    If one doesn't turn up, if you put a metal plate ( i use a piece of ally) between your press and the bench that extends out about 4 inches and sit a travel iron on it, you can adjust the heat and it works very well and costs under £20!

    Heater

    I up-graded to the new one with the rear pin heater in a few years ago,
    one of the best things I have ever spent £s on,
    drill a hole in yours and buy the cable heater,
    you will not regret it,
    go spend some £s,

    You can get the pin heaters for 3D printers on for about a fiver. They are normally around 20W which is the same power as the Lyman heater.

    They are normally 12V so you will need a power supply to run it.
