W230 Cleaner for Ultrasonic 3D Resin

Cleans like I expected it to. The drainage hose sold me.

After doing some research I opted to get this cleaning station due it's sonic cleaning capabilities. Previously I was pre washing prints in IPA and then performing the final cleaning in my old cleaning station. With this unit I popped the build plate with the model attached. When the cleaning cycle completed I was speechless I could see details on the model more sharply and overall the models looked 90% cleaner without pre washing. This unit is very easy to operate and there are consumable sponges that go into the bottom on the cleaning station vat which catch all the loose resin. It prevents you from washing your models in floating resin etc. There is a big difference vs the regular cleaning stations that just slosh IPA over your prints. This was a big game changer for me and speeded up my post model clean up process significantly. The unit feels like it's built like a tank and it's kind of hard to hear when its running during the wash cycle. Amazing job Uniformation.

My first 1 didn't include the foam filter in the bottom of the device so I got a replacement.The 2nd one has a slow leak and I don't know where from. Luckily I have a silcone mat underneath, but every day when I go down to my workshop there is a small pool of resin-y IPA under neath it, and I can see a small drip collecting on the lower left edge.It's definitely not overfilled.It also doesn't clean very well. No better than just dunking prints in IPA. Putting the print in a mason jar of IPA and gently swirling it around does a better job of cleaning in my opinion. Oh, and it's super loud.. a nails on chalk board, feel it in your bones kind of noise.With all this said, I'm returning it. The GKtwo is a great machine and easily earns 5 stars, but I would recommend looking elsewhere from your wash & cure needs.I hope uniformation takes the time in the future to come up with new wash & cure machines that match the quality, attention to detail, and thoughtful design of the GKtwo.

I updated this review. The replacement cleaner works perfectly. No leaks at all. Replacement unit does a great job at cleaning.I set the unit up, filled it with IPA and a couple of hours later I noticed that it had leaked all over my work bench. Returning to Amazon for a replacement. Hopefully the replacement works better.

So, I believe Uniformation intent was good with this cleaner but like their cure station, it is underwhelming. It has a nice slot for the build plate to sit in but that's about it as far as features go. It only has setting for time because as far as I can tell, it doesn't have a heater and if it does, it isn't controllable. If you were to print a piece that actually takes up the entire height of the build plate, it won't fit with or without the basket in. This is all besides the price point. This holds roughly 7 liters and ON SALE was $210 when I purchased it. There are 15 liter ultrasonic cleaners on Amazon for $135. Sure they aren't as aesthetically pleasing as Uniformation's cleaner but at the end of the day, they do the exact same thing and also have a 400watt heater to boot.PS: this review does not reflect any opinion on their printer. The Uniformation GK Two is excellent! I just wish the amount the of awesome features they put into the the printer were also put into their wash and cure stations. Once they do that, I will more than happily pay the 50% premium on price.
