Choose a Location
Choose a location in a well-ventilated room with a 4" outdoor exhaust vent.
This is the same type of vent used to connect a dryer. The exhaust vent should be at least 3
feet
from property lines and openings into a building, and at least 10 feet from mechanical air
intakes. You can also put the hose out an open window, so long as the end of the hose is at
least 3 feet from the window and meets the other criteria above.
Prepare a Surface
Get a hard, flat, and stable surface ready. If the surface is unstable, uneven, or too small,
then you could have inaccurate prints, the doors may not close properly, and the camera
might be misaligned. You could even damage your Glowforge.
Unseal your Glowforge box
Carefully cut both strips of tape sealing the underside of your Glowforge box.
Remove the Lid. First peek: that's your very own Glowforge!
Remove the top layer of protective foam. If your Accessory pack shipped inside your
Glowforge box, you'll find the protective foam underneath the top pad.
Unfold the plastic covering so that you can lift your Glowforge out.
Your Glowforge is shipped in a protective plastic bag to protect it from the elements during
shipping. Unfold the plastic bag without cutting or tearing it, and move it to the sides so you can
reach in. Be sure to keep the plastic bag in case you need to ship your Glowforge again.
