Hi Katrina, the piece that melted is a small square foam pad (shipping pad) that you were to remove before heating. It’s easy to miss.

FINALLY! Someone 8 trust that purchased this. I ordered it in May. Had the same issue as you with that shipping pad that they don’t have a pre-warning to remove it’s hidden in the back of the manual. Initially, when I pulled the drawer out and inspected the mat that piece of material wasn’t there it obviously was stuck to the upper platen due to electro static. And when I was testing open and closing and trying to get the pressure, it was heating up and I was smelling this plastic come to find out what it was so now I got plastic residue stuck to the top of it. A little bit is on the mat, but I can’t get it off the top. When I chatted with their support, they were like you gotta let it cool down and then scrape it off. My set up button doesn’t work like you show it and I even videoed and sent it to their support team showing the set up button doesn’t work. But it’s like two or three days before they respond.

They only reference that on page 10 of the user manual. By then it’s too late if you haven’t seen it and already started testing the temps.

Cool, Rebox, and send it back for another one or refund 😮

It was a foam pad. I got lucky, because as soon as I saw it heat up, I switched the press off and to screw the handle on I flipped it to the side and thus it fell out. I only noticed it much later on the table. And I also learned that the pressure 5 is still on the low end. You need to raise the pad with solid cardboard or thick felt, so the design is really engrained into the fabric. You can likely use a spatula to remove the melted foam from the top plate.

Hi Katrina, I have the HTV Ront and had similar problems at the beginning. Until I realized that my plotter foils for the Cameo prefer to be peeled off cold. It is similar with DTF. At least 60% of them prefer to be cold-stripped. With plotter films from Sef, or Poly-Tape, for my large plotter from Vevor, there is no problem with cold stripping. Many thanks for your great and helpful videos. Best regards from Germany

I had high hopes for this one. I have the Vevor swing away, it works great. I haven't used it since I got my HTVRont. I ordered it during production. It works great. I use the pad from the Vevor when I need more pressure or even a towel will work. I've done vinyl, HTV, DTV and sublimation and have never lost any blanks. I even do large hoodies on mine. This one looks like it has less clearance. I too, wouldn't like the no start\stop button. My next heat press will be a 20 or 24 in one. I'll be watching for the side by side comparison.

Trust me, everything that she has demonstrated is true because I’ve had the same issues. I haven’t even been able to use it to press a project because 1) that plastic white pad melted to the top of the platen and I have no way to scrape it off. I even tried to scrape it while it was still warm. 2) The instruction manual is horrible if it wasn’t for the fact that she demonstrated using it most people would be confused by the manual. My set up button does not work at all and I have to contact them to return it even though it’s past 30 days.
