Wash Station FAQs

The Wash Station is available in 2 sizes: standard & XL.

• The standard internal wash chamber is L320mm x W520mm x H530mm. The door opening is W170mm/270mm x H280mm
• The XL internal wash chamber is L670mm x W660mm x H510mm. The door opening is W540mm/630mm x H360mm

Please note some designers may print smaller prototypes that would fit in the standard sized Wash Station but prefer the XL size as they can put multiple parts into the chamber for washing all in one go thereby saving time.

The Wash Station Static is an “open” system that requires plumbing into mains water and mains drains and thereafter requires very little maintenance.

The Wash Station Mobile is a “closed” system that contains 2 x 25 litre water tanks that require emptying and refilling on a daily/weekly basis depending on usage..

We recommend customers choose the Wash Station Static where possible, as it is low maintenance, has better visibility during operation and is more cost effective.

None required, just a 13amp (15amp USA) RCD protected socket is required.

Use a washing machine U bend. Drainage must never go above the height of the cabinet. (Please see CAD diagram in operators manual)

The Quill Vogue Wash Station operates at pressures between 0 to 50 bar (0 to 725 psi) A blue pressure control valve situated within the internal wash chamber allows operatives to increase or decrease the pressure during the wash process.

The Quill Vogue Wash Station uses between 1 and 5 litres per minute.

A filter tray and weir system in the internal cabinet is all that is needed to trap the support material, preventing it from leaving the chamber. An extra basket filter is included with the mobile systems as the system re-circulates the water again and again, so the water needs to remain as clean and debris free as possible.

No, the Quill Vogue Wash Station is an extremely low maintenance system. Check the oil level weekly/monthly depending on usage and keep topped up.
