[@dannyboy2525]

I just got mine and ran the test print, my question is what software do you use? I’ve tried photon workshop but my printer is not acknowledging the file on the stick when I put it in

[@nicolasnorth591]

Hey which resin did you use to print batman? very cool blue / purple transparent color. thanks

[@DavidCook42]

It would be awesome if you did a video showing how you manage the cleaning liquids for washing. Like how do you service the tank, replace or strain the liquid etc.

[@ebpman]

Great review, I need to get my hands on one of these. Have you tested with the EPAX e10 4k. build plate?

[@tilaurin]

Thanks for the review! I'm just setting mine up this morning and their website is down, so your review was a perfect how to guide!

[@billcurran7210]

Can you do a video on how you clean/filter the alcohol once it starts to get too much resin in it? That's something that continually seems to plague me.

[@Mascutting]

I would pour the contents into a another tub, leave out in the sun and then you can just separate the cured resin afterwards through a filter most likely

[@mikecowan7866]

Hi Bill, your best bet is going to be to put the contents of the tub into another sealed, transparent container, put it in the sun, and then filter the residue using basically any filter. The tub needs to seal or you'll come back to a tub full of cured resin and no IPA, it evaporates fast. I recommend not using the actual wash tub as the vector for this, because (unfortunately from experience) the resin can cure around the blades which makes cleaning a real hassle and you can damage rubber feet.

[@DavidBajayo]

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

[@everydaygood1820]

Why not print handles for the wash bucket? Something that can slide on from the bottom

[@TMad_3D]

Just picked up the mono x and it came with the wash and cure plus for a hell of a deal. Attempting my first print...fingers crossed!

[@collinchapin805]

I knew that shiny sheet had a purpose!!! Im so glad I didn't throw it away 😅

[@collinchapin805]

What kind of washing and curing time durations do you recommend? Is there a too much of a good thing situation when it comes to washing and curing?

[@Rosin_3d]

Finally a decent washing/curing unit I can use for my epax and Saturn prints, great review as always

[@MartinezJayson]

Is it possible to buy an extra washing container?

[@SPProps]

My Mono X just showed up, so imma need this!

[@UncleJessy]

Yer gonna love it! Getting amazing prints off mine

[@SPProps]

@@UncleJessy it’s my first 3D printer, so I’m super excited to see what it can do! Your channel was a HUGE help in picking a printer, so thank you for all the great content! 🙏

[@hillfortherstudios2757]

If you are someone who just prints decorative models, it is way more cost-effective to just use water washable resin with these larger models. That's about $70 worth of ISA. PLus the added cost of the mechanical unit. I see this only as being worth it if you print engineering grade materials that you have to use ISA for. Thanks for the review!

[@monnubains6184]

Great video! Anycubic is sending one of these out to me and I’m super stoked to try it out!

[@mickeyflint6825]

i was not able to get on the site right at 7 am. 20 minutes late and they were all sold out. I would consider it worth wile for $169. Not so for $250. I will be sticking with my ultrasonic washer and cure station I think. Great review though Jessy. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@jannfreiwald]

Hey, great review! Can you maybe confirm if the washing rack will hold a wham bam plate for an Elegoo Saturn?

[@UncleJessy]

Will check shortly

[@antd6738]

Yes it will hold the elegoo saturn buildplate. I would think the wham bam would also fit as it's the same size.

[@jannfreiwald]

@@antd6738 That's great to hear, thanks!

[@douglasgrimm1106]

@@UncleJessy is the machines wash bucket magnets backwards compatible with the 2.0 bucket for smaller prints? I bought the Plus as my first station and think it would be great to grab a smaller wash bucket from the 2.0.

[@CDRaff]

@@douglasgrimm1106 I just checked, and no it doesn't. It seems like the magnets are in different orientations; the smaller bucket literally pushes away from the magnets in the Plus base.

[@christopherenoch4230]

Is there a problem using "Dentured", oh denatured alcohol? I started using it after your show a few months ago. I don't print with resin to much. My Mono X needs this cleaner. ;)

[@kinjinzero786]

Nice review- I bought the 2.0 in February, and it's a great unit. As much as I'd like this for washing/curing with my Saturn, I can't bring myself to spend $249 on it... if they'd kept the price point under $200, I likely would have already preordered...

