      "text": "Hi there,\n\nI'm really interested in the modifications you've made to your press. The fact that you're using a significantly thicker sheet for the hot press (and even carving it with a CNC for resistors) is super intriguing.\n\nI'm trying to understand if you're sticking with the same heating elements as those in the original design. Given the increased sheet thickness, I'm curious if these heating elements are still able to evenly warm up the sheet. Did you also need to enhance the number or power of heating elements to ensure effective heating? In addition,  what about the sensors; are you using the K-type sensor from the PP design?\n\nAny insights you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!",
