Hello I recently just got a Laser engraver machine from China specifically XYZ Tech. After a long and hard battle with the software system, I was able to engrave a small acrylic disk, of course with the cost of the room and its neighboring room filled with the acrylic fumes.
I realized that we need to have a fume extractor, after looking at several commercial fume extractor out there we found them to be too expensive for me to purchase. So I am thinking of making my own fume extractor. Currently I am slightly confused to as what type of filter or filters to use.
As it currently stand I am planning to use 2 furnace filter and maybe a layer of activated charcoal to filter the exhaust. I am quite unsure though what grade of filter to use. I was wondering if anyone know what grade of filter would be adequate for filtering out the fumes, do we need a HEPA grade filter or just a standard furnace allergen filter.
Thank you in advance
