This is a design for a miniature printing press, adapted from the Provisional Press. It was redesigned for ease of assembly, while maintaining many of the same features. The pieces are all cut from 3/16" plywood, and keyed into place using tabs and slots. All pieces are subsequently glued together for rigidity. This is the press used by the Kitchen Lithography workshop.
Bill of Materials:
- 3/4-10 Nuts
- 3/4-10 Rod (12 inches in length)
- 8mm bearings
- 20mm bearings
- 2" PVC tubing
- 4'x8'x3/16" Plywood sheet, cut to size for laser engraver.
Safe Operating Procedure:
Before using:
- Ensure that all bolts are sufficiently tightened.
- Ensure that no debris exists in the print tray.
- Use dunnage to lift the print block to the correct height for printing. Roller should experience some resistance when rolling over the dunnage and block.
While using:
- Keep fingers clear of the roller.
After using:
- Clean up any spills, and return any dunnage to the proper area.
