Is it possible to re-set the default numbers in Mesh Mixer? Trying to set a constant default number for model wall thickness to 3 mm. It always starts at 2mm. Every model I do I need to reset to 3mm. Thank you for all these great Mesh Mixer videos!
@@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!
@@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.
Thanks for the video. If we just placed pads on the canines and bonded to the canines only, do you think that Onx has the flexural strength to resist fracture?
I do not. Most people that are doing this are using OnX Tough, I understand. I'm not currently doing them, the video was just for demonstration since people were looking for options on design. However, I would not recommend doing it at all for a 3-3 (canine-canine) fixed retainer. That definitely needs to be metal in my opinion.
Dr. Grutter, have you ever tried this on the upper centrals? I placed one this week but the bridge connecting the teeth broke. I'm wondering if I should go over the incisive papilla so it can be thicker but not get in the way of occlusion.
Honestly, I'vestill not seated one. Like I said in the video, I was only making it as informational for those that would like to. I have a case coming up that I might use it on, but I'm a larger user of removable retainers rather than fixed.
@@bgrutterdds Thank you for the reply. I have placed two this week (one upper and one lower) printed with SprintRay Crown resin and both broke with in 24 hours. :(
