Who's scheduled for delivery today?

[joe]

Yes!

Stormageddon Is HERE!

After waiting so long, it has finally arrived. My delivery window was from 3:45 to 5:45 ( I decided to pay the extra $8 for a 2 hour window). My wife and I left work early to be here to sign for it. First hour passed quickly. I had to shoo the cat from the Glowforge’s new home. [image] My wife finally manged to get our daughter down for a nap, and then she woke up 5 minutes later. I went in and tried to get her to sleep again. That’s when the Glowforge arrived. (~5:00pm) My wife started mak…

Time for an Escutcheons

I guess I’m supposed to make an Escutcheons (I’m pretty sure I can’t pronounce this in real life). Here it is! [image] So, I screwed up the cut of the button. I made the stroke too thick in the SVG. So, back to inkscape, made a circle, and cut it again. Huzzah for Optical Alignment! The other thing I wanted to see was how the button would look made from extruded acrylic. I liked the look of the Proofgrade cast acrylic better. [image] Here it is in place. [image] And Glowing; it was hard …

Fantastic! Happy for you!

David, say goodbye to the open clean bench tops you have there. A catalyst for entropy is about to enter your world.

I would suspect you straightened up just for the photo if it weren’t for the reflection on the floor.
I really enjoy pics of the areas we build around ourselves to accommodate our affliction.

@mad_macs

Fantastic! Happy for you!

Thanks! Except… yeah… the MF driver (that’s Might Fine, BTW) with the supply truck actually didn’t move in time so UPS is coming back later.

[PFI-Guy]

AAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!! Call the tow truck!

[mad_macs]

Lazy!

@PFI-Guy

AAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!! Call the tow truck!

It’s okay… UPS guy came back about an hour later while I was at lunch. Safely in the minivan now!

[SunnyStarbucks]

Thank you for this!

I am gathering information on the specs/classification/etc… so I can show CBSA.

[dan_berry]

If any of the actual Production recipients have a copy of the label that includes the FCC ID on it, that would be a key piece of information CBSA would want to know. Then look up and print that certificate.

[SunnyStarbucks]

YES! I already email support for more info. Maybe they will give me something better!

Thanks @dan_berry

[rpegg]

Yeah, remember that label was from a pre-release unit.

[Jamie]

I feel about this bad… II… as you’re doing all the work that I’ll just be copying. Seriously though, it is appreciated, and by a lot more than just me I’m sure.

[SunnyStarbucks]

I don’t mind! Taking one for our Canadian Glowforgers!

Plus I’m super excited that I will get to play with it soon.

[marmak3261]

not to pester you or anything but what about your Glowforge?

[cynd11]

I’ve been wondering the same! Still, I suppose folks have a right to a little privacy–it’s not easy to be in the glaring spotlight of GF forums–haha!

[mad_macs]

I’d happily offer to be in the spotlight.

Well, I have been having a ball. I had more to learn than I thought. I had figured I had CorelDraw figured out, but I had some growing pains. I have been playing all weekend and will be posting some things that I have made in a few minutes. One thing that I have learned is that you PRU guys and gals are super smart. I don’t see how you made so many great things, shared them on the forum, wrote up instructions on how to make the cool projects and still worked. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

I had a couple of hick ups when I first powered on my GF. Power seemed too high but support fixed it quickly. Rulers cut way to dark with lots of flash back and the engrave did not go through the masking, but it is all great now. Thank you for asking about me.

[cynd11]

@davidgal2

and still worked

I’ll tell you how I did it–I didn’t work! (Retired.)

Great to hear you are having fun!

[marmak3261]

Oh goodie! Looking forward to this.

[cmreeder]

I will just put this here.
