With it, I’ve created laser-etched LED lights, birch wood tool caddies, and even a three-tier box for my Nespresso sleeves. Even better, what would take a 3D printer hours to do takes just minutes in the Glowforge. The build quality, menu system and bundled custom version of Cura (a 3D slicing software) are all excellent. The software is all cloud-based, which adds a layer of complication (you need internet service to use it), but the ability to create amazing gifts and more from simple 0.125-inch or 0.25-inch cheap plywood is pretty empowering.
