Thanks!!!
Hey Cody, couple questions. First questions on your subject above how are you changing the colors? Does a spool youāre using change colors or do you add color or something.
Next questions on a totally different subject I donāt know you how much you know about this but itās worth a shot Iām getting ready to build another Press what do you think 12 ton or 20 ton? The Jack some cells donāt weigh that much different but the complete unit sure will. I donāt know how much advantage there is an increasing the pressure. There must be a point where are you would reach maximum pressure needed for extraction. Iām just not sure where to look

Its the filament its self with this one, but there are actually a few different ways to do it, you can change the filament out to get the desired pattern of colors, or you make a sharpie attachment to add pigment with markers.

I would say 12 tons is sufficient, but they used to call me overkill for a reason so I would go with the 20, but like you said it will beef up the entire system to handle it, so weight would quickly become an issue I would think.
Ya he my friend lol.

Well then maybe Iāll just go to the easy route. Because I could just put a 12 ton in my existing press and it would work. 
my problem is I can get a 12 ton low profile jack and make it smaller and stronger at the same time. And then thereās the cool factor. Most the time when I build things the second one is always cooler. The first one seems to always wind up being R&D. My plates are 3ā x 6ā.

OK, so according to that little tidbit on the photo you posted 1000 psi is the maximum pressure needed so 3ā x 6ā plate is 18 in.Ā² which would mean you need 18,000 psi so that being said 12 ton low profile it is. That will give me 24,000 psi that should do it. I just wish I had someone around here close by that would by my first one for what I have in it.

Yeah they got them for 60 bucks at Harbor freight. The problem is I donāt wanna have to haul air compressor around with me to use it not that Iām gonna take it anywhere but I Just in case.
Wait a minute wait a minute it has a hand pump to I didnāt notice that The cool factor just went up 100%.
Shit! Now Iām going to have to learn how to post videos if I build this thing. Still pictures wouldnāt be near as cool as a video.

Too late, I was going to say donāt give him any ideas. Cool factor times 10 is the way to go. Maybe an adapter and hook it up to a scuba tank. Like zoinks scooby!
