ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2.0 UV Wash and Cure Station for 3D Printed Parts

Joey Walsh: Purchased this for my Mars 3 as an upgrade from the old 2-in-1 curing and washing station as a way to future proof any potential new printers I purchase. Despite it taking it up literally twice the space, I don't know how I ever go back to a 2-in-1. The convenience of having separate stations for each aspect cannot be understated. If you have the space to support both as well as your printer, it shouldn't be a decision. Buy the bundle and be happy.

Aaron: It was perfect for me because I am low on space and it is a 2 in 1 machine. No complaints

brian: Been using the mercury X for a couple weeks now and love it.

The wash station is strong and holds really well. The magnets used to hold the bucket are really strong, and with the weight of your choice of cleaning solution it can be hard to get off sometimes. But good so no worries if anything going wrong or falling off in some way. Now because of those magnets and the buckets weight the mixer/stand it sits on is really light weight which is what makes it difficult to take off sometimes. I think adding some artificial weight would be nice to give the base some weight to counter balance it better.

The curing station is great and does the job, but it's the weakest of the two pieces. Two issues I have with it. First is the light source. The light source doesn't look that strong and feels to take longer to actually cure the resin properly. So it takes longer to cure. The 2nd issue is speed. The turn take is super slow. Almost painfully slow and takes way too long to make a full rotation. So you have to put it in longer to make sure it cuts correctly. I have a original anycubic wash/cure 1st gen. I could cure a piece in 2min depending on the size maybe...

Wolfgang Belmont: I bought this a while ago after I bought my printer. I tried a small ultra sonic cleaner for nail techs and cured my prints by setting them in the sun and both were just bad ideas so I went ahead a bought this wash and cure station and it made things so much easier! There's not much to say aside from it works! I was worried it wouldn't clean as well as an ultra sonic cleaner but I haven't had any problems with it washing my prints at all. They come out looking great then just swap the bucket for the plate and run it for a minute or two on both sides and it cures my prints very well. Ive also used it to wash and cure prints from small furniture for D&D to full 1 foot tall statue prints.

drcyclops: The item description says it's not for water washable resin, but it works fine for me. I assume they're 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 I'm just lazy. I'm fine with that.
