ELEGOO Mercury X Bundle, Wash and Cure Machine

Cleans and UV cures models well. I don't know how the UV Unit works compared to other UV curing stations but it seems like it is a little slow and requires more time, maybe that's due to the resin we are using. But also it does make sure you don't over cure the prints and cause them to be too brittle, which is good.

I've got the Mercury X bundled with the Mars 3, and it's been a great setup. Curing Station: 5 stars. I would recommend this to anyone, it's perfect! Absolutely no complaints or recommendations for improvement. Wash Station: UPDATE - 5 Stars. After emailing Elegoo's customer service, they rush shipped a replacement part in cast aluminum. This part is perfect, and has none of the flaws found in the plastic version. Although unexpected, they included a bottle of resin too. Fantastic service. Original review: Wash station 2 stars. At first I was very impressed, I loved the idea of how it uses magnets to spin the agitator around inside the container. However after a few uses over 4-5 months, I noticed the wash station was much louder and no longer agitating the IPA. After looking online, I see it's a common problem with the tiny set screw coming loose, and the magnets rubbing. I tightened the set screw as gently as possible but nothing changed. Looking closely at the disc inside, I noticed 3 cracks all around where it mounts to the motor. No amount of tightening will fix that kind of issue. I'm still under the one year warranty period, waiting to hear back from Elegoo.

UPDATE: Manufacturer sent a replacement product and was very fast, polite and efficient. Dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction Product stopped working after only a few months. Tried numerous attempts to rectify issue and even contact elegoo with no response.

Hey all!!! So I've been fully invested in 3d printing now for a little over a year. I went the "cheap" way and build my own wash and cure stations but really found them lacking... I've been following Uncle Jesse on YouTube now for months and consistently saw him using the "Branded" Wash and Cures so took the dive into this bundle... Needless to say "WOW!!!"... this is a great deal and holy crap do they get the job done and an added bonus they look sexy on the shelf... AMAZING price for what you get and what they do... Easy of use out the box, had them unpacked and ready to go in ten (10) minutes. Use is super easy and convenient!!! Recommend 100% for the average and high end 3d modeler... Happy Printing!!!

So I recently purchased this to use with my Elegoo Saturn 2. As someone who owns a 2-1 from another manufacturer I was hesitant. I had read that the curing machine and the wash was big enough for the build plate and prints from the Saturn 2. Honestly, it really isn't but it is close. I printed out a very large dwarf and maximized the print size and because of the battle axe it would not fit. I had to improvise to cure it using a different setup. What it does well. First off, the looks, it is elegant looking. Ok enough with that. Starting with the washing unit. The impeller is strong enough to move the IPA around well. However it could be stronger with either a stronger motor or better impeller blades. For delicate prints I can see why it is set this way and that is is why I wish these stations would have a high, medium, and low setting. You can mitigate this by setting it to run for an extended period of time. You can run it for up to 30 minutes which is longer than you will ever need, but the simple fact you can is awesome. I like running a 6-10 minute cycle before the supports are removed, and another 6-10 minutes after. The curing station is very deep, and holds a lot of IPA which is also a plus. It comes with a sealable top to avoid evaporation. I give the washing station 4 out of 5 stars. Curing. Here is where I lowered the score. Not because the two bars of lights don't generate enough light and I truly love the bottom light. The unit needs to be just a bit bigger. Maybe another inch in all directions. Why? Because the large prints that are available to be made on the Saturn 2 won't fit in there. I printed out a very large dwarf with a battle axe. The model printed fine, but wouldn't fit in the machine without hitting the wall and flopping over. For smaller than oversize models this unit will be fine. But I wanted to be able to print big, wash big and cure big. So I give the curing station 2.5 stars. Some might complain that it turns too slowly, but I think it is perfect. You can also run this for up to 30 min. I like a good 10 min cure. Overall this is the best I have used. A bit bigger would be great. Another 2 bars of lights....would be awesome. I am loving it. Hope this helps. I just bumped it up a star because it really is a great combo.

This thing, or these things, are great. Yes you can wash your prints in a bucket with a toothbrush. Yes you can use the sun or a UV light to cure your prints as well. Neither are as easy as these two make it. Downside is it takes a bit of space. I'm willing to give that up to simply drop in my print and set the dial. I've used other 2 in 1 devices but having one for each just seems better. You can set the time in 30 second incriments and adjust as needed while it's running. Same for the curing satation. Another small drawback is small parts need to be washed on their supports or in some kind of holder. Not ideal but it is what it is. Over all I'm happy with this setup. Pairs well with any 3D printer.

I'm new to 3d printing and I'm so glad that I spend the little extra money on theses. They work great. The cleaning vat takes a TON of cleaning alcohol to fill. In the future, I might switch to a water resin, so I don't waste as much money on isopropyl. I really like the UV station. It just works freaking fast and great. I don't regret getting either of these. The price was appropriate, if they had charged more then I probably would have taken a pass and just cleaned and UV'd my models the old fashion way.

I’m so glad I bought this set. I like that they are separate stations instead of the usual 2-in-1 design. They were easy to assemble. Ensure that you connect both cables on the left LED tower (the right has only one). Also, don’t run the wash station dry or you’ll burn it out as it was clearly engineered to run with fluid resistance. The button/knob design is nice and intuitive. Recommended product.

Excelente producto, como dato extra se debe usar algo para poner la plataforma de impresión de una mars 5 ultra

i got it it 2 days earlier, and now it not spinninf

Me gusta mucho como trabajan, la limpieza lo hace muy bien y el que sea removible el tanque ayuda muchísimo, también la máquina para curar es buena, los materiales son 80/100 podrían mejorar y solo falta que les pongan una luz UV extra pero en general me han servido de maravilla, el empaque llegó bien aunque de cabeza pero no se maltrató nada de su interior, cumple con lo que dice

Excelente ayuda mucho

Funciona muy bien
