Sovol 3D SL2 Wash Machine, Cleaning Station with Protective Washing Basket, Smart Touchscreen Fits for Mars ANYCUBIC Photon LCD/DLP/SLA 3D Printed Models

I bought this to clean my SLA 3D prints and this does a fantastic job. Made from stainless steal and durable plastic. It is also at a good price. I highly recommend this product.

Yet another 1 star review for this product that doesn’t work at all. Let me save you the trouble of changing the bearing, trying different fluids and different levels of said fluids. It works great when empty but as soon as you add IPA or water then the fan either stops or barely spins. Tried using the replacement bearing that they include even though it spun less freely than the one that was installed. Tried loosening the screws, tightening to screws, nothing. It just doesn’t work. This company should be fined heavily for creating this much e-waste.

These things are great. Affordable and do their job well. I use 2 of the for a dual wash system. I believe these are larger tank was then alot of othe wash statuons as well. Hope they vome back in stock.

Overall, this is a pretty good washing station. It looks to be a commercial version of the diy magnetic fan wash stations. It will easily holdover 1.5 gallons of alcohol (depending on the size and volume of your models). It produces an enough turbulence to effectively clean. There are 3 "touch selectable" run times - 5, 10 and 15 minutes. The impeller changes rotational direction about once a minute. The process of stopping and restarting in the opposite direction is rather noisy (like an electromagnetic brake is engaged to quickly stop rotation?). I have only two complaints with the unit that I received:1. The impeller is not centered well and is somewhat off balance. It sounds like the magnets attached to the impeller are striking the frame. This may sound like nit picking and I am sure that I can fix it, but, a commercial product should not have that problem.2. It's advertised as having a 'smart touch screen'. To be fair, it is touch controlled, but it is nothing like the touch screen on your 3d printer, or tablet computer, or your smart phone. Picture instead, 3 touch switches and 5 LED's with a labelled overlay.Overall this station functions well and if I thought I could get one that didn't need "balanced and tuned" I would probably buy another when the need arises

This made a world of difference cleaning my prints. Just drop in, push the time button (if needed) and press start. My prints come out real clean. I have switched from only using water washable resin back to normal resin. Only 2 minor issues. I wish there was a countdown timer so you knew how much time was left, and I wish it could be used with water based cleaners, but because it has a bearing that can rust, it is not recommended. These are minor things that all wash stations have. I also like the fact that the curing is separate. That way I can wash and cure different prints at the same time.

This has been a nice addition to my resin printing production cycle. I use a smaller prerinse pickling jar for a quick first dunk before the Soval to prevent clouding the larger volume of alcohol too quickly. The Soval then does its thing before I toss the print into my ultrasonic bath. I can tell that the Soval has been doing a good job as the liquid in the ultrasonic is staying clean far longer than it used to.

This worked three times, after I filled it up to the top of the basket with alcohol the fan stopped spinning. It seems like the magnet in the base is spinning too fast for the fan to keep up so its just jittering in place and not making the liquid move. Some times when it changes directions it fixes itself, or if its working, it breaks itself again. Pretty disappointing. I guess dont fill this up like how they have in the pictures.

Seriously? First Sovol Washing Station arrive broken.. As many other reviews state "When I push the start button, the stepper motor inside of the base makes a CLUNK sound, then it does nothing". So, in the middle of trying to learn my new Resin printer, I had to repackage the first broken washing station to send it back. Amazon promptly ordered a new unit and had it shipped. 11 Days after ordering the first broken unit, the second broken unit arrived, also broken.. "Press the power button, the stepper motor makes a *Tink* sound, and then does nothing" ("Returning a broken unit, and then receiving a Second Broken unit as a replacement" is complained about in a LARGE number of reviews). .I messed up by looking at the BOGUS "Star ratings", instead of spending my limited time reading the WRITTEN REVIEWS, most of which seem to be scathing 1 or 2 Star Ratings (30%!!) complaining about multiple issues with these units. How does garbage like this get "4+ Overall Star Ratings", while 38% of the written reviews in 2021/2022 are 3 Stars OR BELOW (25% are ONE Star ratings) ??? The ONLY positive reviews are from Amazon's "Early Reviewer Rewards" recipients?? THAT program is obviously NOT working.I bought a separate Washing Station and Curing Station to save a little time in my overall work flow while printing (Buying separate Washing and Curing Stations is the same price as buying a nicer combination unit from another manufacturer)... Since I bought a separate curing station, I'm stuck trying to find a WORKING washing station in the same price range (Can't find one), OR wasting MORE time and money returning the Washing Station (AGAIN) *AND* Returning the Curing Station, so I can put the money toward buying a combination unit.This will unfairly punish the makers of the curing station (Which is a highly decent unit from another manufacturer) that I'll have to return, along with this junk washing station, to buy the Combination Washing/Curing Unit).What is *THAT* return request going to look like? "I need to return this perfectly working curing station that I'm happy with, because the makers of a washing station have been sending out units KNOWN to be broken for A YEAR now, and Amazon is allowing it to happen" (??)It's ALSO unfairly punishing Elegoo and AnyCubic, because I'm NOT buying Resin and other parts while being unable to wash 3D printed parts.Lastly, it's unfair to ME, because I'm not printing parts, and now I have to make ANOTHER special trip to the UPS store to return ANOTHER broken unit, that the manufacturer KNOWS has major issues!This is bad (and WRONG) from any viewing angle.Seriously, NOT Cool!
