I now have my carbon/hepa scrubber working and it does a great job of getting rid of the smell in the room. But now I have found out that most of the smell in my shop comes from the parts I take out of the laser, the scraps and the laser itself if I don't clean it immediately after using it.
Are there any room air filters anyone has experience with to get rid of the lingering smells? In the past I always just assumed most of the smell was from the air I was exhausting somehow finding its way back in. But now I am filtering the air and exhausting it right back into the room and there is no smell at all when I am cutting but as soon as I take parts out of the laser the smell come back nearly as strong as it was before I filtered the exhaust. So now I would like to try and remove that smell as well or at least reduce it.
