ANYCUBIC Wash and Cure Station, Newest Upgraded 2 in 1 Wash and Cure 2.0 Machine for Mars Anycubic Photon S Photon Mono LCD SLA DLP 3D Printer Models UV Rotary Curing Resin Box

A time saver worth having

So my Anycubic Wash and Cure station came in yesterday and I was eager to try it, especially since I have heard great things about it. So I loaded up a print on my printer and as soon as it got done printing I was able to take it off my build plate because I have an Elegoo Mars and not a Photon so my print bed doesnt fit, but that doesnt matter because I was able to put my print in the basket. I did find out that you have to have the lid on for it to work as a safety(Smart!) took me a minute to figure that out lol. Long story short this machine cuts down your time and mess cleaning resin prints and is well worth the coin. If you run a 3D printing business I highly recommend getting one, you wont be disappointed.

Throw out all the junk and clutter. This sweet box will change your life. It will save your time, energy, and money. It is also simply cool to use.

Man Im glad I picked this up! So Im relatively new to 3D printing, after getting a resin printer for the holidays by my company (Thanks!). At first I decided to save a bit of money by washing the prints in one of those plastic containers you get soup in from my local Chinese food place (After its been properly washed, of course). I got a water-washable resin and started my first prints. It was a disaster. The problem with washing the prints the way I did was that the resin that gets shaken off eventually settles onto the prints themselves, causing this weird artifact issue. Then getting the prints properly cured is sometimes a pain because finding a place with good sunlight can be a challenge in my house. So a friend of mine recommended the washing station. Initially I hesitated over the price, but after all the issues with the prints I decided to give in and get myself an early birthday present. Wow. What a difference! The machine itself is VERY solid and quite well constructed. I really, really like the interior metal basket design as I can place my print (Including the build plate if I need/want to) onto the basket and its completely and properly supported inside the plastic washing tank. The metal basket also gives you enough clearance from the fins at the bottom that rotate to swirl the cleaning material around. Its dead simple to use, with a single button that lets you choose from washing mode or curing mode. Note that the washing tank is large enough to fit anything that I can print, so there is enough space in all three axis to fit (For reference I have an Anycubic Photon Mono 4K). There is a solid rotating knob that lets you select the amount of time you want to set the wash or cure for, and when it is complete you get a nice loud audible pinging to let you know its done. The cure portion of the station is similarly easy to do. When you take off the washing tank from the station you can put the clear turntable onto the central knob, and put your prints onto the clear rotating table. Put the cover on, press the button to switch to cure mode, set the time, and press in the rotating knob for the time in and off it goes. Couldnt be easier, and does a fantastic job in curing whatever you printed from ALL angles. Overall, from a sheer convenience factor I am soooooooo glad I picked this up. Having a single place that I can handle all washing and curing is a huge deal and my prints have benefited greatly from this station. If you havent grabbed one, try it. It might be a huge time saver and a saver of your prints!

The best way to clean and cure resin prints.

Good

Its a simple product that saves me a lot of time. Being able to wash the resin off my prints while still on the build plate erases most of the frustration I have with the post print process. Clean it, air dry, then put it back in and cure. Will pay for itself in cleaning solution alone.. not to mention gloves, time and no more mess!

I was a little intimidated with this at first, being a 3D printer with Filament, but this was easy to use, very user friendly. i love the detail, ease of cleaning, and it doesnt have to be a certain temperature to print. I highly recommend this.

Machine became stuck on Cure setting and became an unusable piece of junk

This one device replaced a couple of post processing steps. I would typically burn through gloves removing the prints from the base plate. Paper towels to wipe up drips, paper towels to wipe up the base plate. Gloves to move the prints from the iso to the sink. Scrubbing prints gently with soap and water. Placing them into my uv chamber. I have reduced my contact with resin and iso and post processing has become relatively painless… except for removing supports. I print with a Elegoo Saturn so I printed some clips to sit in the corner of the top and bottom shelves (wash and cure plus corner for Saturn on Thingiverse). I will keep updating as time passes as I’ve only had it a few days. Probably print some handles for the cover.
