Just ordered my GF on Monday July 6 2020 and already made my first print Friday 10 July 2020 at 4pm (actually 2) and made an inlay of a drawing with the trace and cut tools. I will be creating files until materials arrive but expect to be busy for a while messing with this thing tonight.

If you haven’t already, take a look at the tutorials.
There’s some good info on manual settings, which I suspect you’ll be exploring soon.

Off to a good start.
When I bought this thing, it was just going to be another tool out in the shop, for those odd jobs you cannot easily do with other tools.
It is amazing how fast it becomes one of the go-to answers for so many different aspects of making things.
Watch how fast your first response to anything is “I can do that on the laser”…
