Hi and thanks for the advice! From what I can see, unfortunately, these products are not available for the Swedish market. What is the thickness of the two different filters you replaced?
Hi Yohann, thanks for your comment! Looks like the kind I get is 1 inch thick... Called Premium Aquarium Filter Pad Roll, Cut to Fit 12" by 72", Micron Fiber Filtration Media for Freshwater, Saltwater Aquariums, Koi Ponds, Fish Tanks, Reefs - Clean Crystal Clear Water Brand: Master Pet Supply
Do you have anything covering the back? I see a lot of pictures on Xtool showing another hose hooked up to that and going... somewhere else- the picture never shows. But do you do anything with that if you're not venting outside?
Thanks for your comment! No I currently don't however some people add a hose there to vent outside or into another external filtering type setup. The fumes /smoke are already filtered by the time they get there. I don't vent outside currently. Only use this filter.
Thanks for your comment. I don't vent outside. I exhaust directly into the purifier and no smell unless the filters get super dirty. Just have to replace pre-filter every week or so if using often most days... Works great
Thanks! I have a couple of questions about the purifier and P2. Does your filter clog up extremely fast? (ie - I've gone through 2 filters in less than a week and I've only run 27 jobs). Also, do you get any smoke leakage from your P2? I feel that whether I vent it to the outside or into the purifier I smell the smoke really bad. I've checked all of the seals but I feel like its leaking from somewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi John, thanks for your comment! To answer your question, how fast it fills up depends on what you're cutting / engraving. I mainly engrave wood and my filter last me around 3 months or so with moderate use (maybe 30-50 jobs per month). Pre-filter is key and changing that out every week or so also helps greatly. If smelling alot of smoke, I would add some HVAC tape around the exhaust port / any exhaust connection points to try and mitigate any leakage.
Great video, i am debating getting the air purifier for my S1 but many seem to have a different take on how affective it is. Ideally a Filtrabox would be better but is far more $$
Thanks for your comment! Yes, the necessity for a air purifier is dependent on where you are running the laser machines for sure. For the money, this particular unit has worked out well for me and think its a good value for what it does.
Great information, my filter clogged after 3 jobs. We switched to the extra filter and had the same problem. The smoke filled the entire room and I could taste it. I’m anxious to get more practice using my lazer but can’t use it until we get it vented outside so now I’m out the $700.00 that the purifier cost.
Were your jobs doing some serious lifting on birch ply or something? Because I work with straight hardwood and it's lasting me weeks at a time. If you're gumming it up with acrylic, glue from the ply, etc. I can't imagine it would last long, but for folks doing hardwood engraving it's amazing.
@@alexorhuxley I’m using 1/4” birch plywood and switched to and inline fan but after a couple of projects it smokes up my space. We’re thinking that the exhaust hose needs to be shortened and vented straight out without slack in it. My p2 is in my quilt store so smoke is a no no.
Thanks for your comment. Hmmm... Not sure why this would be unless you're cutting some really nasty stuff. I use mine, for my business, 5 days a week for 2-4 hours per day and need to change out filter about once a quarter. Now I DO change out the pre-filter every week so I'm sure that helps
Thank you for this great information. I am going to try it. I appreciate the helpful hint.
Hi Julie, I'm glad I can help. Been using this technique for almost 2 years and works great...Really prolongs the life of the filters..

Great video! Is there still smell after filtering outside? Does it bother the neighbors?

Glad to see this. I felt the same way. Its clogged after like 15 jobs here. I will try this prefilter hack and see how it goes.

@@magnoliaoakswoodshop I went ahead and purchased it, seems to work good. Thanks again

How does it handle cast acrylic? The fumes are beyond real!
