Diy rosin press

[Jjgrow420]

Just bought this beast at crappy t with my CT money! Lol. Just some pid and plates and I'm good to go.
Any suggestions on plates? I was looking at 4x7 dual rod plates 300w per rod.

I'll post pics of the build and whatnot so you can see how easy it is to build one yourself and save a couple hundred buck

Was looking at the 6ton bottle jack style from dab press.

I like the 10 idea, so I’m going to watch to see what you come up with here to squeeze with.

I bought the 4×6 plates. Drilled them out and tapped them. Wire up the inkbird and away u go. I have 2 heating elements per plate. Not sure what size elements but I will look in my notes.

If u have access to drill press and tap and die set it only costs around 150$

Lol it's not a 'rosin press' it's a 10t shop press retrofitted with heat plates and a pid to make a rosin press

Im well aware of what it is.. I was asking how much is this going to cost to construct.

 

[Playk328]

I fully understand I can not walk into Canadian Tire and buy a Rosin Press, I go to Canadian Tire all the time, but all together what is the final price looking like.. I have been curious to make my own as well, I want to convert my outdoor into rosin.

Better to make bubble first then press that. Flower rosin (especially outdoor) can have a bad taste.
Well the press is on sale for 299 I had 200 CT money and the plates are around 400 so it cost me just over 5hundred.

Thought we were headed to the machine shop. Darn

Ok , what plates have your ordered, as I best get this press before sale ends ?

Kind of like the idea @CochiseChronic had at 150. Aluminum is a bit expensive these days.

I'm still trying to decide on plates. I can order 600w plates and get them tmrw or I can order 1200w plates but wait for a month shipping. Also duno about returns with those ones. Trying to find out what the best wattage would be for 4x7 plates

 

[smokey0418]

Month for shipping, ouch.
Sounds like usps via canada post.
Thank goodness for shippsy.

Are you going to cage or not, to do bottle squishes?

Bought the plates and the jack......scrap metal I had laying around. It works great.

a 10t press will be a little under powered to take full advantage of a 4x7 plate. You would nearly double your maximum psi with a 3x5 plate. Also, keep in mind that it is not good to use your press at full capacity, so you will actually be using about 8tons max pressure.
