• What components are needed before installation
• Important preparation and safety tips
• How to assemble the Longer B1 enclosure step by step
• How to install the lamp, fan, and exhaust system
• Common installation issues and solutions

By following this guide, beginners can complete the Longer B1 enclosure installation more easily.

Why Install a Longer B1 Enclosure?

During laser engraving and cutting, the machine may produce smoke, dust, and odors. A properly installed enclosure helps control these by improving airflow and guiding smoke through the exhaust system.

The Longer B1 enclosure can help:

• Keep the workspace cleaner
• Reduce smoke spreading indoors
• Improve ventilation efficiency
• Reduce dust accumulation
• Provide additional protection during operation

For indoor engraving environments, using an enclosure with proper ventilation is recommended.

Before Installing the Longer B1 Enclosure

Required Components

Before starting the installation, prepare all enclosure parts and tools. You will need:

Hardware

• Longer B1 enclosure kit
• Beam 1 components
• Beam 2 components
• Beam 3 components
• Corner clips
• Hook clips
• Lamp
• Fan brackets
• Fan
• Silicone rubber sheets
• Plastic connector
• Exhaust pipe
• Longer B1 laser engraver

Make sure all parts are available before beginning assembly.

Installation Preparation Tips

Before installing the enclosure:

• Work on a flat and stable surface
• Organize all components before assembly
• Check beam labels carefully
• Do not force clips or connectors into place
• Leave enough working space around the enclosure
• Disconnect the laser engraver before installation
• Connect the exhaust system to an outdoor ventilation area after assembly

Following these steps can help avoid installation problems later.

Step-by-Step Longer B1 Enclosure Installation Guide

Step 1: Connect Beam 1 and Beam 2

Connect all Beam 1 components with the matching Beam 2 components. After completing this step, you should have several Beam 1 + Beam 2 assemblies ready for the next stage. Make sure each beam is correctly identified before continuing.

Step 2: Build the First Square Frame

• Take four Beam 1 + Beam 2 assemblies.
• Connect them together using corner clips to create the first square frame.
• Check that all connections are aligned properly before securing them completely.

Step 3: Install Vertical Beam 3 Components

• Install the four Beam 3 components vertically onto the frame.
• After installation, the enclosure structure will begin to form its vertical support.
• Make sure each Beam 3 component is firmly connected.

Step 4: Assemble the Upper Square Frame

• Use four Beam 1 + Beam 2 assemblies and corner clips to build the upper square frame.
• Connect the upper frame with the existing structure.
• Avoid twisting the frame during installation.

Step 5: Install Hook Clips on Beam 3

• Take one Beam 3 component.
• Attach one hook clip to each end.
• Repeat this process for all four Beam 3 components.

After completion, you should have four Beam 3 assemblies with hook clips installed.

Step 6: Connect Beam 3 with Hook Clips

Connect the four Beam 3 assemblies with hook clips. Make sure all parts are aligned evenly. This creates the additional support structure for the enclosure.

Step 7: Attach Hook Assemblies to Beam 1 + Beam 2

• Connect the hook clips to two Beam 1 + Beam 2 ends.
• Attach these assemblies to the enclosure frame.
• Avoid applying excessive force during installation.

Step 8: Install Lamp Clips

Attach the two metal clips to both ends of the lamp. The lamp is now ready to be mounted onto the enclosure structure.

Step 9: Install the Lamp

Connect the lamp to the enclosure structure. Adjust the distance between the vertical Beam 3 components if needed. Make sure the lamp is installed securely.

Step 10: Install the Enclosure Cover

• Place the enclosure cover onto the frame.
• Pay attention to the fan outlet direction during installation.
• Incorrect positioning may affect airflow performance.

Step 11: Install Fan Brackets

Install the fan brackets onto the enclosure cover. These brackets will provide the mounting position for the fan.

Step 12: Install Silicone Rubber Sheet and Fan

Install the silicone rubber sheet and fan outside the enclosure cover. After installing the fan, place another silicone rubber sheet. Make sure all silicone components are installed correctly to maintain proper sealing.

Step 13: Install Plastic Connector and Exhaust Pipe

Install the plastic connector. Then connect the exhaust pipe to complete the ventilation system. Make sure the exhaust direction allows airflow toward the outside area.

Step 14: Place the Longer B1 Laser Engraver Inside the Enclosure

After completing the enclosure assembly, place your Longer B1 laser engraver inside. The installation process is now complete.
