Introducing the STURDY DECK PRESS !
 

I tested another popular press here and found many problems with it: difficulty inserting the cards, difficulty removing the cards, the different parts were difficult to hold together while screwing them together, and it broke when tightening.
 

So, as it is often the case, that's when I said to myself, “I'm going to make my own, simple, functional, and sturdy.”
 

To do this, I designed it with side cards insertion, with an upper tray that attaches to the screw on first use and then stays attached, and with an optional lower tray to ensure that no cards get stuck in the press, all made of ABS.
 

When using it for the first time, insert your cards (with or without the lower tray), then place the upper tray on top. When you turn the screw down, don't hesitate to apply force when you feel the first resistance. You will hear a click, and the screw will engage with the tray. When you unscrew it, the tray will rise on its own with the screw.

Oh, and for those wondering what it's for, it's to remove air from sleeved or double-sleeved cards, thereby reducing the thickness of the deck and making it more stable on the table, and it works very well !

Be careful not to leave a small pebble on your cards if you don't want to damage them.

Need a deck box to store and carry your freshly pressed deck?
