My Venting Setup

Everything Else

That looks really nice! Since we’re venting out of the front of the house, I really wanted something that looks clean and discreet. Ours is okay but yours is way better … I may take a little inspiration from you and modify mine a bit now :wink:

Also, you’re wise to be prepping now!

I am going to have to do something like this. Thanks for sharing! I really like the quick connection.

That is one tidy job.
Looks good and you still have your view.

Thanks for posting! I appreciate seeing the different options folks are coming up with. I’m sure they’ll all have some influence on what I eventually come up with.

So I can tell you, the area between the screen and window is already piling up ash… That’s in 2 day of use. I was sort of surprised at how much stuff is building up, and if I was keeping it through the window (instead of permanently installed from my basement workshop via rigid piping) I would remove the screen (which I will do next week and clean the sill)

As you may have seen in my noise video post the flaps work fine.

Now I notice a bird feeder right near your vent. I can promise you no birds will be coming to that feeder with your GF venting nearby. A) it is surprisingly loud and B) large amounts of smoke. Birds who don’t understand how awesome the Glowforge is, will naturally fly away from fire/smoke…

Do you also have an exhaust leak that is affecting the house or just overdosing on caffeine this morning?

Dude - it’s mating season again. I have been getting less than an hour and half of sleep a night for the last 3 or 4 days. Waking up at 2 am, 3 am, 4 am … all blessed night long.

I know you are referring to the birds, but re-read your post with a different mind set :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Whoa…TMI

Is this one of those side effects the blue pill commercials warn about? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Uh-huh! I sure hope the little guy gets lucky soon, before I have to shoot him!

(Actually - i am seriously going to start burning material right before bed for a few weeks - my bedroom is right over the office. If it works, Glowforge will have another unanticipated function it can add to it’s already impressive list of functions - bird deterrant.)

Snortle! I wish. (Too tired. ROFL!) :laughing:

I will note, it does not appear to be a squirrel deterrent!
