We thought the WiFi chip had died, so they sent me a replacement - turns out our neighbors had cut our cable and we run our WiFi through the walls…so the first one probably went out to someone else as a refurb. Long live Hephaestus :slight_smile: and hear hear to the “Try setting up your phone as a hotspot” set of instructions.

While I don’t know if I qualify as a “long time owner” … I do feel like a “long time Glowforge guy”.

I preordered in early 2016, but living in Canada meant I had to wait over three years to take delivery of my :glowforge: !

To answer your questions:

  1. I’ve had my :glowforge: 2 years as of mid-June
  2. No issues at all
  3. Never had to send back a unit*

*However, I did have to return the air filter when it finally arrived several months after the Glowforge itself. They had sent me a European air filter that required 230V power, rather than the North American version.
