Myself know don't tell ... milo Ventimiglia believe do myself story ? I saw who don't tell man face very handsome don't tell...
I would love a ‘marriage’ of Cricut & Glowforge! I have a Maker and I’ve always wanted a Glowforge, but they are very expensive. It would be nice if the merger meant they would be able to get the price down. Can’t wait to hear more about this! ❤
@christinadelrio8515 your comment makes zero sense
It would be awesome if Cricut got a handle on their own software before they branched out to monopolize another system
💯 %
1000% I’m so frustrated that they can’t get a handle on it!
I agree!
I too would just be afaraid of more problems with desigb space if Cricut starts expanding fields.
That would be great, but $3-4K would be too expensive for most crafter.
Wow, that would be crazy. I also have a Glowforge. I agree with what some other people have said about Cricut not being able to keep up with their own software. I don't really care who owns what, but it needs to work and keep up. 😬
“….better together…..” would be great, but they would totally need to focus on customer service and support. Glowforge is a great hobbyist laser cutter but if a component in the machine fails/breaks, GF is slow and expensive to ship parts with zero assistance to the end user performing the repair at home. All support comes from Facebook groups with members who give graciously of their time to assist end users. That said, don’t you think Cricut needs to continue working on their own internal infrastructure? Cricut has had some software glitches as noted in several of your recent posts. While I agree an acquisition of GF by Cricut would be awesome, Cricut should consider hiring an acquisition specialist to help with the transition, eliminate extraneous employees, and to strengthen overall processes.
Some???
I would prefer Cricut fix Design Space first…just think how good would be if spent that money on the DS how much better it could be.
Agreed work on what you have and stop expanding to add more things to deal with.
👏👏👏 Agree!!
Totally agree
If I could go to Design Space and create... without the glitches, I would be excited. I feel they need to focus on what they have first. I understand businesses still have to evolve and grow, BUT the foundation has to be corrected first.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE/ALLOWED TO SAVE THE DESIGNS WE CREATE TO OUR OWN SYSTEM…
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!! that's OUR work product!! our intellectual property!! how they high jack our designs and then SELL ACCESS to them is insanity!!
I wish they would fix all the recents glitches of their software before developing all kinds of new functions (not free!) or going into laser technology! Besides, if I were to buy a laser engraving and cutting machine right now, I would buy the Wecreat
@johannevinet5083 Agree 100%
I’ve seen the Wecreate and wasn’t sure about them. I have also looked at the Xtool.
Xtool is glitchy, too...unfortunately
@@TheOcie7I have x tool m1 love it!
It would be awesome if Cricut took over if they can provide machines affordable for crafters. 😊
Cricut needs to work on their outdated hard to learn design space! They should update their software instead of always dangling a new carrot(machine) and improve software
I hope this isn't true. If it is the price for a laser is going to skyrocket, I already think cricut machines are expensive for what they are. If cricut acquirers glowforge the price of Glowforge witch is decent now will probably double the price, witch is insane
I'm an XTool gal. As much as these lasers cost, I would not be able to afford a change to the glowforge. It just would not be cost efficient for me. Good luck though with this adventure. :)
I’m an Xtool gal too!!! Love my M1
Sounds great. I agree with your comments, and where you see it possibly heading.
Wow! My husband and i were looking at glow forge just this morning. Think we'll table our purchace thanks to you
You're welcome!
They aren’t ready for it at all. They can’t even get their software working correctly.
I’m excited about it too, I have both. I look forward to Cricut customer service for the Glowforge.
I think it would be great to have Cricut and Glowforge together! I own both and Cricut design space is so much easier to use.
I was just about to buy a glowforge and if cricut gets them it’s an absolute no! Cricut machines and heat presses have about a two year life span and then they crash. They need to work on their own software and products first before acquiring others
That would be awesome!!!!! I hope you're right!!!
I’ve been so excited to get a laser cutter and if the rumors are true I’m very excited. I have a Cricut and absolutely love it. I’m hoping they do make it affordable so that they are more affordable.
I think I would prefer an XTool or a WeCreat. They’re much less expensive, and the WeCreat autofocuses. As long as the Glowforge acquisition doesn’t take Cricut down with it, it’ll be okay. I just won’t use a Glowforge. If the company folds, I’d have TWO expensive paperweights!
I wish I could get some of that fish. I love you are doing what you love! Keep fishing!!!!
I’ve been wanting a Glowforge for a long time so this would be great if they come together!
I would love a Glow Forge, but price is one reason I have waited. Thanks for the info.
do
You're welcome!
