I just get back in from running some errands… sit down at the computer and get a project running on the glowforge…
Sitting here wondering why I was smelling so much acrylic… not an offensive amount, mind you, but I have virtually zero smell in the room with the GF running so any hint of it is more than normal.
Yeah, I totally forgot to put the vent/filler panel back into the screendoor… LOL. Luckily it was only a couple minutes into an engrave.
Isn’t that funny? I don’t think the draftboard stinks at all, but the maple ply bothered the heck out of me at the beginning. (And since that was most of what came with the PRUs, I spent a couple of days running the fan full out all the time.)
Doesn’t bother me as much now, but it’s still not my favorite.
Heh. I did that once. But I was watching at the time. And I kinda went “Wow. That’s a strong smell.” “Oh, @#$%!” And quickly put the vent in the window.
Hehehe, once I forgot to open the blast gate and noticed a wind shooting out of the front door edges… took me all of 3 seconds to yank it open. the blast gate that is.
Yes, when I bought the exterior vent hood I went ahead and picked up screw type hose clamps and am glad I did because there is not much flange to work with on the back of the machine.
My experience has been the same – This weekend I ran a series of deep pocket engraves (1000 power at various speeds) followed by cuts on draftboard and it was a low-odor operation. I was seriously impressed by how little the draftboard smelled afterward, too.
The flashback warning is outdated now, looks like they (support ) have got that dialed in now.
I’m sorry, but I don’t recall who of you to credit for the inspiration of the lens cleaner box.
