Awe dang. I was so going to talk smack on the referral code part, and then you broke it down and showed how mush you love it. Thank you for taking the time to do the video and for the honesty.
thank you for this!! been considering this purchase for months! glad to know you don't need crazy knowledge to use! definitely going to use your referral code!
Thank you so much for this video! AND the referral link!! Hahahah. I’ve been on the fence for a couple months now with the cost, the difficulty of a project, etc, etc, excuses, excuses. But your info and energy has me all excited and confident to just order it and start making moves to make that money! Haha.
Thank you so much again! And I shall follow you on IG :)
I love this video. Thank you for answering all my questions! I realllly want one.
Sam, I loved your video and used your discount to buy my Glowforge Plus! Thank you, I was on the fence for so long but really wanted one. Thanks for the discount!
New subscriber 😀 love love love your enthusiasm, you seem so much fun and thanks for all the info about the glowforge! Off to see if they ship to the UK
Love this video! Im starting my own youtube journey and im still a little camera shy but watching you made me feel like i could do it cause you funny girl and informative and thats what im aiming for you go girl and also thanks for the info❤️
That’s amazing!!!! Do it. It took two years for something of mine to catch on! You can do it
I LOVE MY GLOWFORGE PLUS. Does everything I ever expected it to do.
I loved your video! Thanks for all the info! I’m now seriously considering it!,
You deserve it lol!
Omg! Yes! Thanks for the honesty! And the giggles! We have been looking in to the glowforge for quite some time now to add to all of our business machines for making, and love all the options!
projectpinupgirl yah!!! Girl use that code and save you some coin!!!!
Please can I get the Glowforge on 220V not the 110V?
Your video was the first video I saw about the Glowforge! You sparked my interest, and after much debate and research, I pulled the plug and bought one! I used your referral link since you were the first. Thanks for sharing!
thank you!
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing your opinion. Also the C3PO earings...all the yes
You are hilarious! I laughed harder than ever watching this video. Thank you!!!!!
First let me say...I love love LOOOOOVE your spirit! I so wish we were friends :-)This video was hilarious as well as informative...Thanks so much for sharing this info, I've been on the fence about "do i want to invest so much money"...but i guess you have to spend $$$ to make $$$. One question with regard to ventilation, in your video it doesn't look like you have it going out the window. Did you purchase that "ventilation" box they offer on the GF site (not sure of the official name for it)? If so, how do you like it and is it worth the $$$?
I love how my mind said I want a glow forge then Boom you appeared!!
hahaha boom! Get you one and use my code hahaha.
@@SamCanDo I definitely will and can you cut thin metal for earrings?
@@TheRealAmythyst it won't cut metal. You need a fiber laser for that
This was such a rare honest opinion. Thanks for being a honest and entertaining!
Joey Haley thank you so much!!!!
Oh my god, I love you so much! You are hilarious and I can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Yay! Thank you!
Hey Sam. Just used your referral to buy a Glowforge Pro. Thank you!
I love this type of person! 💕
I read the pass through weight is 1/4", but the material depth is 2" . Do you think that thin pass through is too limiting. Is it really 3Xs faster?
I am not sure! I have the basic! I don't think it will fit thought. I think it only does the 1/4. So sorry!
Will definitely use you as a referral, will be buying the Pro pretty soon. Saving my funds and should be ready in about 2 months. Awesome video, thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for sharing your vidoeo. Just bought my Glowforge Plus and used your referral link...thanks again!!!

Thanks for the awesome video and for sharing your referral code... so excited for my new Glowforge!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey , I jus found your channel and I love your vibe. I've been researching from months and watching a ton of videos. If I buy one I will use your code!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey mama! Just used your referral code and purchased my machine! Thank you! 😘
Thank you!!!
Subscribed because I absolutely love your energy
You are awesome! keep up the good work.
Thanks!!!!
Great video 👍🏼
Do you know if we’re able to get the discount if we finance?🤷🏽♀️
Thanks for the promo! I am so excited to use it.
Thank you!!!!
Great video. I love your excitement about the product. I am thinking of getting this item. My main focus will be wedding invitations which take a long time to set up and print on a Cricut. You mention SVG files which is exactly what I was thinking. This machine does not print so I will need to print elsewhere and then cut a number laid out in one go. You did not mention perspex, do you know if they etch /engrave well?
You are hilarious! I am glad I found your channel.
