Abstract: A foot press system for extracting rosin. The system includes a baseplate configured to releasably attach to a heat press unit having a top section with a first heat plate and a bottom section having a second heat plate, wherein the top section is configured to close downwardly towards the bottom section such that the first heat plate is pressable towards the second heat plate. The baseplate includes a substrate having a first side adapted to lay on a flat surface and a second side adapted to receive the bottom section of the heat press unit; a pair of lateral stabilizer guide coupled to substrate and configured to maintain the top section in a laterally stable position as the top section is closed downwardly; and a notch configured to receive an end of the of the bottom section of the heat press unit proximate the second heat plate.
