Wash & Cure 3 Gooseneck Light
Description
Wash & Cure 3 Gooseneck Light is a replacement flexible UV light for the Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 post-processing station. The light is used during the UV curing stage of resin model post-processing and helps cure hard-to-reach areas, corners, inner cavities, fine details and complex geometry.
After printing on a resin 3D printer, the model should be washed from uncured resin residue and then UV cured. The main UV system provides general curing, while the flexible Gooseneck Light allows targeted exposure for areas that may be difficult to cure evenly with standard lighting only.
This part is especially useful for post-processing miniatures, figures, engineering prototypes, models with deep grooves, holes, relief surfaces, thin elements and internal zones. The flexible design makes it possible to direct the UV light closer to the required area and improve final curing quality.
