Reviews for This ModelVerified Owner

Joel Bischoff• Oct 2025

✓What I Love

Simplicity of bringing in an image or SVG and cutting within a few steps

→What Could Be Better

My Kickstarter machine is old and I've had to replace parts. It also sometimes doesn't want to start up from powered off due to the door sensor. It has its quirks.

Machine: Glowforge Pro

✓What I Love

I’m not sure if it’s the pro but it’s their largest machine with the pass through, (which I never figured out how to use). I think the best things about the laser is the…the bed is removable, I like that the head with is removable too. I guess that it has a camera. I hardly use it any more I use my Rabbit (rebranded Chinese laser with ruida controller much more).

→What Could Be Better

It’s small and the software is subscription based and doesn’t work very well. I also find it frustrating to dial in power and focus because it’s all relative to their settings. It’s not just mm/sec etc.

✓What I Love

It is very simple to learn and use. Doesn't require focusing or complicated calculations to use.

→What Could Be Better

The things that make the Glowforge a good starter machine (except for the price!) are the things that quickly become frustrating. The proprietary software allows for little customization and the machine is, in effect, just too simple. I can't go more than a few jobs before I have to do a cleaning of the Glowforge. All jobs really have to be masked. Speed is bad.

Machine: Glowforge Plus

✓What I Love

Nothing, it’s broken. I guess I liked the software before they pay gated a lot of features

→What Could Be Better

When it broke, supports only option was for me to mail it back and I could buy a refurbished unit for $2500… I ended up not doing that and just holding onto the broken laser for 2.5years
