Description

This is a smaller remix of Se9n's Tofu Press, remixed to fit into a Rubbermaid Brilliance 1.1 Liter container including ½ block of tofu, which is her typical tofu portion.

Why, you ask?
My wife wanted a tofu press, but she did NOT want yet another gadget which would take up space. 
She also wanted a tofu press which would fit into a container we already possessed, specifically a Rubbermaid Brilliance 1.1 Liter.  
Se9n's model works very well and it handles a whole block of tofu.
A whole block of tofu itself barely fits into my wife's specified container, so Se9n's press is significantly too large to fit.
So, I remixed his great model into a form which fits my wife's requests.

Printing

  • PETG, preferably a certified food safe PETG. Could use PLA.
  • 0.20 Layer Height.
  • Infill - 25% or higher using gyroid or cubic. (I use gyroid 35% with 100% for lettering)
  • No supports
  • Hardened Steel nozzle - preferably dedicated. Note: brass often has trace lead.
  • Build plate - very clean with no coating.
     

Models to print

  • Plates: 2 required
    One slotted and one solid OR both slotted.
    Select the HandWashOnly-text versions if advisory text is desired.
  • Stand: 2 required
  • Knobs: 2 required


Included files
I have included STLs of all the individual parts. 
I have also included 3mf file each containing all the parts necessary to print a complete press. 
Various gcode files for printing on a Mk4

How did I print and with what?
My initial tests were printed using Elegoo Rapid PETG. 
While the resulting prints turned out well they were intended only as evaluation prints.
While PETG itself is generally considered food safe, additives such as dyes often are not.

…final prints using Certified Food-Safe filament

  1. I purged my entire hot end to thoroughly clean if of any residue.
  2. Changed to a 0.40 hardened steel nozzle and used a thoroughly cleaned textured build plate.
  3. I printed the final model for use with [Comfy Materials] Carbon, Certified Food Grade PETG filament. The filament is uncolored and semi-translucent.
  4. I used 4 perimeter walls, 35% infill with gyroid, along with a height range modifier which changed the infill for the text (HAND WASH ONLY) to 100%.
