Ah, gently caress it, I broke down and pre-ordered a Glowforge. Here's a $100 off referral link for some other poor sucker like me: http://glowforge.com/referred/?kid=c1JS0w

So has anyone here who ordered a Glowforge received one yet? The only place I've seen actual users discussing them is on Glowforge's forums. I'd be interested in some reviews from less biased sources.

Ordered mine Sept 2015, just got it several days ago. I’ve printed a few things on their Proofgrade hardwood with no problems. It seems to be what they promised. I’d be up for questions on it. It’s my first C&C, my other 3D printer is a Form 2. I also have a NextEngine 3D scanner. Mostly I dink around making Gaming stuff like D&D minis and/or Wargaming terrain with them.

Does it work well with non-proofgrade materials? Is their web-based software intuitive and reliable? Have you experienced any slowdowns or accessibility issues? How about the laser cooling system? Does it work well continuously, or does it have to stop frequently to cool down?

Why are Glowforge owners so drat cagey when it comes to sharing details?
