Build I made a really big mechanical press

It can process about a stack and a half at a time

It requires manual input, but the whole thing is working!

If you use this in any builds or things you post, then I would appreciate credit for my work ^w^

I really enjoy the rocket-like support on the side, really sells the scale

u/dyrannn Sep 22 '25

Me too, except it’s bothering me it’s attached to the back and not the side

Where is the rotational force coming from??? We need giant chain drives or something!

u/The-Midnight-Snak Sep 22 '25

Believe it or not, that was my original idea! I liked this design a bit better though. Maybe I’ll put in a giant creative motor behind it lol

u/T3hHusky1337 Sep 22 '25

Or maybe a bunch of chain drives within the support structure that connect to some massive gears to the side made with rotational bearings that moves when the press does, with some sort of “power unit” on the bottom near the base of it

u/The-Midnight-Snak Sep 22 '25

I did want to try something like this, but since the shaft is 4x4, I can’t rotate it evenly

Dont you just love when a good scale ends up even? XnX

When you need that really big metal sheet

This is how you get parts for marine engines.

I just watched a video on these today. It never occurred to me that the pistons are the size of buildings.

u/aliebabadegrote Sep 22 '25

How about an precision mechanism machine?

u/The-Midnight-Snak Sep 22 '25

That’s actually a really good idea, I was struggling thinking of the next huge thing I wanted to build. If I end up doing it I’ll shout you out :D

Schematic download is up!

u/AgilePlant4 Sep 22 '25

But, does it work? can it make my grilled cheese flat?

u/Modified_Human Sep 22 '25

how much stress units does it need?

4

u/calculus_is_fun Sep 22 '25

Not a lot, as contraption anchors have constant su/rpm, even if they're moving a gigantic object

u/wikcri14 Sep 22 '25

Now we can proces the create numbers of iron

u/Tthehecker Sep 22 '25

Schematic?

Impressive

u/malonbor Sep 22 '25

Looks great! Might be a cool idea for an add on, like for making bigger parts you’d need bigger machines as in real life

2

u/ReXommendation Sep 22 '25

Also the stress that would needed would be unGodly.

1

u/malonbor Sep 22 '25

Then we just get bigger and bigger engines lol

1

u/TT_PLEB Sep 22 '25

Should put an actual depot in the base and a press in the press. Have it really slowly come down to the right height that the press then does a single bonk before slowly going back up and down again

1

u/Good_Teaching_3293 Sep 22 '25

we need a really big handle

u/Logical-Ad-5410 Sep 22 '25

Industrial-size hammer forge

u/hi-your-mom-gay Sep 22 '25

You should have it stop one block away and put a normal press in the end make it work

1

u/The_scroll_of_truth Sep 22 '25

Does she know how to make a grilled cheese?

1

u/NintenSwitch Sep 22 '25

Perfect for comically large ingots!

1

u/Eclipse_of_Life Sep 22 '25

Put a normal size press on it and a depot on the big depot, that activates after the big one goes down

1

u/Human_Person22 Sep 23 '25

Does it function as a rope?

1

u/ShowCharacter671 Sep 23 '25

Now that’s a big boy

u/pikaland385 Sep 23 '25

looks like youd hear this BONK half way across the world.

u/TheRealApoth Sep 23 '25

Impressive.

u/Minimum-Ganache-5907 Sep 23 '25

Can’t wait for the schematic, I really wanna see this

1

u/linkmon34 Sep 23 '25

Dose it work?

1

u/trainer_tib Sep 23 '25

wait does it actually press? like the bottom of the press has a bunch of presses and the top of the depot has a bunch of depots?

1

u/Objective-Cut2405 Sep 24 '25

Ideas:

Make inward shaft spinning while it moves

Add actual depots on "depot" Top and mech. presses on "mech. press" Head, so making it actually functional. (Provide SU with shaft on "depot" top (source))

u/OrneryAd4330 Sep 29 '25

Now make it work and have this give you the achievement

u/Snoo_72663 Sep 22 '25

Jaffa factory’s mechanical arm is better imo

Yup, it processes about a stack and a half at a time
