Cheese Press Mold and Follower

pinshape

SummaryMakers were crafting culinary delights before creating household items, so what better than merging the two? If you're a food enthusiast and ever wondered about crafting cheese from scratch, it's easy, enjoyable, and produces delectable cheese made from ingredients of your choice versus some factory-made product. This mold enables you to shape a 2-pound wheel of cheddar or whatever type you prefer. The image shows a semi-soft goat farmer's cheese. Update - I have added a mold with a bottom and drainage system. Printed in PLA at 100% fill, it has withstood 50 pounds of pressure in a cheese press with ease. The ring mold is printed at 100% fill with four shells. The follower is also printed at 50% fill with four shells. You can experiment with reduced fill levels, but the follower must bear at least 50 pounds of load in the press. A 50% fill level held up well when printed in PLA.
