Before receiving the product, I had seen some similar products with a 2-in-1 solution like the one from Anycubic. And so I thought I would receive a machine that does both. This is not the solution Elegoo has chosen. Even though the package is rather small, it’s still 2 separate machines. A big plus for us, especially if you use resin printing a lot.
As you can see, the reason the package is so small is that all the parts are neatly fitted together to take up as little space as possible. In terms of materials, there’s nothing transcendent: everything is plastic, and the quality is basic. The side-mounted UV lamps don’t inspire confidence. But having said that, everything fits together perfectly, nothing moves. Assembly is ultra-simple.
With the XS version, you get a UV pen that lets you reach more complicated areas, or harden the inside of a hollowed-out part. Or use a bit of resin to glue two parts together, or repair one… Elegoo also supplies goggles for protection.
If you don’t need the UV pen, get the Mercury X Bundle.
Finally, there’s just one adapter for both machines. Which means you’ll only need one plug for both machines. But it also means that both machines need to be in close proximity to each other.
