I just have to announce something I’m excited about today-
I got my Glowforge back in March. I’m an independent artist/crafter by trade and started selling products I made with it.
As of a couple days ago I’ve officially made back the entire cost of the Glowforge!
I am really proud of this accomplishment and really would like to say thanks to the GF team for creating a tool that has become an invaluable part of my business!
ya know. as somebody that has barely gotten to use his… THBBBBBTTTTTHH (that is a raspberry 
)
Seriously though Congratulations. My hope with Beamer is that he can help fund other tool purchases. CNC router etc.
if I ever get to use it. 
What were the nature of your ‘money-making’ projects … generalities are just fine if you care to divulge. Otherwise --> props to you for monetizing your investment.
For me … my time with Phantomforge is time my wife has to herself (as long as I give away all my ‘projects’ and they don’t stay home to roost.)
Congratulations! The real achievement, in my opinion, is producing and marketing products in such a successful way. The Glowforge is a wonderful tool, but your talent is the true asset.
Brilliant (UK equivalent of “excellent”…)
I am not a crafter/artist, but given the amazing capabilities at my disposal, I think I’ve come up with a way to pay for my Pro “and then some”…
