Newbe needs advice about fume extractor for fibre laser

Has anyone got any opinions to share about fume extractors for use with a 30W fibre laser? I'm hoping to find a small unit suitable for home/desktop use. I'm new to laser engraving (just for occasional hobby work) but have picked up that a fume extractor is pretty much essential - preferably with both HEPA and carbon filters.

TIA

Too ambitious?

I’m trying to determine if I want to add color to this piece of titanium after I’m done relief engraving it. Not sure if the area would be too small on this zorro lighter.

Material Libraries for 50w Fiber? Even better if specific to the Gweike G2 Max...

I've found a couple random small generic 50w fiber material libraries out there, but I'm seeing relevant differences between settings for like materials, so I thought I'd ask the community. If others are up to contributing, perhaps we can build a library to make available in the subreddit.

I've seen the AI slop youtube ads videos for "laser-secrets" but they give off a rippy-offy kinda vibe.
