Folks,
I normally don't get in a lather about this kind of stuff (Elaine should
have
covered this), but let me make a few points.
Thanks to Todd for at least adding to the public knowledge by posting a
simple,
but very useful pointer for SLA work.
To the boneheads who flamed him:
Next time read the entire original message where he clearly stated that he
placed the goo ball in the PCA, cured it, and then threw it away. Anyone who
has
had any experience with SLA work (aside from reading a book or subscribing
to
this mailing list) would know that this is the environmentally friendly way
to
dispose of the stuff.
Todd, and others who may want to be of help to the community, please don't
let
this discourage you.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Maguire, Ph.D.

Thanks Michael for saying it first!! I feel that the level of useful
suggestions for SLA or any other technology submitted to the mailing list is
lower than some of us might like to see. Responses like those posted only
serve to discourage and warn others of the consequences of voicing such
well-intentioned information. Regardless of the content of the actual
posting, lets try to be objective and professional about ideas or
information.
With regard to Todd's actual suggestion, I completely agree that it is an
effective way to manage extraneous photopolymer from the platforms and parts
in a day to day SLA operation. For those on this group not aware of other
work Todd has contributed to the RP field, check out the remote monitoring
system he designed, programmed, and presented at last year's SLA User's
Group meeting in Tampa. Todd, continue with the good work.
