Stop wasting hours scrubbing the char off your honeycomb bed. If your cuts still don't look crisp and clean, you are cleaning the wrong things! Most makers over-clean the cosmetics and under-clean the physics. Today, we’re showing you 5 maintenance hacks that actually improve your beam quality—and none of them involve scrubbing your laser bed for three hours.

In this video, we break down the maintenance routines that directly affect your profit. From the "Dental Pick Trick" to the proper way to floss your rails, we are focusing on airflow and optics to get you cleaner cuts and less char.
