My Glowforge is here. It's the Pro version, upgraded laser tube, faster cutting, and passthough slot.
It's much prettier than the K40 at the space. Much easier to use too.
I also had it up and running in 30 mins, and doing my first cut/engrave. Thats about 1 month faster than it took to get my K40 going :) (I didn't have quite as much time then)
But the K40 is $400, and a Glowforge Pro is $5995.
I'm away all this weekend, so I'll bring it for a show & tell on Tuesday night.
I pre-ordered it 2 years and 18 days ago :) Right after the Kickstarter ended.
But if you order one now, they will deliver by end of Nov (realistically - probably end of year).
Impressed with it with the little I've done so far. No crazy Chinese software to learn/replace.
