ELEGOO MERCURY 3.0 PLUS (01) PDF Document

Please adhere to the following guidelines when using your ELEGOO MERCURY 3.0 PLUS:

• Keep the Wash & Cure Machine and its accessories out of the reach of children.

• After prolonged use of the curing chamber, the surface temperature of the machine will increase, which is a normal phenomenon.

• Please keep the original packaging box for 30 days for return/exchange (only ELEGOO original packaging boxes are accepted).

• Excessive curing can cause the model to turn yellow. Please adjust the curing time appropriately to ensure optimal curing results.

• Please use 95% (or higher) ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol to wash your model unless you are using water washable resin.

• Do not directly place the model in the cleaning bucket for cleaning. Use a cleaning basket instead.

• Add an appropriate amount of cleaning solution to the cleaning bucket to avoid overflow. Always close the bucket lid after use.

• Please wash and dry the model before curing. Neglecting this step may lead to white residues on the model’s surface and potential issues such as stickiness or cracking.

• During the washing process, ensure that the cleaning bucket contains an adequate amount of cleaning solution. Regularly filter or replace the cleaning solution and clean the cleaning bucket to prevent the impeller from jamming or damaging the machine.

• Please do not disassemble or modify the ELEGOO MERCURY 3.0 PLUS Washing And Curing Machine by yourself, otherwise, the warranty will expire.

Washing and Curing Specifications

The control panel on the ELEGOO MERCURY 3.0 PLUS has the following functions:

• WASH Button (Water Drop Icon): Switches the machine to washing mode.

• CURE Button (Sun Icon): Switches the machine to curing mode.

• TIME+ Button (+ Icon): Each tap increases the time by 30 seconds. Long press the button to continuously increase the time. The maximum time is 30 minutes.

• TIME- Button (- Icon): Each tap decreases the time by 30 seconds. Long press the button to continuously decrease the time until it is 0 seconds.

• ON/OFF Button (Play/Pause Icon): Starts or pauses the current operation (washing or curing).

• Time Display: Displays the washing/curing time. The time setting range is 0-30 minutes.

Before use, connect the power and turn on the power switch.

1. Switch to Washing Mode:

1.1 Touch the “WASH” button (water drop icon) on the control panel.

1.2 Place the cleaning bucket in the positioning groove on the machine platform (remove the turntable in advance). Open the sealed lid of the cleaning bucket and add an appropriate amount of cleaning solution.

2. Placing Models:

2.1 Placing models with a build plate:

• Put the cleaning basket into the cleaning bucket (place the adjustable brackets in the corresponding protrusions on the side of the cleaning basket in advance).

• Place the model (size smaller than or equal to 214mm(L) * 135mm(W) * 180mm(H)) on the adjustable brackets together with the build plate.

• Adjust the positions of the brackets manually to fit different-sized build plates (10-inch or smaller, with a maximum model height of 180mm on the build plate).

• Cover the bucket lid.

2.2 Placing models without a build plate:

• Put the cleaning basket into the cleaning bucket (remove the adjustable brackets from the cleaning basket).

• Remove the model from the build plate (model size smaller than or equal to 230mm(L) * 135mm(W) * 260mm(H)) and place it in the cleaning basket.

• Cover the bucket lid.

3. Start Washing:

3.1 Use the “+” or “-” buttons to set the washing time and touch the “ON/OFF” (play/pause) button to start cleaning the model.

3.2 After cleaning is completed, the machine will emit a prompt sound. Take out the model for air drying, remove the cleaning bucket, and seal it with the lid (the cleaning solution can be used multiple times). If the cleaning solution splashes onto the machine surface, clean it promptly to avoid it flowing into the internal components and causing a short circuit.

1. Switch to Curing Mode:

1.1 Touch the “CURE” button (sun icon) on the panel.

1.2 Remove the protective film from the reflective mirrors on both sides of the platform. Place the turntable on the central positioning groove of the machine (remove the cleaning bucket in advance).

2. Start Curing:

2.1 Place the model in the center of the turntable.

2.2 Cover the anti-UV cover. Use the “+” or “-” buttons to set the curing time and touch the “ON/OFF” (play/pause) button to start curing the model. Slight shaking is normal during curing due to the slow rotation speed of the turntable.

2.3 After curing is completed, the machine will emit a prompt sound.

When the cleaning solution in the bucket becomes difficult to clean the models after multiple uses, you need to filter the cleaning solution and clean the cleaning bucket.

1. Let the cleaning solution settle for about 10 hours to allow the solid particles to sink to the bottom of the bucket.

2. Slowly pour the upper layer of clear cleaning solution into another storage container.

3. Clean the sediment left at the bottom of the bucket. The sediment will transform into ordinary solid waste when exposed to sunlight.

4. If necessary, remove the impeller from the bucket for cleaning.

After using the cleaning bucket for a period of time, the impeller at the bottom may experience abnormal rotation due to sediment buildup. In this case, the impeller needs to be removed for cleaning.

If the machine is not working in curing mode, check the following:

• The anti-UV cover is not properly closed. Please close the cover and try again.

• Poor power connection. Please unplug the power cord and plug it back in, then try again.

A model turning white after cleaning or curing can be caused by the following:

• The model was not air-dried before curing. Please wait for the model surface to dry before curing.

• The cleaning solution has been used too many times or the alcohol concentration is insufficient. For better cleaning results, please replace the cleaning solution or use 95% (or higher) isopropyl alcohol.

If the impeller is not rotating, try these solutions:

• The impeller may be obstructed by foreign objects. Please remove the impeller for cleaning and try again.

• There is too much sediment in the cleaning solution. Clean the sediment in the cleaning solution or replace the cleaning solution, then try again.

Unusual noises from the cleaning bucket may be due to the fixing screws of the impeller being loose. Please use a tool to tighten the screws.
