by making both fan blow out, you will suck inn all dust, the best idea is to have 2 fans inn with filter, 1 out, so that you create positive pressure inside the box, that will make the air blow out of holes and groves that might be around.

Good point I haven’t thought about that. Being a lazy bugger I know what will happen. It will get left until it’s so full of dirt that it fails then I’ll clean it out and fix it!

Adding a proper filter behind the mesh (that one will only catch small birds and the like) to keep dust out of the cabinet might not be a bad idea. At least it will extend the time to fill it up. 😅

[@xillianto]

@@andli461 yes, but having negavite pressure in the cabinet, will draw dust and stuff in every opening, so unless the cabinet is airtight, it will draw dust

[@andli461]

⁠​⁠​⁠Absolutely agree 100%. Stopping what can be stopped from entering, i.e. fine dust, can’t be a bad thing and as you mention filters your self, I think we are on the same page here. My main concern was that the wire mesh will be rather useless for anything smaller then a kolibri. 😅

I'm assuming this is a 6090 unit. I got rid of my 6040 as it was too small but must admit the 6090 looks a decent size. Are you going to upgrade to Mach3 or UCCNC? I'm in the process of upgrading my Syil to UCCNC as the spindle controller had an intermittent fault and stopped the spindle for a split second whilst the axes carried on!! Good vid and shows how poorly these things are put together.....

Hi yep it’s a 6090 all now works well the bed upgrade is coming along well. No plans to upgrade but I will with my laser cutter when I get that far. I had looked at Masso but it’s quite expensive. I think uccnc is probably best bang for buck! Cheers
