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

This thing is amazing! It speeds up resin curing and washing. So much better than leaving in the sun or my home made curing oven. Anycubic was great to answer all my questions before purchasing. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

I expected this device to be a positive improvement for my 3d printing, but I hadnt anticipated the kind of difference it would make. Like most people I saw this device, thought Eh, kind of interesting, but it just does things I already have a set up for. Eventually though I was convinced to take a chance on it (being stuck at home for the coronavirus social distancing/quarantining certainly helped since I was doing more printing as a result). I was quite surprised. First, it was a big space saver. My old set up was a tupperware of IPA for initial wash, an ultrasonic cleaner for a second rinsing, and then a 5 gallon bucket lined with UV leds with a solar powered rotating display stand. This device replaced all of that and it left me with a lot of space. That extra space has also helped me keep the work area cleaner. Second, its really convenient. The alternate means of immersing the prints, the wide platform for curing, and plenty of other little things show that this is a device that some thought went into. Its well designed and it does its jobs well. Its hard to point to a single thing, but it definitely makes what is often the most tedious parts of resin printing faster and more enjoyable. The only thing I would put as a warning - the manual doesnt say this (at least not anywhere I saw), but none of the functions work without the protective cover on. This makes sense for the cure mode, but was very confusing when I was attempting to clean some prints the first time. I nearly thought the machine was broken until I tried putting the cover on to see if that made a difference (after at least 15 minutes of trying it in every other possible configuration and with multiple different outlets). If you can spare the funds and are thinking about this device, I strongly recommend making the purchase.

Although Im pretty adept at FDM printing, Im very new to resin (SLA) printing. I knew when I decided to dive into SLA that I would want a nice setup for washing and curing my prints. I also wanted something that looked good too. I didnt just want a cardboard box with a light over it. I originally couldnt justify the price of the AnyCubic Wash & Cure, so I scoured Amazon for parts to make my own nice looking cure station. By the time I found a setup I liked, I realized that I was almost spending just as much, so I went ahead and bought the AnyCubic. Honestly, Im glad I did. This thing makes washing and curing so easy its worth the price. I set it up on my workstation with a silicone mat and some paper towels and I was in business. All I have to do is throw my build plate into the AnyCubic and the machine washes both my print AND my build plate (bonus). I also have the option of setting the print in the provided basket and washing it that way too. Once its done washing, I set my print on a paper towel, dry it off, swap out the container for the platform on the AnyCubic and set it to cure. PROS: * Can be used with just about any resin printer. It works just as well with my QIDI Shadow as it does for AnyCubics resin printers. If you have a super large print (like something that could be printed on the S-Box or the Saturn) you would likely have a problem with the size, but most prints will fit in this machine. * Comes with extras that allow you to wash on or off the build plate. * Seriously easy to use. * Timer options. 2, 4, and 6 minutes. For both washing and/or curing. * Stop button so you can stop mid-wash or mid-cure if needed * Excellent washing. I mean it, this sucker creates a tornado. It gets in those hard to reach spaces. And it changes spin direction halfway through the wash. * Safety - it only works when the lid is on. So you dont have to worry about being blinded by UV light if you accidentally start it without the lid on (ask me how I know) * Can handle any liquid. Ive used IPA, Mean Green, Simple Green, and Denatured Alcohol. It works great with all of them. (Denatured Alcohol works the best for me.) * Looks and feels great. It has a minimal foot print and can easily be placed next to the resin printer on an IKEA Lack table (you FDMers out there know what I mean, right?) Its also solid. It doesnt feel like cheap plastic. Not even the lid. * They have their own Facebook Group with active AnyCubic employees CONS: Not a lot, to be honest, but if I had to list any... * Longer time options. Maybe a 10 or 12 minute option added. * Fingerprints, ammIright? * Id love for it to be a tad bigger. Or hopefully have AnyCubic offer another larger-sized station. I plan to eventually upgrade to a larger resin printer, but Im hoping someone (*cough*AnyCubic*cough*) will come out with a good super-sized wash and cure station first. * Additional containers. Id love to have a second container to rinse my prints without having to swap out the liquid (they are already offering this in the Facebook group, and hopefully will be easily available on Amazon soon). All-in-all I highly recommend it. Its worth it. It really is.

Had to return the original order for a replacement. Replacement is a mixed bag. It comes packaged very well, with pretty good instructions. The machine does what it is supposed to very well, washes your resin prints and then cures them. It is easy to use. Most of the materials used to build this are very good and sturdy, but beware of the cheap components where they cut corners, like with the power brick. The same day I pulled my unit out of the box the cord came loose immediately, where the cord meets the brick. I had to put a huge gob of heated glue on the unit to keep the cord in place and not moveable (see picture). I knocked off a star for that.

As always anycubic knocks it out of the park. I cant say enough about the customer service from these guys and girls.

Washing and curing made easy. Ive loved this as it keeps the process after printing neat and clean for my work station. The Isopropyl alcohol is kept in a sealed container that you place on the machine to wash. I even accidently knocked it over while the lid was on and no spill! This is definitely worth the extra few dollars to make the process efficient and easy.

Got it On time with no damage to box or cleaning station. Seems as it should be.

I’ll be honest. I was pretty disappointed when I received it, and it could not fit the Anycubic Photon M3 build plate. I didn’t look into it since the official website for Anycubic pairs the Photon M3 with the Wash & Cure station 2.0. So I didn’t think I would need the plus version of the Wash and Cure for the Photon M3. So personally, I feel a bit disappointed in that Aside from that, it seems to clean the excess resin well. It looks like it does a gentle swirl so if you’re expecting something stronger this might not be it for you. The cure part of it works very well. The final product looks nice and detailed. In the end, it gets the job done and is convenient to have. But do some personal research on the product’s details before relying on the official site as some guidance.

This thing is great. Has everything I need in one package and looks great sitting next to my photon S. Easy to use interface, and the tech support is a wonderful help. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

I like this little machine! Its super easy to use. Comes with a wire basket and a wire shelf extender for the basket, which I use to put my vat on while cleaning it so it doesnt touch my table. Cures stuff really nice, and having hands-free washing is a great plus! Highly recommend.
