To Filter or to not Filter?

Dan referenced this way back in the day:

Ideas for the hopper

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. The Glowforge plastics are final (the filter plastics are not) so that arrangement is not likely to change.
