I just got a LSR-PRO530Z, and am wondering just how much acrylic smell to expect when cutting it despite exhaust ventilation. I have a 190 CFM centrifugal fan with 4" diameter dryer hose, going out of a window. I have tested the air flow, and it is indeed blowing out.
Despite that, even when I do a really short cutting session, like cutting a single 20mm diameter circle in 1/8" acrylic which takes just a couple of seconds, the smell of acrylic fumes still fills the room rather quickly, even when leaving the lid shut, I can even smell it a minute later in the next room over, and I have to open windows to get the smell out. I don't see any gaps in the panels of my machine, not sure how it is getting out so quickly especially with the exhaust fan sucking out of the window.
Do I need a higher CFM fan, or are there other remedies? I did notice that there is a cooling fan on the right side of the machine. It is blowing OUT, should it instead be blowing IN? Seems like it could be leaking fumes out from there since there are several holes for wiring internally which aren't sealed by gaskets.
