Ordered Materials For My Laser Engraver Vent Hood
[ Sunday May 24th 2020 at 4:00 pm ]

Over the past few days I've revised and refined my plan for making a vent hood for my laser engraver. I've put together a creative solution:

  • Using ½" PVC electrical conduit for the frame
  • Using ½" PVC potable water elbows and tees for the frame corners
  • Using PVC primer for a strong bond between the 2 styles of PVC
  • Using a transparent shower curtain for the sides and top of the vent hood
  • Using a pair of hinges and latch for a door that will let me insert wood for etching
  • Using 3 green house ventilation fans and HVAC duct work for exhausting the air

Although I need to wait for until June 5th 2020 for the latch for closing the door where I'll insert and remove the wood I have a plan. I can occupy myself with other chores between now and then.
