Who has an at home CNC machine?

We bought a Glowforge https://glowforge.com for the office.  The problem is the unit will get here at least a month before the filtration system is ready to ship.  You can make your own DIY exhaust filter.  There is a lot of info online from people who have done this but I was wondering if there is anybody local who made this kind of filtered exhaust.  Looking for info on what parts you used and how you set it up.  Yo have to use both a particulate file and a charcoal type for the gasses and odor produced from laser cutting/etching some materials.

I've used a lot of lasers.  I've never been happy with any filters that aren't inline venting directly outdoors.  

Excited to hear what you think about the glowforge. It looks like a neat setup.

Sounds pretty sweet. I'd be interested in hearing from you once you get it up and running.

I will not be playing with it but a lot of the guys, including my brother, are really excited about it.  I will post some pics of the stuff they make.

You need a shop vac and a long hose, put the motor and canister out side. Let the vac pull the mess out side.

The problem is this is going to be in our office.  We do not have access to vent it outside.  Thats why i was wondering if anybody had already done a similar set up.

I have a BFG, we can make a hole.
