The GF team has the credentials to follow through, so yes I have high hopes and I’m still onboard.Įdit: I just watched the FS intro video on their fifth gen hobby laser and I’m even more convinced they’re the Xiaomi for hobbyists. I’m hoping becomes the Steve Jobs for makers… So far we’ve seen the charisma and vision… Just waiting on the execution. They appear to me to be the Xiaomi for makers. So far I’ve neither heard about or seen evidence of any of those things from FS (or any other company for that matter).Yes FS actually have physical lasers you can buy but they havent demonstrated any strategy or vision that has me interested in them… And that video did nothing to help… Ragtime? Seriously? There are only 292 views on their video for a big reason. I’d also want to see a better strategy for the home user than what GF has laid out. I’m currently a loyal GF customer and will continue to be until another company comes along and demonstrates to me they have a superior product that provides a better value. GF visited their booth or a couple of potential customers visited the GF booth and mentioned what they saw at the FS booth. A couple of reps probably visited the Glowforge booth and mentioned they were working on something similar. I don’t really understand the reason to post this topic? I’m guessing all this info goes back to SF maker faire.

It uses a “Beaglebone” hobbyist control board that can be removed, repurposed, and replaced.They’ve changed the extruded rails to fix some problems with alignment and precision on the Hobby Laser. ![]()
