When working with a compact diode laser engraver like the AlgoLaser Pixi, effective smoke extraction, clean airflow, and proper laser engraving ventilation are essential for safety and performance. The Smoke Purifier 2.0 is designed to remove engraving fumes, filter micro-particles, and eliminate odors generated during cutting and engraving. Below is a complete guide showing you how to set up and use this laser engraver smoke purifier with simple steps.

Begin by turning the AlgoLaser Pixi laser engraver so the back side faces you. The rear panel contains the dedicated fume exhaust port used to connect your purification system. Positioning the machine like this allows smoother access and helps maintain a clean airflow path for the smoke extraction process. Proper positioning also improves the laser engraver's ability to direct fumes into the air filtration system.

Next, locate the exhaust slot on the Pixi and align it with the inlet connector of the Smoke Purifier 2.0. Accurate alignment ensures strong negative-pressure ventilation, enabling the purifier to pull fumes directly from the engraving chamber. This is especially important when working with materials that generate dense smoke, such as wood, leather, and acrylic. A precise connection greatly enhances the purifier's ability to function as a laser fume extractor.

Attach the included ventilation hose to the Pixi's exhaust port. Press the hose firmly into the slot to create a sealed connection that prevents leakage. A secure hose ensures efficient smoke exhaust flow, guiding all fumes directly into the purifier instead of escaping into your workspace. Smoother air movement through the hose also reduces backflow and helps maintain consistent laser engraver air quality during long projects.

Use the supplied clamps and tightening accessories to firmly secure the hose on both ends—the Pixi side and the Smoke Purifier 2.0 side. A fully secured hose improves overall air extraction performance, reduces vibration, and guarantees stable suction while engraving. This step is crucial for maintaining constant filtration efficiency, especially when producing detailed cuts that generate fine particulate debris.

Plug the Smoke Purifier 2.0 into a reliable power outlet. This device features a multi-stage laser engraving filtration system, which includes a pre-filter for particles, a HEPA-grade filter for micro-dust, and an activated carbon layer for odor removal. Proper power ensures that airflow pressure remains strong enough to support efficient engraving fume filtration.

Turn on the purifier by pressing the power button. The internal suction fan immediately activates, pulling smoke, vaporized residue, and odor particles through the filtration layers. This protects both your lungs and the optical components of your diode laser engraver, reducing soot buildup on the lens and prolonging machine life. The purifier operates as a continuous air-cleaning system, ensuring safer and cleaner engraving sessions.

Once engraving begins, the Smoke Purifier 2.0 automatically pulls in the smoke and fumes generated by the Pixi. Whether you're engraving wood coasters, leather patches, acrylic ornaments, or coated metal tags, the purifier eliminates harmful particulates, neutralizes odors, and clears the air around your workspace. This constant engraving smoke removal ensures cleaner results, better engraving visibility, and a healthier environment inside your workshop.

By integrating the Smoke Purifier 2.0 with your AlgoLaser Pixi Laser Engraver, you significantly improve workplace air quality, enhance engraving precision, and maintain a safe environment for daily maker projects. This setup provides reliable laser engraving smoke control, making it an essential accessory for any hobbyist or professional engraver.
