About this deal

If you have done some post-processing work for your resin-based 3D prints, then you’d know how easy it is to screw things up. You can get a model that’s been in alcohol for longer than it needs to be. The resin is unevenly hardened, or some parts of it might warp.

With the Creality UW-01, you can just leave the solution inside the washing machine container. It will not oxidize or evaporate because it is sealed. The build quality is very good in both Wash & Cure devices. The Elegoo Mercury Plus leaves a somewhat more solid impression due to its approximately one kilogram higher weight. However, it has to admit defeat to the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 in continuous operation. The limitation of the operating time to 30 minutes has a good reason. The L-shaped light strip design also makes the upper UV lamp adjustable, so that the model is also sufficiently cured from above. However, the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 only offers the option to permanently mount the print bed from the Anycubic Photon and Photon S printers in wash tanks. The mount is not compatible with the build platforms of other 3D printers. Build platforms from other printers that do not fit in the holder can only be placed on the wash basket with the models facing downwards, but cannot be fixed. Provided the build platform is not too large and the models are smaller than the inside height of the wash basket.

After washing, you can now proceed to clean your 3D Prints by taking off the supports and cleaning away any excess material. You can simply break them off using nothing but your hands. A resin 3D printer creates unattainable details compared to FDM printers. However, it is well known that post-processing the finished models can be tedious.

On the front of the Elegoo Mercury Plus, there is a TFT touch display for operating the device. The display shows the controls with which you can select the operating mode, set the time and start the process. Somewhat awkward are the two separate buttons for increasing and decreasing the operating time. The Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 solution with a rotary dial is easier to use. With the Elegoo Mercury Plus, the presettable operating time is limited to 30 minutes. However, this time is usually sufficient for washing and curing your models. If necessary, you can simply restart the respective process. Washing with and without printing plate The Anycubic Wash & Cure Machine can be hefty for some people. It weighs 8.2 pounds (3.7 kilograms). The Bottom Line After washing the model, you will need to take off all the supports before you cure it. The curing process will smoothen the surface further and harden the resin. Just take the wash container out of the Anycubic Wash & Cure Machine 2.0 and replace it with the cure platform. The curing platform rotates, so the 3D model hardens from all sides evenly. You no longer have to place your 3D models out in the sun, which may result in uneven curing and warping of some parts. There are several options that let you avoid that hassle, however. You can buy a curing station from the same manufacturer who made your printer. Or you can use a nail polish curing lamp, which is more affordable than 3D printer curing lampsA rotating platform ensures a 360 ° UV treatment so that your work of art is also cured from all angles. The Wash & Cure 2.0 container can be left closed during the entire washing process for greater safety. However, if your model has intricate details, you will need to use flush cutters to make sure that you get the cleanest break possible. Both are suitable for models with a maximum diameter of 140 mm and a height of 165 mm millimeters. The UV LEDs for curing are arranged vertically above each other in a stable column in both devices. However, this is where the similarities between Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 and Elegoo Mercury Plus end.

Better suited for those who are using FormLabs 3D printers, specifically the Form 3, 3L, 3B, 3BL, and Form 2 In fact, this machine will help you do all your post-processing work by pressing a few buttons. Everything runs automatically. Because you have two machines to work with, the Form Wash and Form Cure is ideal for those bigger jobs. You can cure a washed printed material and start a new batch on the Form Wash. This saves you the time you need to wait for the Anycubic or Creality two-in-one machines to finish both washing and curing your prints before you can start on another batch. Pros The washing containers of Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0 and Elegoo Mercury Plus have a volume of around 3.5 liters. The maximum size of the models that you can clean in these containers differs only marginally in both devices. With the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0, the models can have a maximum size of 120 x 74 x 165 mm (L x W x H). With the Elegoo Mercury Plus, the maximum size of the models is 125 x 85 x 160 mm (L x W x H). With both the Elegoo Mercury Plus and the Anycubic Wash & Cure 2.0, you can wash your printed models with or without a printing plate. For washing loose models, both Wash & Cure devices are equipped with a wire basket in which you place the parts and then hang the basket in the wash container.The container for the washing function offers space for larger models with dimensions of 256 x 209 x 355 mm and is compatible with all LCD resin printers on the market with a size of 8.9 inches and below. The enclosed washing can prevent splashing and evaporation of liquids. The machine has a turntable and an array of lights that can cure your model in no time. Just place the 3D object on the cure platform and select how long you’d like it to cure. The general rule is that if your model has a diameter of 1.2 inches (30 millimeters), you only need to cure it for two minutes. Compared to regular resin printers, Anycubic Photon M3 Max has advantages not just in size, but also in speed and efficiency. M3 Max supports printing complex architectural models, detailed miniatures, and even full-size prototypes. The advantages of large-scale printing are very obvious in the field of resin 3D printing. Large projects can be easily handled, and models can be printed in batches to improve efficiency. Anycubic Photon M3 Max can produce large-size models at a speed of 60mm/s, which meets the diverse needs of users and unleashes more creativity and possibilities. Below, we will use a video to demonstrate the real printing capabilities of Anycubic Photon M3 Max. In Conclusion: Large-Format Resin Printer Experience In curing mode, the device pauses automatically when the cover is removed. This protects the human body from damage caused by UV light. In both scenarios, you will need to make sure that the entire print is submerged before you start washing. Curing
