close. . It’s a DYI - REPACK of the glowforge filter for like 1 / 10th the cost
a step by step how to do it.

I am adding iG0r to my frakenforge so its completely self contained.
since I am producing glass dust, and no real wood / acrylic smoke, I think
a external filter will be a winner…

I’d be curious where you’re sourcing activated charcoal filter media for that price point. From what I understand the filter uses quite a lot of that, replacing the media for 1/10th the cost ($25) would seem like a stretch, not to mention the other filter components.

Is that the same as activated charcoal?

I use something similar as a pre-filter when I use my filter.

Says it is
Gotta believe amazon

I’m confused - that carbon pad isn’t remotely the same as pile of carbon chunks. (being mostly polyester webbing with some carbon dust sprinkled in)

its all theory and speculation at this point, why I am “not starting” this thread till TOMORROW :slight_smile:
