The air filter costs an additional $750 extra when you buy the $3000 Glowforge, I could see students skimping on that and no realizing the implications. https://glowforge.com/order

That said I watched the video for this product and I'm really looking forward to when these are widespread. It's a very exciting industry. I'd definitely buy one of these when it gets to around $1k.

They weren't students. Roger was a game developer while Valerie was a post-doc. They just happened to live in Berkeley.

Why are we talking about the air filter? a) whether it was a glowforge system is still speculation b) air filters do not have anything to do with CO, only particulate.

The order page definitely doesn't have any warning about the basic - even I would go 'Nah, what's the $720 for? Upsell?'

How about:

Glowforge Pro + Air Filter: $5,995.00

Glowforge Basic + Air Filter: $3,745.00

Glowforge Basic: $2,995.00 Warning: You may die when using Glowforge inside without Air filter (link). You may also die when cuting these materials (link) inside even with air filter.

Selling the product without that filter could be considered immoral.
