You might want to add a fan to the exhaust. If you get a breeze against that wall, you could get enough backpressure to force the nasties from the laser into your space.
I'm impressed every time I watch one of your videos. I'm a librarian for a middle school and currently developing our makerspace. We have an impressive 1100 students that will be using the space. I'm hoping to branch out to a laser cutter. Great work, thank you for inspiring and sharing!
As someone who has two lasers I really appreciate this video, would love to see a whole series on making stuff with your new laser. Not all of us are retired house mom crafters, I bought mine to make cool stuff and sometime I need inspiration.
Hi Alexandre! I've worked in fabrication labs quite a bit with lasercutters. I saw you used mesh in your glued on air tubes. That made me give you this tip: Don't use MDF ever for laser cutting. It will clog up your tubes and mesh really fast. When you laser cut it, it's basically smoky- wooddust glue.
That much distance without an added fan is pushing it anyway but after a few months, that screen will be getting seriously clogged cutting your air volume even more. With the screen clogged any possible leak in the shutoff will be pouring smoke. The exit om mine has one-way flappers that lets air out but not in.
Good video. Suggestion, move the fan as close to the exit thru the wall as possible. You want to have a negative pressure in the hose instead of a positive pressure, since the positive pressure will cause leakage of the toxic fumes into the room
They are pretty high energy, but I like them and him. Just found the channel. Seems like a genuine guy. Also very talented and creative. Wish I had the money for a workspace and tools like that.
@7:35 you've once again showed why you deserve every single sub you have. Good on you for not fucking with a temporary inconvenience that nature threw your way. Unfortunately, there are so many that would've handled that in a disappointingly different way.
Nice build and nice review. But there is something important to refer regarding this kind of machines, there's a power loss across the cutting table (manufacturers don't like to talk about this). A video idea: Jig to avoid laser flashback. Cheers!
Tip: on the drawing templates, also engrave center lines. On the under side. It really helps when drawing concentric circles. Of course you also need to draw center lines on the drawing for it to work. :)
Hey Alexandre! Nice set up. I got the same machine today in the mail and I was wondering if you have available the vacum hose adapter. I dont have space either at the back of the machine. Thanks
Little tip for the 3D printed air connector, if you add something to make it a 45 degree angle (or a smooth curve) your airflow will significantly increase :)
I am in the US and been trying to find quality poplar plywood for my laser cutter. Can't seem to find much other than subfloor material. Any suggestions? Birch is everywhere. Also, you didn't mask your boards and managed to avoid blowback, how was that possible? Is that also a characteristic of the popular?
Cool. Seriously, right? These projects keep getting bigger! So, shop suggestion: Jack Crane (sometimes called a "cherry picker" or "engine hoist") This might even be an interest build project?
Great project video Alex! I need to start using super glue more... I've not ever used it with an accelerator catalyst. I'll need to see where I can get some here in Australia.
I was just about to post that you didn't show how the mitter saw fits beneath it and then the last 4 seconds happened :P Great job dude! Love all your videos! Greetings from Argentina!
Can you use the laser cutter with other software or just the included one? I guess it takes care of which layers to cut and which to engrave etc. As a tip, with laser cut design you need to bear in mind two factors: 1) Leave some small tabs (around 1-2 mm ) if you don't want the pieces to fall out when pulling the sheet off. Specially if you plan on selling or shipping laser cut things. This size they'll sand quite easily. 2) The cut is not perpendicular, it's a cone of laser. So the cuts are beveled. With this kind of laser cuter (and thicknesses) it isn't too severe, but don't rely too on a single cut edge for perpendicularity! Nice machine, especially for free :p
Hi! I'd like to buy the plans for your fume extractor "valve" a file where you can select different wood thicknesses and hole diameters for the hoses would be awesome
Could have painted the wall behind the outlet 🙈😜 But the new lasercutterstoragesystem you built is really cool. 👍🏻💪🏻 Looking forward to see what you’ll cut
Amazing! I have the beambox and love mine. I can't wait to see what you make with it. May I ask your settings for acrylic? I'm using P35% S7. Awesome videos!!
Isn’t that one tiny extractor fan going to really struggle to blow round a very tight narrowed corner then through a much longer pipe and more corners?
Since it's attached to an external vent, I think it's going to work well enough. Air will naturally want to move outside due to the lower pressure, so all the fan REALLY has to do is clear out the laser chamber itself! I wouldn't necessarily trust that tiny fan for a miter saw or something, but such a small machine should be just fine
It will be fine. The only purpose of it is to move the smoke out of the laser chamber; for that even a tiny fan is okay. Just like when you blow a candle and you see the smoke moving with a tiny blow of your hand, as it is so light and easy to move. In case the smell is stronger and heavier (often cutting PETG, some acrylics) you can still attach an extra fan somewhere along the pipe to help to move the air out quicker :)
Oh man i think i want one of those now :D - would be sweet for making jigs for milling or plasma cutting!! but every machine i buy will lead to needing more machines.. its a horrible addiction 😭
under the shelf above the laser cutter put a smoke alarm. You are meant to stay next to the machine whilst it works, but in truth you find yourself doing other jobs.
@@holmenadventurecamp not saying it‘s a waste of time, I‘d rather say it‘s a waste of his talent as designer and creator. Restoration is for craftsmen such as my mechanics. With the goal to RESTORE original condition, a designer is the wrong choice.
@@TheE9climber Ow must have mixed up fundamental talent and just talent. Didnt know they were mutual exclusive? Some times when i truly enjoy "content", i become abit slow in the "old oil pump".
@@holmenadventurecamp pointless. Just trying to say, everyone should do what he‘s best at. Alex‘s time sure has limits such as ours so why not do what he‘s best at?
Did you really need to motors to lift that thing? Maybe it would’ve been a better idea to use the second motor for extra height and have more reasonable access to the saw underneath.
Also something to add to the plywood vs poplar topic - unless you get some really good quality arctic birch ply, most of the stuff you buy will have heaps of pockets and voids, where gas and heat can build up inside and cause fires, so be careful everyone!

