I am over the moon with excitement as my GF arrived yesterday. Stayed up 'til 4 am tinkering and playing with ‘Tom Servo’ and it’s all I’d hoped it would be. I know it’s tough to be waiting for your own GF and see what the lucky folks with one are doing, but hang in there guys, you won’t be disappointed!
Here are my very first two projects and I think they are pretty cool considering I’ve never touched a laser in my life. The first is a combo of a cut, score and engrave on PF walnut. The second is a greyscale JPG engrave on PF maple. Getting the tape smutz off this one was a challenge so I just took a brush to it. Think I got it all.
Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of lasers! Great jump into the deep end of fun. So happy for you. thanks for sticking it out. Hope everything else goes swimmingly!
Fantastic! I assume you had some graphic files just ready and waiting to be laser cut? What format were they? I like the sharp detail in your images. I want to be ready, too. I’m working with Gimp and Inkscape, but often I lose a lot of detail when I convert to vector. I haven’t yet read up on the nuts and bolts of designing for the GF so maybe i just need to do my homework, but any pointers you can offer would be appreciated.
Thank you so much Scott. This is really helpful. As I’m sure others are, I’m confused why some people further down the list have received theirs before others who ordered earlier. We’ve all been waiting so long, I almost forgot what I’ve ordered!
