Mostly just commenting to get alerts again. Ive also been wanting to make a press soon. I think I am going to go the route of a harbor freight shop press and a heated plate kit.

If you do, seriously let me know how it comes out. I had thought of making my own press as well. If I can rebuild a Cat3520C engine, I should be able to figure out how to make a simple homemade rosin press

If I build one im going big and making a 20 ton with big plates. Can be much cheaper if you go smaller

I've built mine using HF and some easy to obtain electronic parts. Pressed dozens of #s of trim through it. Hundreds of filter bags used.
I'd be happy to help you both get it done. Its almost too easy.

HF luckily sells a 6ton that is decent on a desk. It's just awkwardly tall, but very compact.

Yeah, looked at that, but need something a little bigger. Making one sounds pretty appealing, but i'm not even done with my lights yetOhhh!

Looking like I am going to have to finish the lights while there are girls in the tent. I need my veg tent for my seedlings, the light is way too bright for them. So i'm moving the veg tent girls to the flower tent, but will only be using the spider farmers until the end of veg (the only thing I have in that tent with higher than 3000k). It is only 4 plants, and they aren't very old yet, so not too worried about it taking up too much space for me to work. Still waiting on these cutter uv strips

Gonna be a bit till I get the UVB/C strips. Guess they didn't have the chips in stock and the stupid corona virus crap has delayed them so they aren't being made yet. Good thing I don't need them yet or i'd be a little upset lol.
Stupid corona virus, more people die of the flu every year whats the big deal? AND kids aren't affected as badly either

One strip does a whole 4x4. These are SO SO SO MUCH MORE versatile to use and implement around in a tent compared to a clumsy t5 fixture that has no place in there amongst your main LED.

where you getting you need 4 to do a 4x4? I have 2 coming (whenever they get the chips and make them, i'll actually get them before they are sent because of the time change lol). Anyway, those 2 are way more than I need, so I have to reduce the exposure times. I guess maybe for coverage area, but thats why i am just going to have them at the ceiling with my other lights and keep them turned up
Wait i'm stoned, you mean you need 4 chips for a 4x4....gotcha

I'm still waiting for @welight to drop the knowledge and info bomb on these UV leds either here or in SupraSPLs new thread where I had originally asked him. I just want to hear everything Cutter knows about them really bad.
Like distance for effectiveness. Can you just hang at the center of the tent ceiling and it'll do the 4x4 perfectly? Or do they need to be within a certain distance? How would you cover a 4x4 if not?

you got links to those threads?
Yeah I have not asked him much other than when i'm going to get them, and the voltage and current draw lol (I have the driver, heat sinks, wire and connectors ready to go). I would love to get a starting point from them though, you know recommended exposure durations and frequency. If not i'm just gonna start way small and work my way up. I think it was @nachooo that gave me a good starting point. I'll go look for it when i come down a bit, this ice cream cake is amazing

Once I finish the flower tent, I am going to start on the veg tent. Was thinking about these strips, any thoughts?

Yes those are 24mm wide strips though and it's hard to find those cheaper Amazon extrusions wider than 18ish