[@marsgizmo]

this one is a monster, love it! 👌😎

[@DZeditor]

Nice review! Does this fit the build plate of the Mono X 6k?

[@doublebouncebeat3276]

Great video . but why dint you use mean green or mr clean instead , is there a reason ? I have ordered mine and will receive it this week.

[@jacobrichards8359]

Yessss! Great vid man! I love your channel!

[@UncleJessy]

Thanks! And appreciate you checking out the vidyas

[@gemmaralero1638]

I need to know how you do the cleaning process of the plastic container? How is the resin removed? For each print, do you clean the washing container or how do you do it? I mean when you no longer clean any part, so that everything is as new in the container, Thank you.

[@hdraagnaj4552]

Is this an effective option for water washable resins? Elegoo's Wash & Cure station states that it cannot be used for water washable resins - Anycubic's website does not mention those resins.

[@TerryChastain]

Got my Mono X about 3 weeks ago with the much smaller wash and cure station... It seems something better always comes out right when I am buy something...

[@Grithertime]

The Table wobble. You maybe need to print, wash and cure some table struts. I ran the math that bucket holds 2.2 gallons of Liquid, that is 16 plus pounds just for the liquid. Ensure you put that on a sturdy table or surface. Great Video!

[@doublebouncebeat3276]

im looking for a sturdy table for the photon x and the wash and cure plus and its giving me a headhache.

[@jlg23us]

Huh, got my pre-order this morning! Can't wait!

[@michaelinOZ]

Nice. Water washable Resin would be a must for me. I wouldn’t want this whole thing filled up with flammable stuff. Would be healthier and cheaper, too

[@ggdail]

My wife also sometimes says "increvals" (obviously a mash-up of increments & intervals). She also says "smeltering" - I'll let you figure that one out on your own. :)

[@CyberVic]

WOOOHOOO Scored mine! Thanks for the video. Excited to have the larger format wash and cure which works with my Mono X build plate! Uncle Jessy, have you tested using Mean Green or other alternative cleaners in Wash and Cures?

[@illidan2003]

I bought my Mono X on your recommendation and I absolutely love it. I will definitely try to shoot for one of these on the 15th.

[@BrickBazooka]

Why not a saturn?

[@illidan2003]

@@BrickBazooka There were none in stock anywhere at time of purchase and this one was easily comparable.

[@Antrim3d]

Great channel. Great content. Keep it up man. Great job! 👍

[@OZIL761]

Hi Uncle Jessy, may I ask for how many minutes it occurred for drying under the lights and also how many minutes earlier for washing? Just 2 mins for washing is enough? Thanks for any advice

[@Starganderfish]

Some great refinements on this compared to their previous units - the adjustable basket, the tilt on the LED array, even the reflective sheet to go under the turntable. Love how all these companies are continually tweaking and refining their products over time. In terms of similar units, the Creality UW-01 has been out for a while with a comparable volume in X and Y, though it tops out at 200mm for Z so may not work with the Anycubic machines. The one downside with these Wash units is the sheer volume of cleaning liquid they require. To fill the tub completely is something like 8 litres and even halfway for small prints, you're looking at 3 or 4 litres. That's a lot of IPA to buy, a lot of IPA to filter and dispose of safely. It's why I've moved to using Acetone and my Wash & Cure unit is now used solely as a Cure unit. A litre of Acetone is enough for a 30-second slosh around and it cleans even the largest of prints because Acetone doesn't require that scrubbing/stirring/ultrasonic action. It's the same process as IPA to decant/filter/evaporate it but you can get away with a lot less. The only downside is that it eats nitrile gloves, and I believe it can weaken certain resins, though none of the ones I've tried has been negatively affected.

[@3dtechnologies153]

Is this the biggest one available now? Do you like this solution better compared to the ultrasonic cleaner?

[@3dtechnologies153]

Do you like this over the ultrasonic cleaner?

[@diggyperfecto1667]

Which do you like more the anycubic wash or the elegoo mercury, and im about to purchase my first resin printer would you say elegoo saturn or anycubic mono x?

[@Submanca]

I have this and the Anycubic mono 6K and love them. The only problem I am fining is the resin cures on the top of the build plate. That isn't much of a problem since I can wash the plate with the print. When I take the build plate off and put the whole thing in the wash station. Just curious why would 30sec increments matter. So what if you wash the part for 1 or 2 mins vs 30secs?

