My tip is to give the build plate and prints a quick dunk in a prewash bucket before you do the polish wash in the wash and go. You get better results, less gunk up of the wash and go bucket and extended the wash liquor life in the W&G. You could buy a suitable DC extension cord to add length to one side of the splitter cable. I've been running my Mercury Plus for 2 years and a Mercury X for 1 year exclusively with water. There is Zero corrosion and I've just took both spinners (magnetic followers) out to check just now. It's a 30 second task with a 2mm Hex to check. The spinner body is PTFE with 4X completely encased magnets in the spinner (2X for the Plus). Design is the same and they mount to a PTFE carrier with a Stainless steel nut glued to the based of the tub. The spinner in held in place by a single Stainless Steel bolt and washer through to the nut in the PTFE carrier. The mating surface is PTFE to PTFE (no bearing), it's extremely simple and ultimately due to the materials used corrosion wont be and isn't an issue. Maybe people are confusing this with other wash stations with bearings and metal spinners.. Anycubic?

with the new station, it would be nice to see a workflow video, showing the process from print is finished to print is ready for paint

My set was likely the best accessory I've bought since going to the Saturn just over a year ago - print, drop build plate in, do the hot water support removal and then cure - so much cleaner!

Thanks for the video! I’m new to 3D printing and I wasn’t sure if I should buy this. The review really convinced me to get one. I can’t wait to get everything setup and start printing. Thanks again!

I was happy buying mine, it is very useful

Thanks for good review! Five

The UV wand is also very useful for cleaning up spills

Presumably you could get an extension for one of the split cables (im sure they do 12/24v extension cables)? They really need to start making the mesh finer on those baskets, small parts just fall through those holes.

Thanks for the review. While your video appears to show the build plate in the washer with the knob in it, Elegoo's website for the XS bundle says this... "Mercury XS Bundle is perfect match with Mars 3 Pro 3D Printer and Saturn 2 3D Printer, but it need to remove the build plate's handle before washing the Saturn 2's prints." So I'm confused as to how it fits. My goal would be to be able to put the whole Saturn 2 build plate assembly into the wash unit with he model still attached. I do that now with my current/smaller wash and cure for a smaller resin printer, and it's super convenient.

I have one of these and it's one of the best purchases I've made, the UV wand is super useful. It's worth noting however that if you use water washable resin DO NOT put water in the wash tank because unlike IPA it will corrode the bolts which hold the spinner mechanism together.

In terms of washing I can't live without the machine, I still favour natural curing. I leave my models on a shelf to cure in ambient light for a few days, keeps the resin from going brittle especially for Wargaming

I got the same set up at Christmas, but mine didn't come with the UV wand and glasses??

Their bundle

Watching your vids..You tend to repeat yourself..a LOT ..im not criticising you..im just saying..trying to help.. your a decent youtuber, not annoying,no silly music, you don't shout etc.. so IMHO worth commenting on, peace out 😑
