In short. No. You need to do the calculations for the PSI on your pressing area yourself. But there is also one factor here that you have forgot to include, it is unlikely that you will use the entire surface area of your plates, you will more than likely have a pre pressed form slightly...

Looking to upgrade my Chinese glass rig to something a little nicer. If I got around 500 bucks to spend could anyone suggest some nice artists that are in that ballpark. Much appreciated! EDIT: Just to give an idea of my taste this is basically my dream peace, love design and color ways like...

Saw the name pop up and knew that I had just heard it somewhere. I am not accusing anyone as this is not my thread but am leaving this here as a heads up and in hopes that @mstract can help to clarify these claims...

It's in there, just got to dig for it ;)

@OldOyler I don't press Leif myself but my buddy LOVES it, comes over to my place all the time to press his lol. You should definitely use a screen though, I would recommend some 25u. The whole pre press thing was just one of those misconceptions people heard in the begging in there I feel...

So, when I am pressing less than 1.5 grams at a time I would tend not to pre press. I usually find it unnecessary, and it is pretty wasteful in all honesty... Instead just kind of compress the bud with your fingers first so it fits between the plates and you should be good to go. When I was...

Hey agree to disagree I guess... My point isn't that the larger plate size creates less psi, its that if you are only going to be squishing that amount you should get smaller plates as to avoid having your rosin have to travel across that hot surface for any longer than absolutely necessary. As...

Sooo the consensus that we reached is that as long as your press produces a ton of force and you aren't pushing more than .5 at once the psi shouldn't matter because its the surface area of the nug you calculate from not the plates. To answer your question, Yes under those requirements the High5...

@herbivore21 Okay, so I think we can both agree then that 2500 would probably be a good bottom end to use as reference ;) When I put together my first press I thought Joel's plates where going to be 3 inches and I was doing the maths wrong as well... Ended up with wayyyy too much but left a lot...

Quality phone choice :tup: That mic should be a huge improvement, especially over last week lol. Love the show man. Its a Tuesday ritual. Keep doing what your doing :)

:p Yeah, I don't know maybe it's just a preferential thing but I had used some 2" round Joel W. Plates (May they rest in peace :rip: and hopefully rise again some day :zombie:) which even when using the entire surface area, which I became pretty good at doing, had 7643psi available. This was...

Not to mention at this point the DIY thread is pretty dense. If this thread could try to sum up some of that in the next five pages or so and let everyone know a good place to jump in as of now\ I think it could be great :) Thanks man took a little trial and error to get to where it is now but...

So the problem with all the sub $2000 production presses I've seen so far is they just don't produce enough pressure... That does't mean that this will always be the case but at this stage in the game any rosin press worth its shit is still "some assembly required". Also not a shill but my...

@CCA710 Great to see you here man! Such an awesome product and its always great to have the creator right at home with us :)

Good, yes but that guy right there isn't going to put out quite as much PSI as your probably going to want. Your looking for around 3000-6000 PSI for best results possible, that's why most of us build our own out of 12-20 ton shop presses. Basically your looking for the best set of plates to...

I'd like an FC-710 and would like to not have to wait for one to come from china, if anyone has one that they would let go of let me know!

@j-bug with a hurricane cap I think.

@Monsoon I was quoted 550 for a 20mm with sapphire insert just to give an idea.

Ive experienced this a few times before. I have to put my finger on top of the cup and donut and press down so every things level, then screw down nice and tight. Then everything should good to go!

Yes Indeed, if you hear anything let me know, and hey @divinetribe if you want to chime in that would be sweet!
