We have been using our Versalaser for about 18 months. We use it with the fume extraction cart. We have just started to use it again after the summer. The smell when using the machine recently has been aweful, and certainly gave me a headache. We have been cutting 2mm clear acrylic. To try to improve things, we have cleaned the grid, washed out the hose and replaced the carbon filter. The other filter has not indicated that it needs to be replaced so we have left it in the meantime. It still smells aweful.
One thought that I had was to extract the output from the cart out of the building. This is bound to solve the problem (isn't it?). If we do so, do we need to follow the instructions on your "Notes on laser fume/particle extraction or can we just run a long (10m) 75mm flexible venting hose to the outside world.
Your thoughts?
