The Giz Wiz Show 1671, April 20th 2018, Independent Show #154

The Giz Wiz Show recently started it's 13th year! The first show was February 20th, 2006. And soon (May 2018) we'll be entering our 4th year of Independent Production!

That's thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters! If it wasn't for them the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/. You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. (As we can say honestly, asking for more Patreon supporters is not to make more money, it helps us lose less money doing The Giz Wiz. Thanks!)

We start this week's show with the amazing Glowforge 3D Laser Printer. The company launched their next-generation laser cutter at MakerCon New York in September 2015, and it was so wildly successful it set a crowd funding record, hitting $27.9 million in 30 days!

Here's some info from the company:

Glowforge's wireless desktop laser makes it simple for designers, artists, and makers to take products directly from digital design to reality. Unlike 3D printers that build objects out of plastic, Glowforge uses lasers to print products out of durable and beautiful materials like wood, leather, acrylic, paper and fabric. A sleek and efficient design makes this industrial-grade technology beautiful and affordable, and a friendly cloud-based app makes it easy to create amazing things with Glowforge. ---I saw this printer in action on 4/19/18 when they duplicated my logo and printed it as a hardwood puzzle in about 5 minutes. And that was the time from loading the design into a computer to my holding the finished product in my hand. On that day they told me they will have some exciting news about a new Glowforge 3D Laser printer and new accessories that will upload to their webite on Monday, April 23rd, 2018. Be sure to check out my video and the one on the company website:
