Laser 03 - Residue on cut bed mesh - No more 12mm Ply for the time being #6

Closed PancakeLegend closed 5 years ago

The cutting of 12mm Poplar Ply from Plyco has produced obvious sticky resin residue on the mesh along all cut lines. A method for cleaning the mesh is required. It also produces a significant smoky smell that lingers for days afterward.

I recommend halting the cutting of 12mm Ply on the cutter until a more easily cleaned grid is available.

Should check the filter and I also have concerns for the optics too.

Mark informs us that the bed mesh material is 303 Stainless and that foaming oven cleaner can be used then washed off to clean the bed.

Oven cleaner works.
