Save $500 of Glowforge here glowforge.com/... UPDATE: DO NOT LEAVE THE MACHINE UNATTENDED! PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Follow me on Instagram @SamCanDoo What would you make??? Ask me anything below!
Awe dang. I was so going to talk smack on the referral code part, and then you broke it down and showed how mush you love it. Thank you for taking the time to do the video and for the honesty.
First let me say...I love love LOOOOOVE your spirit! I so wish we were friends :-)This video was hilarious as well as informative...Thanks so much for sharing this info, I've been on the fence about "do i want to invest so much money"...but i guess you have to spend $$$ to make $$$. One question with regard to ventilation, in your video it doesn't look like you have it going out the window. Did you purchase that "ventilation" box they offer on the GF site (not sure of the official name for it)? If so, how do you like it and is it worth the $$$?
Your video was the first video I saw about the Glowforge! You sparked my interest, and after much debate and research, I pulled the plug and bought one! I used your referral link since you were the first. Thanks for sharing!
Love this video! Im starting my own youtube journey and im still a little camera shy but watching you made me feel like i could do it cause you funny girl and informative and thats what im aiming for you go girl and also thanks for the info❤️
Got my Pro. Having a blast. I found out that all the stuff I’ve learned from doing machine embroidery artwork and vinyl cutting artwork also applies to the glowforge artwork. Major head start. My only limit now is my imagination and finding my niche.👍
Omg! Yes! Thanks for the honesty! And the giggles! We have been looking in to the glowforge for quite some time now to add to all of our business machines for making, and love all the options!
Sam, I loved your video and used your discount to buy my Glowforge Plus! Thank you, I was on the fence for so long but really wanted one. Thanks for the discount!
Thank you so much for this video! AND the referral link!! Hahahah. I’ve been on the fence for a couple months now with the cost, the difficulty of a project, etc, etc, excuses, excuses. But your info and energy has me all excited and confident to just order it and start making moves to make that money! Haha. Thank you so much again! And I shall follow you on IG :)
thank you for this!! been considering this purchase for months! glad to know you don't need crazy knowledge to use! definitely going to use your referral code!
Just to be clear to anyone taking this review seriously. Do not leave a laser cutter/printer alone! Around the 6:10 mark, she talks about leaving the machine alone. I don't care how safe you feel with a machine like this fires do start and there are many other reviewers that attest to that using glowforge. This really isn't a toy... It's an awesome tool, but not something to take lightly. Be safe don't hurt or kill yourself or others.
Hey , I jus found your channel and I love your vibe. I've been researching from months and watching a ton of videos. If I buy one I will use your code!!
Will definitely use you as a referral, will be buying the Pro pretty soon. Saving my funds and should be ready in about 2 months. Awesome video, thanks.
New subscriber 😀 love love love your enthusiasm, you seem so much fun and thanks for all the info about the glowforge! Off to see if they ship to the UK
OMG do I love you. You're so fun to watch! You've convinced me to get myself a Pro...and to subscribe to your channel. Idc if you sell heaters (I live in south Louisiana) I'd watch you read a phone book lol You being a 'nerd' and gorgeous makes you even cooler! You are now my new bff in my head lololol thanks so much for the vid!
Loved your video! I’ve been contemplating on getting a glowforge possibly the pro. I do have a concern as a mom ..,I live in an apt. and the glowforge would be placed in an open area only with the air filter. Do you know if it would still give off harmful fumes. Biggest concern holding me back.
I live in a 3,000 sqft house and I put my Glowforge upstairs vented out of a window, I do not have the filter you can buy separately, I can smell the Glowforge from downstairs and I close the office door and the door to the upstairs. I don’t allow my 5 year old upstairs while I’m printing and I mostly print when he isn’t home. It’s also fairly loud
How do you feel about the software being internet based ?? I just can't bring myself to buy one.. what happens if they go out of business you have no way of using the machine. I want one but I just can't do it :(
Caroline Gunzburg I don’t mind it. I don’t see that happening. Also I just did an app tour also to show how it works. But I understand your concern. I prefer how easy this is to other machines. But I see the risk.
thank you for the information. I have seen other videos who also offer the referral program. I love your personality and will use your referral if I decide to buy. I have a phone call with Glowforge scheduled for the end of the week. Nervous about the money and not be able to make it back. I want to buy a house and need a side hustle to save money quick enough to buy it. I love crafting and need to step it up a notch. I don't do Instagram, but hope I can follow you through RU-vid. (I know, I'm old and not with it! LOL)
OMGeeeee Girl you are too funny and honest. Hmmm where’s your link. Ok sorry haven’t looked but I’ll be stalking you because I think I want a GLOWFORGE!!
Thanks for posting, this was super helpful for me! I wanted something that could help me advance in my design side-gig, and I also thought to myself "Omg, I could make ANYTHING!" 😂 but you honestly had me cracking up the whole time I watched this, you're so funny and I admire your honesty!
When people discover sweet spot settings for new materials, do they provide a system for sharing the info with the cloud based app, to make it easy for other users to refer to? Also, do you know if they ever have any plans to allow the machine to be operated in standalone mode so you’re not required to have an internet connection just to use it? $2000-$4000 seems a bit of a gamble on a machine that could end up completely useless if the company ever goes under and the cloud service disappears. Would also be nice to have a working laser cutter if society goes belly up some day. ;)
The community forums are great for sharing insider tips!!! I am not too worried about the company. I have met with them and they are doing amazing things. Always growing!