Loved your video! I’ve been contemplating on getting a glowforge possibly the pro. I do have a concern as a mom ..,I live in an apt. and the glowforge would be placed in an open area only with the air filter. Do you know if it would still give off harmful fumes. Biggest concern holding me back.
Toxins are my concern also as well as noise/pollution in an apartment
I live in a 3,000 sqft house and I put my Glowforge upstairs vented out of a window, I do not have the filter you can buy separately, I can smell the Glowforge from downstairs and I close the office door and the door to the upstairs. I don’t allow my 5 year old upstairs while I’m printing and I mostly print when he isn’t home. It’s also fairly loud
I love your personality. So engaging and fun. Thanks for your review and tips!
Thanks... people hate it sometimes lol
How do you feel about the software being internet based ?? I just can't bring myself to buy one.. what happens if they go out of business you have no way of using the machine. I want one but I just can't do it :(
Caroline Gunzburg I don’t mind it. I don’t see that happening. Also I just did an app tour also to show how it works. But I understand your concern. I prefer how easy this is to other machines. But I see the risk.
Thank you so much for sharing im looking at buying one. How thick can materials be to print in the basic model. I would love a pro but its just a bit to expensive for me
Jessica Kate no prob. You can have them be as thick as 1.5 inches but you really can only cut as deep as under half an inch. But you can do layered projects where you stack wood and glue then together works great. My code saves you for the basic as well! I think it’s 100 off basic. 250 of the plus!!!!
They can be 1 1/2" but it can cut only about .3 inches to .5 inches. Thats pushing it. Its great for doing layered projects. but if you need a deep cutting instrument you probably need a c&c maching. Bigger investment. this works great for me though
Thanks for posting, this was super helpful for me! I wanted something that could help me advance in my design side-gig, and I also thought to myself "Omg, I could make ANYTHING!" 😂 but you honestly had me cracking up the whole time I watched this, you're so funny and I admire your honesty!
hahahah Im so Glad!!!
OMG do I love you. You're so fun to watch! You've convinced me to get myself a Pro...and to subscribe to your channel. Idc if you sell heaters (I live in south Louisiana) I'd watch you read a phone book lol You being a 'nerd' and gorgeous makes you even cooler! You are now my new bff in my head lololol thanks so much for the vid!
THANKS BOO
You sold me your energy is everything!
Definitely using your code just decided today we will get the pro. Also can we correspond because I’m nervous for the same reasons you were I want it to be simple enough to use but complex enough to do some really cool stuff.
Why did you say that it won’t save time if you already have a shop?
Love your enthusiasm
Big Wanda Knows thanks!! Love your comment! Haha
Sam! I love your energy! I am an educator, and I really really really... want a little more “flexibility” 😅. I want to order one SO bad... soooo nervous, the pro is calling my name but the “what if’s?” Are weighing on me. Help!
thank you for the information. I have seen other videos who also offer the referral program. I love your personality and will use your referral if I decide to buy. I have a phone call with Glowforge scheduled for the end of the week. Nervous about the money and not be able to make it back. I want to buy a house and need a side hustle to save money quick enough to buy it. I love crafting and need to step it up a notch. I don't do Instagram, but hope I can follow you through CZcams. (I know, I'm old and not with it! LOL)
Thanks for the support!!!!
you load up engraving before you go to sleep? Is it running that slow? The price paid can get larger commercial system with higher powered system especially for commercial use.
Just on crazy big projects. I usually engrave in waking hours
awesome, thanks for the review,, do you know if the referral work if you do the payment plan? has anyone done the payment plan yet?
mizzpurdy4018 I believe it will ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bought one with your link! Thanks for the video! 😋

I’m def loving the machine
Great video, even if it did make me a little seasick 😆. Love your personality and great info!
Thanks so much!
If im new to the laser printer world would you recommend the basic or plus.......how much different are they ...IM sure you get this question all the time?
If you're going to spend money, get the best product they have. She said she wished she had chosen the Pro! Merry Christmas!
Can you cut only glowforge materials?
I have a dumb question I’m new to the corporate community forum and I was looking at the free designs but I cannot figure out how to download them it’s probably obvious
What about the Compact Filter, would you buy it? Or the window vent it’s enough? And What about the noise? ...any thoughts? Thanks.
RIKEÕ if it’s going in a house the filter would be nice. But the window works just fine for me.
Sam Can Do ...and noise level? Louder than a vacuum? My studio is on a 2nd floor condo? Any thoughts? Thanks.
RIKEÕ oh yah! I would say equal to or quieter than a vacuum
Sam Can Do Thanks.
