What happened to all the cool stuff that used to post on Glowforge?

You use to have to sift through all the cool free laser files people posted and GF posted. Now is Just Kids and Small Craft stuff. Not that thats not kool but You know what i mean. Id love to see those days again….

There still lots of cool stuff, but it is kind of hidden under layers of stuff you may not be interested in… there’s a lot!

One suggestion is to check the difficulty level, or if you know a designer you can search for them.

Yes there’s tons of kool stuff on the sight. It’s just we’ve printed just about everything and it seems nothing kool has been posted in a while. If I’m missing it please forward it to me. Lol. I love my GF-Pro just haven’t found anything really kool lately.

Why not describe the type of project you’re looking for? Might help us make a recommendation.

I mean, I have no idea what you think it’s cool. This is sorted by newest and an advanced difficulty level. Have you made all of these?

and these are Intermediates.

Making other peoples creations is cool and all but there comes a day in every makers life where you have to roll up your sleeves and design your own things.

Of course, after you do that, make sure you share here as it will be an inspiration to others.

Thank you all for your recommendations we’ve made just about everything GF offers…premium ect… stuff like the dirigible was the space shuttle awesome more 3-D puzzles stuff like that is fantastic…Ornaments, doll houses, or miniature buildings and stuff has its fans. But as In my original statement I haven’t seen anything really kool posted in a min.. that’s just me personally with my personal opinion. I command everyone for sending stuff that’s awesome thank you all

I’ve been wanting to add a lot of my cooler items but the instructions layout requirements and process is time consuming. Hard to find the time to do it all

Have you tried designing anything yourself? (You might enjoy it once you learn how!)

Not to speak for @simpleservant01 but they’ve posted free designs on the forum in the past. You can see them here:

They’ve been trying to drum up traffic for some time and backing it up by offering files. We’re lucky to have them here advocating for the community.

To get back to the original question though… What kind of projects do you like? What appeals to you? It’s hard to know what to post that you might think is cool without knowing a little bit more about the types of things you’d like to make.
