A thread to share how to salvage a nonfunctional Glowforge. The machine didn’t function from new. Left “Y” axis motor was dead which caused erratic, nonsensical motion. Company had no interest in problem solving or having the machine returned for forensic analyst.

GF people must be friends with Inventables somehow - they drop their name a lot when talking about where to get materials to cut. Looking forward to adding the Glowforge to my tool collection along with my X-Carve!

Hello everyone, My office is in the market for a small laser cutter for model-making. We typically use materials such as chipboard, artboard, and Bristol board. We are looking for something in the $1,000 range and that works well with dwg. file formatting. Lastly, a preferable bed size would be...

Apr 28, 2023 · I have a friend that has a Glowforge and she sent me the SVG that she used to print one but it seems to get lost in translation when I open it ...
Hi! I’m super new to designing and laser cutting/engraving. I am trying to engrave a Grateful Dead Steal your Face logo using my Xtool D1 Pro. I have an SVG file that I am trying to use but I am having a hard time getting it to engrave in certain spots on the design… This is what I’m trying to do… I can only figure out how to make an outline with my SVG file. So for example, the eyes, and area around the teeth are not engraving and the preview looks like this… I have a friend that has a...
