ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2 in 1 3D Printing Wash and Cure Station V2 for Mars Photon S Photon Mono LCD SLA DLP 3D Printer Models

I had been using alcohol in a pickle jar, an ultrasonic cleaner, and a UV light designed for curing nail polish to clean and finish curing my resin prints as I had seen on YouTube. This Elegoo cleaner and UV light system works so much better to give a clean firm surface. I generally leave my prints on the build plate for washing which makes the whole cleaning process a lot less messy. The turntable and columns of UV lights allow a better final cure of more of the print surface.

Grabbed this to help my small time 3D print business. Simple to use and isnt too loud. Does a great job cleaning with the built in agitator, just be sure to get any bits that come off out so you dont grind them in during washing. Curing side is equally great, but for smaller prints (I do tabletop minis) I put a block on the turn table to get the print elevated a bit more in the UV light spread.

First experience with resin printing. I got the Mercury, a Mars 2 Pro and a bottle of water washable resin. I adjust the hangar so that the build plate just touches the top of the water. When the water moves it will end up flowing onto the top of the build plate to remove most of the residue there. Pleased with the results so far. Note - the sensor prevents the unit from running without the cover on, even in wash mode.

I put 5 stars even there are few things need to be improved. This is the must tool you need to have if you have 3D SLA printer. Now I dont use even gloves because dont need to touch printed things. Its very easy to use - clean then light. Its quite quiet and I dont know what loud noise users didnt like in some previous reviews. Things need to be improved are: - there need a some sensor for light/clear because sometimes wrong mode can be run, - the round platform for light mode could be changed to be attached forever, then you dont need to attach/detach it all time, - plastic cover after few uses already scratched because its to tide inside, - better to keep the same time on timer after work is done, because to add, for example, 10 minutes every time takes a lot of work pressing + button :)

Its easy to use, has some cool accessories for the wash, but the sounds it makes while washing are awful. Its super loud, high pitched, and makes a weird thudding sound. Im not super impressed with the washing aspect, but the curing step is nice. I will probably just return it and wash my prints by hand and then get the curing box just for curing my prints evenly... Not sure the washing step is helpful with this device.

Im new to SLA printing. But I have used FDM before so Im not totally stranger to how it works. But when it came. To the extensive cleaning instructions on how to cure SLA prints. I was immediately discouraged, but I saw this in a review on YouTube. Once I got it, it was a synch to set up, dont need instructions. Turntable and wash container attach to the base magnetically. Very quick and easy to switch them out when needed The controls couldnt be simpler, start stop, add 30 seconds, minus 30 seconds, and switch between clean and cure. Function is very simple and easy, I usually would take my prints and set them in the metal basket then into the container. I set an average time of 3 minutes wash. The machine will switch direction halfway through to get all the excess resin off. Then for curing, I would removed the container from station and put the turntable for curing, set my washed pieces on and WAIT until all of the alcohol from wash is gone. Then switch to cure mode (if you dont it will spin so fast it will most likely break your print). Then an average of 3-5 minutes of cure, viola your piece is done. Flip the switch and its turn off.

Picked up the wash & cure station due to my lack of familiarity of resin printing. Working with resin is much more daunting than plastic filament. The wash and cure station definitely makes the post-process procedure a lot easier for a beginner. Take your print right from the Mars to the wash&cure. Wash it down...then pop it off the base and put that light on! So far, it does exactly what its supposed to do, and Im getting things done!

I live in motels and this thing here works as advertised its a washing machine. I may only be able to wash 1 pare of socks or 1 shirt at a time but it get the job done 10/10 would buy another so I can wash 2 shirts at once. -Dan datsun mechanic 1971-1984 -sent from elagoo mars 2

The basket is not even the same, the washing lid is missing and the whole assembly is covered in crud and gunk some parts are still sticky. I didnt select to buy a pre-owned model I was buying a new one. So why did I get a pre-owned one with different parts and missing parts?

I opened the box and the first thing I notice is no manual, no protective film over the acrylic cover, no protective film over the LCD display. After opening the rest I see that the bracket to hold the build plate is missing, the glass turn table has a glob of resin on it and the washing container is completely coated with dried resin. So I thought maybe I bought a refurbished model, nope nowhere on the product description does it say used, and the invoice says new. I cant trust a company that tries to sell you a used product. They didnt even clean it up or make sure all the parts were there. Absolutely terrible.
