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

We bought this and worked great for a few weeks then turned on and smelled burning and it fried. We reported it and Amazon replaced it in just a few days. The new one works great. We love it.

If you got the extra fund would def invest in this. Very organizes. Save so much desk space

everyone with a Mars printer should have one of these! It makes life so much easier. I still pre-rinse my prints in a separate tub of IPA, and I post rinse in another clean tub, but this machine does all the dirty work, and gets my build plate clean. The curing works great too although I wish it had a UV light on the bottom so I didn’t have to flip my print over halfway. Hopefully, they will make a version that fits the Saturn too.

I dont know how anyone can 3d print without this great machine. It makes cleaning and curing so easy.

I live in motels and this thing here works as advertised its a washing machine. I may only be able to wash 1 pare of socks or 1 shirt at a time but it get the job done 10/10 would buy another so I can wash 2 shirts at once. -Dan datsun mechanic 1971-1984 -sent from elagoo mars 2

I am a long time FDM printing geek, but just getting into resin printing. This works awesome along side the Mars 2 Pro I have. The first prints Ive done were quickly and easily cleaned and cured. The bucket is filled with 99% IPA, and in 1-2 minutes of cleaning the parts are good to go. Then curing is crazy fast. I am a fan, given the inherent messiness and hazards of resin printing, this makes things one step easier. Worth the price!

Lets start out with the most asked question, is it worth buying. Yes, the only caveat to that is it may not be large enough for your prints, in which case it may make sense to wait for the rumored AnyCubic large washer continue with the DIY methods most use. Note: The rumored AnyCubic will likely have a significantly larger price to match. The Bad: Now the details... as mentioned before it definitely is louder than it needs to be. Using a stepper motor is fine... and loud, but that is to be expected, so Im not fully counting that. The noises that I mark it down on are fully avoidable. For example, the fan that cools the unit is louder than Id expect, the beeps are ANNOYINGLY loud, and the unit has foregone bearings in rather key areas. I will also mark them down on sound from the odd mechanical noises the steppers make when starting and stopping. This noise sounds like too much play in a gearbox/gear mesh of some sort. If youve ever heard a loose gear mesh chirp youll know what Im speaking of. Obviously not confidence inspiring for longevity. Previously mentioned, the lack of a bearing in the impeller seems to be an odd design choice. Full disclosure I could be wrong as I havent disassembly it to confirm. But it feels like theres no bearing as well when I ran it without fluid it sounded as though it was about to die. As soon as I put some fluid in it ran smoothly. Wash Function: Now on to the function of the machine. It functions similar to the AnyCubic Wash and Cure. Like the AnyCubic it defaults oddly in the cure mode, Im sure theres a reason for this but it escapes me. Once you select the Wash mode via the button you are able to select any time from 2-6 mins in 30 second intervals (something the AnyCubic cant do). Once the time is selected and the unit begins to ramp up its speed it will wash for 50% of the cycle and then stop and change directions, just as the AnyCubic does for the remainder of the time. Once done, you will need to remove the print dry it and set the machine up for curing. Cure Function: The curing is very straight forward, set the mode (if its not defaulted) select a time (again from 2-6 mins in 30 second intervals) and start the cycle. It is worth noting it is fairly easy to overcure, so start with 2 mins and work your way up depending on the size of your print. Also of note, for those of you worried about the lack of a bottom curing light, dont. Being those layers were cured for minutes at a time in the original printing theres little more the machine could do to cure those layers further. Safety Measures: The safety measures are similar to the AnyCubic, meaning you cant wash or cure without the UV cover on. Summary: In summary the unit works well, if only a little loud. Personally, I suspect there might longevity issues down the road, but honestly most of those problems can be corrected with a little DIY. And while we all say its loud, it not as bad as a ultrasonic cleaner. Overall, the ease of use... which is GREAT, combined with a little planning really cut down on the resin contact. This helps two ways, safety and less resin mess on everything. Both huge positives, if youve ever worked with resin you know what I mean.

This cure station has made resin printing sooo much more enjoyable for me. Trust me, it lowers the pain in the ass threshold for getting your prints processed by a lot. You will not regret getting it and you WILL wonder how you ever got along without it.

Does its job, does it well. I wish i had read the instructions before I used it though to have made my life easier but spilling rubbing alcohol is my fault and an easy cleanup, the instructions explain how to insert a resin tray without the hassle i had.

Worked perfectly for 28 days then one of the LED cooling fans went bad. Contacted the manufacturer and they were super responsive, couple email exchanges later and the replacement parts were shipped. The parts were direct from China so it took about a month for them to get here and then I had to completely disassemble the unit to replace the fan. Not a huge deal breaker, but it would have been easier to ship me a new unit and then send them the broke one back. I would buy it again.
