plasma vent!!




FINALLY finished making the ventilation system for the plasma table today. it could probably still use a smaller pulley so the fan spins a little faster, but it at least makes cutting inside possible / tolerable. we still need to put a tarp over the opening to the 2nd floor though, as some of the smoke that rises out of the suction goes up there and then doesn't get vented back down. might be able to fix that with a little more suction on the fan in the future though.

the flexible duct we got compresses a ton, so it doesn't take up very much space at all when not in use. its not very robust though, so i can see it get bunged up over time. love the scraps of leather for handles that we put on the hay chute style door. makes it easier for toshi to try to make his escape.
