ANYCUBIC Wash & Cure 3 Plus Station, Washing Size 8.97" x 5.04" x 10.24"

***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

Having been an Anycubic Photon owner for 2 years, I have always loved the ease and quality of the printing, but not always loved the post-print processing that is required for all resin prints. Being both messy and time consuming, this has definitely limited the number of prints I have done as well as how complicated the prints have been. The beauty of the Wash & Cure station from Anycubic is it's ease of use and simplicity. Getting the prints off the printer and into the plastic wash tub is quick and easy, taking a matter of seconds. I, personally, prefer to remove the prints from the print plate and wash them in the wire container, but that is personal preference and probably down to most of my prints being smaller, complex miniatures. I also tend to use a third-party resin that requires washing in both a chemical cleaner and water. Using the wire container makes swapping between the two quick and easy, even though I currently only have a single wash tub. However, most pleasing of all is the quality of the clean. Since purchasing the Wash & Cure last month, I have printed c. 30 individual models, some with very complex support structures. Where previously I would have had to remove these to clean properly, I can now fully clean the model without removing the supports and be confident that all the excess resin will be flushed out, even in the most complex of tiny nooks and crannies. Similarly, switching from washing to curing takes seconds and I have found that the combination of the UV LED strip array and turntable produces a nice even post-cure. In fact, it is so efficient, that I've been able to reduce the cure times by c. 75% relative to my old, home-made UV light box. In summary, I would recommend it as being a must buy for all Photon owners. The post-print process is undoubtedly the most painful part of resin printing and this makes it several orders of magnitude easier.

A decade ago I had a ropey FDM printer that I spent more time trying to bed level than printing, and when it did print it was mostly a spaghetti mess! I've been tracking 3D print keenly since then and finally pulled the trigger on both a Photon S and this wash & cure station. I tell you that story so you understand I'm a resin printing novice. I've had no experience of not using this for printing, so the printing workflow is based on what I have. I've managed a few prints with various degrees of success but the thing holding me back the most is a national UK shortage of IPA. For the few models I have printed and washed, however, having an all in one system to handle some washing and curing has been really neat. I can't speak to the longevity of robustness of the station, but my first experiences have been really positive, and damn, it looks super pro! Like others have said the two things that would probably convert this to a 5 star review are a lower price tag (not having any other experiences I don't have a good handle on its relative value compared to not having this - £200 at time of purchase) and an option to disable the repeated beeping if I lift the lid off to adjust something. Overall, no regrets and I'm looking forward to getting some water washable resin so I can actually do some printing!

So I had an Anycubic I3 Mega FDM printer and for some time and I'd been wanting to get into resin printing for some higher resolution miniatures. I was somewhat put off by the whole resin needing cleaning and curing thing, people kit bashing UV curing stations and throwing models into jars filled with IPA. Then I saw this, and watched a few reviews and took the plunge. So I've used this to clean 10 or so models so far (including the one pictured) and I would definitely recommend it if the only thing stopping you enjoying resin printing is the clean up. Its really simple to use, throw your models in the basket (or hang the build plate in the machine) set it to wash and let it go to work. Then you just remove the models from the cleaning solution, put them on the UV stand and set the machine to cure them, easy. No problems so far and minimum (still some!) mess. That said, you still need to make sure you've worked out the order you're doing stuff in and build this machine into your process, having a good prepared workspace is essential. If you're sceptical about resin printing / concerned about the aftercare this machine was worth the money to me to get rid of those worries, I'm not sure I would have ever got to enjoying resin printing without it. The only thing I didn't appreciate when I picked it up, and something I'd recommend to any buyers, is to get a plenty of IPA (or whatever cleaning solution you use). The cleaning container for washing prints is larger and unusable without plenty of IPA, my 500ml bottle I got wasn't enough to make the machine usable, I'd guess you at least need 1 litre, but I recommend getting a couple. Gave its "print quality" 5 stars, this isn't a printer, its cleaner and curer and gets 5 stars for its cleaning and curing quality even on fragile minis. Would recommend.

