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 The CEB CAD model visible above is known, for instance, to outdated with incorrect dimensions on some parts; it will likely be updated only after every component part is thoroughly reviewed and made current.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
- Many of the pages with a check on them have really primitive diagrams which ought to be updated. They're clear enough to be worked from, but should really be replaced.-Brianna 10/7
- Arms - primary-The models are correct except that the left arm also needs the slot for the roller guides.-Bri
- Arms - secondary
- Brick Holder Plate
- Controller Mount-Needs model. 10/4
- Dirt-Keeper Plate
- Feet
- Frame with main cylinder-Page is finally done! the model can be completed now. 10/18
- Main Cylinder Preparation- Needs model 10/18
- Main Frame Preparation-Needs models 10/18
- Grate mounts-
- Hopper sheet metal-
- Hopper mounting plate-
- Hopper supports-needs accurate diagram
- Hoses - Secondary cylinder hose unit-
- Leg Holders-needs model 10/9
- Roller guides
- Soil grate- needs model. 10/7
- Soil loading drawer-I updated the rail placement. Now we need a model and diagrams for the "normal" CEB. Also, could somebody go back and change all of the a.) b.) c) ... things into numbers? -Brianna 10/7
- Soil Shaker motor unit-
- Soil Shaker-
- Valve Mount- Needs model. 10/9

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.
