Setting Up the Glowforge Vent

[jbv]

here is some exchange about this:

@dan

The Glowforge has a connector to the air filter, which exhausts through many openings into the surrounding room. If you want to vent, don’t use the filter. If you use the filter, you can’t vent.

@jacobturner

The only way it can possibly connect is by having a small adapter/connector which attaches to the normal dryer-vent connection, does a quick double-90 degree flip around, and then has everything in to the filter.

@dan

Sorry for any confusion - there’s a coupler as @jacobturner describes that takes the air out of the GF and into the filter.

@rpegg

We thought that the part about “If you use the filter, you can’t vent”, meant that you would need to physically remove the whole filter unit to place the vent out the window. It sounds, again assuming, that you just need to remove the coupler and then mount the dryer vent out the window.