[@raycemay2324]

Love the video dude. Keep up the great work. Stay awesome

[@UncleJessy]

🤘 much appreciated. More on the way this week 😬

[@danieljohnhousley]

just can't use it with smaller build plates or prints (smaller prints fall through the gaps in the cage) as smaller print beds do NOT sit in the cage or top brace

[@fredvermeer4787]

Great review, good call on the need to refine the timescale to allow for 30 second increments instead of jumping a whopping 2 minutes. I’m going to get one.

[@SamBalducci]

I don't want two of the Wash and Cure. Can I use the larger one for my smaller machine too?

[@obcesar]

Nice!!! I'll be getting this for sure. Thanks for the review.

[@reptilebeats936]

i heard that the early access may not be available to the UK, dont suppose you know?

[@VectorRoll]

I plan to try some larger prints with my Mono X and Saturn. Was debating on getting a larger ultrasonic cleaner or this larger wash and cure. Decided on this wash and cure because of it's features plus it currently has a $30 coupon on amazon right now and I also had about $30 of cash back amazon store card rewards as well. So I used your affiliate link and also saved about $60. I do wish they would have kept the final retail price under $200 though. Having it at $249 does seem a bit high for what it actually is and all that goes into making it. But I digress. On a side note: I do own the small Elegoo wash and cure. I have had bad luck with it like I have with the Mars and Saturn. Darn thing stops working out of the blue from time to time. I have had so much better luck with Anycubic products so I hope this one is no different. Cant wait to try it out and see.

[@ronk901]

IPA is still priced very high due to pandemic, so picked up three gallons of Mr. Clean for less than $20 at HD when it was on sale for $6. Meadows and Rain sure smells a lot better after a good clean in the Ultrasonic than IPA, which I still use but more sparingly. Have yet to test if I can filter the resin out with like a coffee filter, because it went from semi-transparent to murky after cleaning a few prints. Of course I enjoyed seeing that, because it meant that Mr. Clean was very effective in cleaning the prints.

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

Can we get a video on HOW TO REMOVE THE DAMN IMPELLER AND BALL BEARING? mine has rusted through and I need to replace, but they dont even have a user manual for the Plus variant... and I cant remove the damn impeller

[@mattedmunds6473]

Did you ever figure this out? dealing with the same issue.

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

@@mattedmunds6473 so, nope, I eventually just bashed the ball bearing out and got a ceramic/nylon ball bearing into the same spot. The magnets had already rusted though, so I had to 3d print in FDM a new impeller and glued the magnets in during printing and then let it resume, enclosing the magnets inside to isolate then.

[@mattedmunds6473]

@@JohnSmith-rt5yq thanks John. I bought some chromed magnets off Amazon to see if they last longer. My bearings seemed to be glued in there did you bash them out the top or the bottom? I’ve tried my damnest to even bash them out to no avail. I may print my own at this point as well.

I cannot agree more with this video. I just got a used one for my Saturn prints. That washer is so powerful compared to the Mercury Plus station I had. I also wish the timers had 30sec increments to more fine tune. I'd say the biggest downfall is the amount of IPA needed for cleaning but that comes with getting a larger washer

[@jebronekitty]

I just bought the 2.0 washing station. Maybe I should have got this instead. Either way, I wanted to ask, should I dilute my 99.9% alcohol I got off Amazon? It's what they suggested when I bought the wash and cure.

These look great and really useful. However, there are a lot of negative (1- or 2-star) comments on Amazon, as well as 5-star comments. I am confused and hesitating about buying one.

Does that rack support the saturn plate or just the mono X?

[@michaelbaykara2322]

[@funwithrpis3281]

Just bought this earlier today to wash and cure my prints. Don't do a lot of resin printing but will be nice. When I bought the resin printer I should of went with a LCD based one rather then the laser based one I ended up going with. Prints take for ever and support (3rd party that is) well lacks on the laser based printers. The only options I have for slicers is The companies own slicer and Formware. Live and learn.. Thought about AnyCubic 4k or 6k.

Would be wild if they did but would need barrels of IPA at that point 😂🤣

[@HighbridgeD]

@@UncleJessy To be fair though... if someone had a wash and cure of that size, they'd likely be doing costume pieces with it. Full scale helmets, boots, shoulders, etc. They'd have already stepped up their game at that point and gone semi-pro, a barrel of cleaning solution might just come with the territory 8)
