Ready to Buy a Glowforge?

There are three models of Glowforges to choose from: Basic, Plus and Pro.

What are the main differences between the three models?

BasicPlusPro
Cutting space19.5” by 11”19.5” by 11”19.5” by infinity (using pass-through)
Power 40 watt40 watt45 watt
Speed –A little faster than BasicA little faster than Plus
Usage – –Longer running time before it needs to cool down

You can read all of the specs, of course, on the Glowforge site, so I won’t rehash everything there. All three perform the same basic tasks – cutting, engraving, and scoring. 

Which one is right for you?

Your choice should be based on your needs and your budget.

  • If you will be using the machine constantly, for a business, and need to make large projects, you may prefer the Pro.
  • On the other hand, if you will only be using the machine for a couple of hours per day, for smaller quantities, and have a smaller budget, then the Basic may meet your needs.

If you would like to test out a Glowforge before purchasing one, but don’t know anyone else who has one, some areas you may be able to find a maker space with access to a Glowforge. Some Joann stores have them, some local stores have them and I’ve even heard of some public libraries having them. 

There are other lasers out there. Make sure you do your due diligence so you know the one you are purchasing is right for you.

What questions do you have about the different Glowforge models? Is there anything holding you back from purchasing one? Let me know what questions you have!

And don’t forget! You can save up to $500 using my link!

Until next time…. bye bye!

Glowforge Arrival
Don’t be surprised at how gigantic the Glowforge is when it arrives! It’s packaged very well. And DO NOT throw away the box! You need to save it in case you ever need to send your machine in for service.
