Glowforge don’t care
Garbage and false advertising for a customer to want to get this and the customer service for glowforge could care less,constant problems and they refuse to help. Instead give you gift cards for more material and then wait until your warranty is up to tell you there’s nothing that can do even tho they have record of the attempt to get a replacement or refund.

Glowforge Aura Excellent for Beginners
My first laser engraver and cutter! It gets the job done and excellent for beginners. Instructions to set up were easy and understandable. It does run off of WIFI so if you're internet goes out that's the only thing. You can't use it if your internet is out. It uses a web browser software similar to the Cricut. I do like the automatic settings it has for their own material you can buy. They are not cheap though so I have used basswood sheets from Amazon. You just have to create your own cut and engrave settings. It's trial and error like most things. Overall again it's a really good beginner laser engraver and cutter.

A Printer that offers Fun!
This printer has been satisfying to use so far. I have been able to work with personal wood designs such as making keychains and other fun DIY projects. Very much portable and easy to use with instructions and help available throughout the internet. I must say that this model prints slower than the other advance models.

Works great. Have to clean rails and apply oil regularly so it doesn’t jump.

Glowforge aura not as expected
I have been a long time Cricut user but kept wanting a glowforge. After seeing a more affordable option, I was excited to make my purchase. It’s great that you can cut many options but you are limited to only certain colors of acrylic. The fact that it takes 3 1/2 hours to cut three small words on 1/8 cast acrylic is crazy. Wish it was better. I guess I should’ve saved up for the more expensive models.
