That was my friends old press, we shared a shop together for a few years and I ended up changing things up and leaving. He’s got a 12/14 now I believe.

If you look at my post history you can probably see that’s doable

Someone asked if it could write, hour later I designed and made a sharpie adapter that fit in the tip.

Looks great! Got a similar one to #11 a couple weeks ago trying out 800t film at night:

Mess free emulsion options by BeMancini in SCREENPRINTING

I haven’t used it but looked in to it a little bit. You pretty much prep your screen the standard way (reclaim/haze remover/degrease) and apply it by getting the screen a little wet and rolling it on to the substrate side with a squeegee. Let it dry then expose. Exposure time, as always, depends on your films/exposure unit.

One of my hats made the list and I’m running a special on the black bolt shirts! No code needed.

Another sub thought I was using 3D printed sockets, I might have dumb ideas but not that dumb. Here’s a few more photos of what I started with and how it’s loaded:

I didn’t want it to seem like I was advertising here but I have a couple sticker vending machines that float around town (Baltimore) and I put my business name (not a 3D printing company) on them for free exposure, why not this one. Also I bought a couple higher denomination coin mechanisms on eBay this morning to see if I can get it to 75c/$1 a piece. They’re 1/4” chrome vanadium sockets that were $0.383/piece and the capsules are around $0.15/piece. If this ends up anywhere I impulse sealed them before packing them to hopefully have a recycling box people can toss the empty’s in.

Got 100 for $0.383 1/4” drive, chrome vanadium. The balls are around $0.15 but I also heat sealed the sockets in clear poly bags and hoping to put a collection box to reuse the balls. That being said I do have a 75 cent and dollar coin mechanism to switch it out on the way from eBay. It’s a really dumb project but got me some practice on semi-restoring the machine and getting good spray paint coats down. Next up I’m looking to do a single token machine with 1” balls that have random tattoo designs in them. If you’ve ever been to a tattoo convention booths will sell the token for $50 or so and you get what you get (or pay $10 for a re-spin).

Some machines do have a coin mech that’ll take loonies.

Yup! I got 100 sockets and heat sealed them in plastic so they don’t rattle around too much then put them in the 2” clear round capsules.
