A little late, but this should help others with the same press or similar presses. You don’t need those plates all you had to do was loosen the center bolts where the frame brackets meet the arm. While having a frame in the down position put 4 quarters on platen then tighten and you should have good off contact.
you mean the bolt he's adjusting at 7:40? That doesn't really fix the issue because the frame shoots upwards. It's really hard getting good offcontact because there are no tilt adjustments on this
@@dj7ply @12:25 you can see the bolts and slot that allows it to go up and down, i have a similar press and the brackets that angles the screens, i loosen those same bolts put washers inbetween the metal to wedge it and tighten and it angles them down enough that the screen is level
ZOBE eboz oh! I tried that but the only issue i had is that it makes the bolts loose and the screen moves. It can be a problem for registration. Where exactly do you put the washers?
I've been screen printing in a big shop for a while now, and i had one of these lying around my house as a gift from a parents from before I started at my job just because I was interested in the profession. never set it up because I didn't have the room. finally set it up. was so disappointed because if you buy it from amazon they state that the pallet base spins independent of the print heads, but they definingly do not. lol. glad to see some modification for this press.
Dang...that's sucks. Amazon do sell this brand with spinning platens, just got go through the description thoroughly! But to be honest..depending on how far you're trying to take it...you will definitely have to get a much better press! This press was a headache after I had advanced in the profession.
@@STOPBEINGLAZYMOVEMENT I’m actually getting a old press from my boss for free here in about a month. I really lucked out. It’s old but it’s a Richardson manual so it’s reliable.
Brother, good mod and cool hat. Hopefully you still on top moving forward.
I love to see people making homemade stuff or diy and succeeding, nice 😃👏
Building keeps the mind working

Reliable equipment is key! Helps to keep the stress levels down...😂😂😂
Thanks this was really helpful
Just seeing this, gonna order me one soon, but I've been looking at videos, and you helped me out a lot. Thanks
No problem at all...thanks for watching🙏🏿
JB Weld worked wonders on my press frame plates
Helpful. Hilarious. Subscribed.
13:12 You see those bolts in the back where you soldered that piece. Can you can loosen those and adjust the height of the screens?
I no longer have this press bro... I'm not sure....this was almost two years ago...my apologies🙏🏿
Can you add micros to this press?
Not that I know of, I wouldn't suggest you add micros to this press anyway! It's not the best quality!
My press screen won't stay down when pushed all the way down to palet ...it pops up... what can be wrong ?
Hey bro came across this video and want to modify my platens as well. Where did you get your metal plates
I got them from home Depot bro
@@STOPBEINGLAZYMOVEMENT ok by chance do you know the name or size. Cause i have that same gap so these would be perfect. Thanks for reaponding
