The Glowforge Inline Fan Setup is a VERY popular subject! It's the perfect way to make your Glowforge much, much quieter as well as cleaner since a good inline fan sucks the air and particles out of the Glowforge much more efficiently.
Today, let's talk about how to get one set up and what the best way of doing it is!
My setup:
AC Infinity S6 Cloudline (Canada): tinyurl.com/du...
AC Infinity S6 Cloudline (US): tinyurl.com/ud...
AC Infinity 6" duct hose (Canada): tinyurl.com/3r...
AC Infinity 6" duct hose (US): tinyurl.com/y4...
AC Infinity 6" damper (Canada): tinyurl.com/c9...
AC Infinity 6" damper (US): tinyurl.com/7a...
Window seal (Canada): tinyurl.com/3c...
Window seal (US): tinyurl.com/4y...
Window duct cover w/ insect mesh (Canada): tinyurl.com/2u...
Window duct cover w/ insect mesh (US): tinyurl.com/5d...
The adapter is no longer available unfortunately but there are some available on Etsy if you search for "Glowforge exhaust adapter".

Loving your vids mate, I’m on the cusp of getting a Glowforge as they’ve just opened a supplier here in the uk. I’m devouring as much information as I can about the equipment and setups etc… subscribed 👍 Keep em coming 😃👍

Cheers! I really appreciate the support and have fun creating with your Glowforge!!

Just a handy tip if you don't have an adapter that fits your hose perfectly. I see a lot of 3D printed ones that address this problem and I see a lot of videos of people using ugly aluminum tape by the pound. Don't tape it AFTER you connect, tape the male adapter end BEFORE with blue painters tape. The simple answer to most of these misfitting hose to coupler is just build up about 1/4" of blue painters tape on the male end of any duct adapter, now slide the hose over the tape and, poof, perfect fit. In many case, don't worry about the clamps, just put enough blue tape on the adapter to it fits super snug, but if you want to clamp, you have this nice semi solid seal of the blue tape. All this talk about gaping of the hose when you clamp is taken care of.

Yes that would work if your house diameter is larger than the diameter of the coupler, for sure. I always recommend sealing up anywhere that you have a connection with the hose though. Taping up the connections helps to lessen the chance that smoke and smell escape. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

Subscribed! Lots of great tips…..I was wanting something for my vent hose to prevent critters from coming in but wasn’t sure what to get. You answered that! I too ran a 6” hose all the way out the window but seems like most I see run a 4”. So most of what they suggest doesn’t apply to me. So I was happy to see this….and subscribed! Thank you for all your tips. Going down the rabbit hole with your videos now 😉

Thanks Joy! I'm so happy I could be of help. It's a fun journey to take so please keep watching and thanks for your support!

Great walkthrough… and I love that you left the mistakes in the final cut! Makes me feel less like an imbecile when I see that I’m not the only one fumbling around sometimes. Did you use black duct tape, or some other black tape? I also like to keep things looking neat, and I fear that if I ever had to take things apart, all of the sticky residue from duct tape just becomes a giant mess.

@SteelForge1 3 года назад

Hi Jim! Thanks for watching :) I could make a whole video of mistakes! Yeah I used black duct tape to seal up the connections and no, I'm definitely not looking forward to the day when I have to remove that tape for whatever reason! LOL I'm sure it'll be an absolute disaster cleaning up the residue.

Did the in-line fan reduce Oder? I just got the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S6 on Amazon and my office smells worse than when my GlowForge filter was full! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don’t know if my in-line fan is just not working properly or if this is what I am Supposed to expect, a smelly office!! 😫

@SteelForge1 Год назад

Yes an inline fan will definitely help with odour. If it's doing the opposite for you, you might want to check to make sure the air flow arrow on your inline fan is pointing toward the place you vent out (the window or hole in the wall). If it is pointing toward your laser, you'll be blowing the air inside the GF back into your room.

@KodyK2024 3 года назад

Great video. If the GlowForge was directly in front of the window where it vents outside, would a in-line fan still be preferable. Thanks.

@SteelForge1 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! I'm going to say "Yes" to answer your question because the inline fan is much quieter than the onboard fan of the Glowforge. It also moves air much quicker and more efficiently than the Glowforge fan. You'll still need to clean the onboard fan of debris once in awhile though as the debris will still pass through the inactive fan blades. I hope this helps!

What is the difference between the 4in and 6 inch inline fan? And is what is the benefits between the 2 with the Glow Forge

@SteelForge1 3 года назад

Hi Melinda! The main difference is that the 6" fan will move more air more efficiently away from the Glowforge because it has more power and a wider diameter. Think of it like drinking a milkshake through a thin straw versus a thick one. Hope this helps!

@Jeff-sh3cc 3 года назад

Can you please give me the exact link for the 4 to 6 adapter you bought for the back of the glowforge?!?!? I have been searching high and low for one! Thanks!

@SteelForge1 3 года назад

Unfortunately, it look like it's not currently available anywhere. I bought it from Amazon's Canadian site but yeah, it doesn't look like it's in stock. I would search Etsy for "Glowforge adapter". Best of luck!

@joybidwell9487 2 года назад

Hey Jeff. In case you haven’t already purchased….I ordered my adapters from Amazon also. If you follow “Martinson” on RU-vid you will see all sorts of fun gadgets that he produces on his 3D printers. One being those adaptors. Well worth the $!

@SteelForge1 2 года назад

@@joybidwell9487 Yes, this is the one I use as well.

@suzyqcraft321 2 года назад

Hi came across your video and like the fact that you used the the six in hose my question would it be safe to use a pvc adapter from the Local hardware store that adapts from the 4 inches to 6 inches(PVC S&D Increaser/Reducer Coupling, 4 in. Hub X 6 in. Hub) your thoughts on this are greatly appreciated by the way awesome video😊

@SteelForge1 2 года назад

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, any adapter that increases the back exhaust on the Glowforge to 6" would work just fine. There will be variance between all adapters so choose one that fits snugly and don't forget to seal it up with some good quality duct tape.

@CheLetton 3 года назад

Hey! Great videos! Can I ask why you added tape at the fan end but not at the damper end? Thanks.

@SteelForge1 3 года назад

Fantastic question Che! In as scientific a response as I can muster...I forgot. 🤣

@MartinsonManufacturing 2 года назад

Glad to see my adapter is serving you well. It's back on Amazon again: amzn.to/3qWaowf Feel free to use your own affiliate link. Keep forging my friend :)

@SteelForge1 2 года назад

It's fantastic! The Amazon listing says it's unavailable though and people will definitely want to be ordering one of your adapters.
