xToolM1 : Create a Clear Weatherproof Window Insert for Venting Laser Cutter Exhaust Fumes Outside

Laser cutter exhaust fumes can be vented via a special filter machine but it's best to vent to the outside. This tutorial shows you how a clear window insert can be created for convenient venting without letting in rain, snow or cold air during colder months or losing air conditioning in the summer. This demonstration is for a casement window but you can certainly adapt the idea for other kinds of windows.
