Hello I’ve had a Falcon A1 with external air extraction and a honeycomb work surface for four weeks now. I’ve engraved and cut a lot of plywood. Since yesterday, the fumes aren’t being extracted properly and are escaping from the front of the machine while the laser is cutting the wood. I’ve cleaned the filter of the air assist pump and replaced the filter of the external extraction system. The problem persists. Does anyone have any solutions or has anyone experienced the same issue? I’m new to lasers and therefore don’t know much about them.
I am having the same issue, came here to see if anyone else has same problem or a solution. I have the A1 pro and can see the enclosure fills with a fair bit of smoke, the filter is definitely getting the majority of the smoke, but enough seeps out that it is uncomfortable and air is a bit hazy.. I found I have the problem with or without the honeycomb.
I’m curious how long between filter changes you can go. I exhaust out through a port in my side garage door and the amount of build up on my fan after one year of use was a lot. Can’t imagine how much went out the port that didn’t stick to the fan or the hose.
Exhausting to the outdoors in a way that does not get pulled back in to your home or other’s is best it seems.
