ELEGOO Mercury Plus V2.0 2-in-1 3D Printer Wash and Cure Machine

You’ve just pulled a freshly printed miniature off your resin printer. It’s dripping with uncured resin, sticky, and a little toxic. Now what? You could dunk it in a jar of IPA and hope for the best, then leave it in sunlight for hours. Or you could use a dedicated 2-in-1 washing and curing station. The ELEGOO MERCURY PLUS V2.0 3D Printer Wash And Cure Machine is exactly that kind of tool — a single unit that handles both post-processing steps.

What This 2-in-1 Machine Actually Does for Your Resin Prints

Here’s the thing — washing and curing are two separate jobs, and most beginners cobble together DIY solutions. This machine combines them. It works with LCD, DLP, and SLA resin 3D printing, so it covers the common desktop resin printers. The washing container is included, and the curing side uses a 360-degree rotating turntable with a 405 nm UV LED light source. That means your models get even exposure from all angles, not just the side facing the light.

The Specs That Matter When You’re Post-Processing

That said, the maximum sizes are the real numbers to watch. If you print large tanks or big busts, measure before you commit.

A Couple of Realistic Hiccups to Keep in Mind

Fair warning: the washing and curing chambers are not huge. The max wash size is about 130 x 130 x 160 mm, and the max cure size is about 160 x 160 x 200 mm. That’s fine for miniatures, small props, and most tabletop models, but a large terrain piece might not fit. Also, the listing doesn’t spell out the exact plastic and metal mix in the housing, so if material feel matters to you, it might be worth checking with the seller. And while the 2–90 minute wash range and 2–30 minute cure range give you flexibility, you’ll still need to experiment with your own resin and IPA setup.

Where the Mercury Plus V2.0 Fits in a Small Print Farm

If you run a few resin printers and sell prints, a dedicated wash and cure machine saves counter space and mess. The included washing basket helps you move parts without touching uncured resin. The button/touch controls are simple enough for quick daily use. But is it overkill for someone who prints once a month? Maybe not — it depends on how much you hate the sticky phase. The 48 W power draw and 100–240 V input make it easy to plug into a standard outlet almost anywhere.

So if you’re tired of juggling jars and UV lamps, this 2-in-1 washing and curing unit is a sensible upgrade. Check your typical print sizes against those chamber dimensions, then decide if it earns a spot on your bench.
