Lasercutter fume exhaust - filters and cleaning them

[Dan Hintz]

Hi,
What is the construction of your original filtration system? Did you build it yourself? What is it made out of? Metal? Wood? Etc..
I'm needing a filtration box to remove odor because the neighbors are complaining. I have a good idea of what filters to use and what order they go in, but I don't know how to build the box.
Thanks!

Thanks for the plans on the DIY fume extractor. I was thinking about building one, but I am concerned about the possibility of it catching fire if a spark ever passed through the exhaust. I currently vent outside, but I seem to blow all my conditioned air (hot or cold) right out of the shop. Makes for an expensive MN winter.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks again,
Adam
