Laser cutter filter

Used the laser cutter this morning and the filter unit beeped and showed a message about replacing filter and had red error light, I took photo of message. This normal / acceptible? <img src="//slms-discourse.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/1/17242a0ca329d5d9e6320c217e95fc86b566363d.JPG" width=“281” height="50>

Yeah, it needs a good old clean out (but is going to be ultimately replaced by vents to the outside)

@joeatkin2, could you bring your compressor down at the weekend?

Will be there tonight you will have to get a hose

The guy at trotec took it out and gave it av good shake IIRC

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m going to do. Just with air.

@peter_hellyer Please be extremely careful the fumes captured in that are extremely bad for you PMMA, MDF and Plywood…

The filter is not meant to be reused, the fact that it has clogged up so fast is worrying, it wasn’t near 100% and now it is…?

Isn’t it a timer?

Possibly.

sure thing. I was gojng to go do this outside and with the heavy duty gas mask on. Possibly inside the permavan, into a bucket of water.

I meant also the people around you down wind.

Sure, this is what mr bucket is for.