Great video. I love your excitement about the product. I am thinking of getting this item. My main focus will be wedding invitations which take a long time to set up and print on a Cricut. You mention SVG files which is exactly what I was thinking. This machine does not print so I will need to print elsewhere and then cut a number laid out in one go. You did not mention perspex, do you know if they etch /engrave well?
Hey Sam. The idea with the baby feet is pretty nice. How did you manage to get this on their? Did you paint the baby‘s feet with black color, put it on a paper and scanned it?
The Glowforge is great... when it works. If yours breaks after the year it is $500 to ship it and $1000+ depending to fix it. This is a machine that’s already super expensive. Buy this if you have loads of spare cash. I like mine, but I would have gone with a different brand.
Im on the fence. Been going back to the GF site at least once a day nervous about hitting the purchase button. What would you recommend as an alternative that is around the same price? Did you get one? Regrets?
Oh shit that is awful I havent heard of that happening. That is not cool!!! I am so so sorry that happened. I can only imagine the struggle of shipping that beast....
If im new to the laser printer world would you recommend the basic or plus.......how much different are they ...IM sure you get this question all the time?
Thank you so much for sharing im looking at buying one. How thick can materials be to print in the basic model. I would love a pro but its just a bit to expensive for me
Jessica Kate no prob. You can have them be as thick as 1.5 inches but you really can only cut as deep as under half an inch. But you can do layered projects where you stack wood and glue then together works great. My code saves you for the basic as well! I think it’s 100 off basic. 250 of the plus!!!!
They can be 1 1/2" but it can cut only about .3 inches to .5 inches. Thats pushing it. Its great for doing layered projects. but if you need a deep cutting instrument you probably need a c&c maching. Bigger investment. this works great for me though
You sold me your energy is everything! Definitely using your code just decided today we will get the pro. Also can we correspond because I’m nervous for the same reasons you were I want it to be simple enough to use but complex enough to do some really cool stuff. Why did you say that it won’t save time if you already have a shop?
Would you ever recommend buying the Glowforge for a primary source of income or is this machine more for a hobbyist? Recently lost my business do to covid and I'm hoping to invest my money into something else.
i was looking to start a small business and i want to know if glowforge is equipped to run for 24/7, beause am going to make so many things and is it necessary to buy any filter
The basic is not set up for all day jobs, the pro is set up with a cooling feature, but to be honest, it may still need some cool down time, also it runs 10x faster than the basic
I have a dumb question I’m new to the corporate community forum and I was looking at the free designs but I cannot figure out how to download them it’s probably obvious
you load up engraving before you go to sleep? Is it running that slow? The price paid can get larger commercial system with higher powered system especially for commercial use.
Hello, I would like to purchase a glowforge, but I’m not sure if I can do what I really want it for. Do you know and or have you ever created an acrylic invitation with the glowforge?
I somehow came across this video not even interested in the topic but I think this video is SO funny like the poor camera work and everything is sending me thank you I will be watching many more
Hi Sam! I am buying my glowforge next week, but I wanted to look at your instagram and follow you. Did you change the name or closed it? It shows private 0 followers and 12 post, somehow that does not seem right. Anyway, I can't wait to get it and obviously using your code!! Woohooo!!!
girl, love this video. i keep going to the glowforge site and staring it. i am scared to take the plunge. do you think i would be able to make enough items that i could at least, eventually, earn back the hefty price tag?
Sam! I love your energy! I am an educator, and I really really really... want a little more “flexibility” 😅. I want to order one SO bad... soooo nervous, the pro is calling my name but the “what if’s?” Are weighing on me. Help!
Love your video! But.... my Glowforge Pro lid is already falling apart from the poor design flaw of the glass, plastic parts & hinge hardware are all glued together. Company want me to pay $200 to ship it back to them for the repairs or I would have to fix it myself.
Hey. I really liked your video. I am super interested in purchasing one. Is there anyway I can contact you. I have some questions and would love your referral!
I do love your energy & enthusiasm! I do have to say the constant moving around was extremely distracting & made it frustrating to watch this to the end. You made some great observations. I just feel the video may have been more effective with less constant movement of the camera.
Sam can-do I ordered my glow Forge using your code I would like to see how you could get back to me I have several questions asked on several concerns thanks
:-) I am definitely still learning that one as well. I get frustrated a lot of times when things don't come out the way I picture them in my head, but when they come out great I'm very proud. :-)
Hey. Cool video. Just one thing..it’s a little hard to focus on what you’re saying because of the loud background music.. it was making me sweat trying to focus and hear all the noise lol 😳
Hayes••Gaming TV sure thing! Thanks for sharing constructively! I’ve changed my video style a lot since then! Check them out! It’s a lot more steady cam and quieter music!
So you had it for a year, How often are you using it? I really want one but the price to make sense want to spread it out on a few years but the 6 months warranty on such an expensive product is such a big red flag :S as well as the USD to CAD current exchange rate hehe. Like your bubbly personality pretty sure we would get along haha :)
Sam, used your referal code so looking for a spot of advice :) with the GlowForge there is a Teal Blue tube with Install and Remove on it. whats that for? My guess is for changing out laser parts, but wasnt sure! Help appreciated.
