I reserved the Glowforge machine online for October 17th and when I arrived there on the 17th a sign on the machine said something like "machine down, waiting for parts". So I waited 2 days and called the RA front desk on the 19th to see if it was fixed. The front desk attendant had to walk back to the machine to see if the sign was still there, and it was. Is there a way to inform the members when the machine will be back and operational? I know not a lot of people use it and I'm quite appreciative that the machine is under repair, but is there a way to communicate when it will be back up and running? Or estimated time? I hate to keep bugging the front desk. Or how can I help? I had one thought... there is a sheet of plastic that sits inside the unit as a filler that contains the message "REPLACE WHEN DONE! TAKE OUT BEFORE YOU BURN !". When I remotely login to the glowforge web app I can see a camera view of this. Could an additional message on a piece of paper be placed inside the machine with an appropriate message when the machine gets fixed? This way I could check it remotely.
