Arbor Press

Title says it all, it's an arbor press. From using a standard weight scale i can get about 50-55lbs of force, i could probably get more but im not able to hold it down good enough to were it doesn't pull into itself rather than just push down on the scale, little hard to explain that but hopefully you understand what i mean lol. Comment any questions and i'll try to to give the most accurate answer. recommendations also appreciated.

Just from messing with it and testing its limits, its most certain the weak point is where the top of the base and the "arm" meets.

Also this was all printed with pla (except for the handle connector in abs) at a 0.3 layer height, 3 shells, and 25% infill! I would assume if you used abs,a thinner layer height, more shells, or even more infill you'd be able to get a stronger press.

The actual gear rack is from someone else's design that i scaled up a bit to fit my pinion gear. Unfortunately i haven't been able to find it to credit/link them.
