> 3 dayWorks great but like others have said it does make noise at the turntable when washing. It’s not very loud, it’s just irritating because it’s brand new and something you just bought should come without that type of noise. But yeah I would buy it again because of the convenience and ease of finishing my resin prints.

Greater than one weekThis wash and cure station works exactly as it should. Particularly like how easy it is to switch between modes and set the timer. The only thing I dont like is it sometimes a bit of a chore to get the magnetically mounted turntable aligned with the notches on the unit.

> 3 dayBeen using the mercury X for a couple weeks now and love it. The wash station is strong and holds really well. The magnets used to hold the bucket are really strong, and with the weight of your choice of cleaning solution it can be hard to get off sometimes. But good so no worries if anything going wrong or falling off in some way. Now because of those magnets and the buckets weight the mixer/stand it sits on is really light weight which is what makes it difficult to take off sometimes. I think adding some artificial weight would be nice to give the base some weight to counter balance it better. The curing station is great and does the job, but its the weakest of the two pieces. Two issues I have with it. First is the light source. The light source doesnt look that strong and feels to take longer to actually cure the resin properly. So it takes longer to cure. The 2nd issue is speed. The turn take is super slow. Almost painfully slow and takes way too long to make a full rotation. So you have to put it in longer to make sure it cuts correctly. I have a original anycubic wash/cure 1st gen. I could cure a piece in 2min depending on the size maybe 4min. Strong lights and fast turning. But on the Mercury X I have to run for 6-10m just to get a couple full rotations with how slow it is. Now the light placement is great! Two strips in the back and the one on the bottom (bottom could use a 2nd one too) I love the wash station, cure station can use some work. Overall its still a good product with room for improvements.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWhen they work, theyre great, maybe I just got bad units. The washing station has magnets in the base that rotate, but the connection to the motor came loose and the screw no longer can be tightened enough to stop the magnets from separating and grinding up against the plastic. Even with glue, Ive had to open the base multiple times to fix this problem and as far as I can see, its a flaw in the design. The curing station has a different problem, whatever sensor detects the cover being placed on the unit is faulty or just a bad design as well. Sometimes it works, other times I have to jam something between the cover and the wall to make the connection tighter to trigger the unit to work instead of beeping errors at me incessantly. Overall, these two machines have disappointed me quite a bit. Elegoo makes great printers, but these machines need to be designed better, especially for the price. My advice is to buy something else. I wish I could return mine.
