Tofu Press

This five-part print is designed to drain excess water from blocks of tofu efficiently. In addition to the printed components, it utilizes two C-756 utility compression springs (23/32" x 3-1/2" x 0.41") for optimal functionality. The Century Spring Corp. manufactured the springs I used in my project. During one of my prints, the locking arms on the lid spread excessively wide due to poor printing quality, resulting in a weak lock mechanism. To resolve this issue, I individually heated each arm with a hair dryer and carefully bent them back into shape. It is essential not to overbend the springs.
