This table top press is 3d printed from ‎Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate(ASA), an engineering-grade 3d printing filament. ASA is lightweight, tough, and much more heat resistant than Polylactic Acid(PLA). ASA can resist temperatures up to 212F (100C). This press is Perfect for outdoor printing events or printing on the go. This press looks like a toy but can get some serious printing done with its 5:1 gear reduction. The gear reduction makes it so that even children can crank the handle and produce relief prints. And with a little bit of effort and high-quality felts you can print consistent drypoints and etchings.
 
If you plan to print etchings, make sure you have a good set of felts at home or check out my store for a set of mini felts!
 
*WARNING: Avoid cleaning your press with acetone, as ASA filament can be dissolved by acetone. 
 
Options:
Press bed: The press can come in a 6inch wide variation or 8inch wide variation. The press will come with a piece of hardboard that can be used as a basic press bed. The press is designed to take any flat hard surface as a press bed, so if you lose or break it, it can be easily user replaced or upgraded. I recommend using a surface that is 1/4inch thick to maintain consistency with the built in ruler on the side of the press.
 
Extending wings: This upgrade adds more room for your press bed to sit on either side of the press while maintaining the original portable form factor. The wings will greatly help when feeding and catching larger prints, especially with the 8-inch wide press. These wings utilize the same base as the standard phantom plastic press v2, meaning that you can buy the base press and then add on the extending wings later without having to buy a whole new press.
 
Press form: The kit form press will come in pieces and you will have to assemble it yourself. You will need some lubricant (such as oil or grease), super glue that works on plastic, and a phillips head screwdriver. Instructions included. The Fully Assembled version  will come fully assembled, calibrated, and lubricated. The gearbox will be permanently attached to the top roller.
 
This press only comes in 1 color scheme because of the price of the filament and slower printing speeds make it harder for me to maintain a large stock of parts. Send an email or message me on instagram if you want a custom colorway.
