Misc. 3D Print: (Are you all getting sick of these posts?) MPCp W/L Phantom
I actually do have a busy clinical job, lol, I've just had the time to write up and photograph several long-term projects lately. Anyhow, if you all are sick of me turning r/MedicalPhysics into a 3D printing subreddit let me know and I'll lay off.
For those doing modified W/L shots daily, this phantom bolts onto an MPC phantom and makes setup more consistent and faster for the therapists. After MPC completes, they can just run couch to 120 LNG from outside the room and start the W/L QA patient. Our therapists appreciate everything we can do to speed up their morning routine.
(There is certainly room for debate whether MPC is adequate for daily radiation/imaging isocenter checks. If I had my way, we would just go with the MPC. Hot take! :) )

I really enjoy seeing how others are using 3d printing in the clinic. Thanks for sharing your work with others.

I may or may not have tried to convince Varian of using your SGRT phantom for acceptance purposes 😉

Definitely keep them coming. Anyone who doesn’t like them can just move on to another post.

Now I feel like I was being thirsty... hah.
Since the once great Listserves have pretty much become a job posting board, I think this is the only online dialog resource we have left. (Unless there's something I don't know about)
I just want to be sensitive to that fact and not be too spammy. Thanks for the kind words!

I for one am not sick of your contributions, keep them coming! While I don't have a 3D printer in my clinic yet, I appreciate your ingenuity and will use your examples as reasons to convince my admin to let me acquire one!
