If you'd like to talk more about the Glowforge, please reach out to me at [email protected] - I built my whole business around this machine. I'd also be happy to do a live demo over Zoom and send you some samples if you'd like (you can even design the samples). Or, we can just chat. Asking questions in the comments works, too :)

I'm also building a Glowforge for Beginners course: https://glowforgeforbeginners.com
The course won't be finished for a few months. Although, I'm offering early access (super-discounted) to the course to help kickstart this thing! I hope that you'll consider joining.