The density of information and amazing tips in this edit is INSANE. This is a triumph in terms of presentation, filming, and editing. What a beast.
What a talented dude. Personality ✅ Creativity ✅ Craftsmanship ✅ Film Making ✅ Keep it up!

Shop infrastructure builds are the best. This is amazing!
The lift table is such a great idea. Amazing work!

Picked myself up a K40 a few weeks ago. LOVE having it as a part of the shop.
I learn so much just by watching you making stuff! Keep up the awesome work!
Man you deserve soo many more subscribers. Keep up the good work
Love the way you cut the video and your content overall. Keep up the good work!

I love it. He gets a new machine and the his first thought it "Yes, more shelves"
Excellent compact storage project!
Love it! 🙌😎
.. I might use the idea for some other tools 😁
J.jj kk
The poplar wood info was a gem.
Nice build and nice review. But there is something important to refer regarding this kind of machines, there's a power loss across the cutting table (manufacturers don't like to talk about this).
A video idea: Jig to avoid laser flashback.
Cheers!
Great video! This is my favorite channel on yt honestly. I'm always so happy when a new video comes out because I know it's going to be great.
I am continually impressed by your clever space saving designs. The laser is awesome! Looking forward to seeing your next level projects. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

I love your enthusiasm. What size laser cutter? 40w or 50w? And if it is the 40w, do you wish you had the bigger laser and working area?
I enjoy every single bit of his videos. Keep up the great work.
What a sick new tool
Your videos continue to impress and inspire me to do some projects like you have done myself. Keep up the great work! Look forward to your next video!
Hey Alexandre! Nice set up. I got the same machine today in the mail and I was wondering if you have available the vacum hose adapter. I dont have space either at the back of the machine.
Thanks
Great video! Such a good idea for the 3d printed part for the exhaust fan! Will you upload that model too?
Cool cabinet!
Alexandre mate, you continue to amaze me! The way you make your videos with so much passion is impressive! Keep it up :)
Man, how do you manage to get your workshop even nicer everytime???
Little tip for the 3D printed air connector, if you add something to make it a 45 degree angle (or a smooth curve) your airflow will significantly increase :)
Awesome build as always. I wonder, did you have ever any problems with the power consumption of your machines, or how do you manage it ?
Love it A. Great project.
You have done some of the most interesting design and builds. I’m in aww of ur talent. I share your videos with friends. Keep up the great work!
It's only a matter of time before we get the videos of you moving into a bigger location.
Common for Makers like yourself. Can't wait to see more!
Good idea for a X-carve as well!

