My view is that it's neat, but no way worth their expected $50 full price tag as it stands now, and is even a stretch at the $14.99 current fee for us earlier owners. It's not necessary at all to use your GF, but does make sever...

    I had great luck with this for over a year. Suddenly, my Glowforge won't cut it anymore, and I can't seem to find it at Lowe's. I wish some other suppliers of this material would materialize! The Glowforge forums tell me this is what comes with using dirt cheap materials, but I'd happily pay more for a substrate I could depend on.

    Glowforge is looking sketchy by creating this fast lane deal on premium. It’s a gimmick to make more money. That’s what it is. Cuz once their database offers premium access to premium users, the basic users are loosing data processing power. It’s hard to believe that the company would invest in a better database just to provide better processing to only a fraction of their users (premium), and therefore not affecting the speed from non premium users.

    • @TheAtlantaMaker
      @TheAtlantaMaker 2 года назад

      I’ve just been using 2P-10 which is essentially super glue for wood. I’ve bought some 3M rolls to try that (putting it on before lasering so it’s peel and stick after cutting) but I haven’t tried that yet. I’m mostly switched to the slightly thinner Black/White board from Lowes now. It’s gone up a bit too and was about $10ish bucks a sheet a few days ago when I bought another batch.

  • @meritakrosi2578
    @meritakrosi2578 2 года назад

    Thank you for this video. I was desperate because I couldn't understand why my engravings were so messed up. I would like to engrave 8mm acrylic to bring out letters on 5mm. Right now I'm focusing on the 8mm sheet and engraving by going over the area 5 times at high speed. The result is very bad. Would defocusing work? Is it necessary to pass several times ? Thank you for your answer :)

    • @TheAtlantaMaker
      @TheAtlantaMaker 2 года назад

      Not sure I understand the 8mm vs 5mm thing, but if it's a rough or wavy engraving, defocusing should help smooth it out.
