I'd love to know what you find/what you make of the venting system once you take a look at it, could you update us/me when that happens?

Would it also be possible to have a moratorium on using it until the venting is checked out/checked off on? 

Again, tried to just accomplish some software work there yesterday, but it wasn't really possible...

next time I'm there I'll try to give the vent a proper fixing if nobody gets to it first.

I arrived at 8:30 and used the laser cutter. (i made a box yay!). i think i was the second one to use it this evening. before i started i fixed a big tear in the vent duct with what duct tape i could find. though i didn't find a roll of it (I'm new here).

it wasn't too smoky as i was using it, though i could still smell it. if there's more duct tape applied i think it will do wonders for the air quality. when i arrived, i suspect nearly all the smoke would have been going into the room.

I agree with your assessment and would like to see sufficient ventilation implemented. What is the status of the blowers? What is the flow rate of fumes through the duct and out of the building?

hi everyone,

I'm starting to work at sudo again (after a very long hiatus) (mostly evenings, 6-12, m-f). I'm currently working on some game, ai and architecture stuff, you can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CelEcmAlsaq/ Very pumped to get back in the space and see what people are working on and doing.

Nonetheless, I have some concerns about the laser cutter. Today, the laser cutter was being used, and, well, it, to my mind, smelled up sudo pretty significantly. I think you could also even smell out in the hall. I guess what I'd like to know is (a.) can we prevent this somehow? and/or (b.) can we have a laser cutter moratorium until we know why this is happening? 

I could be wrong, but I believe that improper ventilation of a laser cutter can be both long-term toxic and even short term life-threatening (if someone is cutting something really wacky, which I don't think is what was happening today; I think someone was just cutting wood, hopefully not laminated in any weird way).

Anyway, yeah, I have to defer to people smarter than me on the above, but something was off today in the way the machine was working (this was about 6pm); and, personally, I found it kind of spooky. Thanks for your thoughts/help/ideas/etc.

Best,
AK
