After shamelessly plagiarizing off Eric, Jim and laser beds from others, I wanted to add a smoke boot to eat smoke. It is a 3D print from MakerWorld I printed out of PTEG. I don’t think it will get too hot but if it does, I will reprint out of ASA.
Activated carbon air filter - Free 3D Print Model - MakerWorld
I lined it with some old window screen because the activated charcoal crumbles as I drop it, kick it, move it, etc. It doesn’t seem to create a lot of backpressure and works real well for engraving. next up is cutting a fair amount of 1/4in ply. That will be the real smoke test.
My change to the laser bed was to just use magnets in the bed and attach the plastic hose adapter to the hose and screw it to a piece of wood with magnets. That left the bottom of the laser bed flat for storage.
Will report back after I do some cutting. That really lets the smoke out of the wood.
