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’m loving the Mercury Plus. Like everything Elegoo does they take a concept and make it better. It has streamlined my cleaning and curing process.

I recently started 3D resin printing and figured I didnt need a wash and cure station. I quickly realized how messy this hobby can be and the wash and cure greatly reduces that mess. Any tools success is greatly affected by how it is used and developing handling processes to keep as clean as possible will help you greatly. My only criticism of this unit ( and most units probably) is the lack of a way to cure hollowed prints. If the makers of these cure stations could design a port (think of the OPTICAL ports on audio equipment) and a short fiber optic cable to get inside a hollowed print, that would be great. I know you can make your own flexible UV LED cable or use a UV flashlight, but it just seems to make sense to just build it into the machine.

Simple system and simple response

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 used to cure my resin prints with cheap UV lamps and cheap rotating plates. Thank God I upgraded to this. The dual function is the best feature of this product. You can clean and cure your prints with the same machine, how cool is that. Again, stop using cheap alternatives, and get this, youll see the difference immediatly. Plus it looks super cool next to my Mars Pro!

Ive been printing mdf for years, but just recently took the plunge into SLA. Ive been printing non stop and the post processing was slowing me down. Within just two weeks this has already made my printing throughput much faster and simpler to do. Wouldnt print without it again.

The first unit worked for about 3 days, and it was great while it worked, but stopped powering on. The replacement unit didnt power on out of the box. I would not recommend this unit, you cannot trust the longevity of the product.

Absolutely perfect

Product has worked really well and I have to say the customer service has been on point. When it arrive I had a small part that had been broken in shipping, and one email to them was all it took to fix it. They responded very quickly and within hours I had a tracking number for the replacement part. Small problems like this will always pop up, but its how the company handles it that makes the difference. Will definitely buy from them again.

I got this curing station because in raining days is impossible to get the good UV rays. Also I like the isopropyl alcohol rotating system making it a little less messy for the curing process. I put the build plate with the prints directly in the plastic container without having to touch the resin with my hands. The only weak point is how fragile the top of the plastic container feels and I hope if Elegoo will start selling them apart in the future. Apart from that, this is a good curing station. ***************** UPDATE ******************************* At the end of 2022, I am still using this station. It is not recommended to use only water on it because it can damage the magnets in the rotation system. It was designed to be used with isopropyl alcohol, since it has non oxidation and is used for cleaning metal and electronics. I am using 80% simple green and 20% water on this machine to clean my water based resin prints. Another minor problem is the rotation disk. Sometimes is difficult to put it in place when you want to UV cure something. You have to find the holes to snap-fit the curing disk to the rotating surface. Apart from that, it keeps working.
