Press to dry leaves and flowers

prusaprinters

<p>If you like to dry leaves and flowers for their preservation, I suggest you build this press.</p><p>Perhaps, it can also be useful for other tasks.</p><p>The pieces are designed to fit solidly and have no looseness. You may need to remove the burrs caused by the elephant's foot effect.</p><p>Threaded parts can be printed with 0.2mm layer height to save printing time, but run smoother with 0.15mm.</p><p>To press flowers you will see that it is not necessary to tighten the screw with force, look for the right pressure and do not break the press.</p><p>I haven't tested it, but I think the model could be scaled to 120% without losing functionality.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Assembly:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/260839/rich_content/ad151bb9-e3ab-407c-8e73-9c6f79190600/assembly.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22fb88527c-2530-413a-b05b-32b57be06d1d%22%2C%22w%22%3A1122%2C%22h%22%3A841%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Template for the pieces of cardboard and blotting paper:</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/260839/rich_content/a2712e02-c8d1-46eb-8443-5bf24fa076f0/template.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2240aa4c58-2e40-448c-864e-b66c65ff9749%22%2C%22w%22%3A1169%2C%22h%22%3A827%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
