Stand-Alone Cylinder Printer

Due to a communication snafu, I didn't realize the intended recipient of last week's Cylindrical Screen Printing attachment didn't have a T-Press to put it on. So this week we have the proof of concept of the redesigned machine. It is more compact and is more adjustable for different size items.

Very good, simple and easy method of screen 👣 printing.

You : I put this together in a couple of hours, now I'm selling it.
Me : This took me all weekend. It looks like a six year old made it. But it works!
I feel like I owe you a beer.

Good job getting it done! If you ever get to Camarillo, I'll take you up on that beer...Then I'll buy you one.

Awesome! Chris, you're a genius 🙌🏾

neat!

Great video... What makes the jar spin? Is it just the screen moving against the jar that makes the jar spin

[@cyclesurgeon]

It's just the friction of the screen and the jar. The z608 bearings roll very smoothly and don't require much force..

[@CraftRituals]

That is awesome! What ink do we use for plastic bottles? Thanks

[@cyclesurgeon]

Have a look at the Nazdar line of inks.

👍

[@mail2mahii]

Try it to ball pen printing...i think small cylendrical movement required

[@NBRDL]

What ink are good for plastic cups?

[@cyclesurgeon]

Not a clue. I haven't done plastic cups.

[@EXECUTEWEALTH]

How do you coat that small screen

[@cyclesurgeon]

I have a smaller scoop coater

[@jasonenz4238]

Rad! How do you keep the cylinder from moving left or right?
I'm all about simple design :)

[@cyclesurgeon]

I have a couple limit bolts that contact the jar top edge and along the bottom. Kind of like the X axis adjustments I use on regular printing screens.

[@EXECUTEWEALTH]

Which bolts to move left and right

[@raraavis8996]

Would you sell me one? I Have the frames(18x20)

[@cyclesurgeon]

Unless you're printing Home Depot buckets 18X20 is way larger than you would need. It's just a greater material and shipping charge for something you don't need. But yes, I'll build one any size you would like. email [e-mail] and we'll 'talk'

[@dydyra9124]

We should use V sharp squeegee or what?

[@dydyra9124]

What is your mesh count?

[@cyclesurgeon]

between 160 and 230...depending on the design.

[@dydyra9124]

@@cyclesurgeon can use 120
?

[@cyclesurgeon]

@@dydyra9124 Don't see why not

[@dydyra9124]

@@cyclesurgeon when I use 120 the ink pass the screen to glass a lot and my picture so bad

[@cyclesurgeon]

@@dydyra9124 Then I guess you can't use 120 for your design...simple as that. You have to experiment a bit.
