Condensation inside Glowforge

Hello, new to Glowforge and I had it vented outside, came down this morning and saw condensation droplets on it. I lifted the lid, wiped it out. It starts fine but now I’m getting the “unable to take a picture” error message. Help please!

When you vented it to the outside, do you have a blast gate on it and have it closed when you are not using it?

No, I know it need that now I’m looking for what to do now to dry it out and to get the camera working again.

As long as it is not connected to the outside except to send air out. (if you have a seperate blower assist) Otherwise keep it off and unplugged until it is bone dry+. There is less damage if there is no place for electrical power to go places that release all the magic smoke. If there is no power there is no place that the magic smoke can wander off to.

Turn the machine off. Open the lid. If possible, get some small fans to set inside the machine to circulate air for at least 24 hours.
