@Myfriendis410 the first set of plates dont have heaters they are just plates i saw
If you have all the tools i dont think id be to hard to make one at all
A bearing presss is great you’ll definitely have enough pressure thats for sure
I was just thinking along the lines of what i have available to me when i posted
I actually love my press and dont need to replace it
I just get the bug to build lol
200 degrees is a little hot fir pressing also Myfriendis410

That pid controller @dbrn32 linked for $37 along with 4 100 watt heaters. Amazon has 6" square plates 6061 3/4" thick. $16 each.

Apparently the right person is on the job!
Did you happen to verify that the controller and relay will handle all of the heating elements?

Nah, because I will use a variac and do it manually.

Sounds good! I just wanted to make sure because I didn’t put a whole lot of thought into sizing of heaters or controller.

@Countryboyjvd1971 says 160° F is perfect for flower so I think 4 of those heaters will do it.
I like those because they’re easy to install. Drill the right sized hole and shove it in with thermal grease.

I was lolking around saw this and thought of this thread
Bot sure how well it would work but this one comes with different plates
Tenp control may be a issue

Ill share Another little tip for all of you new to rosin pressing
Prepressing your product helps with yield
I use a 1 inch die and my body wieght to prepress my starting product then put into rosin press
And all bud does press a bit differently so a initial test run is need to dial it in when trying a new strain
Woohoo i dont wieght it before but if i had to guess its 2-3 grams of bud there and about a gram of rosin on parchment
@bob31 @AnneBonny @M4ur @dbrn32 @Myfriendis410
I also do fresh pressing i let plants hang and air dry for about 4-5 days then press heres the color of that end product
It super tasty too

Thanks @Countryboyjvd1971. I haven’t gotten anything yet. I looked briefly before the holidays and then it got pushed to the back burner. So based on your next post you press right from buds? For some reason I had it in my head that I had to shake it out into kief first. But that’s sweet info right there. I’ve been curing my harvest for a bout a week but I might need to test this out. Thx.

It’s the only one I could find with flat plates that wasn’t too expensive. I was hoping they would have it at my local Walmart so I could actually see it but they didn’t have it. I’m not willing to sacrifice my hair flat iron and this was actually less expensive than a cheap flat iron anyway, so we’ll see. Obviously I won’t get the press like you do. It won’t get here until Wednesday so I’ll keep you posted on how it works.

Would using a rosin press be something I would want to do with bubble hash?
I’m a vaper and really would like to find an easy way to make good vape juice I can run in my mod. I tried Robert’s method using alcohol and it’s so-so… takes a lot of vaping to be effective (which, if you like to vape a lot, might be perfect for you). I would love something like the O.pen vape cartridges you can get at a dispensary as far as strength, but in a PG/VG format I can run in my mod…
