Nova 51 vs. Glowforge Time Comparison by Spin Customs

Darryl Aspin of Spin Customs compares engraving speed on the Thunder Nova 51 vs. Glowforge, running the same file and material: 3:11 vs. 12:20.

From Darryl Aspin with Spin Customs Laser Designs:

Hey all. As many of you know I bought a Thunder Nova 51 to add to my little shop of the 2 Glowforges I have. I Got it all set up and working a couple nights ago and have been playing around with it. I still have some work to do on settings and stuff to learn, but right away I was blown away at how fast it is. I decided to run a test on exact same material and exact same file to compare it to my Glowforge. Using my monogram design of course. HAHAHA.

  • Glowforge: 12 minutes and 20 seconds
  • Thunder: 3 minutes and 11 seconds

Made a side by side video of them both.
