Clean the laser cutter after use

Please clean the laser cutter after you have used it so you don’t leave it in this condition for the next user.
Also if you are going to leave it in this condition don’t leave the PC logged into your email account.

Thanks
David

@lasers - this is stressed several times in your induction. This sort of mess turns a small fire into a large one that can damage the machine. Please sweep out the laser cutter before and after use.

Not sure if you cleaned it out when you took the picture @david but if you didn’t there are some colourful remains this morning as well

It seems blatantly obvious it’s not being cleaned, when i’ve been in there the back vents are nearly completely blocked with dirt, and the I have noticed the air flow over the laser bed is pretty poor too.

Seems like it’s time for some annual maintenance?

I had brushed out the vents when I used it as some of them were pretty clogged but a proper spring clean would probably be helpful. Definitely not my bits left there - no heart shapes in my work.
