The exhaust does not remove smoke well.

K40 Basic 40W troubleshooting from the Monport laser FAQ.

Problem

The exhaust does not remove smoke well.

Solution

Check the stock exhaust fan and ducting. Many K40 Basic users upgrade to an inline exhaust fan and better duct sealing. Poor exhaust dirties optics quickly and reduces cut quality.
