I have my second one coming just after Christmas :blush:

Larger table (2.5’ x 4’) and automatic torch height control (Z-axis movement to keep a fixed distance above warped material) and I’ll be able to swap in a diamond inscriber and engrave with it too.

It’s about as big as I can fit in the garage and bigger means bigger sheets of steel which get wicked heavy in a hurry :yum:

I have an oven stick that I used to press the print button for over two years on my Glowforge. I had to reach across my desk and it saved me from getting up. It has a magnet on it and I hung it on a lamp, if I remembered too. Now I have the Glowforge arranged differently so I can hit the print button with my hand since it is next to the desk.

And all along, I have had numerous burns from oven racks and baking. Perhaps I will retrieve it to the kitchen now. These do work great. Mine has ruler markings on it. Always handy to have one in the kitchen.

Thanks for the design! Should come in very handy.

There’s another thing that is needed but I’m too lazy to design it (I’m using a random block of wood now): my oven’s convection setting can be used to turn it into a food dehydrator for making jerky and such. Problem is the fan doesn’t run unless the door is closed and dehydration requires the door to be cracked. So I shove a small block of wood (with a string attached so I can retrieve it) into the gap so it presses on the “door close” lever and fools the oven into thinking the door is closed. The wood block needs to be of a specific size and shape to do the job. Anybody up for this one?

Happy cake day!!! If you had dimensions, I’d be happy to work it up for you.

How generous of you to offer! No, I’m thinking it will probably be a trial and error thing and I haven’t dehydrated anything in a long time so don’t need it desperately anyway. But thanks very much!

Thanks, I was looking for some stocking stuffers and these are perfect!

I sized them to fit on some of my offcuts and added some of the kitchen conversion freebie file.
