Tofu Mold/Press

thingiverse

There are a few tofu presses I've come across. What I'm after is one with thicker walls and an elevated bottom from box for better draining. There might be one available on Thingiverse, but I wasn't able to track it down. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure your soy milk curds have cooled before you press them. I printed this in PETG, and at 150F it was too warm for the press. This temperature caused it to warp the bottom and partially melt some of the top solid layer. I've added a couple images to show what I'm referring to with the gray background. If your printer is large enough, you can print the lid and bottom together. Otherwise, I've left each piece separate. I have also included the Blender .blend files so anyone wanting to tweak things can. Supports are needed only for the bottom piece. I didn't experience any issues printing the top without them. I chose a 50% infill with 5 layers on top and bottom, but after watching CNC Kitchen's video on infill, I think a thicker wall would be stronger and you can get away with less infill.
