Homemade T-shirt Heat Press

[@CheaddakerT.Snodgrass]

In all seriousness, glad to see another video from you. Your channel is quietly one of the best channels that build things.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you Sir, and thanks for the kind feedback. Please feel free to share, cause the traction on the channel is pretty slow at the moment. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@christopherblack6607]

I wish this channel had more frequent videos this is a fantastic channel one of my favorites!!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks for the very generous and kind feedback Chris, Hopefully I will be able to punch out more frequent content in the future. Please feel free to share, cause the traction on the channel is pretty slow at the moment.Fingers crossed

[@anthonydtobias]

You always make amazing builds with extreme D.I.Y. materials... it must take a lot of time designing these things. Great job!! Very inspiring!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much for the kind feedback Anthony, glad you like it. It its time consuming, but very satisfying getting good feedback in the end.

[@AlehandrosArhangelos]

DIY is not having your own workshop. He has a big fat CNC machine to precut all the pieces. Good project, but not DIY for sure.

[@ehrichweiss]

@@AlehandrosArhangelos so he shouldn't use a saw or anything else either since that's also technology that someone might not have at their house, right? Seriously, DIY = do it yourself and that's what he did, and you could replicate it yourself *without* using a CNC so it'd still be DIY for you too. You ought to get rid of that "too much technology doesn't mean it's DIY" nonsense because you will find that is a rabbit hole that you don't want to go down.

[@sanshrerosy]

the only video on youtube. its my luck I found your channel . great DIY. Can you please elaborate the transfer of pressure in detail. It will help in removing the faults while replicating the model.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Glad you liked it. Not sure what you are asking. The clamping pressure is adjusted with the bolt on top that has the knurled handle

Wow thats really cool. I didn't even know those silicone heat mats existed, I'll have to keep that in mind when making a bigger 3d printer bed. Im in the US and in the process of making a lowrider cnc mill myself. My older brother is trying to start a t-shirt printing business and was wondering if I might be able to get the cutout plans to help him get started. Thanks.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks for the feedback Tim. Sound like you have a great time coming with that new cnc build. Unfortunately the cnc files are not complete and correct as some modifications where done after the cutout along the build process. Also I am on the verge of maybe making some plans for this build. Hope your brothers business plan works out and best of luck in your shop😄👍

Very good! Congratulations! I am considering a custom t-shirt business locally, but the thermal press is very expensive in Brazil and I am also unable to export due to the freight price. I was looking for a DIY thermal press to make myself and finally found your video. I wonder if you can share the plan. As you mentioned, you are not building this fantastic business machine, so I ask if there is a chance to get the plan. Thank you so much!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much for the kind feedback , and for your interest Sir. Unfortunately there are no plans available for this one. I have been thinking about making some available, but have not decided yet. I wish you the best on your new business idea, and I think I have seen a couple of other diy heatpresses on YT, that are a little less complex. Maybe some of these have some plans available. Have a great day👍😄

[@carmailaseymour5105]

can you show how you wired the temp controls box?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

It depends on what controller you use. But there are only 6 wires. 2 for power in, 2 for power out to heating element, and 2 for the temp sensor. On my controller it was labeled on the terminals

[@xylonguitars]

Great to see you back Roy. Just checked on your website and couldn't find a link to purchase a t-shirt. Are you planning to sell any in the future? Best wishes Evangelos

It is wired to the temperature controller seen a 10:51

[@raulegido]

nice idea & video. Quick question, Could you add more heatpads using the same power supply? thank you

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks. Do you mean like heating pads for mugs and hats and so on? The controller can handle up to 2000w, but you would have to make some kind of plug to switch the heating element and temp sensor, so it could be done

[@AbhishekSharma-yo3zz]

How can we buy this raw material?

[@azraelabaddon9415]

How hot can the silicone pad get? Is the heat even over the whole thing for sublimation

Hi, great Video! It inspires me to try it out, thank you very much :D And thats where i was wondering: the Thermostat Regulator from the link in the description says it can controll the temperature from negative 40 to 99 Degree Celsius. That sounds like its not suitable because the Press should operate at appr. 160 Degree Celsius is that correct?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanx. Yes that is correct, Seem s like the suppliers has changed the product in the affiliate link after this was released. Yes you need a controller able to read values up to 170 degrees plus

Hi Tom. The transfer is heat transfer vinyl. It comes in sheets or on a roll. The design can be made digital and cut on a vinyl cutter. I personally do not have one, so I cut mine on my homemade laser engraver.
