Day 2 of testing and I had to create a way to control the smoke. I started by developing a base for the soon to be enclosure using the F3 Matrix panel that Atomstack sent me to try out. I am not sure they were aware of how well this thing works for downdraft tables. I also have some extra storage for items built in.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Love the downdraft, pass-thru, and ez-mod/upgrade to full enclosure. This just might be the ticket for my L2. Way to hit all the right buttons!

@TheClackShack 8 месяцев назад

Thanks

I was doing some brainstorming today and I think I may use 2X6's for the base so the rotary fits below the grid. I am not as talented as you but can jury rig things, I upload a photo when I get it together. I also like the idea of being able to place a longer item under the bottoms of the rails expand the project possibilities, great idea. Love your videos and the Sunday night live session. Keep up the good work.

@TheClackShack 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, I am sure you will get it working

@minnesotamaker1846 Год назад

The reason I started watching you was your jig file ideas. You have since come up with many more great ideas. I like the way you think.

@TheClackShack Год назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@robcarnaroli269 Год назад

That's brilliant. That solves my issue of my DIY chuck not fitting under the laser module like my roller setup does.

@TheClackShack Год назад

Glad you like it..

@dangerous8333 Год назад

Very nice 👍 I have a downdraft welding table at my shop. Coming from a metal fabrication background fume extraction was my top priority. I have my laser in my office at home so I had that handled before my machine arrived. I just completed my set-up. I also ended up with 2x4's as a base, cheapest option I could come up with so I can do rotary projects. I have (4) 2x4's screwed together in pairs that I can take in and out of my enclosure, instead of a permanent base like yours. My enclosure is a Creality 3d printer enclosure I already had, turned sideways (works better for this than as a 3d printer enclosure). It's the fully sealed canvas one for $60-$80. Works great. I don't even plan to make one now. Fits the Falcon 2 perfectly btw. With the $29 Amazon duct fan going out a window I can stand right next to it and not smell a thing. I do plan to make a table similar to yours though. If you're planning to offer the plans on your site I would probably get those. I could recreate it but would rather support you for your efforts. 👍

I like this set-up better than a complete enclosure.

@TheClackShack Год назад

I have plans to expand it into a complete enclosure soon. Just working out the rest of the design

@johnmay371 Год назад

I just have to say your channel is great! I appreciate the detail you go into.

@TheClackShack Год назад

I appreciate that!

@jimshackelford4267 10 месяцев назад

Clack, you always come up with great ideas, can you show more details of the edges where the grid lays in, and some of the other areas of the top close up.

@TheClackShack 10 месяцев назад

It is literally a hole that is the size of the work surface. The two pieces on the sides sit on the edge.

@jonwoodworker Год назад

I love the down draft table concept.

@TheClackShack Год назад

It works

@LandandLens Год назад

You have developed a great tool with the downdraft base.

@TheClackShack Год назад

This is my 3 rd version of the design but it seems to be the best one so far.

@shawnbowman8630 Год назад

Can I download this file to make the down draft base?

@Rhondagreen1966 Год назад

I love your design. I have COPD and I believe I could be around this machine.

@TheClackShack Год назад

Once enclosed, it will be even better.

@chucklenz9011 Год назад

Always thinking….I guess that’s the Clactical way!

@TheClackShack Год назад

Guess so..

@MrBdub16 6 месяцев назад

You have the plans for that box? Love the idea. I'd like to make it for mine.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

No, Just made a 2x4 box with a vent. Sorry

@camarogs1 Год назад

The disadvantage I see with the Matrix cutting panel is that it is made from aluminum. If that is the case, then magnets will no longer work to hold down a piece of plywood that is warped. I like using magnets but I also like the Matrix F3 and am going to buy one I just have to figure out another way to hold down warped wood.

@TheClackShack Год назад

It does come with some bars that can be attached to the sides but I prefer not to use them. I avoid warped wood. Even if using hold downs, the cut piece can spring up and hit the laser head.

@MsWamhoff Год назад

The honeycomb atonstack sells is made of metal and magnets work. it also comes with brackets to hold material.

@camarogs1 Год назад

@@MsWamhoff Hi Florida Krista, the F3 is made from aluminum according to their website specs.

@MsWamhoff Год назад

@@camarogs1 Then why did magnets come with my Honeycomb? I dont know what they are for then.

@camarogs1 Год назад

@@MsWamhoff Hi Krista, atomstack F3 is not honeycomb. Look it up to see how it is built.

@darrelmiddleton Год назад

Hey Clack as usual, awesome work. Will you be making the jig available on your Etsy shop? Also the exhaust table, do you think that would work inside to not only deal with the smoke, but the fumes as well?

@TheClackShack Год назад

Yea, The jig will be headed that way after a few more test burns. It seems to help with it all. Once I add the walls it should be better.

@MsWamhoff Год назад

Very excited for the jig... Waiting for it to start some projects.

@wildpaulwall Год назад

Mind sharing what fan you got? I've got a 4inch hvac fan but suction isn't very strong.

@TheClackShack Год назад

This one is just a vivosun 4 inch. It is my older fan from a previous build. amzn.to/41C9t3Z I recently swapped my large enclosure over to a haun&guan 4 inch that seems to work a little better. amzn.to/3MzGvgv the haun is much easier to clean and seems to pull more air.

@prc37388 Год назад

Have you noticed the slop in the laser module on the Z axis? Mine is not precise at all. Just a gripe, definitely not a dealbreaker on the speed and power of the machine .

@TheClackShack Год назад

No, haven’t noticed any

@prc37388 Год назад

@@TheClackShack it only when adjusting the height it’s loose and when tightening it cants the module at an ever so slight angle. It’s not been an issue for my needs so far but check it and see. It may only be mine as it was one of the first units made bought on pre order.

@TheClackShack Год назад

@@prc37388 , the dove tail in a little loose if you tighten the knob too much it can cause a bit of a movement. As long as it stays secure, shouldn't be an issue.

@demonioblanco772 Год назад

have you done an engraving on "sterling Silver" rings for example... video?? can you send me a link if you have =)

@TheClackShack Год назад

No, engraving metal requires a fiber laser. You can mark some metals with marking spray but I have never tried anything but stainless. Stainless is the only metal that I am aware of that can be marked without spray.

@Chucka1463 Год назад

What is the CFM of the fan?

@TheClackShack Год назад

It claims to be 195 cfm. amzn.to/3nVy5pz

@MsWamhoff Год назад

There is a file to make the rotary work better.. kind of a jig for the rotary.

@TheClackShack Год назад

I am aware, I build jig files. I have a squaring reference built in the bottom of the box.

@traviscagle9807 12 дней назад

Do you have plans for this somewhere?

@TheClackShack 12 дней назад

No, just a 2x4 board box and some plywood

@dangerous8333 Год назад

I got the Matrix bed today. I hate it. Very flimsy. Not level, tie down brackets are garbage. Total afterthought. If I did keep it I would have to 3d print something else. Hanging on to my honeycomb bed. It's half the price, perfectly level with the magnetized 3D printed feet I made. I can use magnets to hold my work down like my welding table, far superior. I will make a downdraft table for it after solving a design issue I thought I would have. I honestly think the honeycomb will have better airflow in a downdraft configuration than the Matrix bed. Planning to make a debris catcher like a toaster oven. I have something similar on my plasma table. So clean up should be even easier than the Matrix. Reading some other comments on other channels, some people have been having issues with it. Wood pieces falling inside and sticking up and the laser module hitting it.

@TheClackShack Год назад

I am happy with the results so far, I do see the potential for pieces to flip but so far no issues. Mine seems pretty rigid especially when supported in the base.
