The ELEGOO Wash and Cure 2.
Bench unitThe ELEGOO Wash and Cure 2.0 remains a solid, budget-friendly all-in-one solution for resin 3D printing post-processing. It effectively handles both IPA washing and UV curing with reliable rotation and timer controls, making it a practical upgrade from manual cleaning methods. While the fixed UV intensity and occasional durability concerns keep it from being perfect, its value, compact footprint, and ease of use make it a favorite among hobbyists and small studios working with resin printers.

The ELEGOO Wash and Cure 2.0 is a dedicated post-processing station built specifically for resin 3D printing, designed to take the mess and guesswork out of finishing SLA, DLP, and LCD prints. It combines two essential stages, washing and UV curing, into a single compact unit that sits comfortably on a workbench without demanding much space. The washing basket is engineered to hold prints of varying sizes, allowing isopropyl alcohol or other approved cleaning solutions to circulate around the model and strip away uncured resin from every surface, including intricate recesses that are otherwise difficult to reach by hand. The rotating platform ensures even exposure during the wash cycle, so users no longer need to manually agitate containers or worry about missed spots on their models.
Once cleaning is complete, the same machine transitions into curing mode, using a ring of UV LEDs arranged around a turntable to harden the resin evenly from all angles. This 360-degree light exposure is particularly valuable for complex geometries, miniatures, and functional parts where uneven curing could compromise strength or accuracy. The turntable rotates at a steady pace while the LEDs emit consistent wavelengths suited to most standard and specialty resins, and the built-in timer lets users dial in exact durations depending on material thickness and desired hardness. A see-through cover allows visual monitoring of the curing process without letting stray UV light escape into the workspace, protecting both the user and surrounding materials from unwanted exposure.
Practical touches make the Wash and Cure 2.0 suited for everyday use in hobbyist and small studio environments. The control panel is straightforward, offering simple button-based operation for switching between washing and curing modes, adjusting timers, and starting or stopping cycles. Its housing is built to resist splashes and minor spills, an important consideration given the liquids involved in the washing stage, while the removable basket and cover make cleanup between sessions quick and manageable. For anyone running multiple resin prints in sequence, this dual-function station streamlines the post-processing workflow, reducing manual handling steps and helping ensure consistent, reliable results from print to print.
Switched from hand-washing my prints in mason jars to this and it's night and day. The rotating basket gets into all the nooks and crannies of my miniatures, and the curing station saves me from using a UV flashlight setup. Highly recommend for anyone serious about resin printing.
Does exactly what it says - washes and cures resin prints efficiently. My only complaint is the motor noise during washing cycles, especially at night. Still, the convenience outweighs the minor annoyance.
Compared to buying a separate wash and cure station, this combo unit saves space and money. The timer is handy and the UV curing is thorough. Wish the intensity was adjustable for different resin types but overall very satisfied.
Loved it initially but the plastic coupling connecting the motor to the basket started slipping after several months of regular use. Still works but I have to reposition the basket sometimes. Otherwise good performance.
As a tabletop gaming hobbyist, this has streamlined my entire resin printing workflow. Wash cycle removes tacky resin residue completely and the cure station hardens prints evenly. No more inconsistent curing under sunlight.
