. I’ve done that with other forums, and like to keep track of my progress in one thread.)
It’s so cool to see someone happy and excited about their new machine and creating such great things. And I think it’s a great idea to just keep adding to your thread! Can’t wait to see what you make next
It really is a remarkable machine. I don’t know how many people are still waiting for their Glowforges, but your testimony adds to the chorus thrilled with this thing and glad that they waited. I don’t know if it’s better to update a post with new work or add new posts. I tend to watch the new posts list and only follow single posts that were really interesting. I don’t know what other people do.
In my opinion, that’s what makes GlowForge so great - you get an affordable machine but don’t have to figure out all the settings, the GFUI and proofgrade materials take out all the guesswork…
Perfectly okay, but more people will see them if you create new threads for the projects. Adding to an existing thread makes things easy to miss. Discourse gives us New notifications for new threads, and a lot of people only read the New listings.
Nice!
Yes, users like us were a target market, to open the door for the uninitiated - and they nailed it!
For 2 years here both new and unread were kept at zero.
Personally since the forum has exploded I can only keep up with new posts, my unread count is now at 3393!
So Jules is right I think.
