Ultrasonic cleaning

I made the plunge and ordered an ultrasonic cleaner.  Yes, you can clean 3d printed parts without it, but I want to reduce the effort.  I also do not plan on using bedtime...there's a fair bit of confusion that the wax makes the parts translucent and that when they are clean, they are I opaque white.  As an engineer, I am completely comfortable stating that this is only half true...the opaque finish is from the bestine attacking the acrylic...the opaque white is akin to putting a million tiny scratches into acrylic sheet...no thank you.

The ultrasonic cleaner should arrive a couple days before my first sets of or&l freight car hardware arrives from Shapeways.
