ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2.0 Wash and Cure Station, Upgraded 2 in 1 Design Washing UV Resin Curing Machine with Washing Container and Busket for LCD/DLP/SLA Mars Photon S Photon Mono 3D Printed Models

Mercury Plus 2.0 Wash and Cure Station is very simple and easy to use. Elegoo, has been great with their customer support. They have been very responsive every time Ive had a problem with my Saturn. In the past they have sent me extra FEPs, and a replacement LCD screen, at no cost to me. Of course you have to fit in certain timelines with the date of your purchase.

I bought this to use with my Anycubic Photon Mono X2, the build plate fits perfectly on the supports within the washing station. This allows the build plate to be washed as well. I appreciate that the spinner will spin in one direction, then about half way through the cleaning cycle it slows down and spins in the other direction. I always put my prints through an initial dirty wash in a separate container, side note: a salad spinner works great, then move the prints to the washing station. This keeps the alcohol clean and lasts longer. The Curing station needs some assembly but the directions are easy to understand. One light tower is connected to two connections, and the other tower is connected to one connection so it is very difficult to do it wrong. They include all the necessary screws and tools to assemble. There is a sticker on one corner of the curing station lid, this sticker is used in conjunction with a sensor on the Left tower to ensure the lid is in place. I like this safety feature.

This Elegoo product is a great match for my Mars 3. It is easy to use and setup and takes up a small amount of space.

Easy use

Works well. Does the job. But was recommended to be used with my saturn. Its a lot smaller

UPDATE: I BOUGHT THIS in March 2022 the light board stopped working but elegoo did send me a replacement but NOW the spinner on the wash bucket wont work. Works and does its thing it washes and cures

Works as intended. Easily setup and operation.

The item description says its not for water washable resin, but it works fine for me. I assume theyre talking about dropping models directly into the basket, where the agitation could possibly cause pieces to break off as they rattle around. I wash everything directly on the build plate and it works fine. I consider this a necessary item for my preferred workflow. I used pickle jars and a stand alone UV curing box for a while but I just found it all too cumbersome. Maybe Im just lazy. Im fine with that.

Easy to use. Quiet. Cleans resin prints really well. Curing is good but I wish the plate was bigger for larger prints

So I started using the thing and within the first week, the IPA has floating resin blobs in it. So when Im washing the models, all of a sudden, theyre coming out with extra detail that shouldnt be there. Little blobs of resin that are near impossible to get off without damaging the mini. Ive gone back to using my little pickle jar
