Review on πŸ–¨οΈ ELEGOO Mercury Separate: The Ultimate Printer Compatibility Solution by Loren Schmidt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Big size, quality control more or less questionable DOA

The fit and finish looks great and it has enough volume to handle prints from my Elegoo Saturn. However, it doesn't turn on and that should help. After playing around with it further at home, I was able to turn on the devices to wash and heal a print before it would no longer turn on. I plugged it into a separate outlet/switch in the garage and it doesn't turn on reliably. I suspect there's a problem with the included power supply, but I don't want to buy a new power supply to test something that should work out of the box. I've contacted support and we'll see where that goes, but this has pretty much stalled my pressure while I sort this out. Update: I wish Elegoo had US support so I didn't have to wait for emails. at 9pm and am hoping to get an answer before I go to bed so there is a 24 hour delay between the first few replies I get from them. After overcoming that hurdle, I was able to narrow it down to a power supply with multimeter testing. After explaining this to the agent, they agreed to send me a new power supply and ship it immediately this week. Upgraded to four stars* due to the time it took to resolve the issue, but the machine was great when it worked to power 1 time. decided not to work. So I would recommend this based on the size of the wash and the range of the curing station. Added another star as I've had time to use the device more than once and it works great with the new power adapter.

Pros
  • 3D printer
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
