Looks nice , more info would be nice like whats it made of, how much did it cost so far. Looks like a bolt together which is kewl. Do you have a link to the plans I would be interested in checking them out. I am really interested in designing and making my own press but might settle for modding something that is already there.

Looks good so far, what about registration? I am sure it will be great once it is done. Good luck and keep up the good work. I love when I see people building their own stuff, I just wish I was handy enough to do it.

Its all about registration. I don't even use a carousel if it doesn't need tight registration, so with out micro I feel like the idea of the carousel is defeated.

If you build it right the metal frame will last longer. I've seen some wooden ones that fell apart, and some that held up over several years. I'd like to see some more detail, looks sick tho

Hay can you document your home made presses here like building process , parts needed price etc. I am interested in making my own and documentation of others might help in what to do but more important what not to do.

Small rubber mallet here. I am going to add 2 knobs to move the screen forward, that will help a lot I think. Giving me forward and pivot adjustments.
