One-Step Zebra stripe

RetainerDesigner · 04-01-2008, 11:07 AM

Here's my attempt at a one-step zebra stripe (Tiger Stripe?)
Here is the (as Labdude would say) "shooting" the acrylic.
One-step zebra stripe

Sorry for the out side link, the pics were too big for this forum.
Plus I decieded to add pics of me finishing the appliance.

I need to to a better job keeping my acrylic walls cleaner the design would have come out better.

This is what I call one step, because you don't have to go back into the pressure pot.

Happy designing!

Nice work Cade. Nice set of instuctional pics as well!
Shoot acrylic...yeah I say that. Lay up acrylic...I say that to. Salt and pepper...once in a while.

I was thinking of doing a more detailed set of pics of acrylic work also. Seems to be a bigger desire for seeing more of the process than I realized.
I just was visited by Ron and Rachel from Medford Oregon. Enjoyable visit. They liked seeing the hands on work, visual is the best says Rachel. They are "rs promotions" here on DLN.
So... I guess more detailed pics like these you did, Cade, are in order as time allows.
Mike.

I like your "shoot" acrylic and "Lay Up" better than "salt and pepper" ( too long) and what I say: "Pour acrylic" I dont know where I picked this one up must have been at lab school in the denture class. I never have liked it and it was hard to explain to my wife or any one else what stage I was on. Its going to be "Lay up" or "Shoot" from now on...its the coolest.

I pull so much info from other peoples pictures, I think the more the better.
We are going to have a pretty awesome instruction manuel on this forum after awhile!
I'm in the process of taking pics for the Twin Blks im making, but my camera battery died.

Did rs promotions swing by your lab? I hope they didnt get in the way of your production! I know how you are.

rs promotions · 04-01-2008, 04:51 PM

Nice step by step instructions. We are newbies so we are soaking up all we can.

Thanks Cade

Our visit to Labdude was prearranged and Mike was very helpful in showing us tips and tricks. Yes we did put him behind schedule but really appreciate his knowledge and time. Thanks Mike

RetainerDesigner · 04-01-2008, 06:15 PM

Thank you for the kind words rs promotions. I wish the final product would have turned out better, (crisper stripes). I wish I was i could visit labdude too and pick his brain, Also I would like to see how Trisha does her Tuesday,Thursday only Pick up del.
Maybe we can get them to set up webcams in their Labs so we can watch them work!

Cade

rs promotions · 04-01-2008, 06:31 PM

The web cams sound good to me, I'd be watching. It would be interesting to have them over the wire bending station the acrylic station to see different techniques.

Ron

labdude · 04-01-2008, 07:41 PM

Yeah right....then we'd have to wear clothes.

RetainerDesigner · 04-01-2008, 11:17 PM

LOL!
Don't worry we'll keep you honest!

trisha · 04-02-2008, 03:29 PM

My doors are open , just let me know when you are in Kansas City, I would love to swap ideas and techniques.
Labdude ~I do where clothes, they are just pajamas, I quess if I have guests I will have to put on something more presentable, and brush my teeth!

I will be way overdressed compared to my normal regalia for lab day.
Cade~ Tuesday and Friday, I forgot what is your turn around time?

trisha · 04-02-2008, 03:34 PM

I would be up for it but someone is going to have to walk me through how to set it up. My computer is upstairs, lab is in the basement, does that matter? See I told you I was computer illiterate

trisha · 04-02-2008, 03:44 PM

By the way, Thank you Cade, your photos were a great representation of the process! I have taken photos of my work, (got a digital camera for my trip) and am going to upload them hopefully this weekend.
This forum is the best!

RetainerDesigner · 04-02-2008, 04:10 PM

THanks and looking forward to your picks!
I will look into setting up a video chat between all of us if ya'll are interested. How many here have web cams? Go ahead raise you hands, so I can count them.

Cade

trisha · 04-02-2008, 04:17 PM

I don't have one, but if you tell me what kind to get, to join in on the fun, I am going back out on Friday.

RetainerDesigner · 04-03-2008, 11:01 AM

im gonna look into it.

rs promotions · 04-03-2008, 01:55 PM

We don't have a web cam but at this point we don't have anything to teach you seasoned veterans.

Ron

RetainerDesigner · 04-03-2008, 02:31 PM

Seasoned!?!...you problably learned more from Mike in your short little visit than I will ever know about retainers.

trisha · 04-03-2008, 03:22 PM

Seasoned?
Ditto what Cade says, but thanks for the encouragement!

TheLabGuy · 04-03-2008, 06:00 PM

Mike has already forgotten more about ortho then I will ever learn or care to learn for that matter.....lol Now someone give the man a needle so he can pop his head.....lol

RetainerDesigner · 04-03-2008, 08:50 PM
