A word of advice to my fellow Washingtonian. You can gi to your local ACE and pick up a gallon bottle of ISO (99% or 70%) For under $30 US.

[@antd6738]

The pre-order just started! I just placed my order and wanted to thank you so much for all your info and your efforts!

[@marsgizmo]

I like the size and the new bed holders 👌😎 now I have to prepare with some gallons of IPA 😁

[@MakersMuse]

LOL "that's the snow you shouldn't eat" is right that stuff STINKS x_x

[@3DPrintingNerd]

It's SO bad. SO SO SO BAD.

[@3DHP]

Excellent Video Joel. I need this for so many reasons. Thanks for all the great info.

[@AtomsLab]

My wash and cure station is a garbage bin from the dollar store with some LEDs glued inside of it :P Cost about $12 in total and it works great!

[@C-M-E]

And you can "upgrade" a $35 ultrasonic transducer kit into a bath station quite easily for the High Brow experience.

[@VincentGroenewold]

Yeah, I guess these ones are just for companies that don't bother with making stuff and/or hobbyists that have never learnt how to make anything. ;) But when you actually try to make stuff yourself (I was that person who never tried), it's awesome. Suddenly you realize you can do so much more than you thought and something like this is so easy, cheap and when done well, more effective (as you can tune it yourself). I think these days kids don't learn that enough.

[@makermonkey3d782]

i LOVE the little musical at the end!

[@techsavvyhero]

Great review! Looking fforward to ordering it on April 15.

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Awesome sculpting of Vision! Love the Thundercat's T-Shirt

[@That1Stormtrooper]

Love your videos my dude. Keep it up.

[@reprinted3D]

WOO-HOO!!! Just snagged one! Thanks, Joel!

[@rossljensen]

Found one of these at a thrift store for 70 bucks. I think the universe aligned for me.

[@BrinkHouse]

There's actually a lower position for the build plate inside the bucket, it's incorporated into the basket I believe.

[@tybarzak2272]

I watch every upload Joel. Love them! Would you consider doing the basics of Metal 3D Printing? DED, Select Laser Metal Sintering etc.

[@jonmedders3866]

Looks like a scaled up wash and cure 2.0. Exactly what I was wanting before I bought a Mono X.

[@dominicsworkshop]

Epic video Joel

[@seedmoreuser]

Joel.... I can't convince the wifey to add this to my collection. I'll just have to share your joy remotely.

[@parker1ray]

I am currently waiting on a Mono X Large printer and the Wash and Cure + and can not wait! I have been waiting for years for the resin printers to come down in price and get large enough to make them a viable option.

[@aditikhosla2367]

awesome review. How do you clean the bucket after the IPA gets muddy from many washes?

[@frediusmaximus1]

Great video as always. How are the IPA fumes when using this machine?

[@vedranvukovic529]

Thanks a lot was looking in to buy curing station anyway

[@thechaptermaster]

So, I am about to hop in to 3D printing and this combo seems to be what I'm going to start with. So many questions, though. This is a confusing hobby to get started in. For example, what percentage of Isopropyl Alcohol do you use? How do you know how many minutes you need to run the curing process?

[@DavidBajayo]

I was able to preorder it today for $169!!! Delivers 5/10. The new précis is $249 and delivers 5/20.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Joel, I'd be curious how the smells are from your resin printing and stirring all that IPA around. I plan to setup my resin printer in the garage...resin and curious feline pets seems like a recipe for sticky failure! For your indoor use, maybe that BOFA setup plus an enclosure might help the smells?

[@TaitGuy]

Regarding IPA volume or lack thereof, what if you put a plate with some density or something that would raise the existing alcohol volume level to help cover your print if you were in a pinch. Just a thought. Thanks for the info video, nice!

[@magicman9486]

bought the ANYCUBIC Photon M3, put the wash station in my basket. will let you know in a couple weeks how it all goes.

[@Gabosamu]

Hello Joel! Is it posible for you to test if Mr. Clean can be used to clean resin prints instead of isopropyl alcohol?

[@Brklynguy69]

Best How to video.

[@sjmaguirepdx]

Apparently the build plate will sit on the upper structure of the lower part of the basket so you don’t need to fill further that you did. BTW how does the Saturn build plate fit?

[@bloodzyAU]

Do you have any cleaning supply stores around to bulk buy your IPA? Down here in Australia I can get 5 and 15 litre containers of 99% IPA for AUD$50 and AUD$100 respectively, will need to Purchase this new one when available, Only recently brought the Mono X and Wash and cure 2.0 as a bundle 3 weeks ago and bit disappointed the plate didn't fit in the 2.0 but assumed they would be releasing one to suit at some point and they have! thanks for the review.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I would print some pulleys and a mounting for them, fix the mount to the inside of the cover or make a wooden frame for it which would enable me to raise or lower the build plate or basket into the alchohol

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Next time look for Amazon for an Industrial Amount of Alcohol or get some Camp Fuel/Denatured Alcohol. Save the ISO Alcohol for disinfections.

