## Steps
|
|
### Step 1: Video tutorial
|
|
|
|
All steps are detailed in the video tutorial. Click the yellow download button above to access the blueprints and CAD files.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: What can you make with press?
|
|
|
|
This standard size frame can press sheets measuring 37x37 cm (14.6x14.6 in).
|
|
|
|
Maximum recommended mold height is 80 mm (3.15 in).
|
|
|
|
Products made include:
|
|
|
|
- Sheets: 37x37 cm (14.6x14.6 in), with thicknesses of 3, 5, 20 mm (0.12, 0.20, 0.79 in)
|
|
- Coasters
|
|
- Clocks
|
|
- Clipboards
|
|
- Sheets later used for CNC cutting: lamp designs, animal models.
