Ideal room temerature for laser engraver?

[Slavko Nikolic]

Hi,

Your opinion, what's the ideal room temperature for laser engraver?

Thanks

[Rodne Gold]

Well , there is an operator to consider too - so normal room temp should be comfortable for both - 68-70f

68-70 degrees are a bit cold for me but this temperature could be on the high side for computer and lasers

[Mike Null]

I keep my engraving room at normal room temperatures, 68-75F.

[Joe Pelonio]

I prefer closer to 65 for myself, if I can manage that the laser is happy too.

I work for a large company and our AC unit went down about 2 weeks ago when it was 110deg outside (Palm Springs) and got up to about 95 inside, I tried running a small job but the laser shut itself down after a few minutes so I figured I better not try to push it. This time of year in the desert it's already 85-90 when I start in the morning, the boss doesn't like to leave the AC less than 88 at night so I try to wait until the room temp is at down to at least 80 before I start running the machine.

Hi Our trotect speedy 300 is in a air conditioned Telecoms room at 19 degrees Celsius or 66.2 degrees Fahrenheit (for over the ponders) and laserite (uk)
use us as an example of how to look after thier machines to prospective customers.

Thanks to all of you... it's been helpful.

One more thing... do you recommend some additional cooling of laser engraver? I mean, direct cooling of laser tube with some direct external cooler which could blow directly in the part of machine where the laser tube is set.

[Rodne Gold]

I would only add extra cooling if you actually have a problem with the tube overheating , otherwise I would just use it. We have a lot of lasers in my workshop that is not heated or cooled , temps vary between about 50 to 90+ during the year , we have no issues at all running like that.
