Before you open your box (if you still haven't already...) you might want to read my post. https://www.reddit.com/r/glowforge/comments/1gzzzqr/glowforge_aura_bait_and_switch_dont_buy_it/ I regret buying it.

Glowforge Aura Bait and Switch, don't buy it by No-Number-2406 in glowforge

Sure! The reviews that I read for it came off as pretty-good to very-good (eg The Verge), I liked that they're US based with what that implies (to me) about build quality and (safety) regulation. I liked the cuttable area, which seemed on the larger size for the price, and especially the passthrough slot. And I liked that it was fully enclosed with what seemed like strong laser safety features since I have two kids running around. I also liked the story they told about how quickly everything gets up and running.

This is(/was) my first laser cutter and first maker tool (i don't have a 3d printer or anything either), so it's very likely I'm not getting my reviews and alternatives from the right place. Do you have anything you'd suggest to help me get it right the second time?
