NOTE - As far as I can tell this model has been basically wiped from history. It is no longer listed on ELEGOO’s site and I can no longer find any information about it. It has apparently been replaced by the following:
- ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2 In 1 Washing And Curing Station 1.0
- ELEGOO Mercury Plus 2 In 1 Washing And Curing Station 2.0
Successor to the ELEGOO Mercury Plus Washing & Curing Machine. The newer version has many similarities with its predecessor, but at the same time, many improvements. Introduced in the summer of 2021. The new model of the curing and washing machine. It intrigued many people with its improvements. In this article, you will see what exactly has improved. The technical specifications and a conclusion about this product are below.
Features
Starting with the features. We can say that in the 2.0 version of the curing and washing machine. You can see safety improvements. For example, the newer version has sealed washing. On top of that, the anti UV lid can protect almost 100% of the UV lights.
- Flexible washing mode is the second thing that Elegoo states as an improvement. Of course, they did great work in this aspect. That is because, with this improvement, The 3D models that you have printed can be cleaned separately. All you have to do is to put them in the cleaning basket.
- On the new version, you can see that the TFT display shows the setting and remaining time. That is quite convenient, plus operating with it is very easy.
- The major- difference is the lack of fans. In the previous machine, the fans were creating an annoying noise. Which I listed as a con in the previous article. In the ELEGOO Mercury Plus Washing & Curing Machine version 2, you can spot that such a noise is non-existent.
- Different from the first model, The ELEGOO Mercury Plus Washing & Curing Machine Version 2 has 16 UV light buds with a length of 405 mm. In the previous two, there were 2x8-405 and 385mm. While we are on this, we can note that there are no changes to the turntable.
- Like with the previous curing and washing machines, The compatibility is great. It can work with most of the LCD/DLP/SLA 3D printers. Be it on the Elegoo brand or anyone else,
- One of the biggest upgrades that the newer version has to offer is the two washing modes. That combined with the slight increase of the cleaning bucket makes it easier for you to deal with the 3D models you have printed.