[@wibbsdibbs515]

Cool!

[@scalercer]

what are you mono x settings with the ST fast grey resin? looks smoother than mine come out. thanks!

[@aydenbushman79]

I have a quick question I am planing to get a resin printer go often do you change your isprofen achol?

[@sebastianseun757]

what printer did you print the iron man mask on. Was it the large anycubic or the 2000 ones

[@10p6]

Nice video. Would be nice for them to make a max cleaning machine for the max resin printer.

[@dankafun4854]

Joel... missed the pre-sale..😥😥..I hope you do a video if they do a larger one for the Transform or phenom size..👍👍..

[@otheblade]

Could you do a stress test on the anycubic? I am having where on the bigger prints its z axis goes off.

[@Justinsatiable]

Just got mine from microcenter on the black Friday special for 159!!

[@Tcstewie]

Somebody tell him that the build plate can rest on the top of that metal basket piece, allowing the bucket to only need to be filled half way with isopropyl.

[@icemanfred]

great review. one question: if the tub is plastic. can the solution be cured in the tub by only the led lights tilted downward? since uv won;t penetrate the plastic tub. thats alot of cleaning solution and needs to be reused. or would you have to resort to another UV source?

[@icemanfred]

after re watching the video. i see the uv lights cant access the alcohol. it's a shame they didn't consider this. since it is supposed to be an all in one solution.

[@3DJapan]

If you go to the hardware store you can get IPA in gallon size.

[@paulmilne3038]

Not interested in a resin printer at the moment anyway. It’s a very good review. Thanks. Oh the higher price in a bit much though.

[@tuck91]

I luckily scored one at the preorder price. 170 is a steal compared to the normal 250.

[@coreycarries6325]

Hey is there any chance you could help with the slicer settings for chitubox for the Saturn I would super appreciate it.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

You can buy isopropyl alcohol on Amazon by the gallon.....😉

[@Averwing]

Needs to be a video how to clean this as im having residue on the basket and container

[@marioperez2443]

Can you compare an ultrasonic machine vs the wash & cure.

[@Ray-mg6si]

Where does the liquid dripping out of the print go during the curing stage?

[@SimplyRamiro]

Would the Elegoo Saturn build plate fit / be compatible with the Anycubic Wash and Cure Plus?

[@CraigConnors]

I just saw that our local Walmart is now selling isopropyl alcohol 70%, in 1 gallon jugs.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Come for the 3D printing stuff, stay for the beatboxing at the end.

[@ComicsLegend]

Wow, I got to the point where you remove the supports on Vision. I'm too afraid to just pull them right out like that. I snip them off carefully.

[@hobbychanel5798]

good model anycubic wach cure

[@jaimeVYT]

Can you wash the resin vat in the machine as well? Thanks

[@TheIcemanModdeler]

I wonder if that bucket with the bottom propeller works on my magnetic stirrer.

[@BrickBazooka]

Does it beeps on every system event? Are the fans and the spinning motor loud?

[@ComicsLegend]

The only thing I don't like is that the new basket has bigger spacing. I wish the spacing was a bit closer so that smaller models could still be washed there without fear of them falling through the basket gaps.

[@RH3D]

Ive heard that its also a lot quieter than the previous versions - would you agree with this?? Thanks

[@phillipbyrd2227]

Dang it just bought the easter sale photon and washer combo.... for 30 more dollars coulda gotten the big boy washer!

[@EvilSpyBoy]

I have started buying my Isopro from a chemical supplier. 500ml from hardware store = $25 vs 4L from chemical supplier = $20

[@J.D.Vision]

Would this wash & cure station work well with the Anycubic M3 Max?.

[@loshines3725]

Set my alarm and staging my credit card info right now. I just got the mono x and small wash and cure 2 week. Oh well. I bet this puppy gonna sell out like a pair of air jordans from foot locker!

[@kafarske123]

Hi :) I realy want a resin printer :D hopefully i can aford one some day :) What printer did you print the iron man face plate on? I found some faceplates on thingiverse, but this one from nikko is awesome :) wil be printing that whenever i can make the time :) Thank you, and high five :)

[@EozTV]

any idea what the rotations per minute for the wash cycle are?

[@christianmalinay9050]

is the ANYCUBIC Wash&Cure Machine 2.0 Barrel is compatible to anycubic wash and cure plus?

[@rosebuddesign635]

This is a dream come true for my Saturn. But when considering the cost of IPA I'd rather use water washable resin with it! 😜

[@azraelgargoyle]

Question: Can you actually use the machine to clean printer parts themselves like the buildplate or the vat? Would save a lot of time especially when replacing the FEP sheet for example.

[@aaronreed8402]

Did you ever research this question further? I'm interested in the answer too.

