Warning: The documentation for the CEB Press is undergoing a thorough overhaul. CAD models and written directions are presently obsolete. For more information, see Talk:CEB_Press#Documentation_overhaul_in_progress. When the models, specifications and text on this article have been thoroughly reviewed, updated when necessary, and confirmed as whole and accurate, this warning may be removed. The CEB CAD model visible above is known, for instance, to outdated with incorrect dimensions on some parts; it will likely be updated only after every component part is thoroughly reviewed and made current.
This page is the starting point for making a CEB Press:
- The Fabrication section details the process of making the parts from raw materials
- The Assembly section identifies the process of putting the parts together to form the machine
- The Programming section deals with automating the process by using a microcontroller called an Arduino to control the hydraulic system
- The Testing section describes processes to perform to test the functionality of a CEB Press
Fabrication
We will be keeping a tally here of what has been updated and what needs to be done on pages that arent done. I'll need to be doing most of the fab instructions as I'm the one who has built 4, but help is welcome for the diagrams. contact me if youre interested in making some. -Brianna
- And please mark it if you finish something. -Brianna
- Everywhere Ive marked I need a better diagram, I want the "Paint" images replaced with a 2D fabrication image. Thanks.
- Arms - primary-New model necessary, old one is innaccurate.
- Arms - secondary-Complete
- Brick Holder Plate-complete
- Controller Mount-needs diagrams and grammar
- Dirt-Keeper Plate-need to figure out hole locations, diagrams
- Feet-complete
- Frame with main cylinder-needs more instructions and diagrams
- Grate mounts-could use better diagrams. 9/28
- Hopper sheet metal-could use a better hole-location diagram 9/29
- Hopper mounting plate-instructions complete, needs better diagram. 9/27
- Hopper supports-needs accurate diagram
- Hoses - Secondary cylinder hose unit-redo completely
- Hoses - Shaker and main cylinder-redo completely
- Hoses - Main hose unit-redo completely
- Leg Holders-complete
- Roller guides-Complete, 9/27
- Secondary cylinder-redo completely
- Secondary cylinder sensor mount-no longer exists. remove from template, then from here. || There's no mount listed in the template. Did you mean the Secondary cylinder sensor unit? --Howard V. Agnew 08:57, 24 September 2011 (CEST) Yes- bri, 9/26
- Soil grate-needs images and instructions
- Soil loading drawer-dimensions have changed, instructions, diagrams need to be updated (rail placement is different now)
- Soil Shaker motor unit-redo completely
- Soil Shaker-complete. Formatting could be better, and better graphics are welcome.
- Valve Mount-needs diagrams and grammar.

Programming
An Arduino is the microprocessor that controls the CEB Press's actions. It must be programmed with the CEB Press's unique program for making bricks.
