Troubleshoot the Poor Smoke Evacuation During Processing for xTool P2
Updated Nov 1,2024
Updated Nov 1,2024

Issue description

When using the xTool P2 for processing, the smoke generated may fail to disperse properly, resulting in significant accumulation inside the machine or leakage from the machine's seams.
 

Before troubleshooting

Firstly, remove all accessory devices from xTool P2 (e.g., smoke purifier, extended exhaust pipe, extended exhaust fan, etc.), retaining only the exhaust pipe provided with the machine. Process the material again and evaluate smoke evacuation effectiveness.

  • Scenario 1: If smoke evacuation remains poor
  • Scenario 2: If smoke evacuation improves

 

Scenario 1: If smoke evacuation remains poor

If the smoke evacuation is still poor after removing the accessory devices, the issue may be related to the settings or the installation of the smoke exhaust fan.

#1 Check the setting

Ensure that the "Exhaust fan" function in the XCS is enabled, as shown below.

 

#2 Check the smoke exhaust pipe

Ensure that the smoke exhaust pipe is not pressed or bent, hindering proper smoke evacuation.

 

#3 Check the installation of the fan

Remove the smoke exhaust pipe at the rear plate to observe if the fan is installed correctly.

  • The correct installation displays the white sticker outward.
  • If not, use the 2.0 mm hex screwdriver to remove the four screws. Take off the fan cover and reinstall the fan.

 

#4 Check the sponge gasket

Remove the four screws fixing the fan cover and make sure the sponge gasket is placed in the fan cover as shown below.

 

Scenario 2: If smoke evacuation improves

If the smoke evacuation improves after removing the accessory devices, the issue is related to the used devices.

#1 Check the airflow

For better smoke evacuation, make sure that your extended smoke exhaust fan or purifier has an airflow greater than 200 cfm.
  • For xTool purifiers, ensure the knob is turned to the maximum position.

 

#2 Check the filters

Remove all the filters from the purifier and test the smoke evacuation. If it improves without filters, consider replacements.

 

#3 Check the extended exhaust pipe

Confirm the smoke exhaust pipe isn't pressed, bent, or excessively lengthy for efficient smoke evacuation.
