ANYCUBIC Wash and Cure Station 3.0

The flexible gooseneck light is designed to direct extra UV attention towards hard-to-reach details, such as a model’s top or garment hems. That could be useful when a print has areas that are less exposed during standard curing.

This is a combined washing and curing station for resin prints, with separate modes selected by button. The gooseneck curing light can also be switched on and off independently.

Its larger cleaning setup is intended for models from LCD, SLA and DLP 3D printers. The product description says it suits LCD printers measuring 7.3 inches or less, check your printer and platform dimensions before choosing.

What to know

The cleaning bucket has a stated 4 L capacity, and the double-layer PP basket has adjustable heights of 100 mm and 165 mm. The design allows a model and its platform to be cleaned at the same time, with the basket intended to use IPA efficiently. That may be handy after a print when you want to wash the part without removing it from the platform first.

For curing, the gooseneck light has a stated irradiation range of 1–3 cm and an energy value of 30,000 μW/cm². ANYCUBIC also describes a revised lamp-bead arrangement and lens light source, claiming 20% more uniform curing than the previous generation. Keep in mind that the product details do not give a measured curing time for a particular resin or model, so results will depend on your setup and the resin’s requirements.

The timer is adjustable from 1 to 30 minutes. The enclosed design and software optimisation are described as ways to reduce noise during washing and curing, but no noise level is provided.

Best use cases

This station is aimed at resin-print owners who want washing and curing together rather than buying or arranging separate equipment. The larger basket and bucket may be useful for handling bigger prints or several smaller models, while the adjustable basket heights are listed for platforms from 5.9 to 7.3 inches.

It suits you if you regularly print resin models and want a dedicated place to wash and cure them, including detail-focused pieces that could benefit from directing the flexible light. It may not be the best option if your printer platform is outside the stated size range or you need a curing setup with specifications for a particular resin, those details aren’t provided here.

Tips for day-to-day use

After printing, you could place a model and its platform in the basket together, select the washing mode, then switch to curing once the part is ready. For a figure with a recessed top or folds in its clothing, the gooseneck lamp gives you a way to aim light towards those areas rather than relying only on the main curing arrangement. The product description says the lamp is intended to help with fine areas, but it doesn’t specify how to position every model or resin.

Choose the basket height to suit the platform and model you plan to clean. Use the adjustable timer as a control rather than assuming one duration will suit every print, and follow the resin maker’s instructions for washing and curing. The listed 1–30 minute range gives you options, but the right setting isn’t established in the product details.

Dudas de compra

Can it wash a model while it is still on the platform? The double-layer basket is designed to support simultaneous cleaning with the platform, and the listed adjustable heights cover platforms from 5.9 to 7.3 inches.

Is the gooseneck light separate from the main curing mode? Yes. Its curing mode can be switched on or off with a button, independently of selecting the station’s cleaning and curing modes.

How long can the timer be set for? The stated adjustable range is 1 to 30 minutes. The product information doesn’t specify a recommended setting for individual resins.

Is it worth it?

If your resin-print workflow already involves washing and curing, combining both jobs in one station may be more convenient than keeping separate equipment, particularly when the larger basket and platform-cleaning option match your prints. The directed light is another useful detail for models with areas that are awkward to expose evenly.

Choose it if the stated platform range and basket capacity suit your setup. If your prints fall outside those dimensions, or you need resin-specific curing guidance before buying, this listing leaves those questions unanswered.
