    Showed this to my husband and he loved it. little does he know he's getting for his birthday in December. He really hasn't stopped talking about how cool it would be.
    I really think he will like the Aura.

    I cannot wait for this series! I’ve been too intimidated to use my Glowforge, but I know any tutorial you do will be a perfect place to start!

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I think any tutorial we do for the Aura would work for the Pro or Plus as well! I cut most everything I did for this video on BOTH to compare it, and they both did great. :)

    I love that you buy it yourself. Others claim they receive it free but they give their honest review on it. I would love to get one. On the cons I know if we pay less we can’t expect it to preform like the 5,000 one. I’m looking forward to future videos.

    I've been saving for the pro and realized (literally two days ago) that there's no convenient way to fit it into my craft room/library (my house is super small). The Aura is tempting, but I'm concerned about it being a diode laser and not doing everything I want it to do (also concerned that as of right now they haven't released any tech as specs for it on their site). Thanks Jennifer and Greg for the awesome video (and for paying for your own stuff so I can always trust your reviews!).

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Makes sense! Keep watching for the tech specs ... I have some, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Launches are very detail heavy and it's easy to forget or overlook things. I know I've been struggling, and all I'm doing is talking about it, not actually manufacturing it!

    Do you have to use Glowforge materials? Can you cut/engrave material you can buy from Amazon or wherever.

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, you do not have to use their materials. The materials just need to be "laser-safe" or "laser-compatible" and 3mm (or less) if you want to cut them (unless it's like foam or something).

    I know with some Diode lasers you can colour transparent glass with a marker or paint in order to allow the laser to engrave it and then wash off the left over marker/pen once done. Do you think this method would work with the aura? I'm interested in a laser to engrave glass ornaments. Also wonder if this same method would work with clear acrylic.

      Yes, it is called an interface layer when using a diode laser. Plenty of youtube videos on how to do it. You can use Tempura paint as an interface layer to engrave glass.

      @@Firstleaker thank you! Yes I've been looking up loads of videos, just wasn't sure if it was possible or safe to do with the Aura laser in particular.

    There was no mention of engraving on glass? Have you tried that yet? I have a Pro but am having problems with it engraving double. I have replaced the main belt, one side belt and the white ribbon and no luck yet. I have had mine for about 4 years and am wondering how long you have been using yours and if you have had any similar issues?

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have not tried that yet. But we will. :)
      We've had ours for I think five years now. I'm guessing, but that seems about right. We did have to replace the main belt, but only because it was accidentally installed wrong after cleaning. Otherwise, no issues.

  • @kathypariso6102
    @kathypariso6102 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, so many questions about cutting capabilities. Does it “burn” or “singe” a clothesline rope bowl? Can it etch glazed tiles? Will you show us fabric cutting? What about stiff pieces (less than 3mm) of polyester stabilizer? How about 2mm or 3mm craft foam? Can it cut stiff plastic jars (opaque)? Can it cut aluminum soda and beer cans? What about round objects like rolling pins? Can it etch cured epoxy? These are just for starters, as I am sure there will be more.
    I am thinking about recycling projects that could perhaps be sold…nothing like keeping trash out of landfills, although I get “no clear glass or acrylic”.

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure about multiple layers of crepe paper! I'm adding it to my list of things to test. And YES, you can use materials not purchased by Glowforge -- look for "laser safe" and "laser compatible" materials.
