GausMaker Artisan Press Kit | For Cheese, Tofu & Paneer

Engineered for Artisanal Precision

The GausMaker Artisan Cheese Press Kit is not a standard kitchen gadget; it is an engineered solution for serious home cheesemakers and small-batch producers. Designed in our Bournemouth studio using advanced CAD simulation, this Cheese Press Kit addresses the common failure points of generic plastic presses: deformation under load and inconsistent pressure application.

The Additive Manufacturing Advantage

Leveraging cutting-edge FDM technology, we manufacture each unit using high-grade PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol). Unlike standard PLA used in hobbyist printing, the PETG construction of our Cheese Press Kit offers:

• Superior Layer Adhesion: Ensures structural integrity under high compression loads.
• Food-Safe Compliance: FDA-approved material safe for direct contact with dairy.
• Chemical & Moisture Resistance: Withstands the acidic whey environment without degrading.

100% Polymer Construction (Rust-Free Design)

We have eliminated metal components completely. The press features a custom-engineered 3D printed torque screw and robust support brackets. This “polymer-on-polymer” design ensures a smooth mechanical action that will never rust or corrode, no matter how much whey or salt it is exposed to. It is compact, robust, and built to last.

Smart Unmolding System

Removing a pressed cheese without damaging the rind is often the hardest part. Our Cheese Press Kit design features a specialized Push-Plate System at the bottom of the inner basket. A discrete disc covers approximately 70% of the base diameter, allowing you to push the finished cheese out effortlessly and cleanly after pressing. No sticking, no breaking.
