I forgot to get some action shots of me painting and assembling. Good news, though. I only glued my fingers together twice! Bad news, I glued my fingers to the part more than that.
Two issues I had. Iâm not sure who to tag for this, so @Rita, @GlowforgeStaff. #1 For some reason, part G did not print the first time. When I was taking inventory, I noticed it was missing and went back and cut it. Not sure why that happened. #2 When full of candy, it is difficult to close. Part L hits the candy on the way down. I recommend a design change, where the corners are cut off, similar to what I have drawn. I might take a dermal to this part, if I can.
How cute is that? I kept seeing the little guy in the MakerFaire shots, but never close enough to get a good lookâŚand the power went out leaving you in the dark with the candy monster? Spooky!
I see the reference to the catalog by the OP and says me, "I better check out this catalog since my Golden Email came over two weeks ago."
So perusing the catalog I see several interesting things and then I come across several items that say âAlready Purchased.â I donât remember purchasing any designs and wonder if this is part of the original purchase or what?
The âAlready Purchasedâ items are part of the free gift from Glowforge. You will eventually get all the items from the initial video, once they are released.
I modified part L with a dremel. The red line is what I cut. This did not fix the problem, just moved it. Now instead of hitting the green circled edge, it hits on the yellow circled edge.
I have a few more ideas on how to fix this. I will try them out and see if they work.
I painted beforehand, then assembled. The only part I had an issue with was the horns. It would bind slightly. I just sanded the slots a little and it worked fine.
I couldnât post a good picture on my phone. These are the slots where I had some binding issue. I would recommend sanding them slightly before assembly.
She also confirmed the issue with the horns binding in the slots, especially after painting. This seems simple to correct in the source data - if we had access to it. Iâll submit a support request to let GF know about it.
Hey guys as of Yesterday Feb 21 , I try cutting the project and for whatever reason the second file, (the one with the face and outline of the monster) printed fine in the engrave pass, but when it did the second pass (which was Score) it basically cut the wood⌠Its this correct⌠This seems like a bug⌠Now I canât really put this together since the top of the hair and Belly are detached from the main outline⌠Any helpâŚ?
The area you say got cut, shows âscoreâ on my system. I suppose it might be more helpful if I could duplicate what happened to you, but maybe this rules out the design data being the culprit - might be some other issue with your browser cache, bad day at the GF server farms, etc.
No. I would post your issue in Problems and Support or email them directly at support@glowforge.com. They most likely will not see your post here. Donât do both: they say it takes longer if you do both and causes them more work.
I have read of a couple other users who had this issue: score acting like a cut. I donât know if it is a real thing or not (as in the laser and not the material or warpage or something else), but I would report it.
