honestly guys I'm struggling a bit when
0:02
it comes to reviewing wash and cure
0:03
stations people have asked me to cover
0:05
these so I've got a load of them in so I
0:06
can tell you about them but most of what
0:08
I'm going to tell you is what you can
0:10
learn from the website so I suppose I'm
0:13
here to tell you does it do what it says
0:14
and what is it like me using it oh god
0:17
I've just defined what a review is
0:20
God I'm a terrible reviewer hi I'm Ross
0:22
this is farhama videos
0:24
seems to be fun lately to play the idiot
0:27
card so okay let's quickly talk about
0:29
what these are what the price is and
0:31
whether or not they work and how well
0:32
they work let's review them
0:34
so Frozen's bundle is not a two in one
0:37
it's it's two things in one box so
0:40
technically it's two things for one
0:42
purchase when I talk about a two in one
0:43
wash and cure I'm talking about a wash
0:45
and cure that is one station that can
0:48
wash and then you just change the
0:49
configuration of it and cure it this
0:51
isn't that it's two separate devices so
0:54
you can have a wash station and a cure
0:55
station on your bench with this one
0:57
product this one purchase
1:00
and the good thing is they're both quite
1:01
big the washing station itself is eight
1:04
liters which is bigger than say elegus
1:06
which is only seven liters I don't know
1:08
that you need that extra liter unless
1:10
you're doing absolutely huge Prints but
1:12
to be honest I only put three or four
1:14
liters of cleaning fluid in it at the
1:16
point anyway so yeah the options there
1:18
look it's better to have it and not need
1:20
it than need it and not have it and to
1:21
be honest this isn't that much more
1:23
expensive than the other option it's the
1:25
Cure station though that I'm most
1:27
impressed with because of the size of it
1:29
now with this it's 25 by 25 by 23.5
1:33
centimeters which is pretty darn large
1:35
it's one of the largest ones that I've
1:37
ever seen well it's the largest one I've
1:38
owned it's the turntable that's my
1:41
favorite bit now you just want to point
1:43
out that like some other brands this
1:44
will cure from multiple directions so
1:46
you've got the vertical curing in the
1:48
two light towers that go up the height
1:50
of the curing area but you've also got a
1:52
light bar beneath the clear turntable as
1:54
well so you can cure parts from
1:56
underneath and that turntable has a 19.6
1:59
centimeter diameter so okay maybe you're
2:02
not curing huge models but if you've got
2:04
a lot of little models being able to put
2:06
more of them on that surface at once is
2:08
a huge benefit now one thing that they
2:11
do have in this is a fan and this isn't
2:13
something that I've seen in any other
2:15
cure station it's not because it gets
2:17
hot or anything like that but basically
2:19
the fan blows up the components and
2:21
gives them the opportunity to air dry
2:23
now personally I just leave my things
2:24
out on the side to air dry and then cure
2:27
them a bit later but this just blows
2:29
around and starts to air dry the model
2:31
and you can actually choose between air
2:33
dry cure or a little bit of both and
2:36
just have it go and do it all in one
2:39
unfortunately with this though the UI is
2:41
a little bit cumbersome only a bit I
2:43
mean you'll figure it out but this
2:45
certainly isn't on par with the quality
2:47
we expect from the sort of uis we get
2:49
from Frozen when it comes to their
2:51
printers I just think a little bit more
2:53
care and attention could have been put
2:54
into this it's not bad I've seen worse
2:57
ones in fact most other washing cures
2:59
just have some sort of dial or Knob that
3:01
you twizzle for a time and press a
3:03
button this you can actually control
3:05
things but with those extra features
3:07
comes a little bit of extra complexity
3:09
that I think just could have been a
3:10
little bit integrated better
3:12
and this is certainly one of the better
3:14
locking units but it is in looks only as
3:17
you start to peel away the layers and
3:19
look at things like the actual
3:20
components what looks like a sturdy unit
3:23
actually looks quite cheap and plasticky
3:25
when you get down to the nitty-gritty
3:27
balls of it and yeah it's fine like I
3:30
say this is one of Frozen's cheaper
3:31
products they've had to cut costs
3:33
somewhere and it just has the looks of a
3:36
cheaper product but this is still an
3:38
inexpensive product that does more than
3:41
other products such as elegoo that have
3:44
a similar price wash and cure station
3:46
and yeah this looks better it does more
3:49
and it's not that much more expensive
3:51
you see what's holding this back is the
3:53
same thing that's holding back a lot of
3:55
Frozen's printers and the resin and
3:58
pretty much anything else they sell it's
4:00
global Shipping and yeah this is a
4:03
pretty inexpensive product if you're in
4:04
the US it's probably fine but over here
4:07
in the UK getting these things to us not
4:09
only do we have to pay insanely High
4:12
shipping costs on a lot of Frozen
4:13
products but then we also have to pay
4:15
the secret vat and whatever extra amount
4:18
that the Courier wants to tag on top
4:20
just to get it to our house now don't
4:22
get me wrong this isn't a bad thing in
4:24
fact this is a really really great
4:26
product and yeah for the price again
4:29
it's really good you've got a bigger
4:32
volume of cleaning fluid than again the
4:34
equivalent price products and the
4:37
powerful impeller in this is much more
4:40
powerful than all the others which means
4:42
it'll clean a lot better you've also got
4:44
features in the curing station and a
4:46
much larger turntable that others don't
4:49
it's much better than what most or
4:52
anybody else offers at a more than
4:55
reasonable price but again you've got to
4:57
add to that price with shipping so if
4:59
you're in some way you can get it cheap
5:00
yes definitely get this one over an
5:03
equivalent price product but if you're
5:05
somewhere that you've got to get it
5:06
shipped then I can completely understand
5:08
why you're opt for something else and
5:10
not pay that premium that you shouldn't
5:12
really need to and again it I get it
5:15
shipping fine import fees vat fine but
5:19
for whatever your country decides that
5:20
not us but nowadays couriers are
5:23
slapping crazy extortionate charges on
5:25
there for no explainable reason I got
5:28
something recently with government
5:30
charges but this was well over the 20
5:32
vat rate so that's pretty much it thank
5:35

5:37
