They did the same to me…
This gave me a good laugh!
Sorry I just saw Dan had responded. We were backers since 2015, 1st day I believe. It was a big commitment of funds for us and we discussed it for weeks before the 1st day pre-orders were being taken. I remember saying to wait then we watched the maker faire videos and it was boom TAKE OUR MONEY!
My wife, Trish has stopped looking at anything GF but I continue to dream. Aidan
I hope your dreams come true fast. It really is a cool machine!
Still getting ready, and expecting needs to vent prior to receipt of filter. One more piece just about ready.
That looks way better than my hose hanging out the window. Nice!!
It should have a seal just from the amount of mesh width-wise between the inner and outer diameter. I can add a thin gasket if needed. Worst case, I still need to get a slider pet door to use with this, but since those are quite expensive, this is a good starting place.
And it is easily to remove.
Unless I’m missing something, venting through a screen seems less than productive.
The hose will go off the end of the deck. I don’t have a window to vent through, so was looking for a solution to allow me to vent outside without paying more than $120 for a sliding door adapter (if possible) and still keep the screen closed to keep the cats in.
(Without the cats, I might just run a hose from the out and off the deck with the slider and screen both open.)
I figured there was another length of hose involved but as shown it looked a bit less than effective.
That is just the connector to get through the screen. You might notice it is also missing a . That doesn’t stop me from getting ready.
Even if I have to use one of those sliding door adapters, I will probably use the MagVent, because I can put the sliding door insert behind my couch when not in use.
I made my own sliding door insert using about a 10" wide strip of MDF, cut to a height that allows it to slip into the door frame by first pushing the top up into the head/receiver of the frame then the bottom slides in, let go and it rests on the bottom. Then just close the sliding door against it. I haven’t bothered adding seals to make it air tight, havent had any fumes making their way back in around the insert so not worried about it now.
I might try that before going the pet door, but I have a small car, kinda tricky to have MDF fit my car and fit the slider.
I don’t see any problem there.

Nope, no problems at all there.
If I have to go to MDF, I might have to go to 2 pieces, one stacked on top of the other. That, I’m pretty sure, I could fit in my car. I can have a pet door delivered, though. (Not that the pets are allowed outside.)
I wonder if installing an electrical bathroom fan (or computer fan) in line with the exhaust hose would help pull the fumes out and away from my house. UP UP & AWAY
Elsewhere on the forum, I described in too much detail my experience installing a Fantech FR 125 at the end of my short duct run. It may have helped a little bit, but I’m not sure. It was a lot of work, so I want to believe that it was worthwhile, but I still get a (tolerable) smell and a measurable jump in indoor pollution levels when using the Glowforge. It’s quite possible that it’s exactly the same amount as before. At this point, I’ve made my peace with it and I’m willing to live with it, I just wish I could figure out exactly where it’s coming from. I hate mysteries.
