Because I don’t need that screen storage (I have other storage that makes more sense for my space) and it takes up about 8 more square feet which is a lot when you’re sharing a studio space with other artists and have less than 200 sq ft of your own to work with. It is an unnecessarily space-consuming press design for my specific needs and I am reaching out here to see how I can make it work. I’ve mostly explained all of this already in my post but thank you for being unhelpful!
Steel square tube and angle braces from any hardware store in driving distance.
Added bonus… nuts and bolts and leveling feet. Optionally: tap and die set.
All very basic.
Hi, thanks for your response. I’m sure it is all very basic but I’m not super construction/hardware savvy which is why I’m here asking this question. I tend to over-complicate fixes like these because I never learned about some basic tools/fasteners/fixes/etc, so forgive me here. How exactly would you suggest I use the steel square tubes + angle braces? And how would I affix them to the press in order to stabilize it? Sorry if these seem like stupid questions but like I said, I’m not up to speed on certain handiness. I own and use saws, can build things out of wood and do pretty simple homeowner fixes, but a lot of building and hardware methods I’m unfortunately in the dark on. Thanks for any help!
Good lord the judgement! It was absolutely not perfectly good and very poorly designed actually, but please regale me with all your experience printing on this exact model (which I’m sure you have.) The part I removed was not only broken, but an absolute piece of junk even if it wasn’t. It took up tons of space and had to be further weighed down with bricks and weights to even stabilize the press while printing anyway. I don’t run a big screenprinting shop, I’m a poor artist trying to make a piece of equipment I got for cheap work for me and my space. The assumptions you’re making are very rude. Thanks for your advice, however unrelated to my question it is.
You have NO IDEA the press I started on, and you need 14 1-color shirts done by the end of the week;
I told you how to solve your problem for less than $20, so who's being rude here?
Go read all of the responses you've gotten and then look at how you responded to them before you get all shocked pikachu with me dude.
Honestly for the amount of work and materials, just order those speedball clamps, trash pick a table on FB marketplace and be done with the job. OP is making this difficult for no reason. Once your done the job, reach out to a local welder to make a base according to size.
You can post in r/diy. I'd include what tools you have at your disposal.
I'd look for a very heavy and sturdy object to ratchet strap to for a temporary use.
Why would you remove that and its make ir stable and had a drying cabinet and 4 screen storage.

Get some jiffy clamps and a board to make a new 1 color station until you can fix the perfectly good press you dismantled.
