The box took one hell of a beating on the way here. Missing 3 of the 4 handle locks and one end was a bit flappy. All said though the Glowforge came through in perfect condition. Nice work on the packing design!

I have yet to provide a name and am open to suggestions if there are any. Once I have good name in place the escutcheon will be a fast follow.

I have run the customary first print for all .

Congratulations on getting the cat.
Not sure I’d call him shiny. (Unless we’re talking about the Firefly usage of the word.) But I’m sure a good friend. :wink:

Oh, cool Glowforge, too.

Congratulations! How long did it take you to get yours from shipping e-mail to UPS at the door? Just wondering as I got my e-mail on Friday.

11

no real idea honestly, though it was not to long wait.

I am also a master at going from "YAY!!! I got my e-mail ! " to “Ehh? yeah got an email. Umm couple days/weeks ago. I dunno.” :smiley:

Ahhhhhhhhh… I am obsessively checking my e-mails, and have saved everything they have sent me in the last 2 years. Just wondered how long I have to wait yet.
Now that it seems within my reach it almost is harder to be patient. :o)

Probably 2-4 weeks. If you live in northern CA you may receive your glowforge before your we’ve shipped it email. If you live east of the Mississippi you have a week in transit.

Thanks were in Wisconsin so probably a few weeks yet.

Congrats! and looking good!

I love that Glowforge customers’ “garbage” is more interesting than most people’s actual projects. This is delightful - welcome and congratulations!!!
