500ML Syringe Mini-Press/Compactor (Revision 2)

thingiverse

UPDATED JUNE 20: Added Revision 2 of the Hobby Press... This revision has not been printed or tested yet. Use at your own risk. A slight redesign improves the strength of the syringe holder, while adding more material is a necessary cost. A stronger and more rigid joint between the syringe holder and the pressing chamber is also introduced. Print with supports to prevent the circle in front from collapsing; this circle holds the syringe in place to help prevent failure. Additional security measures are still recommended. To use Revision 2, print the "r2" parts along with the "Extra Parts." However, DO NOT print the small rectangular parts found in the Extras, as they are no longer necessary for Revision 2. Ever dreamed of creating something like the Hydraulic Press Channel? Unfortunately, this is not the perfect solution if you're looking to create content like that. BUT... if you need a compact hobby press for personal projects or experiments, then you've come to the right place. This pneumatic/hydraulic press is designed specifically to accommodate a 500 ML extra-large syringe, such as this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L14NXZS/. Have you given this Hobby Press a try? If so, PLEASE share your Make! Your feedback and experiences will help me identify potential design flaws and improve future designs.
