Hi guys,
I know there are a few posts around (along with tons of YT vids regarding this) but I need another solution, that the DIY fume extractor.
So heres the background:
I have been searching high and low for a decent place to setup shop, but no luck. So I thought that i would keep it at home. However, I live in a flat, so at the time I was thinking about getting a fume extractor. But the more I looked into it, the more $$$ it seemed to cost.
So today I actually had a epiphany and noticed a hole in my kitchen (we arent able to have an extractor hood in the kitchen, something to do with the building being old) which usually "vents" out smoke and stuff after cooking. So I thought to my self. "That would be the optimal place to vent out from the laser".
To give you an idea about the layout of the kitchen ( i have attached a picture of the layout)

NB: the height of the room is 8.43 ft.
So what I was thinking, was to run ducting from the laser and opwards to the cealing, along side the wall and then plug the duct into the "vent" hole, thus venting out above the apartment (above the roof) and not out of the windows.
Only thing is. I need to figure out how I actually should pull it off and which kind fan, I would need to make sure the air gets pulled well enough from the laser and pushed through the system and out the hole.
Is there anyone that could give me a few pointers or atleast let me know if this is even possible to accomplish?
Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated
