ANYCUBICWash and Cure Machine 3.0, 2 in 1 UV Washing and Curing Station for ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 2 Mars Series LCD/DLP/SLA 3D Printer Models, with Twistable Gooseneck Light

The wash and cure 2.0 is an excellent option to wash and cure your prints, it takes away the most tedious part of resin 3D printing, and I love it for that.The clean station is a bucket with a metallic thing at the bottom that spins and moves the water around, it changes direction every two minutes with a weird low volume robot sound, it will let you know when it's done with another sound, prints come out clean, although I prefer to rinse the prints before using the bucket, just to keep that material cleaner, so that it lasts longer.The cure station is pretty cool, it has a column of UV lights, and a adjustable 1 bulb light for those tight spaces, it's cool, just remember to turn it on.Overall it's a solid option, I like it.

This machine is extremely convenient. It fits perfectly with the Photon Mono X build plate and simplifies the post processing of prints.It does its job very well. There are just some quality of life improvements I feel should have been implemented.At $250 it is a bit expensive (especially considering there is no heater) for what it is, but I haven't seen a better alternative for this size printer. I do often see it on sale though.Pros:-Washing motor is fast, and every minute or two it switches direction. Great for agitating the alcohol around the model.-Ability to angle top LED array to get top model coverage-Basket is nice and has a separate piece for placing the build plate inside-Looks great next to the Photon Mono X. Same basic dimensions and aesthetics.Cons:-In curing mode, the turntable does not rotate smoothly, causing vibrations in the print that could be an issue depending on the model geometry-The turntable and reflective sheet need to be removed for wash mode. Its annoying to need a place for them half the time (I started leaving the reflective sheet in for wash mode)-No heater. Many other wash cure stations have a heater that preheats the cure chamber, or at least heats the chamber as it cures.

Just got into resin 3DP after 3 years of only FDM, and oh my is it something else.At first I was washing and curing with a pickle jar and a salad spinner, it does the job, but the Anycubic Wash and Cure Machine Plus is a total game changer.Do you really need a wash and cure machine like this one? no you don’t, UNTIL YOU TRY IT. Once you see how much easier and how well it cleans in just a few minutes you’ll realize you did need it, you just didn’t know it then.The magnetic blades inside the plastic container really stirs the solvent, and every 2 minutes it changes direction to have a deeper clean of your prints.When using it in curing mode, the tilting top of the LED tower is great to have the object receive UV light from every angle, specially if you install the reflective sheet on the bottom.And how could I forget the size, this thing is HUUUUUGE, this is a 2 in 1 machine very hard to outgrow, so this will be a great investment for small, medium and large prints.The W&C station comes very well packed, extremely easy to setup, if you watched a video or 2 you will not even have to read the manual.Love the 2 in 1, that saves a ton of space in your print table.If you are considering to buy something like this, look no further, you will not find something better at that price, with that size and that quality.

Just unboxed and tried to set up - the inside part of the control panel is completely detached and just rattling around inside. I can't initiate a return or exchange through Amazon, apparently, so I am writing this negative review in hopes that I can get some help. If I get help from Anycubic that is satisfactory, I will update this review. I just want a replacement that is not broken. Packaging was fine, no sign of damage in shipping, so I assume this is a quality control issue.EDIT - Amazon and Anycubic were really good about sending me a replacement and getting it here in a timely manner. The replacement wash station works really well and I have had no issues with it. It definitely meets my needs. My ONLY complaint and the reason it is getting a 4 start instead of a 5 star review is that the wash bucket lid has this weird camel hump on it, so when i am not using the machine, I can't just place the orange UV shield over the bucket and the machine and store it nicely. Would give it a 5 star review. Also... the rubber gasket in in the wash bucket lid falls out all the time and is super annoying to put back in. Otherwise good product.

I have been resin 3d printing for a little over a year now, I got this lovely machine in last week.Using the wash and cure 2 has been amazing, it makes cleaning my 3d printed miniatures so much easier. I no longer have to use buckets of resin and manually shaking the mini. The wash cycle is so easy to use, I let my build plate drip any extra resin off for a few minutes after the print is done, then I pop it in the wash cycle while still on the build plate for 10 mins. When I come back I remove the plate and pop off the prints. They have been much cleaner than my manually hand washed ones and not having to stand over the resin bucket has been great. I do not miss the fumes of doing it manually.The cure cycle of the machine does a great job, there is a reflector in the bottom to ensure the bottom of your prints are cured as well. For my miniatures I have been running 6 mins for the cure cycle. They cure evenly and look great, I really wish I never waited on buying one. It is very much worth the money.The box that my machine arrived in was sturdy and we'll packaged, everything unpacked quickly and easily and I got to use it within a few mins. I had a print ready and waiting to test it right away. I give this a perfect 5/5 score. It looks better than having random resin buckets in my print area and it's cleaner and easier to use.
