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

Within 4 hours of owning the product it stopped functioning, no lights, no response, nothing, never even washed a single model, i don’t even know if the cure functionality ever worked; never got that far. I’ll update this review when their tech support responds to my ticket and or the email that i sent a day later. Edit 1: Tech support responded. They are having me replace the Display Board and Main board, they are shipping me the parts but its a 15 day delivery. Weird that they are having me replace the parts on the item that never worked in the first place, but Im going through with the process. Will Update when finished with repair/ when I get the parts. Edit 2: after 2 weeks i got the parts and i repaired the machine, it did work however you shouldn’t expect to have the customer repair your devices, updated from 1 star to 3 stars

Works great and as expected. Makes the whole post-processing phase so much easier. Now if I could only get my hands on a few more :)

Yeah everything works fine but my advice is after you set your timers for either washing or curing start the machine with cover off because it has trouble sensing the cover then put the cover on it should sense it right away!

Received two units that both had defects. Be careful with this product.

Good looking and easy to use machine. I’ve had my Anycubic Photon 3D printer for about 4 months now and have been printing like crazy. This wash and cure makes life so much easier. I can wash my prints right on the build plate, let them dry and cure right in the same machine. Saves space not to mention the amount of containers I was using before. This washes them thoroughly and cures them perfectly. If you want to make your printing process more streamlined, I can’t recommend this machine enough. If you’re just printing a few minis a month, then a few pickle jars will do the trick. But, if you want to print a lot, or print multi piece larger minis, this thing is awesome. It looks great and works great.

This wash and cure has its place, if you print once every week or so, then it will probably be great for you. If, however, you do at least one print run a day then after about 2 weeks it will become your nemesis. Alcohol becomes fouled with resin when you wash. The nore often you wash the faster this happens. The resin held within that alcohol will settle out as the wash container sits creating a layer of sludge in the bottom of the container. If you wash by hand this isnt that big of a deal, with this wash station, its a major issue. The sludge gets swirled through the alcohol by the impeller causing problems with washing. To clean the wash container requires the impeller to be removed, not easy when the tiny allen head screw is clogged with sludge. Draining and straining the alcohol and cleaning the wash container is an hour long job, its messy, it causes serious cross contamination problems and with the depth of the container youre going to have skin contact with either the alcohol or the sludge. On top of all that, the basket is small but has massive holes, the frame that holds the build plate limits how much of the build plate you can cover and if your print is tall and you need to use the secondary support, then your build plate volume is further limited. The cure portion of the station isnt much better. The turntable is small limiting what can be placed on it, but it vibrates severely and has a tendency to vibrate small items off of it. While the light array is good, not making the interior of the lid reflective was an oversight. Making the interior of the lid reflective would have cut curing time in half and reduced the amount of flipping of prints that is required. There is nowhere to store the turntable either and its a part that Anycubic does not carry. If you lose it, youre just out of luck. Several people have designed brackets that hold the turntable, they slide over the light array bar, the do not block the lights during curing and they are flat enough that the turntable can remain stored while the was container is being used. Theres absolutely no reason for Anycubic to have not included some sort of storage system for the turntable built into the system. All in all thus system worked well for me for about a month, then the shortcomings started showing. Ive made many purchases since I started using a resin printer roughly 8 months ago and this wash and cure was the absolute worst purchases Ive made.

The plate shakes all over and knocks the prints off the plate. This should not be a thing at all for over 200 bucks.

I love this thing , takes all the clutter on my print station, all in one champion

Great wash and cure system

Good size uv lights cure my prints well and the was station work great as well!
