Burning down the house

Maybe you should stick to kitchen renovation, car repair and shit posting about makita. This shit is beyond my level of brain cells.

I'm just hoping this isn't some bait and you're not just making everyone loose his time.
Yes , co2 lasers have a 9-11 um wavelength.
At those wavelengths , anything will protect your eyes. Literally everything but very specific material block lwir so unless you find someone making prescription glasses out of germanium , just putting on your typical 1 dollar googles will work.
Now, there's 100% chance you're not getting a co2 laser and it's just going to be your typical diode blue laser.
Which means several things :
1. You're an idiot for thinking co2 lasers come in that size factor anyway.
2. It'll work for fabric so that's good
3. You want some specific goggles that protect for that wavelengh because 450 is just going to bounce of any reflective surface you throw at it.
something like https://www.amazon.com/400-450nm-Protective-Googles-Eyewear-Protection/dp/B071NLMW4S

Whereas exposure to lwir would just burn out your cornea and *could* be dealt with at the hospital, 450nm will fuck your retina for life if you mess up.
So, NO.
Polycarbonate windows will not protect you from blindness.

in the same place where you buy the laser they sell also glasses to protect your eyes, also if you want to make an enclosure use white acrylic walls and for the lid use green or orange, dont use polycarbonate, if something goes wrong it will expel toxic fumes, acrylic instead is safe

Isn't this the place for people who have built rockets and napalm in their childhood?

Actually I have ordered goggles from the same seller which should be compatible, but my trust is limited.
