Over the last number of weeks, I’ve been trying to work out a good solution for the Glowforge exhaust. I’m finally finished. I designed everything on Fusion 360. Printed on my Makergear M3ID printer, along with the Glowforge, X-carve and other shop tools.
Funny you should mention that. I was just at Menard’s on my lunch hour looking for a nicer hose. (I didn’t see anything better yet ).
If anyone has a good suggestion I’m open to it.
i bought something similar to this. but i picked it up in store at woodcraft. so i probably paid $10-15 more than i needed to. but i was in instant gratification mode. i cut it down to the length i needed and socked the rest away in storage in case i needed it later.
the foil ones are just too likely to have pinhole leaks. i started with foil and ended up covering it completely with a layer or two of foil HVAC tape. it became rigid with all of that.
We really should have some type of award/reward/recognition of things folks post. I know the Glowforge has at various times tried highlight things, but other than likes and rave reviews, the forum lacks an appropriate way to honor a masterful project like this. Very inspiring.
