Diy rosin press

[MICHI-CAN]

Rosin bags.
Is there a personal preference on micron size , for flower and then for bubble say?
Thank you

2x4 plates in 7 ton I used "Arizona Press Co." 25 micron for 7 grams of bubble hash. And 90 micron for 14 grams flower @ 50-60% RH.

Trichome size varies with strains. So just an as done here. Enjoy.

A cleaning tip. Wipe your plates hot with a dab of acetone, "finger nail polish remover", if you get a leak. Easy and no scratches in plates. Aluminum is really soft.

How to Find the Optimal Pressure for Your Rosin Press

Choosing the best pressure for a rosin press can be a bit tricky. The key thing to remember? It's all about Platen PSI (pounds per square inch). We'll explain what that means and help you figure out the right amount. How Much Pressure Do I Need? The optimal pressure depends on what you're...

Iso works as well and cleans all your tools.


Anodized aluminum is not as soft.

More questions?
Do you use a round preforming tool to make say 1-2 round pucks to put into a 2x4 bag .

Or the rectangle one, more than likely this will need more material to start.

Thank you again for all this info.

You don't even need to fill it "full"

I cut down my bags as needed.

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.

I know a 20 ton works like a boss with 4X7 plates. But my question is a 20 ton strong enough to work optimal with larger plates?

Looking to make it splash?

Grabbed the 10t @Jjgrow420. I think I will op for the caged unit to minimize any deflecting.

Drip a lot! A lil splash too.

How large are you looking to go? Its hard to find plates over 5x7.

Like I said up there I'm just finding it difficult to source plates other than amazon and I see on the dabpress website they have the 3x5 plates on sale for 199.99 usd. So I know Amazon's hosing me @430$

You might wanna check out Low Temp Plates. They seem very reasonable. They got 4X7s, I just wish they did bigger.

I checked them. They are like 600bucks. Got mine for 220

Ok so use code dp15 and now plates are 169usd. Now the problem is they only take PayPal? Wtf?

Is that a coupon code for DP?

 

[bez420]

Are those plates without the cage? Are the cages only needed with a bottle jack? Or beneficial with all the different kinds of presses?

Any suggestions on where to find a good set of 5X7s?
