I’ve seen a few different versions of these! And yes! They are outrageously priced! I’m thinking one could achieve similar results with a vise or even a press like what I just got! Or just drive the truck over the mold!Your thread title said it. So I am posting.
Need a puck pressed?
My fucking god! This is worse than oilfield prices! (my previous life I was an oil and gas well Drilling Fluids Engineer 20 yrs, prior to that a Drilling Rig hand for 12 yrs).

Thanks man! Can’t wait to put it to work! : )That’s is cool as fu$& bro
Yes without some sort of guage it will be hard to know the pressure.Ok got the press assembled and pressed a couple of nugs “pre smashed” of some stuff that had been hanging for a few days. Not awesome but not a complete fail. It is goofy dont get me wrong, just wanted to play around with it. I couldn’t even feel pressure built up in the handle during the press in the picture, and the straightener was about maxed out on psi! Hahahah! Now I just need to get something to smoke this stuff with. I’ve got my eye some cool pieces for the future, but for now im probably just going to get a 45* angle banger for the bong. I am getting really, really excited for the real heat plates! Pretty sure im going to be getting enough oil to smoke on for days! (Major win!)

I may just use the straightener as my “gauge” hahahah! dude so excited for the plates!Yes without some sort of guage it will be hard to know the pressure.
Well other than the obvious hair straightener not being so straight.
Bring on the plates.
Thanks for sharing man! I have some questions for you if you’re cool with that? (I’ve been looking into this shit a ton and have mush brain)I have a little 4 ton dab press. It seems to lack on the pressure it can put out. I like to press at 185 degrees with 37 micron bags.
I press both hash and flower. Seems like the flower does best when pressing when freshly dried. Buy a variety pack of bags and play around. The 37 seems to work best for me. I wish I had a gauge so I could tell how much pressure I was putting on it. Also try pressing your bags vertical instead of horizontal.Thanks for sharing man! I have some questions for you if you’re cool with that? (I’ve been looking into this shit a ton and have mush brain)
Thanks again for chiming in! Im hoping that this thread can be a catch all for how tos and dont dos and all the variables in between!
- 37 micron bag? Are you pressing hash? (Have seen a lot of people using 120’s and even 160’s for flower and the lower microns for hash) are you just trying to get the cleanest product? : )
- Are you pre pressing pucks or pre molded bud for the filter bags?
- Are you creeping the heat up to 185 as you apply pressure?
Not following what you mean.Also try pressing your bags vertical instead of horizontal.
Bottle tech method, I’ll demo one for you tomorrow. Low volume presses it’s worth looking intoNot following what you mean.
AWESOME INPUT MAN!Like the concept of on topic posts like this @BearWater, great job
After a good bit a research, mine and others, here’s my process for pressing wax. I focus on quantity because pressing is probably the least efficient method of extraction.
Ain’t nothing clean about wax so I’ll tend to do a couple ounces at a time
1) get a weight first, not that important but I like info
2) break it down to get out any stems
3) place overnight in a water bath to get that flower good and wet.

Like most anything cannabis, everyone has their own unique wayAWESOME INPUT MAN!
Appreciate you checking it out! I’ve been reading and watching videos a ton! It seems there are so many variables to any one style of pressing! It’s crazy!
flower is good and moist here’s a mold for 2x4.5 pucks, not used currently but I remember how.Like the concept of on topic posts like this @BearWater, great job

Awesome! Thanks for the step by step! How crucial are the sides being fully packed in the filter bag? I watched a video on YouTube and they were talking about getting rid of as much dead space as possible within the filter bag. Maybe it’s not even worth the efforts to worry about it? : )flower is good and moist here’s a mold for 2x4.5 pucks, not used currently but I remember how. View attachment 2352992

The flower goes between the plates of lexan. Slid the entire thing into a bag after it’s loaded. Pull out the lexan sheets and your ready to pressView attachment 2352995View attachment 2352996

Ok yeah that puts into perspective lol! Thanks man! And thank you for sharing all the pics!As you can see from my current method I’m not really concerned with voids. 2000 psi makes everything flat
I prepped 4 in the time it took to do 1 in the moldView attachment 2353015

Stand the bags up. So it is only about a 2” circle.Not following what you mean.