[@azraelgargoyle]

@@aaronreed8402 well i found out washing the printplate is totally fine. i also tried the vat and it worked, but i am not really sure how it affects the screws on the underside in the long run so i try to only wash it in my machine when i change the fep-sheet

[@ErwinKamperdijk]

I see you have metal spinner inside the bucket. I have a plastic inside and when using the wash mode and it gets to top speed its starting to vibrate as crazy. You know what the problem could be. It does not vibrates when I leave the basket out and as soon as I put the basket in the whole machine starts to vibrate

[@unknotmiguel]

Think the manual says 2 minutes wash IPA, or 10 min if water (for water resin's)

[@Justlegos]

How do you remove the turntable? Mine is like crazy stuck.

[@TLNozzle]

Can you use Monocure Resinaway in this?

[@etherealhawk]

Dude left the supports on

[@VERY_MAD_ALIEN]

Water washable resin is the future

[@grottowski5856]

does 126x196 saturn plate fits?

[@BLBlackDragon]

Can you buy Isopropyl by the gallon?

[@stormalongdaz]

Mine just arrived, and the spinner on the inside is not machined metal so guess Anycubic must have changed that at some point recently.

[@BrinkHouse]

I wish you would've demonstrated washing and curing something larger, like that face plate at the end! Vision almost certainly could've fit in the standard sized W&C. :(

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I have the footage of that but it got cut for the sponsored spot time. I’ll try to get that uploaded!

[@sakurito55]

I can’t find it on their website yet

[@powcar91]

I have the original wash and cure station, the only thing I dont like. Is how the basket let's smaller prints fall through and the blades end up hitting the model.

[@stuff3862]

So what do you do with the left over alcohol

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Save it for the next print.

[@ksockhak]

can you cure the resin in the IPA so it hardens so you can re-use the IPA?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Yes you can! I've set my IPA container out in the sun for a day and all of the resin bits cure and fall to the bottom like a dust. Then, you filter it out and you're good to go.

[@zac2877]

do you leave the alcohol in the plastic bin for storage?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Yes. It has a gasket and can keep for a long time.

[@zac2877]

@@3DPrintingNerd thank you for replying. I really enjoy your channel, reviews, and instruction. Im just a 39y/o dude from Texas who has taken up the recent 3d pritning fascination / fever. Thanks for giving of your time, self, and sharing from your knowledge and experience to pump goodness into the community. Hope you are doing what you love and enjoy. My kid likes watching your videos with me and dreaming of printers as well ;D, so thank you for the effort to craft good vids 👍 (subscribed)

[@nick066hu]

Anybody tried this device as a filament print smoother? I imagine it to be used with a small amount of IPA so only the vapors reaching the PLA prints with the liquid whirling off.

[@nitishchowdary6021]

Yessss finally iron man helmet

[@neileddy6159]

Would like to see how this compares to the wash and cure 2 for features and size. Also for that scale denatured alcohol is a great alternative that more easily available, less expensive, and cleans really well. You should be able to put your build plate on the basket as well if you print isn't too tall.

[@agasini-euborja]

print new tub with different level of bed holder so you can use it even you print small.. you can use less alchohol

[@Frostfly]

best thing I ever did was return my Mono X. Anycubic has some of the worst customer service i've ever dealt with and i had to contest the transaction on Paypal to get them to talk to me on a level past "we send you parts, you fix" Wash and cure stations are 1 tool to do 2 nearly unrelated jobs. I'll stick to an ultrasonic and a box with LEDs in it.

[@vhoward1122]

I go to the paint store and buy denatured alcohol for use in my wash and cure.

[@DesignIncase]

Honestly getting a gallon/3785 ml or denatured alcohol was cheaper/more convenient then trying to buy the 8 equivalent bottles. The price on which may vary depending on where you live. Hardware has plenty of it. You don't have to worry about getting the right percentage either.

[@AlyssaNguyen]

There! Are! Four! Lights!

[@3rdpig]

Waiting for the walk in model so I can just dress in my freshly printed armor and walk in and get me and my new armor washed and cured in one go.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Hahaha GREAT idea :)

[@Mupshot]

I havent really been tempted to get into SLA for exactly the same reasons you mention. my work space is messy enough, I couldnt imaging it messy and covered in a layer of uncured resin also. However, if someone were to award me one, I might consider changing my position. give me a reason to clean up my basement. The iron man mask looked awesome.

[@crussty3d]

Pacific Savings Daylight Time? Are you still going thro DST PTSD?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

YES.

[@ThatDamnPandaKai]

Mean Green works much better than IPA and is like $5 a gallon. or.. just use water-washable resin with a little soap.

[@willierants5880]

Living hinges. Why?

[@deanyau6211]

It will be great if they sell a spare bucket

[@Djtinus99NL]

Make The Full Helmet Please haha and Paint it.. show how its done

[@TheSonofruss]

not fair I just bought the Creality uw-o1

[@Azzysdesignworks]

Not going to evaporate, or absorb H20 as easily ;) It still will through most plastic, but not as fast.
