Carbon filter for laser?

[Simon Howes]

Dear Hax,

I remember a while back we were discussing neighbours hatin the smoke the laser cutter makes. I recently got a laser at home and was real worried that my neighbours might similarly hate me. I bought an economy carbon air filter off amazon for about £35 and can confirm - it works amazingly.

The slightest smell of warm rubber when cutting neoprene (which is super smelly normally)
And ...absolutely nothing when cutting acrylic!

The main smell is inside near the laser cutter where smoke escapes the lid...

Maybe we want to drop one of these on?

Hells yeah, if you have a spare, or an Amazon link.

This is the one here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0058HTHRC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 

or if the mail app eats URLS then search amazon for:

Budget Carbon Filter-4"/100mm

£37 for a whole lotta lovin. :)

Happily it doesn't seem to reduce the air-flow all that much either..

But I would still vent to outside.

Hi Simon, do you have a link for the filter @ amazon by any chance?
Thanks!

Getting a tardis for the space is really paying off. such a time saver.
