You have to buy the cleaner from Amazon or another vendor. Glowforge doesn’t sell it.
Thanks for the update, and I hope your daughter made a full recovery! For fan cleaning, you’ll need to obtain a can of 3M Novec Electronic Degreaser, which you can purchase from Amazon or Digikey.
- Then, go to this URL: https://app.glowforge.com/maintenance/fan
That page will walk you through the cleaning process. A brief summary:
-
Turn off and unplug your unit and move it outside. Make sure it’s in a location where it has power and Wi-Fi
-
Using the fan maintenance page, you’ll be able to turn the fan on
-
Following all manufacturer’s safety instructions from 3M, spray the degreaser into the fan while it’s running for approximately 5 - 10 seconds, or until the fan is clean.
-
When you’re done cleaning, turn off your unit to stop the fan, and return it to its usual home. You should now see considerably better performance from your exhaust fan!