Also, you didn't mask your boards and managed to avoid blowback, how was that possible? Is that also a characteristic of the popular?
God sommer Alexandre, keep up your good work….☀️💪😎
Awesome. It would look cool if you filled the engravings on your cylinder templates with black nail polish or something to make them more visible
Which song have you used in the background? Loved the build, Alex you are a frequent watch from me and an inspiration, I'm a 14 yr old woodworker 😊
Could you give some details on that adjustable table. Thanks.
Your elevator idea for the laser in ingenious: building a 90w 6090 currently and will integrate that idea, thank you.
Your videos are always so good!
Pretty impressive work, Alexandre! Fantastic! 😃
I want one of those!!! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cool. Seriously, right? These projects keep getting bigger!
So, shop suggestion: Jack Crane (sometimes called a "cherry picker" or "engine hoist")
This might even be an interest build project?
Great video. Could this machine cut 3mm glass?
Laser cutters can’t cut glass. They are transparent to the laser wavelength also.
Great project video Alex! I need to start using super glue more... I've not ever used it with an accelerator catalyst. I'll need to see where I can get some here in Australia.
Nicly done. Also I want a free laser cnc ;)
Me too :)
Me too 😂
Now that would be brilliant to have one of those and a 3D printer to, wow my imagination is doing overtime
King 💎 your creativity is unmatched Alex!
I was just about to post that you didn't show how the mitter saw fits beneath it and then the last 4 seconds happened :P Great job dude! Love all your videos! Greetings from Argentina!

That's amazing
Hi Alex! Do you know if you can cut 1/4" (6.35mm) HDF with the Beambox Pro? The tempered hardboard kind of stuff?
did you cut the plexi/acrylic piece in one pass?
Jeah :)
That laser machine looks soooooooo nice.
Ur great dude. Appreciate your work 😎👌
Hi, Alex nice stuff, what is the name of your 3d printer?
Can it cut PBT? Try using it to engrave letters on keycaps.
What is the wood type you recommend to use for laser cutting? Thanks!
patiently waiting for glass making
5:20 "Workshop Bouldering with Alexandre"
Great video. GJ
Excelentes videos, He visto casi todos tus videos, me das ideas para crear cosas en mi casa, saludos desde México
Johoo, Awesome work :D
Hi! I'd like to buy the plans for your fume extractor "valve" a file where you can select different wood thicknesses and hole diameters for the hoses would be awesome
Were you cutting that poplar in a single pass or multiple passes?
Hi I reeeeeally love your videos!!! - you mentioned few times you learnt few things at school - what kind of courses/ classes did you take?
Could have painted the wall behind the outlet 🙈😜
But the new lasercutterstoragesystem you built is really cool. 👍🏻💪🏻 Looking forward to see what you’ll cut
Remember to use the memory settings for the lift. That way you can just hit the button and walk away.
Amazing! I have the beambox and love mine. I can't wait to see what you make with it.
May I ask your settings for acrylic? I'm using P35% S7.
Awesome videos!!
doesn't it have a preset setting?
OMFG i don't understand how i keep missing your videos every frikin single time even after turning all notification ,I'm soo pissed

do you have file for the "fancy" air connector at the back? Can't find it in the shop.
Impressive
Is there any chance the files for the 3d printed fan duct will be released? :)
10 seconds in and excited for what you're up to!
Oh man i think i want one of those now :D - would be sweet for making jigs for milling or plasma cutting!! but every machine i buy will lead to needing more machines.. its a horrible addiction 😭
Doesnt need the laser whater cooling?
This is beyond cool :D
Pretty damn cool

Nice setup 👍 Are you still using the same laser?
Hey Hey, Alexandre Chappel do you have the 3D printer files for the drill-powered scooter? What 3D printer plastic did you use? Thank you! -H
Thats super cool Alex, about time for a restaration maybe?

Hello Alex,
i love your table saw, could you tell me the ,,name“ of it, so i could buy it for my workshop?

The track saw is a bosch gkt55
Those are some cute birds! Wonder if there's any space to make a birdhouse for them? :P
