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 bought this machine in February and by May the wash bin agitator failed. Even after careful disassembly and cleaning it still refuses to turn with the magnetic base as it should. There is no built-up resin, breaks, warps of any kind. The cure chamber works great and easy simple to use. 3 starts simply because the wash bin failed for no reason after only a couple months and fairly light use.

Cleaning and curing the print after its been printed is something you have to do after each print. It is a chore and my least favorite thing about the 3D printing hobby (maybe behind taking off the supports). If I didnt purchase this machine I would not have printed as much as I do. It makes the workflow of 3D printing so much more enjoyable. Print is done, take it off the plate and throw it in the basket. While its cleaning your print for you, refill the reservoir and start the next print. Once its done cleaning, take the print off the supports and cure. If you are burned out on 3D printing and dont own one, this may revitalize your desire to print because it takes cleaning and curing the prints out of your hands.

So in my experience if you have one of the Elegoo printers (Mars, Mars Pro, Mars 2, Mars 2 Pro) or a printer of similar dimensions then this is the perfect all in one solution for washing and curing. This worked perfectly with 70-90% Isopropyl and works even better with 200% denatured alcohol. After a wash cycle there is no stickiness at all. I had originally planned to make my own curing station with a rotating base and a UV LED and washing station with an ultrasonic cleaner. However, I was concerned with possible fire hazards with the ultrasonic vaporizing excessive flammable vapor. I came across this device and it was perfect. It combined both washing and curing in a small affordable package and I am glad that I decided to get it. Favorite Features: 1. You can dip the entire Elegoo Mars print bed into the washing tank cleaning the print and the bed at the same time. This saves time in my workflow and I really like this feature 2. All in one work flow saves me alot of time and keeps the mess low Below are some things to know before you buy. None of the things below are big deals but I want to provide honest feedback/observations for anyone looking to get this product: 1. Extra/Replacement wash containers are not YET sold on amazon I hope in the future they will sell them so that I can get an extra one to extend the life of my washing solution. However, if you need one just contact their customer support and they will totally take care of you :) 2. The main motor that drives the spinning of the magnetic stirrer and the rotation of the plexi glass stand for stirring emits a noticeable stepper motor whine when it is moving at max speed while operating in the wash mode. Its about as loud as a normal 3D printer stepper motor making a fast move without micro stepping. This is not really that big of a deal for two reasons. One it is in my garage, and two the washing process isnt really that long so even if I was not in my garage it would not really bother me all that much. 3. Just like stated in the description this is not really designed for water washable resin. I tried it out and it kind of worked but water washable resin really needs some flowing water to get it clean. I am also new to resin printing so I will update this if I figure out how to make this more effective with water. 4. The beeping noise that is emitted when you press the buttons is kind of loud and to my knowledge cannot be shut off (Its like the same volume as a microwave). This does not really bother me though but it is just something to know.

I used to work in an office with a $5000 printer and it was a pain in the neck to wash our prints with a tooth brush and alcohol, and then to cure it in a little nail-salon UV lamp. It was a weird, junky setup I know... I recently got the elegoo mars 2 and decided to shell out the extra $150 for this bad boy as well and holy cow am I grateful I did. 1. This thing is so simple to use. Put the large container of your desired cleaning liquid on the thing, push a few buttons and it cleans it. Take the tub off and slap on the magnetic lazy Susan, push the same few buttons and itll cure it. 2. Its actually the same size as the printer (mars 2), just a few inches shorter. The shroud could even be used interchangeably. This is nice for uniformity of your work area. 3. The uniform cure is so nice, it is so much easier than personally rotating the model under a uv lamp or whatever youre using, you may have to change orientation so it cures the base as well, but honestly, its amazing. Some tips. You may not necessarily need to use IPA to clean your models. Look into mean green or simple green and how well they clean models. Ive been using the Elegoo ABS-like grey resin and I wash the prints in a solution of 3:2 simple green:water for about 15 minutes (half way through it automatically reverses the direction of spinning). Then I take it outside and over a couple boxes I spray 99% IPA over the models to get any excess resin off (theres often a bit on top of the printing bed). After that I rinse it with a hose in the backyard to get off as much simple green as possible. Then I set it in a box inside and dry it with a hairdryer. When its as dry as I can get it (about one or two minutes), I cure it for 10 minutes and it comes out dry and perfect. Absolutely no tack after the cure. The resin itself is great. Quite durable for 3d printing. Highly recommend.

This is very good for curing as long as you line the pegs on the base with the magnet in the base of the unit. The washer is also great as long as it is a lined. I really like this a lot for the two in one feature. So far. so very good!

Ive only used it once so far but works great easy set up and clean up

I use the Mercury Plus to wash and cure my game minis. I have had this in my workflow for a couple of months and I can say it has saved tons of time and materials. This is a tool in the must-have category.

After slightly over a year and only off-and-on use, the turntable died. It appears to be the motor. Its out of warranty and Elegoo does not offer internal replacement parts. Would not buy again.

Buena máquina de lavado y curado. Aunque mi impresora no es Elegoo, compre esta porque es más económica y funciona de maravilla.

Excellent addition for my work flow. I had a problem with the container and they were quick to make it right. I will be buying from Elegoo again. I highly recommend this product and this company
