This video was EXHAUSTING, but you kept me from DUCTING out early with the great info! 😁

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

🤣😂 thanks

[@kylegustaveson5345]

Backdraft protection on that end wall cap is huge for keeping drafts out, being somewhere it gets cold it is a huge quality of life thing for sure! Another thing that can help if using 1 big fan on several machines, is using blast gates to seal off machines that aren't in use to maintain suction at the machines that you're hitting with work. Just gotta remember to open them up to allow flow when in use. Good work and awesome setup matt, love to see it!

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks Kyle and you are absolutely correct. I have also ordered some things to help with the air exchange.

[@CastleHives]

Good stuff Matt. . The new "Laaaaaser" area is going to look great. I'm sure when this is all done, you'll be very very happy.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks. Yeah it will be awesome.

[@norbertdavis8903]

Don't forget to support the duct on each side of the fan so that you can remove the fan without the duct flexing too much. Putting a removable coupler between the duct and the fan will aid in any removal of the fan in the future, possibly a flexible connection to stop fan vibration form going into the ductwork itself. Good luck! I'm excited to see what you do there.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks 😃

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Great tour! I have a manufacturing background and am obsessed with flow and bottlenecks; looks like you nailed it. Also love your manifold; just convinced me to also go with 8", although I had to fight the Black Friday propaganda 'cause only 6" was on sale!! Now hang some posters on those garage doors, and back to work, lol.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks. Posters are a good idea

[@Thatguy777-nw6bw]

Gonna miss the little room but congrads on the new location.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

😃 thanks

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Looking good Matt! Can’t wait to see it finished.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks 😃

[@davidelder5399]

Nice set up. Your workshop is looking great. Thanks for sharing in the description the items used 👍

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks 😃 your welcome

[@steinbierz]

Great video! I am putting a 1200 sq. ft. addition onto my shop and am going to move my lasers out there along with finished projects and materials. I like your manifold idea and have some clamp-together ducting left over from installing my dust collection system in the main shop. I think I am going to contact the company to get their thoughts on this as drawing smoke out might be different than drawing sawdust as far as joint tightness. Also, if I decide to go this route, I will have to pick up some 8” ducting/fittings as the biggest I have left over is 6” on down to 3”.

[@cluebin8398]

I love the massive list of links! Thanks!

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Maybe use a filter before the motor to keep motor from getting gummed up. I actually clicked on thumb nail thinking you were setting up a grow room. It takes around 1000 cfm per 10x10 to change the air once a minute with no back pressure. Looks like a nice setup.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

1000cfm wow. Thanks 😃

[@brianewest]

Great video Matt. Do you feel the need to ground the exhaust to help with static in the system?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Nope

[@pathann4195]

Short Ron outside do it with 10" PVC so no issues with hot or cold transfer with 10" to 8" reducer that leaves pressure Reduction on output side makes for even better air output and no condensation

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks 😃

[@jessefurqueron5555]

Have you by chance done a db test on the M-8? If so, mind sharing the results? TIA.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

No I have not

[@stuff4sale279]

Hi Matt, just wanted to say your a big inspiration as a entrepeneur. Wanted to ask you if you use a glycol in your chillers in the winter and if so which type?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks. Nope just distilled water

[@CHRO_KO]

Hey Matt, Nice video. I recently found your channel and subscribed... Question: I just purchased the Thunder Nova 35-100 and I want to know if you are using the 6" inline unit that came with your Thunder along with that M8 fan? Thanks in advance for your awesome reply.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I was down stairs but not in the garage

[@CHRO_KO]

@@laserengravingwithmatt any reason why you aren’t using it now that you’re in the garage?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

No need because it’s a short run of hose but I could

[@CHRO_KO]

@@laserengravingwithmatt ah ok thanks… I wanted to know if it was ok to use both or just use the M8 fan. Take care bud

[@vincewolpert6166]

Nice setup. How are you taking care of exchange air?

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I am currently waiting on a couple of things for that. That would be in a video soon for now I crack a window.

[@gunracksonline]

Get a smart plug to plug blower in and a a echo dot to turn the fan on and off. Alexa turn blower on or off. or remote control outlet.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

That’s a good idea

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks

[@Ricks2Cents]

*Becareful with Moister Creates Black Mold*

[@jamesward1855]

Have a question. Can I exhaust my laser engraver thru the exhaust side of my dust collection. Not running thru the whole dust system. Just the exhaust that goes outside

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I would not recommend that because of all the fine dust because you still have fine dust going out.

[@jamesward1855]

@laserengravingwithmatt7833 so what would you recommend? Just drilled one hole thru my brick wall. Don't want to drill another one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

I would put a tea right before the wall and have exhaust gate on each one so you can close the one to the dust collector so you know no fumes or sparks would go that way running the lasers

[@anthonyedwards8093]

Don’t put a paint booth in the same duct with your big exhaust fan. Unless the exhaust fan is explosion proof, you will have an explosion with the paint vapors without a special explosion proof exhaust fan.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

Thanks I will look into that

[@moparcasey3135]

I’ll bet that fan still has debris in it causing the vibration.

[@glitter_fart]

One of the first things i did was get an exhaust fan, 3 inch, only using single small diode for fun tho.

[@laserengravingwithmatt]

That’s awesome

[@glitter_fart]

the smell of burning leather was way way too much lol @@laserengravingwithmatt
