Yes, there are a couple reviews listed on the Air Filter Latest thread below:
No comparisons yet, but I was lucky enough to test one of the Compact Filters.
There is no smell while the compact filter is running, even during the stinkiest of extruded mirrored chemical laden acrylic, which has always made me a little bit sick to smell. And it was tested in a small 8’ x 10’ office with me sitting right next to it for hours of heavy cutting and engraving.
(I do imagine that the Glowforge filter is going to be the same level of odor control, otherwi…
WOW! Just started running a 50+ minute print job, and 2 minutes in, I am blown away by how much quieter the 'Forge operates with the Compact Filter, and the fact that there REALLY is NO SMELL!!!

If they have additional filters from an order, they might very well allow people to purchase them. I didn’t have a filter on order, but I offered to buy one so it could be tested.
They will bill you separately via PayPal, but if you’re wanting one, go ahead and sign up for it on the form, but explain the circumstances (you don’t have a GF filter on order but want to buy one now) in the writeup.
It requires a lot of additional manual fixing on their end, so they might not want to do it yet, bu…
