The amount of air coming out is now noticeably less than when it was refitted, and could do with a nice clean out. When the laser water is being changed probably!

I had a look at it today, but I'm not convinced there's that much more flow from it. I'll see if there's a reduction in the incidence of candelling in use.

The cleaning wasn't sufficient to improve the air flow, but removing the 90 angle and restriction and putting the tube through the (now empty) pointer laser mount has increased airflow at the cut (although it's coming from the side instead of from the lens).

Really a small 3D printed attachment would do nicely here to feed the flow into the lens cone.

Leaving this as a permanent temporary fix as it functions quite well in practice.
