Heat set insert press for everybody!

Hey guys, I created this cute press as an alternative to the aluminum profile presses.

Feel free to remix the press and adapt it to your needs. You can find more information and a link to onshape below, but for now, here's what you need.

You can use it for objects up to 6cm. For larger ones, remove the inlay.

Remix it!

For all those who want to remix, here is the onshape link: Heat Set Insert Press

I have to say, however, that it was my first attempt with onshape and I was more interested in getting to know the GUI than in keeping the project tidy.

Therefore, a small preview of the next updates, if the project goes down well with you.

Coming Updates
  • Change wrong Configuration variables in Variable Studio
  • Make it more parametric safe
  • remove bugs, if somebody cry

 

Changelog:

  • 22.09.24 - V1.0:
    • Release Version