Hello, I would like to purchase a glowforge, but I’m not sure if I can do what I really want it for. Do you know and or have you ever created an acrylic invitation with the glowforge?
Jean Wiiliams you totally can do that! Easy!
Thank you for the info❤❤❤❤ Can you make payments on the machine or it has to be paid im full?
Payments. Or find a new credit card with zero interest for a year. Thats my suggestion
girl, love this video. i keep going to the glowforge site and staring it. i am scared to take the plunge. do you think i would be able to make enough items that i could at least, eventually, earn back the hefty price tag?
Rachael Sprowl I definitely think if you put time into it yes absolutely.
@@SamCanDo I took the plunge. Glowforge purchased and arriving today! I used your referral so I may reach out with questions. Thank you!
Sprowl Designs how did it go, have you made anything back on your investment ?
i was looking to start a small business and i want to know if glowforge is equipped to run for 24/7, beause am going to make so many things and is it necessary to buy any filter
The basic is not set up for all day jobs, the pro is set up with a cooling feature, but to be honest, it may still need some cool down time, also it runs 10x faster than the basic
Agreed you need a pro for that
do u have to use their products or can u use any type of wood or product
Brooke Aaron any type!
Cool. Thank you.
Do you know if there is a place to see the machine live?
Maureen Middleton sometimes they have pop up events. Also most “maker fairs” have then. Big ones at least
Would you ever recommend buying the Glowforge for a primary source of income or is this machine more for a hobbyist? Recently lost my business do to covid and I'm hoping to invest my money into something else.
I think it could Be both!
Just ordered with your referral link so hoping you get a good referral bonus. Love your excitement and looking forward to my new machine. Thanks.
Yay Thanks!!!!
Have you etched copper with it? How'd it look?
I have not. I have heard its risky because of reflective surfaces unfortunately.
Copper will not etch. Neither will gold or brass
Got my Pro. Having a blast. I found out that all the stuff I’ve learned from doing machine embroidery artwork and vinyl cutting artwork also applies to the glowforge artwork. Major head start. My only limit now is my imagination and finding my niche.👍
OMG SLAY!!!! tag me in your creations! i wanna see!
Sam can-do I ordered my glow Forge using your code I would like to see how you could get back to me I have several questions asked on several concerns thanks
JC PRODUCTIONS hey sorry I missed this. Could you dm me on Instagram?
Thank you for making the video. Can you please give 3 top reasons to push me to buy?
Handofseeds
Reason 1: freakin.
Reason 2: Laser.
Reason 3: Beams.
But really. East to use, no cad or weird software required. Those are my top reasons. Also.... laser beams
Sam Can Do lmao
Sam Can Do first video I watched from you. Immediately subbed! Your energy is envious!
Sam Can Do check out my website www.alleyesonmeled.com I’m looking to make my acrylics in house...Are you on Facebook
I somehow came across this video not even interested in the topic but I think this video is SO funny like the poor camera work and everything is sending me thank you I will be watching many more
Logan House I live to serve.
Hi Sam!
I am buying my glowforge next week, but I wanted to look at your instagram and follow you. Did you change the name or closed it? It shows private 0 followers and 12 post, somehow that does not seem right.
Anyway, I can't wait to get it and obviously using your code!! Woohooo!!!
yes its sam.can.do!
You're just too cute!!! Merry Christmas!!
Angelina Trotter merry Christmas to you to!!!!!
Can this engrave dog tags or cut metal to make dog tags?
I know there are ways but I have failed. I think the best would be to put masking take and then etch the masking tape an paint.
Hey Sam. The idea with the baby feet is pretty nice. How did you manage to get this on their? Did you paint the baby‘s feet with black color, put it on a paper and scanned it?
I put it on paper and scanned it!
@@SamCanDo looks fantastic
OMGeeeee Girl you are too funny and honest. Hmmm where’s your link. Ok sorry haven’t looked but I’ll be stalking you because I think I want a GLOWFORGE!!
Can you make a video on things you’ve done?
onecutemothertrucker sure!!! Also I post a lot of them on my insta!!! @samcandoo
Heyy Sam How do I get the svg files?
Hey. I really liked your video. I am super interested in purchasing one. Is there anyway I can contact you. I have some questions and would love your referral!
