Graywolf Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) I've always made my own screens, et al. A single 150 micron screen produces useable hash.

vapeOguy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Hunt the moon. on eebay , printing screens. Basic and pretty cheap, they are sturdy and, you can make decent sift with the 43t. Pics at the top all came from the 43t . I’ve a 77t as well but I find that’s to fine.They are years old now. The biggest size you can get tho is size A3 so not ideal if you have a lot to get through .

How do you translate between thread count and micron sizes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamedodger Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Get yourself a trim bin and a trimbinator patents pending all rights reserved 40w of vibration I just chuck my trim in my trim bin switch on the vibes and come back in half an hour. I’d love to try it out on some screens like @lildaveham it’s very gentle. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graywolf Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) 20 hours ago, MidgeSmith said: How do you translate between thread count and micron sizes? You need both the thread count and the wire or thread size. There will be one less pore than thread count, so each inch will have the thread count plus one less pore. If you multiply the thread count times the thread size and subtract that from (1), it leaves the space remaining for pores. If you divide that space by the number of pores, it gives individual pore size in inches. Divide pore size in inches by .00003937 to get micron size.

Gaijin Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 @Graywolf Thank you for those links, great info @vapeOguy Nice little hash pellets I'll have a look at those screens, thanks @Flamedodger I can't work out what you're using for vibration. What's under that trim bin? Don't be shy @lildaveham Thanks for that Dave, bookmarked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be shy A 40w concrete vibrator, they’re proper powerful, so you need a pwm dimmer to slow it down. It’s basically a vibration plate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
