I was wondering if there is anything should consider with the laser module. Already planning the air compressor and the Vetric laser add on. But not sure if there is anything else should consider. Do I need any specific fittings/hoses might be needed? Fume extractor maybe. any help/idea/guidance is appreciated!

I’d check through the laser category here. There are folks that have made some fume extraction setups, some honeycomb base panels for through cuts, etc.

I like the ability to take the laser off the machine so I purchased the laser dock pro magnetic docking system.

I’d also strongly recommend some kind of exhaust or fume extraction, especially if you’re cutting plastics or coated materials, since the smoke can build up quickly
