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

A waste of $ as I can only use the curing station

This item is not strictly necessary but It makes post processing prints so much easier. No fiddling around with big tubs or jars of IPA or leaving your prints out in the sun. For the price this thing pays for itself very quickly in time saved. Since Ive been using this theres much less mess involved in the entire printing process.

Great product.

very easy to use and interface is intuitive. works very well and it does everything you need after your print is done.

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

Works as intended. Easily setup and operation.

Washing and curing all in one station. Easy to use and works great.

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

**ATTENTION** I have seen multiple reviews as well as Reddit posts saying the cure station doesn’t work when the lid is on. I found out that the reason why is that these clowns removed the sticker that literally says “Do not remove”. The sticker is required to tell the machine that the lid is on. If you remove it, your cure station will not work. Honestly I do wish they maybe would’ve just painted that square or something like that since the sticker looks a little clunky, but honestly it’s not too bad. This is exactly what I was looking for. I returned my Mercury Plus for the X, & I am VERY satisfied. I was having issues with anything large even from the Mars 2 pro not even fitting in the Mercury plus, but I do NOT see that issue arising with the Mercury X

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.
