All-in-one Convenience
This is a well featured piece of kit, pretty much in common with other makes. It has a large water tank for washing resin prints, fresh from the printer. The tank, even with its basket, is big enough to accept a 6" build plate, so you can give your plate a bit of a wash as well as the model.Take the tank off and add the turntable and you are ready for the UV curing. Most of the UV comes from a series of beads on a back panel. With the cover in place, set the time and the light comes on and the turntable gently turns. A safety interlink prevents the UV lights from working if the cover isn't in place. There is also a plug-in UV lamp on a gooseneck stem. You can precisely angle the light to ensure that parts of the model such as the top, get a proper and even curing. This runs in concert with the other lights, with the same safety feature. However, it can also be used independently for very precise focusing. This will work without the cover, so care is needed not to look at the UV.

Cleaning Up My 3D Printing Mess: The Wash and Cure Station I Didn’t Know I Needed
When I first got into resin 3D printing, I figured a couple of plastic tubs and some sunlight could be enough to handle the washing and curing process. Spoiler alert: i was deluded and it really was not! My workspace smelled like an industrial accident, my prints always had sticky residue, and curing under a lamp felt like a guessing game. I probably stank of chemicals too!Enter the ANYCUBIC Wash and Cure 3 Plus Station, the machine that single-handedly saved me from resin chaos at a surprisingly decent price.Right out of the box, this thing looked serious. Bigger than the older models, which meant I could finally clean and cure larger prints without awkwardly flipping them halfway through. The washing function is a game-changer. Just drop the print in, set the timer, and let the vortex of isopropyl alcohol do its thing. No more swirling prints around by hand like I am making a resin cocktail. Everything comes out way cleaner, and I do not have to dunk my hands into chemical soup anymore.The curing process is just as smooth. The upgraded size means I can cure bigger prints without weird shadows or missed spots. The UV lights are powerful and evenly distributed, so I no longer have to do the awkward spin-and-hope method under a desk lamp. Plus, the rotating platform makes sure every angle gets hit properly.If I had to nitpick, I would say the machine is not exactly whisper-quiet, but considering the alternative of manually scrubbing and curing prints like it is the Dark Ages, I will take a little background noise. Also, resin printing is already a messy hobby, so you still need to keep your workstation clean, but this definitely cuts down on the hassle.After using this, I cannot imagine going back to my old DIY wash-and-cure setup. It saves me time, keeps my prints looking flawless, and makes the whole post-processing step feel way less like a chore. If you are into resin 3D printing and want to upgrade your workflow, this is absolutely worth it.

Really good support from Anycubic
This is my first 3D printer and so I am still finding my feet with it.The printer arrived very well packaged and was easy to set up. The written instructions are clear and concise. All the parts went together well although setting up the WiFi was an absolute pain. So much so that after checking whether it was actually needed to run the printer and being informed it was not, I simply gave up.I may go back and try again if I ever want to find an alternative to sticking pins in my eyes.This takes me to the Anycubic support facility. It is easily found on their website and is really first class. I was able to ask a number of questions on the chat facility and received helpful and clear advice every time. I would urge anyone buying from Anycubic to use this facility as it really is an asset for the beginner.I managed to puncture the FEP film on my printer and so had to send off for a replacement and chose another type which is supposedly better, but we’ll see. I found fitting the new film a real pain with loads of little screws to remove and replace as well as trying to remember to face correct side of the film the right way up. Managed it in the end, but will certainly be more careful in future now I know how fragile it is.I can see I have a lot to learn about 3D printing, but as a beginner have no hesitation in recommending this printer as a way to start.

Considerably easier than the manual method!
This is a fantastic product - does everything you need it to and saves a lot of time and mess! My only complaint is that when curing, the plate sometimes jerks when starting meaning that small or poorly balanced parts can fall off the plate/move into each other/tip over.

Improves the finish of the models massively
I bought a resin printer and I found washing by hand was ok but didn't give the best finish to the print. So I bought this during the Black Fiday sales and I am impressed with the machine. You first put the freshly printed model into the wash container in the basket, set the time to what you want to wash and away it goes. Comes out nice, then put it on the rotating base and set a time to cure it with the UV light and the final finished model is much nicer than doing by hand or using a UV light without a turning base. Perfect addition to my printing workflow

Compact but Not Suitable for Larger Printers
I really wanted to love the Anycubic Wash and Cure Station, but unfortunately, I had to return it. While the concept is great and it seems like a solid product, it’s just too small to handle prints from my Anycubic Photon M5s Pro. The washing container and curing space couldn’t fit some of my larger models, which was disappointing since I wanted a streamlined post-processing setup.For smaller printers, this might be perfect, but if you’re using a larger resin printer like the Photon M5s Pro, I’d recommend looking for a bigger station to avoid the hassle. It’s a great idea, but just not the right fit for me.
