Thank you, thank you, thank you! I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this video! Taking apart a machine that you’ve invested so much in is unnerving to say the least. Your video gave me the confidence to get this process done and replace a broken part! Bravo to you!

I did this clean today and now my laser doesn't score or engrave properly. Everything is off by just a little bit. What can I do to fix it? I am doing a recalibration of the camera right now and the test pattern is not looking good either.

@gknies21 4 года назад

Thanks for the help! I know you had mentioned dry clean vs ‘wet clean’. What is your recommendation for a ‘wet clean’?

@lumberrevolution3911 4 года назад

We use a green spray that’s safe for electronics when cleaning the inlay fan or assist fan some soapy water on a qtip

@amberyoung1675 3 года назад

@@lumberrevolution3911 Hi, great suggestions. Did a Q-Tip clean with some water but ended up with it feeling kinda sticky? How would you recommend clearing out the bit that has moved into the join? Thank you - sticking with the more frequent dry cleans after this gets solved!

@ramonhamm3885 3 года назад

Good video. Isn't the air assist fan not so much for cooling but to blow the smoke out of the way of the laser beam so it's not trying to cut through a thick cloud?

@samanthafuller4616 3 года назад

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. Cold you please advise what is the name of the type of timing belt? ist it a GT2 timming belt 6mm width with a 2mm pitch?

@lumberrevolution3911 3 года назад

I’m sorry I’m not sure what belt it is from glowforge.

@heatherbassine2658 10 месяцев назад

When using the wrench to tighten it - I am having an issue where I can't tighten at all... any suggestions?

@nattyfacexo Год назад

Had anyone else had a hard time loosening the belt? Mine if stuck as stuck can be 😢

@sabrinaerkhart3893 2 года назад

So i loosened the screw with the allen wrench to get the belt off. Now i keep tightening it back with the allen wrench but the belt is still loosey goosey. what am i doing wrong?

@tanners717 2 года назад

Same! Did you ever figure this out? I'm not handy enough for this. :/

@subneo61 2 года назад

have you removed the exhaust fan since you're using external inline fan?

@macrumpton 2 года назад

I love my glowforge, but it seems like they went out of their way to make it it difficult to clean. Every fan in the whole thing is a nightmare to get to and clean, and instead of isolating the wood smoke and resin to one easy to clean area, they let it go everywhere, even on electronics.
