Glowforge External Venting with Inline Duct Fan

I had some issues with venting my Glowforge Basic. It stunk! The smoke wasn’t reliably venting outside and my office smelled like a campfire.

After some investigation, the built-in fan in the Glowforge couldn’t reliably overcome the pressure of the wind blowing on the west side of my house. Adding an inline duct fan overcame that issue.

Glowforge / ESPHome / Home-Assistant Light Color Controller

With another baby on the way, it’s time to clear out the nursery. That means we need to turn the guest bedroom into my daughter’s new bedroom. She loves bright colors and color changing lights are super cool. She’s 3, so no Google/Alexa/smartphone… That makes big tough physical buttons important. As far as I can tell, there is literally nothing like this on the market and that makes me sad.

Designed in Autodesk Fusion360, cut on a Glowforge Basic, using 3mm Acrylic. Decorated with Cricut cut vinyl. Uses 30mm arcade push buttons, connected to an ESP32-s, programmed with ESPHome, controlling Home-Assistant connected lights.

My wife wanted a place for the jewelry she wears regularly. Our house has been invaded by geometric shapes recently, so she wanted something more organic this time. I had recently found the Voronoi Sketch Generator for Fusion 360, which is perfect for this. My wife loves succulents, so I hot glued a couple on to complete the look.
