Nevertheless, many other Glowforge users feel this is excessive, and you should factor in this extra price if you are planning to purchase a Glowforge Pro, Plus or Basic. To get priority in the cloud to submit your projects, you’ll need to fork out $50/month for Glowforge Premium cloud-based software, though it does also come with a range of other useful and handy features like a wide font and image library, and some custom shape tools and free laser designs.

What’s more, Glowforge users reported slow lead times from submitting their models to the cloud, with long wait times for the job to execute.

There’s no downloadable app for offline use, so you have to have internet access wherever you’re planning on using your Glowforge machine. This is perhaps the most frustrating part of the Glowforge.

MUSE LASER CUTTER DREMEL SOFTWARE

Glowforge laser printers use a cloud-based software that requires perennial internet access, or you’re stuck. It’s also included free with the Muse – you can view it here. It’s all offline still – you can read more info on the setup here.

Both the Glowforge and Muse have systems to keep their device cool, with the Glowforge Pro having a Peltier cooler, involving pumping liquid through the laser to soak up heat. Powerful Co2 lasers get hot when used, and need cooling systems to prevent any dangers or errors during your job.

Glowforge say their machines engrave at up to 1355 dpi, slightly better, with a positioning precision of up to 0.001″. The FSL Muse offers 1000 dpi – fairly standard for prosumer laser cutting.

Glowforge vs Muse Compared: The Main Differences Cutting and Engraving Neither can cut metal – you’ll need a far more industrial laser cutter for these uses. They engrave and cut mostly the same materials – woods, acrylic, and engraving metals are what you’d really expect in this price range. While the default Glowforge Pro packs 5W more than the 40W Muse Core Desktop Laser, you can buy the Muse with an upgraded 45W tube type for an extra $250 and draw level with the Glowforge’s power. They’re both CO2 lasers, both two popular laser cutters, and both carry similar power.
