Ok… so it was the Enterprise. Let’s just say it’s the Enterprise after detaching the saucer and then crashing! The post print cleanup process for the 3500 printer involves a finishing oven that heats the parts to a specific temp to melt the wax. I’m sure some of my customers will ask if you can just use a toaster oven at some point, so we tried it. Obviously, it does not work. The lowest temp available was 150F which is too hot. At that point, the part material starts soften and break as well. Lesson learned! Can’t wait to get the official oven so I don’t ruin anymore parts.
Solar oven? Don’t know if the UV would harm the plastic, but it is very low tech. It shouldn’t be too hard to manipulate the temperatures available. Candy thermometer should give a fairly accurate reading when placed in colored water for checking temps. Pizza box type may be just what you need.
@N_E11 , that is a pretty good idea. UV shouldn’t harm the plastic. Actually, the 3500 HD Max uses high intensity UV flashes to cure the parts material while printing so UV from the sun should be fine.
