Searched hadn`t seem to be mentioned before:

Glowforge – the 3D Laser Printer | The Affordable Desktop Laser Cutter Engraver

40W CO2 cutter hyped as a 3D printer, ahem, the GUI looks nice but kind of struggling to see what cloud based crunching is needed for 2D cad...

The fume extraction is glossed over, hey we even do a model with air filters,not conv inced thats the best way with some materials.

Tube cooling, er, none visible, guessing its got a recirculator and rad from a P.C. liquid cooler, but with the cutting operations in same cab seems like quite a lot of heat.

Air assist, don`t need no stinking air assist apparently.

Is the optical focussing sytstem to track uneven surfaces practical? It sounds good and as if it should be out of AF phone cam parts but a lot of Kickstarter tyoe things thrive on the sound like they shoudl be possible.

Not about to purchase one of these but am I just being too cynical?

Thanks
Adam
