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

Overall, a very good wash and cure machine. For curing, it looks like the turntable has trouble turning with heavier objects.

I would really love to be able to use this and Im sure it works great for some, but I have followed all the instruction on setting it up and it wont cure or wash. It just beeps continuously when I try and do anything. Ive contacted Anycube support, but havent heard back yet. Disappointing in the tech support that there is no one I can call.

My Formlabs equivalent cure station can be set to 90 minutes. This one can be set to six minutes. Very few things will fully cure in that time, so you have to mash the button over and over. It also doesnt have any light from the top or bottom, so you have to reorient the piece several times.

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!

Guys, DO NOT leave the metal cage inside the washing container while its filled with fluid. I filled mines with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and after setting it all up, I left the cage inside alcohol in the container. Few days later, found small traces of rust on my cage. I contacted seller and explained the situation. Seller, without any problems, proceeded to send me a new cage (which arrived fairly quickly). As for the rust issue, perhaps its due to the percentage of the Isopropyl, but Ive left it outside the container and hadnt had a problem since (did also upgrade to 99% Isopropyl Alcohol). Washer is legit amazing and does the job better than what I expected. Thank you!

Excel all-in-one solution you put a bucket in it and it spins the fluid around to clean your print but then you remove the fluid put your print on the turntable in the uv lights cure it. All in one.

Saves you a lot of extra work. Just put it in machine and let it do all the work

Before getting one of these, resin printing was a chore. The post processing mess needed to complete resin prints is a pain in the rear. Then I came across this wash and cure station, now obtaining those high quality small prints are easy. It has easy washing and curing all in one unit. Great too! If youre into resin prints, get one of these, you wont regret it.

The main argument against one of these machines is generally I already have all of this functionality with my pickle jar... my ultrasonic cleaner... my UV nail light... my solar turntable thing... etc... etc... And the answer is, YES, you do have all of that. ALL OF THAT. If youre being frugal and you cant justify shelling out for one of these machines, I get it. I was there, too. But you can only be so frugal - and if your TIME and effort arent factored into your costs -- then by all means, carry on the way you are. But time and effort, to me, are important - and thats what this machine is all about. I got this after watching it in action on someone elses video review and realizing how you can pretty much throw away all that other crap and your entire dirty area collapses down to two roughly 1-foot square sections of counter. Thats IT. Once you lift the lids, you just transfer the entire build plate straight into the Wash and Cure machine -- were talking one motion here, I dont even use two gloves for this one-handed operation, so theres another staple Im cutting down on. Glove off and Im pretty much done touching anything dirty now. Once you run the wash cycle, your whole plate and print are now basically free of uncured resin. If you want/need to, you can always pop your print and supports free into the basket attachment and run it again on a short cycle to wash the contact points as well... but not often necessary. I used to have this whole song and dance routine about getting the print off the plate, making sure the plate isnt dripping onto anything else, washing the print, washing the plate, pickle jars and brushes, spray bottles and paper towels everywhere, set up the UV light and turntable, clean up everything while it cures... The only time I have ANY of that needed now is if I have a failed print and I have to clean out my resin vat or something. It is SO MUCH SIMPLER with this machine. Thats what youre buying. SIMPLIFICATION. So yes, I get it, it doesnt do anything you cant already do... but it does it all BETTER, and WAY EASIER. My only complaint is that I wish it had a handle on the top of the cover -- same odd omission I found with my printer -- but thankfully you can remedy that by printing one.

Im brand new to 3d printing and all of the Anycubic equipment has been very easy to use. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in 3d printing...
