Anycubic Wash and Cure 3 review

A one-box wash and cure station with Flexicure gooseneck lights, a dual-layer basket that saves IPA, and one-click mode selection.

For most owners

If you run a 7-inch printer, this station covers it.

Gooseneck lights

The feature that sets Anycubic apart: curing inside hollows, where a ring light does not reach.

Handling

IPA is flammable, and resin waste needs proper disposal.

Questions makers ask before buying

What do gooseneck lights do?

They bend to reach hollow or shadowed areas.

Does it need IPA?

That depends on the resin. Follow the resin maker’s instructions.
