Abstract: Various rosin press assemblies and methods are described. The rosin press assemblies can include a frame, press plates, a user interface, a press system, and a control unit. The frame can include a plurality of support elements, such as plates. Each plate within the frame can have tabs formed on the ends and edges of the plates and can have slots formed in the plates. The tabs from one plate can interlock with tabs or slots from other plates to form an interlocking frame. The interlocking frame can increase rigidity of the frame to prevent the frame from flexing during operation of the rosin press.
