Hello all, I am new to Snapmaker and this forum.

I am going through the process of learning how to use the Snapmaker.

I need help with ideas in how to reduce the dust concentration on enclosure panels (inside and outside) as well as the machine. Also, what is the best way to clean them after job completion.

Thank you in advance.

I just registered to comment that I also would like an answer to this question. I have the A150 and I have started with (only tried) Laser. I also have the smoke build-up on the enclosure. I was going to assume cleaning with a damp cloth but would appreciate advice.  
The above post was in March and it is now August, what did you decide to do?

Hi friend,  
You can use the soft cloth soaked with dish soap to clean it. Thanks

I use a portable shop vacuum and disinfectant wipes. A wash cloth would be better I imagine.
