Since most people mill wood here and oiled mechanics like ball screws found on the Onefinity are absolutely incompatible with wood dust, you got to have a powerful dust collection system anyway. And in case the dust is removed sufficiently to protect the balls screws, then the controllers, their fans and [their power switch](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/power-switch-request/8887/4) are safe enough from dust too.
