Problem with Glowforge Pro

Hello! My Glowforge Pro has stopped working properly. When I send a file to print, the laser doesn’t fire and the inside fills up with yellow smoke. I’ve attached a couple of photos if anyone has any thoughts.


perhaps your heat sink is too clogged up and that’s what’s burning off?

other than that I don’t have a clue.

Looking at the window that the beam comes from that looks pretty messed up…

If you are using a filter that could be full also.

If it were me, I wouldn’t make any more attempts to use or repair it. The smoke could be coming from the electronics, or it could be about to catch fire. This is a job for the professional Glowforge support team.
