Decided to see what's up with Glowforge. Delayed again (now Q2-Q3 2017?) but I just read a Make magazine piece from end of December saying they got a test unit and it's worth the wait. Or will be.

The dude does legit sound like he picked up on and set out to fix all the problems with current machines that makes them a pain in the rear end for people who are mainly interested in actually MAKING poo poo instead of teaching yourself to become a low level laser settings janitor & expert on crazy toolchains and fiddly poo poo.

I had kinda lost the hype on Glowforge, but Tested did a vid on a pre-release unit that kind of has me excited again: https://youtu.be/9O2a8CSzOI4
If they get all the camera stuff working right, it should be pretty cool.
