Heat press

A heat press, comprising:

• a body including a first end and a second end;
• a heat plate located proximate the first end of the body and configured to engage ironable materials;
• a control compartment including an electrical circuit, controls and a display, the control compartment spaced away from and at least indirectly electrically coupled to the heat plate;
• an insulation portion positioned between the control compartment and the heat plate and including a first layer of insulating material;
• a handle including a metal substrate and an electrical circuit at least indirectly electrically coupled to the heat plate and the control compartment, the handle located proximate the second end of the body and configured to withstand forces from a user;
• and
• a cover covering a portion of the body and the handle,
• wherein the metal substrate is in direct contact with the insulation portion.

A heat press, comprising:

• a body including a first end and a second end;
• a heat plate including a copper member at least partially embedded in an aluminum die-cast plate and located proximate the first end of the body, the heat plate configured to engage ironable materials;
• a handle located proximate the second end of the body and configured to withstand forces from a user, the handle including a metal substrate at least partially enclosed by a shell;
• a cover covering a portion of the body and the handle;
• a control compartment including a first electrical circuit, controls, and a display, the control compartment spaced away from and at least indirectly electrically coupled to the heat plate;
• an insulation portion positioned between the control compartment and the heat plate and including a first layer of insulating material;
• and
• a second electrical circuit located in direct contact with the metal substrate.
