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

Works completely as advertised! No complaints at all

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.

A bit ago i bought a Photon S. I love it! Its brought my 3d printing experience to a whole new level. That being said, the amount of space Ive had to put aside in my craft room for curing, cleaning etc was a little daunting. I was SO excited when I saw Any cubic bring out a wash and curing station! I have to say, its one of the best purchases along side of my resin printer. Not only has it cleared up room in my craftroom, but it makes this all a BREEZE. What a genius idea. I never expected this to make as much of a difference as it has in my life. It honestly has made me ask myself, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY 3D RESIN PRINTING LIFE?? it saves on space, I can get rid of all my old Tupperware containers I was using for wash stations, and all the extra UV lights I had to cure. You cant even imagine how much extra space I have now. I love the basket that it comes with, so I dont need to grab my print in the container. The platform is wide, plenty wide for curing. If youre on the fence about getting this, dont be. Its truly a lifesaver for any resin printer. Fantastic job yet again, Any cubic. This is why Im a returning customer. Keep up the innovations.

This is a must have item if you are getting into resin printing. It is a all in one machine that washes great and then you can cure your prints with ease on a turntable, just set your timer and walk away. Over all great product.

This wash and cure station does an amazing job consolidating the worst parts of resin printing into an easy clean workflow. The only drawback to resin printing was always the cleanup, and getting the models to cure perfectly with my improvised light solution. A few of my friends had raved about this station, so I pulled the trigger. It is awesome. The washing vat accommodating the plate is really cool and the lights cure much more efficiently than my previous solution. I cant imagine being more satisfied!

This Station is a godsend for your resin printing needs. I could not be more thrilled with my purchase.

Ive been using my 3D printer to create RPG miniatures - the issue with cleaning these with a brush is how delicate some of the thin pieces can get. I can get arthritis from cleaning too many figures, so this machine is absolutely perfect to help me clean my prints. Curing is faster and feels sturdier than when I do traditional air-curing outside. Overall, this product saves me time, saves my hands, and isnt very expensive for the benefit. I definitely hope to use this for some time.

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.

Although Im pretty adept at FDM printing, Im very new to resin (SLA) printing. I knew when I decided to dive into SLA that I would want a nice setup for washing and curing my prints. I also wanted something that looked good too. I didnt just want a cardboard box with a light over it. I originally couldnt justify the price of the AnyCubic Wash & Cure, so I scoured Amazon for parts to make my own nice looking cure station. By the time I found a setup I liked, I realized that I was almost spending just as much, so I went ahead and bought the AnyCubic. Honestly, Im glad I did. This thing makes washing and curing so easy its worth the price. I set it up on my workstation with a silicone mat and some paper towels and I was in business. All I have to do is throw my build plate into the AnyCubic and the machine washes both my print AND my build plate (bonus). I also have the option of setting the print in the provided basket and washing it that way too. Once its done washing, I set my print on a paper towel, dry it off, swap out the container for the platform on the AnyCubic and set it to cure. PROS: * Can be used with just about any resin printer. It works just as well with my QIDI Shadow as it does for AnyCubics resin printers. If you have a super large print (like something that could be printed on the S-Box or the Saturn) you would likely have a problem with the size, but most prints will fit in this machine. * Comes with extras that allow you to wash on or off the build plate. * Seriously easy to use. * Timer options. 2, 4, and 6 minutes. For both washing and/or curing. * Stop button so you can stop mid-wash or mid-cure if needed * Excellent washing. I mean it, this sucker creates a tornado. It gets in those hard to reach spaces. And it changes spin direction halfway through the wash. * Safety - it only works when the lid is on. So you dont have to worry about being blinded by UV light if you accidentally start it without the lid on (ask me how I know) * Can handle any liquid. Ive used IPA, Mean Green, Simple Green, and Denatured Alcohol. It works great with all of them. (Denatured Alcohol works the best for me.) * Looks and feels great. It has a minimal foot print and can easily be placed next to the resin printer on an IKEA Lack table (you FDMers out there know what I mean, right?) Its also solid. It doesnt feel like cheap plastic. Not even the lid. * They have their own Facebook Group with active AnyCubic employees CONS: Not a lot, to be honest, but if I had to list any... * Longer time options. Maybe a 10 or 12 minute option added. * Fingerprints, ammIright? * Id love for it to be a tad bigger. Or hopefully have AnyCubic offer another larger-sized station. I plan to eventually upgrade to a larger resin printer, but Im hoping someone (*cough*AnyCubic*cough*) will come out with a good super-sized wash and cure station first. * Additional containers. Id love to have a second container to rinse my prints without having to swap out the liquid (they are already offering this in the Facebook group, and hopefully will be easily available on Amazon soon). All-in-all I highly recommend it. Its worth it. It really is.

It does as described, but Im returning this because the printer I was using with it is junk. I was so put off by the printer that Im not working with this manufacturer.
