Nice. Finding the airfilter helps at all?

How did it go? I had another friend ask me for the part that goes under the machine. I was looking and I think all of the under attachment plates are standardized, friend wants me to sell him one... I might figure out a way to make it fit under all the machines with a slim design or something.

This might not be the best setup in the world, but I ran the machine without the filter or the inline fan and it was headache central. Once I got the inline fan the headaches stopped and the smells ended for me. Every now and then I might get a whiff but compared to nothing it is night and day...

I just have the Health Pro Plus. The Multigas wasn't around when I bought the original one. The filter runs 24/7 nonstop in the room. The inline fan runs when it is printing. There is no filtration in the fan. I thought about it but I was worried with the small hose size that it would mess with...

This is the attachment under my machine. I 3dprinted a rubber gasket to go between the plastic and the metal. Probably overkill here though. Just bolts into the housing made for the BOFA unit that Roland partners with another company to make. If you look up that unit it is pulling air through...

Just a simple mounted inline fan going to a 3dprinted part that attaches under the Roland machine. Then it goes to a traditional window vent for an AC unit that the window closes on. Total cost was like 150 dollars maybe. I will post some pictures in a minute.

What printer do you have? I don't know if the unit attachments are the same. I just measured mine and made it in fusion360.

There isn't much to photo. I 3D printed an attachment to go where the BOFA unit is supposed to attach to. I looked up the fan power CFM on the BOFA unit they sell. It was just a small fan that any 4 inch inline fan could pull. So I purchased a nice inline fan because I wanted it to be quiet. I...

Why don't you just extract the fumes out one of those windows you mentioned? That is what I do with my LG300. I have an inline fan and I 3dprinted a mount under the machine that goes to the place the BOFA machine attaches to, then I pipe those fumes out the window. The smell is gone completely...

Yes I do the UV lamps once a month as well. Usually on the 1st just so I remember. I also vacuum the sheet cutting groove on that day as well. Machine needs a lot of love and care. The ink waste is a lot better since the update. I went a full week and 3 days and it was only maybe a little under...

They are not extremely dirty no, but there is always a light misting of ink around all the print head areas where you wipe with the cleaning solution each day. The machine is just too expensive not to follow the recommended cleaning procedures. I want maximum up time for printing with the least...

You cannot put registration marks on more than one artboard. That being said, cuttingmaster5 is awful compared to CM4. The interface is worse and slower. I run two versions of illustrator just to have one with CM4 because I cannot stand CM5. It is a downgrade.

I'm not sure how much progress was made honestly. When I emptied the tank it still felt pretty excessive but better than before. I emptied it out Monday morning before printing. So I will measure again next Monday and hopefully not have any problems with dropout patterns between now and then so...

It's the first time I've felt sorta hopeful about the machine since I got it. The print quality is amazing and the special effects are awesome. The ink waste was 100% not worth it before. Maybe now it might be. Won't know until my machine is properly functioning and I can get an accurate...

Well tomorrow is one week of printing about my usual amount since the update. The ink waste is definitely better. I don't have exact numbers because my machine is messing up and I have to run medium cleanings to get the heads to print correctly. Dealer is waiting on parts to fix it. I definitely...

I am testing this now. I have been weighing my ink waste per week so I will know more by next Friday if it is indeed as significant as they say. I surely hope it is.

Has anyone ran their LG without white ink? Like the initial setup of double black or something instead of white? Does the machine continue as many ink waste cycles or when it is setup this way does it know that it doesn't need to clean so aggressively since the white is no longer needing to be...

Yea this would be wonderful, I wish that we had this on the Roland machines. I am guessing the feature is too expensive for the market.

I don't know the specifics. Just that ink is on backorder in USA because of some ink malfunction. Of course this is just what a dealer I was talking to said. Not even my dealer I was at a vinyl shop and they mentioned it to me, I think to sell me some inks that they had sitting on the shelf...

Wild. They are currently having ink malfunction issues as well according to some dealers I talked to. I like my LG a lot, it does the job and I like the results. I definitely do not like the waste though. I also don't understand the whole, "you have to shake the white ink every day", do people...
