As many of you know, we have had our Glowforge for over a year. We recently started having smoke/exhaust issues, so we called our friend Josh at PNW.MADE. Here is a link to his Instagram account. If you don’t know him, you should!   / pnw.made  
He is a laser cutting master and a super nice dude.

In our call with him, he showed us where all the fans were and the best process he has found to clean them. He also made us aware that his machines ran quiet. Blown away by this idea, we had to upgrade our machine immediately. So, we bought the fan and went to work!
