Yippie!! 
That is an Awesome name! I’m a huge fan of the Pern books as well.
So glad that your glowforge arrived in one piece.

Awesome! Ramoth the Golden…a fitting name for a fire breather. (May there be no Threadfall to rain on your parade.)

Love the name!! Grew up with Anne McCaffrey’s books.
Sweet that your daughter got to do the first button push😄
Write them down and number them…then roll a dice or 2 to determine the order…and stick with it…adding more into the rotation if needed…lmao…
I have so many projects I want to do but have the “oh look squirrel syndrome” that I never stay on target…mostly because I come on here way too much and see all the cool things you all are making!!!

Actually, before jumping into too many projects just sit down and play with the Glowforge. Check out how it engraves, check out scoring and note the differences.
After running a few canned jobs (I liked the phone stands that @smcgathyfay designed) and give those a try. It took me a couple tries to get everything right (don’t engrave the curly-cues, score them!)
That and catalog stuff will get you thru the first day. Try the scanning, it works great!
Then start pushing a bunch of your own (and other people’s stuff) through the machine. You’ll have a much better idea what to expect and I think will get up to speed much faster. There is a lot to take in, even after having read the forums from top to bottom

LOL. Nobody has time for that 
I thought I had it but screenshots went from welcome to GF to placing the Founder’s Ruler. Maybe next time

I agree with this. I’m playing with settings, doing some basic engraving, trying different materials…

Congrats! So excited for you!
Congrats!!!
You are going to love it! Congratulations. And don’t sweat the whole being slow thing… My unit arrived around 10:30am and it was 7 or 8pm before I actually was able to make my first print.
Something that I missed, check out the support page in the app and you’ll find a link that walks you through your first three designs; technically you’ve already figured out the first, but the other two may save you a little frustration. (That and just know that “Add Artwork” will turn anything you choose into a raster image, even if it’s a layered SVG full of vectors)
