[@MsCococure]

Thanks for the thorough review sis! I have the original Glowforge Basic, and after seeing this review, I think I want to sell it and get the Aura!! I just subscribed to your channel to stay on top of things!!😩

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks so much! I had someone else message me to do the same thing you’re planning! More videos coming soon! ❤️

[@YaaLFH]

No, you really don't. It's a toy in comparison.

[@govnfirsthan5373]

Great review. I just need a link for the tool used to help peel

[@gsmith5140]

Nice. I want one. On my wish list.

[@herFLYness79]

Glowforge is on my wishlist. This is so cool 😎

[@JCatNY]

Even with the Aura Filter, does the solid color Acrylic produce any smell? Nice demo, thanks!

[@suburbiajones2268]

Can you say upsell?

[@Foster_MPH]

Too cool!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! 🧡🧡🧡

[@sandydee04]

Bonjour ! What the name the product yellow ? Please

[@pinklipstick8]

Wow. Does it cut acrylic as well? Glow forge been on my wishlist glad they made a more affordable one.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yes it cuts acrylic! I have more videos coming soon showing different materials!

[@JulieLloyd-ri8ug]

You missed the Freebie in the box, with the cutting tray.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Whoops! Sorry about that! I was so excited to get started

[@jessek-9scentdetectiontrai10]

Beautiful Smile ma'am 🤎 ❤

[@thegracefulpenstudio]

Love your review, Nicole! Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks so much girl! I can’t wait to share more! 🧡

[@SanaasKitchen]

I’m interested to buy it , do u think it’s gonna work for mirror acrylic!??

[@JulieLloyd-ri8ug]

What happens if you took off the masking tape before watching a video, realizing you weren't supposed to? 😢

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It may still cut. I think it just helps with precision! I would try cutting it to see if it works!

[@songbird501]

Great review, Niky! I love all your videos! ❤

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to share more!

[@angeladaniel209]

Thanks for your review. Question, is there a subscription cost or do you just pay for the project patterns?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Hi!!! You can pay for the subscription (tons of designs on there!) but if you want, you can add your own patterns/designs for free.

[@kathypariso6102]

I have been comparing this to the xTool M1. They are similar in price, but the M1 can have upgrades to add additional functionality. The Aura does have the pass through slot though. About those “proof-grade” materials…they are expensive so take that into account, especially if you are thinking about business profits. Yes, you can use other materials, but you will need to figure out the settings for them yourself. Before you decide, do your homework.

[@JulieLloyd-ri8ug]

Too late 😢

[@IndysMom1]

Where did you get the table for your aura it looks perfect

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thanks! It’s called the Dreamcart - you can get it from here: glnk.io/6zwk/itsnicolefoster

[@louisehecht5100]

Just starting watching you and I am obsessed. Btw, your son is so cute.❤

[@tonybablony2041]

8:05, bruh that is a pen! 😂

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Haha! Sooo I actually should have explained that a bit more! It’s not a pen, it’s like a micro weeding tool that looks like a pen!

[@WilliamLee-eh6hy]

A very poor choice ... cheaply made, low diode power, slow speed, wifi dependent, monthly fee. The only good think I can say about it is their great customer service ... you will need that ... a lot! Any 10 watt laser engraver would be a better and cheaper choice for you.

[@TinyLuxuryCo]

😂😂😂 damn, tell her how you really feel 😑

[@laurabrey3128]

Is the air filter necessary to have?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

You can use the air filter or filter through the window. Venting is a must though!

[@mistyl4383]

About how long did the coasters take to cut?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Ooh I forget! I think it was about 45 mins to 1 hour. I cut out 4 at once and I had my speed set on the slower side (at 15) so it can be super precise, but the power was on 10. Plus this was my first time using it. I’m still getting used to all the settings! But I LOVE the coasters and my family is using them! Which is great! 😂

[@mtz3843]

is it a 20w or 40w ? oh can it cut 1 in wood?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yes it can cut wood! I believe its 6 watt but you can double check all the specks here: glowforge.pxf.io/an4ykN ❤️

[@smileyscrafty]

I purchased and am so excited! I originally could not afford the Pro version nor had the space to accommodate the size but this is perfect! Only downfall I would say is that I keep seeing it can't cut clear or mirror acrylic? Do you know if that is accurate?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Yayy!! I’m so happy for you! I agree, this sizs is perfect! Yes, it can’t cut those but other color acrylics it can. I just cut thin black acrylic and I’m using for a project coming up! 😉

[@debbielukacs7606]

Have you used wood from home depot or lowes?

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

I have not tried yet, but I’ve seen other people use it for engraving. For cutting, thin materials work best.

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

Great Video......we are looking into the Aura.....Happy Holidays!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

So awesome! Be sure to use my affiliate link!! 🥰❤️😍

[@alexisrios6190]

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Awww thank you! It’s really is great and the learning curve is so simple. 😊

[@cherriethomas9538]

I think I'm getting it for my birthday as I've wanted one for ever. Thank you for the information.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

You’re welcome! It’s perfect for beginners! ❤️❤️

[@mahoganycrumidy6494]

This is so cool. I love it! You’re so gorgeous. Skin just glowing!! Share your skin care routines!!!

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

😂😂Thank you so much! Ok maybe i will in a future video! 🧡

[@rayaltorfulton5593]

Is it easy to clean the imprint for each project. It looks as though it stays on the cutting board

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It was easy to clean. I actually took the grid out, and used a wet paper towel to clean it. It came right off. I should have showed that in the video as well.

[@CarverEngraver]

Use masking tape to pull up the film

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Oh good idea! Thank you! ❤️

[@Mzzg]

Wow, that is so cool.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Thank you! It is! I have more projects lined up and can’t wait to share!

[@xxBLKSNXxx]

Sorry to burst your bubble but this thing isn't ready for prime time.

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

It may not be for everyone, but its perfect for beginners!

[@lovebirdcustom]

@@DIYbyNikyFoster I assume that this person was referring to the massive issues people are having, mostly the alignment / accuracy problem that can also be a fire hazard. Apparently this was a known issue even in prerelease versions, yet they released it anyway. Check the CNET review...the reviewer is on his third unit, and CNET now says they don't recommend the Aura due to the numerous problems they have encountered in testing. My third unit arrives Friday, and I really don't have high hopes. We are all unwitting beta testers for this thing. This is a flawed product that never should have been released, and the inability to return it is ridiculous. The problem is made worse by influencers who sweep the issues under the rug, when people should be warned not to waste their time or money. There should be a class-action suit.

[@tiffanyjohnson5899]

I have the Pro and haven’t used it yet 🫣, but your video is making me want to go ahead and just try mine! 😊

[@DIYbyNikyFoster]

Gurl, you have the pro?! You can do some amazing things!