I think adding an expensive company with expensive equipment would make cricut to unattainable for the average craftier. I mean cricut is already a major investment! Plus, them merging the software what a nightmare.. Cricut needs to fix what they got before considering that..
Cricut needs to fix their DS bugs. We shouldn't have to do work-arounds to nake stuff. Glow Forge has an entry level machine, tge Aura. I just acquired a new/used Xtool D1 Pro. I think Xtool may give Glow Forge a run for their money. The Xtool P2 CO2 laser can be bought for about $4500.
That mock up you showed looks like the WeCreat that is out now. I own one and it’s almost spot on in the design.
And I thought the Wecreat software has been said to be very similar to Design Space?
@@jenmather4112 it is in many ways
Laser printers were at a high at first. As the decades passed, the price got lower and allowed people to buy a laser printer for home use. I have a feeling that most Cricut users don't buy a $300 to $400 machine on impulse unless they run a profitable business using their Cricut. My
Opinion is that it would take several years to break even with a new and expensive laser product line.
I think it'd be awesome. I've wanted a Glowforge for a few years, but the price has kept me away.
I have been considering a Glowforge, this possible merger excites me!!! I will wait to see what happens, please keep us informed Tanner. Thanks for ALL you do!
You're welcome!
I would love it. I have a Glowforge Aura which I love, but would love to be able to use Design Space with it.
Ken talked about this last year that Cricut had a patent for a laser Ms hi r. We shall see. If they do, I hope it’s affordable. As for Design Space, I’ve never had any issues.
I would love it if Cricut acquired them. Maybe it would make them more affordable. I've wanted to purchase a Glowforge, but just haven't brought myself to spend that kind of money yet. 🤞that it happens because it could really be game changer!
Would love Cricut to get involved they have a super smart and savvy CEO and I think they would make a laser machine more accessible to everyone! Yes! Let’s go Cricut!
The real thing that's doomed/dooming Glowforge is their "Price Point." The average crafter will never see that and be comfortable paying $7000! In this economy it's not good enough anymore to say, "It's American made" and like zombies we all line up to buy it... There are at least four other great non-American laser companies out there whose products, "like the cell phones and TVs we all use..." are extremely well built, and more powerful for a fraction of the price. Some of them even allow you to use other software to operate them. Given their price point Glowforge "wrongly" thought that they had conrnered the market... And as much as I love my Cricut, they're next if they keep thinking that customers are stupid and will keep paying high prices for "all" their products! V
I agree! Cricut is going back to those old business habits unfortunately. I’ve had cricut since the beginning, they promised us all kinds of stuff, yet it never came to pass. All they did was put out more product without fixing what was already out!
Omg that sounds very exciting!!! 😅
This will be a fun story to follow from a business/market standpoint. It does seem like a natural progression for the company if they can acquire the company for less than putting out their own machines. Add in the built-in mass market distribution of Cricut, and I can see either the unit prices coming down, or a more mass market friendly model being introduced. I’ll bet it would be the mass market friendly option. Keep us posted on this. While I’m not in the market for a laser machine (nor do I imagine I would be in the future - I just don’t craft enough to justify it), I find this an interesting business case study theory to follow. Only time will tell! 😉
I haven’t been into the Glowforge but after watching this video the Glowforge Spark came up on my Facebook. Looks like Glowforge is coming down to Cricut world and meeting in the middle. it said all materials including food at $699
I am all for this I hope it happens 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I have a Glowforge Plus that I love. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to sell it due to an unforeseen health issue and needing to relocate.
I have been viewing a lot of videos about different laser cutters and have held off making an investment until I know what I really want to do with it. It’s exciting to think of Cricut acquiring Glowforge because I know good instruction videos on lasers is rare and that is so valuable. I’ve seen videos and for the most part I don’t know what they’re talking about. There is nothing basic that even explains the terminology.
I have both items and I can say that both companies have stopped innovating. The closed design environments of these products are the very reasons they are where they are now. I wish I could jailbreak my slowforge and Cricut.
Very informative. I have been looking into a laser machine.
I agree that cricut needs to get their software under control and fix everything that’s wrong with it first!
Cricut needs to fix their software, AND allow export of a design that we create in there. I can see that the artists they have may not want their's exported but if a crafter uses the shapes to create something that is totally from scratch they should be able to export that design, just like silhouette and leonardo do.
Interesting. I’ve been thinking of getting a laser but concerned about having the space in my craft room for it. I will eventually buy one anyway and I would love to have laser training on MGL and would be nice if the design software is similar and better for both machines so I don’t have to learn something totally different.
I bought an xtool s1 laser and I love it! That would be great if cricut would buyout glowforge!
They better not because I would like a glowforge but if Cricut owns it, forget it.
I have wanted a glow forge for over a year and would love it if Cricut bought them !!!! I have a lot of Cricut products and they are awesome!
Would love laser cutter but not while all the problems with design space exisit
Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking into and researching laser machines. So, this video comes at the right time.
I do think glowforge is very expensive and I am a bit concerned about the software. Cricut is great but like you said, if these companies go out of business, the machine is unusable.
You're so welcome!
I'd love to have a glowforge, but I can't afford it and I don't have anywhere to put it
Interesting. I heard about Glowforge, but I never paid much attention to it. Even if they do acquire it, it still sounds like it will be a very expensive piece of equipment. I need to see videos of this machine to see if it's worth it.
I would love this to happen. I LOVE my Cricut and would love to add the laser cutter to my arsenal 😊
It seems more materials for Cricut to mark up
I wouldn't mind a merger as long as I can still use my GF Aura. I want to upgrade, but honestly I don't NEED to upgrade. I would upgrade if the prices that came down.
Better together excited
If they did and then upgraded machines, how expensive will at home machinery become?,i fear far too expensive.
I have a Glowforge Aura and like it very much. I couldn't afford the pro machines so the aura is just perfect to get your feet wet in the laser world.
I have no idea about Gloforge I will have a look at it. I have no objection to a merge. But using Cricut drives me mad 😱
I would love if they can do this and get glowforge.
I have cricut machines as well as a cnc. A laser would be awesome.
I say yes ,I have been wanting to get a laser machine ❤
I'm intrigued by a laser machine. I know I'm not ready to invest in one, but I still want to be able to do everything. I've appreciated related products by the same company and by different companies, so right now I feel neutral about any potential merger or acquisition.
I need a Glowforge
Even at 3-$4000 I would not be able to afford it.
I would love to see cricut acquire glowforge
I have misgivings about Glowforge. People either love their products or hate them. Ashlee sold me on the xTool P2 and did a side by side to her Glowforge comparison. The lady I follow for earring laser cutting/building also had many problems and claimed she could have rebuilt her Glowforge blindfolded she had to be inside it replacing parts so often. If Glowforge doesn't sell to a more reliable company, I don't see how they are going to survive. As for me, I am in love with the xTool 2.0 Beta software, and with promises to add more improvements going forward, I will stick with them. I tried Lightburn software, and honestly, Cricut software spoiled me. If they get Glowforge and merge their software from Cricut then I will give them very serious consideration.
I love my Xtool M1
Not good idea because Cricut merchandise already so pricey and the monopoly system that you can’t export your design and can’t use the modified design when you are no longer a Cricut access member.
For example, Cricut adventure is $1000, then drop to $500 or $600 occasion. That’s right there is telling me that they made a lot profits. Those sell price I am sure they make some profit also.
I would prefer using canva software
This is a lot of speculation, unless you have inside information. Already so many laser cutting machines out there. Lots of risks.
Awesome if Cricut did … however the cost of these machines is still too high for most crafters.
If it’s true Cricut will triple the price some of us have low resources available. (By no fault of our own)
I really don’t care. Those laser cutters push into the market, lots of creators are showing them off on their channels. But honestly, for home use I really don’t need it. I hardly use my Cricut to its full potential, I really don’t have a use for a laser cutter for at home crafting.
I'm against glowforge for the same reasons I'm against cricut.
Well...i guess a glowforge is off my list...uggg
Cricut is not even affordable for the home crafter as it is a large ticket item and a big $$$$$ grabber as everything is costly. It is only for wealthy business people as a home crafter can not afford the unlimited supplies and even their software is iffy and you have to pay more for every single thing!!! Wish I had bought Silhouette!!!! Or the Brother Scan & Cut!!! I also hate PayPal as they rip you off if buying anything Cricut!!!
cricut NEEDS to FIX their dag gone software before releasing/selling any more machines!! I literally regret having invested so much time and resources into cricut.. their dimensions are limiting.. their accessories or overpriced junk.. their vinyl is OBJECTIVELY awful.. but.. most importantly.. their software/design space is the absolute worst!! now? they're thinking about obtaining another brand? why? so they can ruin them too? 😂😂😂
I made a new video
I’ve been wanting to purchase a laser and just haven’t bitten the bullet yet. This would be awesome if it happened.
Yes, yes, yes.
YES! I own both and would love if Cricut bought Glowforge!
Cricut would probably make the improvements not work on previous purchases because they are all about new buys not improvements on current systems
I own the Glowforge Pro and the Cricut Joy & Explorer. Based on my experience with both companies since 2020, I would hate to have Glowforge owned by Cricut.
