    Thank you for sharing your ideas. I’m a retired dust / fume extraction engineer whose hobby is woodworking. I have just purchased a diode laser recently but have not used it yet. I am learning Lightburn and researching on enclosures for the unit and happened to come across your video. One of my main considerations was to concentrate the air extraction where it would be needed rather than just generally ventilating the enclosure. And your method fits what I’m looking for. My goal is to provide a downdraught inside the enclosure but to provide large enough openings to reduce the back pressure on the extraction fan. You have given me food for thought, thank you.

    I bought the ATOMSTACK A20 Pro Laser Engraver and your videos have helped me dial it in. Still a large learning curve with Lightburn but I'm getting there. Doing a lot of ceramic tile engraving with Titanium Dioxide. Had a big order for a biker poker run. Made over 300 bucks doing some work for them. Keep up the good tutorials.

    I'm hoping to receive the atomstack a 70 max sometime in July. I am currently designing an enclosure for it.I plan to incorporate much of what I have learned from your many videos.thank you so much.

    Great ideas for an enclosure. I plan on using a large kitchen cabinet as a start. I like the down draft idea.
    It would be an interesting video on how you clean that honeycomb. Would love to see some ideas.
    Thanks again.

      Oven cleaner and high pressure water. Then dry

    OK, Master Clack - first off, your video "Considerations when building a diode laser enclosure " is Perfect for what I need today as I am going forward building an enclosure for my new Falcon 2. Not only am I building an enclosure but I am also adding more ventilation - almost 300 cfm - as well as connecting to my air compressor. My question today is at time stamp 5:38 you were showing us the material BELOW the honeycomb that has the welding magnets spacing the Honeycomb. What is that material???
    Thanks for your time.

    I'm looking to buy a laser engraver early 2025, it will be my 1st. I do woodworking and would like to add some customization with the laser. My budget is in the $700 to $800 range. I live in the Huntsville area, good to see you're from Alabama also. Would you have any suggestions?

    • @TheClackShack
      @TheClackShack  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For that budget, you are gonna wanna look at 20 watt or lower machines. Atomstack, Acmer and Longer are good brands in that range.

    Thank you for sharing. Great enclosure for a Laser. Love the second one also. Do you use a charcoal filter or any other in the vacuum system? Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

      @TheClackShack  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, I live in a very rural area and my shop is far from other people. Just vent outside. I do stay away from known hazardous materials.

    When we build an enclosure like that, do we need the Vintauri's Workshop sticker for the inside, too?

    new to this laser thing. don't have one yet but researching to see what i want. Do you have a video on how you build your down draft system? I think that is an awesome idea !
    great video ! thanks

      Yes, I have moved over to 4 or 6 inch fans because they are much quieter. All venting needs to go outside.

    Consideration #1: fireproof material since this thing is literally intended to burn things, particularly wood.

      The laser area is metal.
