I'm looking for some white machinable wax. I've been having samples make from an unnamed company but they are slow on the turnaround and have not given me exactly what I want yet. Do you know of any millable wax manufacturers which make the 98mm pucks?
When you are printing hundreds of restorations and models... a little 5x5 chamber is pretty inefficient ;) I'm looking some something I can make or purchase which will hold something 12"x18" if necessary.
Hi there, we are currently using the Otoflash light curing chamber for our EnvisionTEC materials. We have simply grown too large for this to be efficient anymore so I'm looking for an alternative. I've heard of making ovens with some simple UV lamps... thoughts?
haha, jeez. Scott, I understand the whole idea behind heating elements yellowing units. I've been doing this for a long time. Likely as long as you.... mill well over a hundred units daily for the past 7 years. While I don't have the time or capacity to test everything scientifically, I have...
fwiw, the beads were labeled as QBZ-58a
Is it possible they needed to be run through a cleaning cycle? They were not stark white... they were off white and that same color seemed to transpose over to the copings/full contours. I want to be wrong because they were a hell of a lot cheaper.
They were returned.
What's the reason for the attitude? Is it not possible for Scott to be wrong? ;)
If you are sure it's not the beads, our trays are always covered and other beads work fine in the same oven... what else would be the issue?
I usually back up my anatomy libraries so I can pull them in when weird stuff happens on updates. I'd just pull that library out and pull the old one into it's place. We have custom libraries and bugs like that have bitten me in the past.
Scott, you're wrong on this. We cover every batch that goes in the oven. These beads yellow, others do not. We mill hundreds of units per day... we mill a lot too ;)
It's possible I have beads which are not meant for sintering.
We have a prototype tray made from some top secret material that has lasted us weeks. Perfect. We do the 2 hr cycles and used to go through trays daily... they are cheap tho. Problem is... we only have one black tray :(
This is not true. Beads can most definitely turn your units a yellowish tint. None of our other beads are doing this at all. This is not the "contaminated oven" bright greenish color... this looks like A1ish, almost. If the beads are wrong... or even not meant for sintering... then they can most...
I tried some of these beads and they simply yellow my units. I thought I ordered the wrong ones, so I called and talked to them and he sent me the "right" ones... same thing.
Which ones do you use?
