Hi!
I just received my Glowforge basic and I wanted to share my first print. It is a tic-tac-toe board made from walnut plywood and glass green clear acrylic. Here it is:
I think if I were to make this again, I would be careful with the amount of gorilla glue I used to attach the pieces to each other. Some of it squeezed out when I put it together and left a white mark.
That’s so cool! How hard is it to take out the pieces? I guess you have to flip it over? As for glue, try the gorilla glue polyurethane. With that, you can clean up the squeeze out/foam with isopropyl alcohol, and not have that white residue. Just stay on it because once it’s dried you have to use a tool to get it out. Plus it accepts stains.
Long before I got a cnc and laser, I would see something in a store and say “I can make that.” Finally had to quit saying it because I never did and the wife would always reply “you always say that but you never do.”
