Review on πŸ–¨οΈ ELEGOO Mercury 3D Printer Machine Turntable by Luca Washington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too small for full size parts. The power adapter didn't work.

I got this unit a few months ago but I didn't try it until recently. When I tried to use it, I found that the power supply didn't work at all. I replaced the PSU with one I had on hand (I'm into electronics so I have many types of PSUs available) and after that it worked fine. But that's not the case. I have a Mars resin printer so the printable area isn't as large as the Saturn model, but this curing station is still too small for full size prints. UV light only comes from the side. I expected it to come from below and from above. There are some reflections from the clear platform, but I had to flip the pieces to get full coverage. Also, the platform doesn't stay clean for very long due to the liquid resin clinging to it, and I struggled to clean it of resin residue. one or two at a time, turning so all sides harden evenly. I also recommend testing the entire unit as soon as you receive it so you don't find it broken after the return period, like I did. If I had to do it all over again I would build my own pickle station and probably do it anyway.

Pros
  • Clear window
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
