ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2.0 Wash and Cure Station, Upgraded 2 in 1 Design Washing UV Resin Curing Machine with Washing Container and Busket for LCD/DLP/SLA Mars Photon S Photon Mono 3D Printed Models

When they work, theyre great, maybe I just got bad units. The washing station has magnets in the base that rotate, but the connection to the motor came loose and the screw no longer can be tightened enough to stop the magnets from separating and grinding up against the plastic. Even with glue, Ive had to open the base multiple times to fix this problem and as far as I can see, its a flaw in the design. The curing station has a different problem, whatever sensor detects the cover being placed on the unit is faulty or just a bad design as well. Sometimes it works, other times I have to jam something between the cover and the wall to make the connection tighter to trigger the unit to work instead of beeping errors at me incessantly. Overall, these two machines have disappointed me quite a bit. Elegoo makes great printers, but these machines need to be designed better, especially for the price. My advice is to buy something else. I wish I could return mine.

Great invention washed by hand for quite a while. Big quality of life upgrade

Fast delivery, product was as expected. Seller made contact to make sure everything was received

Easy use

Baught this for final rinse.

This wash and cure station works exactly as it should. Particularly like how easy it is to switch between modes and set the timer. The only thing I dont like is it sometimes a bit of a chore to get the magnetically mounted turntable aligned with the notches on the unit.

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 its the weakest of the two pieces. Two issues I have with it. First is the light source. The light source doesnt 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 4min. Strong lights and fast turning. But on the Mercury X I have to run for 6-10m just to get a couple full rotations with how slow it is. Now the light placement is great! Two strips in the back and the one on the bottom (bottom could use a 2nd one too) I love the wash station, cure station can use some work. Overall its still a good product with room for improvements.

**ATTENTION** I have seen multiple reviews as well as Reddit posts saying the cure station doesn’t work when the lid is on. I found out that the reason why is that these clowns removed the sticker that literally says “Do not remove”. The sticker is required to tell the machine that the lid is on. If you remove it, your cure station will not work. Honestly I do wish they maybe would’ve just painted that square or something like that since the sticker looks a little clunky, but honestly it’s not too bad. This is exactly what I was looking for. I returned my Mercury Plus for the X, & I am VERY satisfied. I was having issues with anything large even from the Mars 2 pro not even fitting in the Mercury plus, but I do NOT see that issue arising with the Mercury X

It works as intended.

very easy to use and interface is intuitive. works very well and it does everything you need after your print is done.
