Wash and Cure Plus

The media could not be loaded. ***Please watch the video for the full review of the Anycubic Wash and Cure Machine***I live in the Netherlands so my accent is quite raw.... Sorry for that people :P.Short Review:Pros:+ It's a great machine of a very well known brand.+ It combines Washing and Curing in 1 beautiful machine.+ It is great value for money as it saves allot of time.... and time is: £ / € / $+ Comes with all the needed items and a container with a lid on it which is awesome!+ Machine lid safety feature. Lid off > Machine pause = great!+ There are allot of great printables appearing on Thingiverse that makes it possible to use it with other Brand build plates or make use of space / holders on the machine for other purposes!Cons:- Personal: There is Chinese writing next to the English (yes yes, I know.... dear diary....)- LED Array is a little to high so prints might no cure well at the bottom and a run on the side might be needed. This can be fixed with an adapter that is on Thingiverse.Full review on paper:The machine arrived very well packed with a box in a box (gotta love them boxes) and also the machine was coated in foam and the machine, it is.... Breathtaking!Great color scheme as always with Anycubic.Having set up the machine it comes with every accessory you need.No extras that are unneeded, just the basics which is great.In the Video I already printed 2 parts that were ready to be cleaned and cured.I popped them of the build plate and into the basket.I have an Elegoo Mars Printer and the build plate adapter does not fit.Thus 1 of these 2 prints is actually the Elegoo Mars to Anycubic Wash & Cure build plate adapter.You can find link to it and the Turntable riser at the bottom of this review.I put the container for the cleaning fluid on the machine and filled it up with 3.5L of IPA (Damn that allot).Having put the prints in the basket I lowered the basket in the container with IPA.Put the lid on and set the option to Wash and the timer to 4 minutes. START!After 2 minutes the blade stops and starts to turn the other way.Great feature to get rid of all the resin in those nooks and crannies.When the wash cycle was done I dried the prints that were now ready to be cured.They were nice and clean!Of goes the container, on goes the turntable!The mechanism is quite ingenious :D.After putting the prints on I put on the lid, set the program to cure and the timer to 6 minutes. START!After 6 minutes my prints were done.Taking them of the plate I noticed the bottom was still a little tacky.This might be because the LED array does not reach to the bottom of the turntable.Not an issue, just put it back on, on the side, and run a 2 minute cycle :).Now fully cured I took the supports of and everything is spotless, dry and no tacky feeling.This machine is amazing!It does not matter what brand of Resin printer you have.... You need this machine in your life!It is so convenient that managed to down my clean and curing time by 50% and I wasn't even trying...It is the perfect addition for every resin printer enthusiast!My verdict is that in reality there are no cons to this machine.It great value for money as it saves you allot of time and the cleanup afterwards.Buy it and you will love it! :D

The Wash and Cure 3 Plus is a total game-changer for resin printing. It’s spacious enough to handle prints from my Anycubic Photon M5s Pro with no problem at all. The washing process is thorough, leaving no residue behind, and the curing is evenly distributed for perfect results every time.The build quality is excellent, and the controls are straightforward, making the whole post-processing routine so much easier and faster. It’s a huge upgrade from smaller stations and worth every penny for anyone working with larger resin printers. Highly recommend it!

Even though this piece of kit is expensive (when compared to, say, an actual resin printer), it does a lot to "lift" the printing experience. Cleaning and curing resin prints can easily seem like a chore and for me it probably stopped me from using my resin printer as much as I would have liked.DIY solutions are absolutely functional, but you do end up with a desk full of small jars, cables, curing apparatus etc. This unit combines almost everything into one, so you can keep your printing station nice and tidy.On top of the QoL improvements, the unit does a better job of cleaning and curing than my previous DIY setup (ultrasonic bath and a UV-Led chamber) and it does it _a lot_ faster. At first I was sceptical, but the 2-4-6 minute wash and cure times are more than enough.I would highly recommend this unit to either serious resin printers or just people who might not be getting as much out of their resin printer, because of all the fuzz surrounding the cleaning and post-processing stage.5 stars would come with just a slight decrease in price and maybe some small improvements like the ability to turn off the beeps and a cleaning basket with a finer mesh.

We've been really happy with the wash and cure station, it's made the post-processing of our models much quicker and easier. The build quality of the product is very good and it's significantly reduced the time to finish models. The sealable solvent container reduces the risk of spilling, reduces evaporation and smell created when washing. The container has a magnetic propeller to move the solvent around the model and you also store the solvent in the same container when not in use. The models never get damaged as they sometime do if you use a paintbrush to clean them. The curing process is very straightforward as all that is required is to swap the solvent container for the turntable, pop the models on it and select the curing time. The unit is very compact and doesn't take up much space. We have been really happy with it and would definitely recommend!
