(And yes, multiple Glowforge units may have the same name, so it’s OK to share).

Was going to name it MARLEY in anticipation of it “Always Be Jammin Mon”. (Can also say “One Love” inspired the name if it makes your day).

Or bOb to prevent someone named Bob to think I was responding to them.

I wasn’t paying attention when I named my forge, are there restrictions on length, characters, spaces?
