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.
I had the hose fall off the back of the machine a couple of times, upgraded to a better clamp.
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.
you should probably mention this to support, if you haven’t already. a better clamp would be an easy change for them at some point down the line.
Got it, one of the first projects is a sign that reads “remember the exhaust!!!”
Or a bright red cover over the button, with the reminder engraved on it. 
Escutcheon time.
Ooooh, like those hinged flip caps like you see on fighter jet sticks so they don’t accidentally launch a missle at a bus full of orphans.
Yes yes and exactly for that purpose!
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 very first escutcheon was precisely this:
I’ve got twins now. (sorry, bad picture)
The flashback warning is outdated now, looks like they (support 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. 
That reminds me… I do need to read the manual about cleaning. I dont think it’s time yet but won’t be long at my burn rate. 
Check the Support button on the Interface now. They’ve got excellent Cleaning Tips in there.
For sure.
I notice the exhaust fan blades begin to form stalactites, which begs the question of intervals between serious cleaning, and what to pay attention to long term.
you should make a lens wipe box that just reads CTFL.
Yeah, I like your idea better.
