xTool S1 Fan Removal – Why Pros Disable the Stock Fan with External Extraction

This video is part of the Laser Engraving & Studio Projects playlist. In professional laser shops, external extraction systems are the norm — and once you move to proper inline or dust-collection ventilation, the small stock enclosure fan included with many desktop lasers becomes unnecessary. In this video, I walk through how and why experienced users disable the stock exhaust fan on the xTool S1 when running external extraction. I also show another professional desktop laser set up the same way, to illustrate that this is a workflow choice — not a brand-specific issue. This modification is intended for users who already run adequate external ventilation. If you rely on the stock exhaust system alone, removing the fan is NOT recommended. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for experienced users only. Modifications may affect warranty coverage.
