Just had my laser cutter throw a thermal fuse right in the middle of a big order
I was running a batch of 50 acrylic keychains for a client in Seattle last Tuesday and about halfway through the machine just stopped mid cut. No error code, just silence. Turns out the exhaust fan wasn't pulling enough air and the tube overheated enough to pop the thermal fuse. I had to wait for it to cool down, replace the fuse, and then re align the whole mirror path because I bumped it while checking the tube. Lost about 4 hours of production time and had to explain to the client why their order was late. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of heat buildup issue on a K40 or similar machine? What did you use to fix the airflow problem permanently?

Sounds like a bit of an overreaction for a four hour delay.
