I have just watched an awesome video from Tested, they covered what in my eyes is the most simple Laser printer ever. Gone are having to have any programming skills, with this it has a camera that you look at via a tablet, or an I devise, line it up to the start point, which can be a hand drawn line on the material, or if you upload your design into their interface ( Google cloud based, and is free for the life of the product ) you drag and drop the outlined image over the live picture view of the material, and then press go, yes it is as simple as that, I was absolutely blown away by the whole thing.


This has so many uses, like, masking up your case window, draw, or trace on an image from anywhere, place it on the bed, panel and all, line it up with the camera, and off you go, 10 minutes later an etched window . I only wish I had $2000 available I'd have one ordered now.

This is amazing!! I want so much!

This is the laser cutter we used to have

40w H2O laser which meant pump, cooler, tank, filters, air pumps, extractor and not to mention the PHD you needed in engineering for using the CNC software..

This Glowforge has just redefined the industry and made it soooo much more simple, I must have one.

They have indeed mate, I love their idea for the Pro model where the 2 ends are open and you can cut some, and then just push it through, it basically gives you unlimited length. I only wish I had the cash to get in early on this one, but sadly ( Oh and I've tried ) my funds are zero for this one, Bloody Christmas, Bah Bloody Humbug.....
