Howdy Everyone,
I'm very excited to say I've purchased and received my very first laser system from epilog. It was a long time coming but a surprisingly simple process. We ended up going with an Epilog Zing 24 and couldn't be happier.
Now for the difficult part... I've searched the forums extensively for information about exhaust systems and set up. All in all, it seems to be a pretty simple undertaking. What I've not been able to find is any road maps on creating a closed system with exhaust AND supply air ducting. I have an idea in mind but I'd like to know if there are any better ones out there or if a successful supply is even possible. My hope is to isolate the air exhaust and allow our office to stay warm during the grueling Michigan winters. Rather than pumping it all out in a matter of minutes and reaching for my parka and bomber hat.
My own idea is to build a table with a supply ducting system built in. The plan is to build boots to cover the supply vents on the laser itself, a box underneath to connect the boots, and a port in the back to connect to a supply duct from outside. A 3in port will supply the air and a 4in exhaust will pull the vapor (and hopefully smell) back out and away from the house. Not a fully realized concept yet I know, but I wonder if this sparks any ideas or if something similar has already been done. Any photo's, links or HVAC tips would be a huge help.
Kind Regards,
Kevin
