Thank you so much for your video. I went to TH-cam and search for videos comparing these two machines, honestly I like yours, the best so far since you went into a little bit more detail than some of the other crafters. I’m going to follow your channel now, after watching this video! I just started my business last year and I’ve been trying to decide between these two machines.
Hi!! No, the spark does not cut mirror acrylic due to the diode laser. I’m not 100% about the glitter acrylics. Check out Houston Acrylics they have a diode laser tested section that works with Glowforge Aura and Spark
You can not! It has a diode laser. The diode laser has some limited capabilities but a lot of people cut wood and paint it white! I know its not a solution for clear, but just a suggestion that could be an option for your plans!
It’s a difficult decision! Great job!! 🙌🏾
It definitely is, but both are great! ❤❤

Thank you!!! 😍😍 Also congrats on your business!
I would 💯 get the Aura, because of the feeder!
I love having that option as well!
Thanks for the comparison. I saw the spark on-line, but after seeing your video, I think the Aura might be a better fit for me.
Thank you for watching! I’m so glad the video was helpful! 😍
finally one that can fit in my NYC apartment lol
Which machine would you get?!?!
I love your video!
If I would like to engrave pelcil, can I use the spark?
Yes! I engraved pencils and created a pencil jog with this machine. Works perfectly!
*a pencil jig
I have the spark I would like to know if I can use any Glitter or mirror acrylic?

Can you engrave stainless steel with the Aura like tumblers?
Hii, no, the tray is narrow so it can’t engrave cups or tumblers!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to get the aura
😍😍🤗🤗 i’m excited for you!
How much output power of each and where to find that info? Can’t find it on their website
Here is the info for the craft lasers! glowforge.com/b/craft
The pro lasers have a different link. Let me know if this helps!

Excellent video!
Thanks so much!!!
What size acrylic does the spark use?
The spark can fit the 12x12 sheets in it but it won’t cut the full sheet. The max cutting area is 8.5 x 11!
Do anyone know if you can cut glass on the aura???
You can not! It has a diode laser. The diode laser has some limited capabilities but a lot of people cut wood and paint it white! I know its not a solution for clear, but just a suggestion that could be an option for your plans!
