never seems to end with me, does it? We are moving our shop, and at the new place, I'd like to try something else. The set-up I have now is totally deafening. That's not the problem, though.
The problem has always been losing suction as the 6" exhaust pipe run from the engraver has been up and out the roof, about 18'. I'd like to try this, if you guys think it might be feasible. Why can't I have two exhausts from the two ports, that then will "empty" into a "container"? Kinda like what wood workers do?
I have an epilog legend EXT, 24"x 36" bed, and it's been a challenge to have enough power to exhaust. Since we added a blower right behind the machine, that then connects to the pipe for the roof-top exhaust, things have been better. But the noise is bad, and at the new shop, I'd like to avoid holes in the roof, and holes in the wall. Is this even possible? Could the two blowers suck into the container, which I could then clean out periodically/regularly? I do lamicoids, acrylics and some wood.
Thanks in advance for any brighter ideas.
