It was great hanging with you at Maker Faire, and I’m so happy you have your Glowforge - and are doing such cool things with it!
Oh my goodness! Can’t tell you how awesome it is to have another GF in the wild! Especially with it being in Utah! I’m so glad that it came safely. It drives my Wife crazy but I’m always wanting to go to the Library, especially with the kids. We have tons of books at home. I was there all the time growing up, and want my kids to love the Library as well. I really really love the keychain!
This is great.
Unrelated, I’ve only just realized the wonderful potential for abuse this whole thing opens up. I kind of wish my brother would buy one, so I can send ridiculous things to his glowforge under the guise of a keychain.
Oh, the wonderful-terrible things I would send.
- Congrats on receiving your Glowforge!
- Looks like a nice setup for the vent using a blast gate
- What a great idea to challenge the students and having a little surprise for them if you didn’t hold up your end of the bargain.
- I am blown away by these stories of guests printing…so wild!
Ah Im really excited for you! It was great getting to meet you at maker faire, now you can be the maker! Cant wait to see what else you come up with! Congrats!
I love Harry Potter! Awesome print of the keychain! I’m making my Mom and Hubby read/watch the whole series before we head to Harry Potter World in Universal Orlando in October! They have a month and 2 weeks - lol
Wonderful! Fun for all.
Thank you everyone! It feels like forever ago we were at Maker Faire meeting all of you nice people (and @Snowjax was making the biggest impulse buy on record after seeing all the Forges in action, ha ha).
And yes, @klipper would be one to send me interesting surprises to be forged…I’m sure I’ll get some entertaining prints in the near future. The guest user feature really is neat if you haven’t tried it out yet.
Best impulse buy EVER! Happy I get to use @mspricethelibrarian’s while I wait patiently for mine to arrive!
It’s beautiful!
Truth! Eliminating the technical hurdles of using a laser is the strength of this innovative machine. My purchase was also impulsive, feeling ‘bucks up’, and looking to add to my shop’s abilities - it was serendipitous for me too bump into the glowforge at just the right time.
The best way to learn to appreciate Utah libraries is to move out of state! Even the online book collection is bigger in Utah than the collection of books for the entire state of Georgia. What makes it even better is that many libraries are starting maker space in them, like North Logan’s library.
Cheers to library love!
Thanks for the Utah library love! Salt Lake County does out of area cards so you can use their Overdrive system if you’re missing it…and I’ve heard it’s even better than the statewide one!
Yes they do! I’m very thankful for that, as it keeps my need for sci-fi/fantasy under control if you didn’t see this thread, I bring up exactly that point around 107.
The happy Librarian is being kind enough to let us all use her machine. I think I have made more things since she got it than she has
Very nice! I need to hit the CostPlus World Market for some utensils…I can see it now!
Really nice!!
Why not make the utensils too?