What a great addition to my much loved Photon. I had always looked at the other wash and cure stations offered by other companies and wondered why they cost so much. And I think that at £209 this represents a lot of value for money for getting the best from my prints. As ultimately this is the next two stages you must perform after the print itself. So it's part of the natural ecosystem. It all arrived perfectly packaged. A strong sturdy box, and thick closed cell foam, all perfectly cut to cradle every single part of the machine. Both inside and outside. As with all anycubic products I have bought in the past, they seem to invest in it arriving rather than cutting costs. Getting it all setup was super simple and you barely need the instructions as everything is easy to understand and well thought out. I found that a few cycles of the 6 min run time were all that were needed to scrub most of the resin from a detailed print. And it seemed to have less shiney spots from unwashed resin than when I would normally do my manual cleans. I'm sure over time my technique will get better but I'm super happy. And it all looks so much better than my random pots and home made curing oven (led strip in a box) It also has the added benifit of cleaning the platform at the same time. I am also hoping that as this one is less intense on the uv side and more even in its coverage than my home made box, it will maybe allow for a bit less over cooking. And being on a timer I won't forget to take the parts out 😂 which causes warping and yellowing of some Clear resins.

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!

I bought an elegoo mars printer last summer and up until two weeks ago I had been cleaning prints in a food container half filled with IPA and rinsing in a second container. Curing was always a bit hit and miss as I used a USB powered nail polish uv station, this was never very satisfactory as the time limit on the cure station is 90 seconds. When I saw reviews for the Anycubic wash and cure dryer it looked to be something which would simplify things, and compared to similar solutions available online it was a complete bargain at £209, it is slightly cheaper buying direct from Anycubic but was going to be quicker to get from Amazon. There are two separate operations, washing with a bath of IPA and curing on a turntable under UV light. The wash container holds about 4 liters of solution, although I've only put 2 liters of IPA in as it is hard to obtain at the moment. At the bottom of the container there is a little impeller with two magnets on it, during the wash cycle this gets turned at high speed for 2, 4, or 6 minutes depending on the cycle selected. Half way through the cycle the direction of the motion is swapped to ensure the shape of the print doesn't limit where the cleaning concnetrated. The vortex produced seems to do a very good job of washing away uncured resin, much better than I could do by hand even with the use of an old tooth brush. Once the wash is complete I let the excess IPA drip off into the container and and then air dry the print and build plate if I washed on it. The unit comes with adapters for Anycubic printers, but these do not fit on the mars build plate as it uses a thicker locking screw. There is an adaptor for the Mars build plate on thingiverse which seems to work well enough after tweaking it, but I may end up widening the original adaptors to fit the Mars screw. There is also a basket that drops down into the wash solution of you want to remove your parts from the built plate first, but I'd recommend keeping on the build platform as it may be possible to damage more delicate parts given the force of the vortex. Once the parts are completely dry the wash container lifts out and a turntable drops in to replace it, my only complaint is that the turntable top is slightly below the level of the lowest cure LED, I've started to use a little solar powered turntable in addition to the official one to raise the prints up. There is a strip of two different wavelength LEDs running the height of the unit which output 405nm and 356nm, most of my resins use 405nm to print but I've got some that recommend multiple wavelengths for curing to acheive the best results. There is also a safety feature built into the wash and cure, it won't operate at all unless the lid is in place, this is done by a photo diode at the back of the unit that shines against a label on the lid, so don't remove all the labels from the top cover. Be careful not to cover the photo diode with anything when the cover is off as the wash cycle or cure cycle could be started accidentally and give you an eye full of IPA or strong UVA, neither of which are very good for you. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

Very disappointing. Any model heavier than 200g and the basket doesn't rotate inside the machine, meaning it doesn't wash or cure correctly. The automatic cure after washing is a design flaw as the model is not dry and unless your alchol is perfectly clean the model will be ruined with white spots. You can not override the curing light on the wash setting. Huge miss from Anycubic, would have been better to just size up their previous wash and cure stations.

Construction feels nice and sturdy, the build plate rack is large enough to accomodate my Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4k build plate which is great and the bucket is deep enough to take a full z height print for cleaning.

El compañero perfecto de mi impresora. Funciona perfecto.

The product is not the same as in the pictures, the UV lights are extremely small and not really powerful. I do like that it’s really big so it still fits my big prints so I don’t have a need to return it but the pictures must be changed on the listing, it’s not the same machine!
