Cleaning Laser Bed

Post by titchmccartney1 »

I know this has probably been discussed else where but i havent seen it. Does anyone have an easy way to clean a laser honey comb bed. I am finding it really difficult to clean. I find pulling baby wipes through the holes works quite well but it is very time consuming.

I have heard a citric acid bath is quite effective. Not that I use it! I have one of spooky's pin beds for the LS3020, and baby wipes for thhe knife bed for the LS6840.

I would second that - it has worked well for us even with the stinky gloop from cutting ABS.

I remove my 3020 honeycombe, place it outside and jet wash it! Do it on a sunny day and it dries in no time.
