I made a video of a DIY rosin press setup I built. The video is not perfect, but is pretty good on the basic needs and general concept of heated plates controlled via PID. I linked basically everything I used, in the videos description, as well as will ink them here. Links may go out of stock or no longer be active as time goes on, who knows, so you may need to do some basic thinking and search for similar items. This is a DIY(DO-it-yourself) build, not an AIY(Assemble-it-yourself), so be ready to drill and tap.
The first 10 mins are the parts...the second 10-15mins are building and setting up...the last 5 mins are of actually squishing some rosin with it.
DIY PID and Plate Stuff...~$100 for everything
3x5 plates: http://amzn.to/2mXnQjl
PID w/ relay and sink: http://amzn.to/2nj7zTi
100w AC Heating Elements: http://amzn.to/2mg3gax
Project Box: http://amzn.to/2mAFBUR
PG11 Cable glands: http://amzn.to/2mg3de9
2 pack of power cables: http://amzn.to/2mPMD8J
Wago221 variety pack: http://amzn.to/2mg7nDs
Floor Flange(mounting to ram): http://amzn.to/2nkvWA9
1/4” Tap and #7 bit (thermocouple and other stuff): http://amzn.to/2mhIbfN
Presses...$130-$175 on average
Cheap 12 ton Press(what I use): http://amzn.to/2mg3Wf0
Best press: http://amzn.to/2mgcljJ
Grand total of ~$275 for Plates, Controller, and Press
...could easily be done cheaper
