Rapid Prototyping and Installing proper ventilation in our CO2 Laser Cutter

[@amosdevonish5888]

Nice set up

[@UnaFraseyAdelante]

Hi!! Thank you for sharing this great idea. Just 2 questions: 1. With this device, can the fumes goes up the console or all of them enter in the device? 2. Do you have an air filter connected to your fan or the fumes goes directly out your workshop?

[@marekkorzeniecki6964]

Great idea. I will be trying this out. 👍

[@DabooDesigns]

I look forward to seeing your setup.

Looks nice 😊 may you can give me the files for cutting that out? I'm getting a 100w OMTech in the coming days and I also wanna get it modified 🙈

@@DabooDesigns thank you, I saw on the 100w machine the air outlet is on the side and not on the back, have to see if it still works somehow 😅

[@jasonconway5197]

Do you have a link for the stand-offs? I am waiting on my first laser, an OMTech 100w and I’m preparing what I can before it arrives. I like your stand-off set-up.

[@DabooDesigns]

Great question, I just now added the list of parts to the description.

[@alltaira5922]

I got the 50 watt version and wonder if this would work for my machine. Probably not since I have a smaller cutting surface...

[@DabooDesigns]

I'm not sure. Feel free to download the file from here and see: daboodesigns.com/blogs/info/improved-exhaust-airflow-for-the-omtech-55w-co2-laser-engraver

Where did you get this magnetic right angle pieces?

[@DabooDesigns]

I designed and 3D Printed them.

[@turboflush]

I have never liked the lack of proper air extraction design. Are you using a extraction filter or sending fumes outside? Cfm?

[@DabooDesigns]

I do not currently have a filter installed. My exhaust fan is 390CFM.

[@Martin-ll7jc]

The laser metal bed how thick is it thank you

[@DabooDesigns]

I believe it's 16 gauge. I had a friend cut it and put a bend in it to keep it level.

[@lupdogdog5371]

very nice can't find the the can you help pls.

[@DabooDesigns]

I'm not sure I follow what you're asking. There's a link to the plans.

[@creativeintern6815]

What fan do you use?

[@DabooDesigns]

Here's the one I installed in my laser: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DXYMJ94/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@nhetrixg]

Its great!!!! Its a good idea please can you give me the files thanks

[@DabooDesigns]

The files are here: daboodesigns.com/blogs/info/improved-exhaust-airflow-for-the-omtech-55w-co2-laser-engraver

[@СашкаБелый-ч6м]

I think in this form air is drawn out NOT evenly. In right and left sides air go out less then from center.

[@DabooDesigns]

While that is likely true, I get excellent airflow end to end. The more controlled flow make a huge difference.

FYI, The link for the file currently just leads to a 404 page

[@DabooDesigns]

Thanks for letting me know. I have fixed the link.
