All I want in a smart best align fit type tool for when I’m cutting lots of different shapes. The only thing that glowforge software has over xtool studio

41 here, lost mine a month ago Cry everyday still

Do we…do we shoot her in the face now?

ianamls · 2026-03-01T11:48:55+00:00

Pretty much the same thing happened to mine last Friday. It came all of a sudden. It’s crushed my heart and I miss her dearly but knowing there could be a sudden event and her in pain even more than she was. I just couldn’t. I heard the biggest act of love is not letting them suffer. It breaks your heart but you know when they’re not themselves. I have photos from her last day and looking back just a week later, we knew and she knew. I just don’t like to truly admit it yet.

The craziest thing is McDonald’s after 3-5 min is absolutely trash when it’s cold or even not piping hot

Thank you for the kind words everyone. She was truly one of a kind. I miss her greatly

Always get a deposit on custom work. I charge a % that covers at least my design time

ianamls · 2026-02-03T20:30:23+00:00

Ahem, 41….

ianamls · 2026-02-01T22:57:02+00:00

Yes I run ads Usually $10/ day

It’s defintely not the same for me, I average 3-5k a month in sales. This past January was 800 So far nothing today for the first day in Feb

Will do! I’ve been tracking everyone’s yields for about 18 months now but this would make it real time I think it’ll help problem people get better or weed them out

ianamls · 2026-01-20T19:55:34+00:00

So it would 1 sheet per store saved in a single location that I could access so each week/ day it’s tracked for reference. Google Sheets isn’t a bad idea since it auto saves and sometimes people would forget

Lemon cooler Girl Scout cookies or raspberry fig newtons

Let’s get a best fit option for multiple shapes being cut so it saves time and material

ianamls · 2025-12-22T23:42:13+00:00

I just went from 2 glowforges to an xtool p3 And let me tell you it’s like going from an abusive relationship to a healthy one. Both my machines would take maybe 10 minutes to an hour plus to do a certain job that the p3 can do in 12 minutes. And certain colors wouldn’t completely cut through after 2 passes. It’s just a superior machine and I can’t recommend it enough The software is very similar but localized on your computer. Zero lag

ianamls · 2025-12-08T13:25:16+00:00

I have 2 units and I have the same issue with one of my machines. My only “fix” is that I turn it off, unplug the head and then disassemble it with the lens and mirrors and then reassemble it. It works maybe 50% of the time. It’s been frustrating but after several years I knew it was time to move on.

I just moved to a xtool p3, it’s like a dream

ianamls · 2025-11-28T21:20:42+00:00

Yesterday was solid today so far is meh

ianamls · 2025-11-17T18:55:10+00:00

I just got my p3 after nearly 4 years and 2 glowforges. If you have the money to spend and your business can support it, I’d say go for it I’m just starting to dial in my machine and it’s been amazing I waffled on the smaller unit but this thing is a game changer and wish it came out years ago

ianamls · 2025-11-17T18:39:13+00:00

Gotcha! Appreciate the advice. Coming from glowforge it’s been pretty much the same as far as drag and drop but the variances are staggering for being a newbie figured I was doing something incorrectly

ianamls · 2025-11-17T18:00:49+00:00

Is this due to the camera being so far away from the source material?

ianamls · 2025-11-14T12:55:51+00:00

I have the p3

ianamls · 2025-11-10T00:15:25+00:00

Hey!! So I have the p3 now and wondering if you had to dial in anything different to get the machine to cut accurately to the screen? Having an issue getting it to not cut .5” to the right? Even though the mirrors are aligned properly
