My pleasure!

My pleasure!

Yes, you certainly can. Just remove the platform since that won't be needed and might get in the way. Bear in mind, this is an old playlist and the software workflow has improved significantly in the meantime.

I'm not sure what you mean. The APG2 software? That's the Blender framework.

I'm not sure what you're asking. But,I don't actually use this approach any longer. We now have much better OEM resin curing units. Expensive, but predictable and tested.

My pleasure.

If you create a copy of the sheet, you can unprotect and see all/modify all. I can't answer the question because I honestly don't recall the calculations from way back when I made it. Sorry.

@@bgrutterdds Thank you. I've tried saving a copy but the sheet requires a password to in order to unprotect. But thank you anyway

It's referring to thermoforming the plastic on the model, trimming the tray, and polishing.

My pleasure!

I still make slight changes, but maybe not necessary ones. Mostly I just remove buttons that I don't think are totally necessary.

@@bgrutterdds Thank you very much

That can happen for many reasons. Most notably is flaws in the mesh. Make sure there are no holes or errors in the mesh and move your line.

There's a button up top when adding the implant to add another. But honestly, if you're doing more than simple single healed implants, I recommend the Advanced mode.

Hopefully when I have more time.

Nope. At least not that I've been able to find. Annoying that the preferences are pretty minimalist in MeshMixer.

@@bgrutterdds True. Being a small lab, just a few simple pre-set adjustments would save a little time. Short, me, from LA. Moved to the forest in Vida Oregon in 92. Ortho only, most all FedEx and UPS in and out. Printing models has saved a lot on shipping costs. Covid was very helpful as it gave plenty of time to learn all needed for resin printing models. I have 5 Epax printers. (X10) Thanks for your quick response!

@@bgrutterdds Is there another program you might suggest for just basing models? I get stl files emailed to me.

@@orthodudeness yeah, BlueSkyPlan is the most efficient. Not as easy on the trimming and cleanup, but you can get pretty quick. Adding a base takes 1 button click. If you like hollow models, also just 1 button. Hard to beat that simplicity.

@@bgrutterdds l look into that now. Thank you. Have a great day!

Milling isn't something I plan to make videos on anytime soon. That's because there's too many mills and nesting software options to consider. Whoever sells you those should teach you how to use them. That should be the easiest part.

Easiest way is to plan a Fixation pin aimed directly at the drill/bone interface.

I use an ASUS Zenbook Pro for higher complexity designs. For routine, on the couch or traveling design, I like my Surface Pro 9. If you want high end, 32gb of RAM is the easy thing to look for. 16gb will do most of what you need. i7 or i9 should be sought after. i5 can work, but I recommend against. Graphics card isn't very important for BSP these days. Mostly processor, followed by available RAM. If you plan to connect to an IOS, you'll want 32gb and a legit graphics card. Other software (eg EXOCAD or 3Shape) will have their own requirements that I don't know off hand.

@@bgrutterdds Thank you so much for your insight!!!! this is very valuable information.

I'm not sure if you watched the video. That's what this video is showing.

You best bet is to reach out to the manufacturer and request that the collaborate with BlueSkyBio. It doesn't cost them anything. BSB just needs their libraries.

@@bgrutterdds I wonder if sales rep knows anything about it since they have never done it. Do I ask them for a digital model or STL of their brackets libraries?

You can talk to your rep, but the files have to come directly from the manufacturer. This is to avoid any sort of legal issues with incorporate files not approved by the manufacturer into blue sky bios software. Also, the files have to be oriented in such a manner so that the software engineers know how to orient them in the software.

@@bgrutterdds Do you know if all MBT brackets look the same so that blue sky plan can be used for any of them or does it have to be from certain brand? For example, is Damon self ligating MBT brackets compatible?

@JoonKimDMD nope. Definitely different from brand to brand.

Honestly, I don't know. It's a pain. Many thinks will create smudges. I've never tried Windex. You could try a test spot and see how it responds. Otherwise, reach out to SprintRay and ask them.

I designed it.

@@bgrutterdds Normally I just get any STL file I need from the respective library, I don't know how to design it myself. Is it time consuming?

Just takes some CAD knowledge. It took me about 5min with a camera, digital caliper, and Fusion 360.

@@bgrutterdds Got it, Thanks.

You should make a video on how it's done, sounds interesting.

Only difference is on how I design the shells. I now only create posterior wax rims so that the Anterior has an opening. Ideally the patient nose breaths, but this allows for air to pass if their nasal passages are obstructed. No changes in which softwares I use.

That's tough. Bringing in the part and adding to or subtracting from is easy. But what you describe is much more complicated. If you isolate the petal from the rest of the flower, you could then stretch it however you wished. Possible, but not necessarily easy. Particularly if the flower was 3D.

Hmmm. I don't recall. I just click off the model and to move without activating the tool. I don't think I hold shift or anything. I'll try to remember to try it and see if there's anything special I'm doing.

Lol

Harvest Dental Polishing Paste

​@@bgrutterdds ​​ thank you! I haven't found yet a good enough product that won't make the zirkonia look like a pearl and just make it shine the same way as a glaze would (or close to it, anyways)...

In the US, BlueSkyBio has the best deal. But, in the UK I think you have to buy direct. For the rest of Europe, I don't know. Here's BSB's link. Let me know if it works for you or not. blueskybio.com/store/photogrammetry-system

@@bgrutterdds no I don’t see grammee on your link…

Ok. Then, you probably have to buy direct in your region. tupel3d.co.uk/

@@bgrutterdds do you know if that works with Anthogyr Axiom implant on their MUA….?

How do you find it's performance over the icam4d?