Sure! Email me @ samcandotoo@gmail.com or faster way would be to DM me on Instagram. @SamCanDoo
Just bought one🙈🙊 I used your code whoop whoop!! hopefully this works out for me🤞🏼 I’m So Scared lol
OMG!!!! THANK YOU
Sam, used your referal code so looking for a spot of advice :) with the GlowForge there is a Teal Blue tube with Install and Remove on it. whats that for?
My guess is for changing out laser parts, but wasnt sure! Help appreciated.
M Durbs can you message me on Instagram so that you can send a pic? Thanks!
Actually never mind!!! In my first glowforge video I had the same issue!!! Two minutes in!!!
czcams.com/video/ND0DexC7Gjk/video.html
It’s just for if you need to remove the laser
@@SamCanDo figured, thanks Sam
What camera are you shooting with?
Jenniffer Snead canon g7x mark ii
This has to be one of the most adorable videos on CZcams.
wow. Thank you!
I use your referral link, Thank you!
No thank you!
What are your thoughts a year later??!
I have a 3 year update
God bless you and your business 🥰
I RECEIVE IT!
I am so sad this is your only glowforge video - I need your knowledge!! How do I call the 1-800-BROIMTHERE for more videos haha
Breanna K I will work on it!!!!!!
I am working on it!!!!!
Sam Can Do please share more videos. You’re hilarious and informative.
You are crazy and I love it.
When people discover sweet spot settings for new materials, do they provide a system for sharing the info with the cloud based app, to make it easy for other users to refer to?
Also, do you know if they ever have any plans to allow the machine to be operated in standalone mode so you’re not required to have an internet connection just to use it? $2000-$4000 seems a bit of a gamble on a machine that could end up completely useless if the company ever goes under and the cloud service disappears. Would also be nice to have a working laser cutter if society goes belly up some day. ;)
The community forums are great for sharing insider tips!!! I am not too worried about the company. I have met with them and they are doing amazing things. Always growing!
Check out the muse3D from full spectrum laser. I love mine. I don't need to be on the internet to use it and it doesn't sound like a jet engine.
the pro is approx 7000 Canadian thats a lot of money
Does the laser work metal
It can do some engraving but It cant cut metal.
Can you engrave on the side of the sneaker?
its probably too thick :(
Lovely personality
Thank you so much!
Can I get referral code?
Is the link not working for anyone else?
did you figure it out?? glowforge.com/samcando
Love your video! But.... my Glowforge Pro lid is already falling apart from the poor design flaw of the glass, plastic parts & hinge hardware are all glued together. Company want me to pay $200 to ship it back to them for the repairs or I would have to fix it myself.
EL Alconcel I’m so sorry to hear that! Mine hasn’t had that problem! That’s awful :(
So you had it for a year, How often are you using it? I really want one but the price to make sense want to spread it out on a few years but the 6 months warranty on such an expensive product is such a big red flag :S as well as the USD to CAD current exchange rate hehe. Like your bubbly personality pretty sure we would get along haha :)
Jessika Duquette I use it at least once a week
I haven’t had any issues but i know you can send back for repairs. But I understand your concern
1-800-bro.im.there haha thanks for the review
No problem 👍
A little over the top about Glow Forge?
Yupp. my energy is pretty much always 90-100 though!
I wanttttt one
YOU DESERVE IT! LOL
Your energy is awesome, I've subscribed! Thanks for the info. I will save up for the pro.
Thanks for the sub!
How do we get the referral code? Thanks!
Chrisanne Sears it’s in the description!
glowforge.us/r/hG1XJv
Here it is as well!!!
Thanks!
I. LOVE. YOU. I think we could be best friends!
I am seriously considering a pro and I will definitely be using your link to purchase.
I kinda want to buy one, but 1) It's a lot of money and 2) I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out. :-)
Understandable. I have seen your channel! I think you have the creative ability. If I can do it anyone can!!!
and I suck at resin lol
:-) I am definitely still learning that one as well. I get frustrated a lot of times when things don't come out the way I picture them in my head, but when they come out great I'm very proud. :-)
Thank you! I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and I am seriously considering buying one if I come back with any money. :-)
Hey. Cool video. Just one thing..it’s a little hard to focus on what you’re saying because of the loud background music.. it was making me sweat trying to focus and hear all the noise lol 😳
Hayes••Gaming TV sure thing! Thanks for sharing constructively! I’ve changed my video style a lot since then! Check them out! It’s a lot more steady cam and quieter music!
I really tried and wanted to watch this, but it made me crazy.
Brandi Budde well hey! At least you tried
WOW
I neeeddddd.....
I get it!
