Washing Process
Place your freshly printed piece in the Anycubic Wash and Cure 3 Plus basket. Select the appropriate washing mode and adjust the time according to the size and type of resin. The transparent lid lets you watch the piece being cleaned in real time.
For miniatures or delicate pieces, use short cycles and low speed. This prevents damage or loss of detail. Remember to gently rotate the basket if you notice areas that are difficult to clean. A proper washing makes all the difference in the final result.
Curing Process
Once the piece is clean, move it to the rotating plate of the Anycubic Wash and Cure 3 Plus. Set the curing time and power according to the resin manufacturer's recommendations. Uniform curing is key to achieving strength and professional finishes.
Remember to wear gloves and avoid looking directly at the UV light while the unit is running. If you want even more detailed and durable pieces, adjust the curing time based on the thickness and opacity of the model. That way you'll achieve expert-level results!

Unit Maintenance and Cleaning
Keeping your Anycubic Wash and Cure 3 Plus in perfect condition is key to ensuring quality results and extending the unit's lifespan. 🧼 Ideally, clean the tank and rotating plate after each intensive session or at least once a week with moderate use. Use isopropyl alcohol to remove residue and avoid abrasive products that could damage the surfaces.
For a deep clean, carefully remove the basket and rotating plate. This allows you to reach corners where dried resin tends to accumulate. Remember to check real images of the disassembled unit at mrresin.es for visual guidance. Also, inspect the seals and gaskets to make sure there are no leaks or residue that could affect performance.
Store washing liquids in sealed, labeled containers, away from sunlight and out of reach of children or pets. Dispose of waste following local regulations to avoid contamination. If you notice strange noises, poor curing, or persistent residue, check the internal components and perform a thorough cleaning.
