Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 Plus

Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 Plus: The Post-Processing Station Your Resin Prints Need The Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 Plus is a 2-in-1 post-processing machine that washes and cures resin prints in a single compact desktop unit. This isn't a printer — it's the essential companion that takes a freshly printed model straight off the build plate — still tacky and uncured — and turns it into a clean, hardened piece ready to paint or use. When you finish a print on one of your resin 3D printers, the model comes out coated in liquid uncured resin. That excess has to be removed (washing), and then the part needs UV light exposure to reach its final hardness and stability (curing). The Wash & Cure 3 Plus automates both steps, saving you time, improving surface quality, and keeping you away from direct contact with resin and solvents. How It Works: Washing and Curing in One Machine The unit operates in two separate modes: Wash mode: Fill the tank with isopropyl alcohol (or your preferred solvent) and the machine generates an agitation flow that strips uncured resin from every detail and crevice of your model. You can wash parts directly on the build plate or inside the cleaning basket. The double-layer PP basket offers two working heights (150 mm and 250 mm) to handle both large and small prints. Cure mode: After washing and drying, place your part on the rotating turntable and the 405 nm UV LEDs fully harden it. The light rotates around the model for even, all-around curing — eliminating soft spots or under-cured areas. Both wash and cure times are adjustable from 1 to 30 minutes via a touchscreen panel and rotary dial, giving you precise control for every resin type and part size. Capacity and Compatibility The "Plus" version stands out for its large working volume — ideal for printing large figures or multiple parts at once: Wash volume: 7.6 L basket and 12 L total tank capacity; usable area of 228 × 128 × 260 mm (250 mm with build plate). Expanded cure area: 220 × 260 mm curing platform — 42% larger than the previous model — with a dual-level turntable for curing multiple parts simultaneously. Compatibility: Designed for LCD/MSLA resin printers up to 10.6 inches and their build plates, including Anycubic Photon models and similarly sized printers from other brands. This capacity makes it one of the most versatile options in our collection of wash and cure machines.Key Features Flexicure Gooseneck Light: a flexible arm with a positionable spotlight delivering up to 30,000 µW/cm² at 1–3 cm, perfect for curing fine details and hard-to-reach areas. Improved LED Array with Enhanced Lens: redesigned bead layout increases curing uniformity by approximately 20%. Dual-Layer PP Wash Basket with adjustable heights (150/250 mm). Easy Operation: touch button controls and rotary knob with a 1–30 minute timer. Compact Desktop Design: 312 × 267 × 434 mm and just 5.7 kg. What's in the Box? The unit ships with the main machine, wash bucket, dual-layer wash basket, curing platform/base, UV-blocking protective cover, and user manual. To complete your post-processing workflow you'll need a cleaning solvent — find it in our alcohol & post-processing section. Who Is It For? The Wash & Cure 3 Plus is ideal for makers, modelers, wargaming hobbyists, and workshops printing medium to large parts who want a professional finish without the mess. If you regularly work with standard, ABS-like, or high-detail resins, this station standardizes your post-processing and noticeably improves final print quality. If you prefer even easier cleanup, consider our water-washable resins.

After printing, the model is coated in uncured liquid resin. Washing removes that sticky residue, and UV curing completes the polymerization process — giving the part its hardness, strength, and dimensional stability. Skipping these steps leaves prints soft, brittle, and tacky to the touch. What liquid should I use to wash resin prints? High-purity isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is the most common choice. Some specialty resins can be cleaned with water. Browse our cleaning options in the alcohol & post-processing section, or for maximum convenience, switch to water-washable resins.How long should you cure a resin print? It depends on the size, resin color, and UV power, but curing times typically range from 2 to 10 minutes. Avoid over-curing, as too much UV exposure can make prints brittle or cause yellowing. Start with shorter times and adjust based on the results. Can I wash and cure directly on the build plate? Yes. The Wash & Cure 3 Plus lets you hang the build plate directly for washing, or use the basket for already-removed prints. For curing, simply place your print on the rotating platform so every side gets even UV exposure. Does this machine work with any resin printer brand? Yes, it's compatible with most LCD/DLP/SLA printers up to 10.6 inches — not just Anycubic. The key is making sure your build plate and prints fit within the specified washing and curing area. How do I extend the life of my printer during post-processing? Great post-processing starts with keeping your printer in top condition: check your FEP/nFEP film in our FEP, nFEP & ACF section and protect your LCD screen with our screen protectors. This helps prevent resin leaks and keeps your machine running longer.
