No - the Pre-Release units are also going to people who signed up for Beta Testing. (Dan explained it a while back.)

The Crowdfunded units will be Production Models.

Not exactly. Dan made an announcement last month in which he stated that pre-release units would be sent out to people that signed up for beta tests at the end of November. This is essentially the final round of beta tests, but these would be the people’s final unit assuming that nothing bad happened. Then comes the December mass-release to all people who ordered before the 10/25/15 deadline. And “Final” release would be the ones that go out by end of March.

Awesome news @dan. Are the shipments going to include the air filters or are those delayed till some point next year? Can’t wait to start playing with my GF once it arrives.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just so I don’t get my hopes up… The only real news is that Glowforge is working with Flex, and we will find out about shipping in a week. This can still miss shipping deadlines, right?

Technically correct, but the finished product is so close that any slippage won’t be in 6 month chunks!

At least there is confirmation about the pre-release units shipping. As I understand it, there are some customers that are going to get multiple units. I wonder it it’s like a review screening of a book or movie. I would guess that the embargo on the spread of information will be removed. Perhaps like review copies.

No, I won’t be getting one in the next week or so. I do expect to see confirmation that the product meets or exceeds expectations from others; or I may just learn that some of the initially marketed capabilities are still a work in progress.
